A SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OFAMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

GENERAL OPERATION

Read, understand, and follow al! instructions in the manual

and on the machine before starting.

OnIy 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.

Besure the area isclear of other people before mowing, Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

Never carry passengers.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always

took down and behind before and while 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.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and

tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury ordeath.

All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the

slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

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. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

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.

Keep all movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

Do notmow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The

mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge

of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause

sliding.

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the

ground.

Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful

care of another responsible adult.

Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small

children.

, Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are

flammable and vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.

Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight

and keep equipment in good condition,

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before

storing.

Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and

deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow

objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and

replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when nec-

essary.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or

wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as

required.

, Turn knob clockwise (_l) to raise cutting height.

Turn knob counterclockwise (_#_) to lower cutting

height.

The cutting height range isapproximately 1-1/2" to 4". The

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

grass and types of grass being mowed.

The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2

inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and better looking

lawns, mow often and after moderate growth

For best cutting performance, gross over _ inches in

height should De mowed twice Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

rnsert key into ignition and turn keyclockwise to"START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen

seconds per minute, if 'engine does not start after

several attempts, move throttle control to fast (._)

position, wait a few minutes and try again.

When engine starts, slowly push choke control in.

Move throttle control to fast (_,) position.

Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before

engaging drive or attachments,

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold

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 Adjust-

ments section of this manual,

MOWING TIPS

= Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is

attached to tractor.

Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" ir

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

= Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a

guide. The blade cuts aooroximately an inch outside

the runner (See Fig. 7).

• The left hand side of mower should be used for trim-

ming.

Drive so that clippings are dischargee onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the

tractor. 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 ISee Fig, 8).

If grass is extremely tall. it should be mowea twice to

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clio-

pings, Make first cut relatively high: the second to the

desired height.

• Do not mow grass when it is wet, Wet c "ass will plug

mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to

ory before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to

assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select-

Ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting

pertormance as well as the quality of cut desired.

When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that will suit the terrain and give best performance ol

the attachment being used.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Figs. 31 &

32)

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust-

ment may be required to compensatefor differences in fuel.

temperature, altitude or load, If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the mixture screw in (clockwise) de-

creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/

air mixture, Turning the mixture screw out (counterclock-

wise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine gwing a

richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS N CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TIGHT,

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

Be sure you have a clean air filter and the throttle

control cable and choke are adjusted properly (see

above).

With engine off turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise)

closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns.

FINAL SETTING -

Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes, Make

final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion

control lever n neutral (N) position.

With throttle control lever in slow (,_I) position, hold

throttle lever against idle speed screw and adjust idle

speea screw to obtain 1200 to 1400 RPM.

ADJUSTMENTS

While still holding throttle lever against idle speed

screw, turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise) until

engine begins to die and then turn out _counterclock _

wise) until engine runs rough. Turn screw to a point

midway between those two positions.

Continue to hold throttle lever against idlespeed screw

and adjust idle speed screw to obtain 900 to 1200

RPM. Release throttle lever.

ACCELERATION TEST -

Move throttle control lever from slow (_/to fast (,_)

position, If engine hesitates or dies turn idle mixture

screw out (counterclockwise} 1/8 turn. Reoeat test

and continue to adjust, ifnecessary, until engine acceh

erates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust -

damage may result.

where fumes may reach an open flame

_t_ the engine to cool I

in enclosure. _ .

TRACTOR

Remove mower trom tractor for winter storage. When

mower is _oDe stored for a period of time clean it thor-

oughly, remove all dirt. grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, cry area.

Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING"in the Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

Inspect and replace belts if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

Lubricate as shown in the Customer Resoonsibilities

section of this manual.

Be sure that a!l nuts. bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving partsfordamage, breakage

and wear. Reolace if necessary.

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces: sand

lightly before painting.

BAKERY

Fully charge the battery for storage.

After a period of time in storage, battery may require

recharging.

To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during

long periods of storage, battery cables should be

disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Cus-

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected ana p_ace

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached.

If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do no1

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL :UEL

SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR. FUEL FILTER

FUEL HOSE. OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSQ

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.

Drain the fue tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are emuty,

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage

container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding

stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor ifusing fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OiL

Drain oil (with enc ne warm_ and replace with clean engine

oil. _See "ENGINE" n the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual).

CYLINDERS

Remove spark plug(s).

Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s', nto

cylinder(s),

Turn ignitionkeyto "START" position fora few seconds

to distribute oil,

Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace your gasoline car" If your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause proutems,

If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it to

give protection from dust and dirt,

Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that

does net retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and

will cause _our tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
