IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
I.
GENERAL
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual
and on the machine before starting.
a
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.
*
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,
which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
e
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Never carry passengers.
* Do not mow in reverse unless absolute1 necessary.
Always look down and behind before and whi e backing.
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point
it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the
entire grass catcher or the guard in place.
Slow down before turning.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn
off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove
keys before dismounting.
Turn off blades when not mowing.
Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging
chute.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into
a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death.
back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow
it.
DO:

All
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.

INSURE
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instruc-
tions for additional information. Never use engine or car-
buretor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

OPERATION
TO
START
ENGINE
(See
Fig.
6)
When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine
it
has run out of fuel,
will take extra cranking time to move
fuel from the tank to the engine.
Sit on seat in operating position, depress
clutchlbrake
pedal and set parking brake.
*
Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.
Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.
*
Move throttle control to choke position.
NOTE:
Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
procedures below.
Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to "START"
position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do not
run starter continuously for more than fifteen seconds per
minute. If the engine does not start after several attempts,
move throttle control to fast position, wait a few minutes
and try again. If engine still does not start, move the throttle control back to the choke position and retry.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50" F and above)
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast
position.
*
The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If the
engine does not accept the load, restart the engine and
allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as
described above.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle
control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly,
then move throttle control to fast position. This may require
an engine warm-up period
minutes, depending on the temperature.
The attachments can also be used during the engine warmup period.
NOTE:
If
at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
(
50"
F and below)
fr~m several seconds to several
temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture
may
need to be adjusted for best engine performance.
See
'TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual.
MOWING
*
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is
attached to tractor.
*
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See "TO
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a guide.
The blade cuts approximately an inch outside the runner
(See Fig.
*
The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming.
8
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that
has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting.
*
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite
direction making left hand turns until finished (See Fig.
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height.
0
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
*
Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to
assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low
enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well
as the quality of cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a ground speed that
will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain tractor as instructed in this manual.
Some adiustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tractor.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.
Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter, and check blades and belts for
wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

BArrERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the
battery with an automotive charger will extend its life.
Keep battery and terminals clean.
*
Keep battery bolts tight.
r
Keep small vent holes open.
*
Recharge at 6-1 0 amperes for 1 hour.
TO CLEAN
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause
the battery to "leak" power.
Open battery box door.
Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED bat-
tery cable and remove battery from tractor.
*
Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.

Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire
brush until bright.
Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly.
Reinstall battery (See "CONNECT BATTERY" in the
Assembly section of this manual).

V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours
of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not
adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.
TRANSAXLE COOLING
Keep transaxle free from build-up of dirt and chaff which
can restrict cooling.
NOTE:
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at
least once a year if the tractor is not used for 25 hours in
one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight
capldipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
