IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINEIS CAPABLEOF AMPUTATINGHANDS AND FEET AND THROWINGOBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVETHE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSCOULD RESULTIN SERIOUS INJURYOR DEATH.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the machine before starting.

• 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.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mow-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while back-

ing.

• 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 un-

clogging 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 road-

ways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine

into a trailer or truck.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-re-

lated injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris

build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts

and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-up to occur.

Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or

storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

I1.SLOPE OPERATION

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

tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

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 slow and gradual

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. Iftires lose trac-

tion, 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 not mow 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, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

components and replace with manufacturer's recom-

mended parts, when necessary.

• 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.

SAFETY RULES

_Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

Be sure the area isclear of other people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

Never carry passengers or children even with the blades

off.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always

look down and behind before and while backing.

Nevercarry children.They may fall off and be seriously injured

or interfere with safe machine operation.

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.

Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), 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.

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

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift

into reverse and back down slowly.

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

and gradually downhill, if possible.

WARNING: In order to prevent acci-

dental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire

and place wire where it cannot contact

spark plug.

I WARNING: Do not coast down a hill I

&I in neutral, you may lose control of the I

tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and comply

with specifications of the manufacturer

of your tractor. Use common sense

when towing. Operate only at the low-

est possible speed when on a slope.

Too heavy of a load, while on a slope,

is dangerous. Tires can lose traction

with the ground and cause you to lose

control of your tractor.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and cer-

tain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause ca ncer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases

may cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this

possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on

grass areas.

I& CAUTION: Always stop tractor com- I

pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-

mance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Use choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine.

Do not use to start a warm engine.

• To engage choke control, pull knob out. Slowly push

knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 8)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

motion control lever.

• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral (N)

position.

• Release parking brake.

• Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The position of the attachment lift lever determines the

cutting height.

• Grasp lift lever.

• Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired

position.

The cutting height range is approximately 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, grass over 6 inches

in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• Remove retainer spring and clevis pin which secure

each gauge wheel bar.

• Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise gauge wheels

slightly to align holes in bracket and gauge wheel bar

and insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels should be slightly

off the ground.

• Replace retainer spring into clevis pin.

• Be sure all gauge wheels are in the same setting.

OPERATION

FIG. 11

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing.Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous.Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

• The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until

"FULl" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.

Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a

minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will

increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce

valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure

fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-

tract 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 Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine

has run out of fuel, it wilt take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

• Be surefreewheel control isin the transmission engaged

position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to fast position

• Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempt.

For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may

not be needed.

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, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine still does not start,

pull the choke control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts

to run roughly, pull the choke control out slightly for a

few seconds and then continue to push the control in

slowly.

• 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 (50° F and below)

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push

the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to

accept small changes in speed and load, until the choke

control is fully in. Ifthe engine starts to run roughly, pull

the choke control out slightly for a few seconds and

then continue to push the control in slowly. This may

require an engine warm-up period from several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

OPERATION

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit incold weather, the transmission

should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Place the motion control lever in neutral.

Release the parking brake and let the clutch/

brake slowly return to operating position.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.This

can be done during the engine warm up period.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed

up and may require the choke control be pulled out

slightly.

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 Adjustments

section of this manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-

mended that the transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have de-

veloped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGEDAFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFORE OPERATING

THE TRACTOR.

• Place tractor safely in an area that is flat for approxi-

mately 80 feet in front of the tractor and set the parking

brake.

• Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly dis-

engage clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever to full forward position

and hold for five (5) seconds, or approximately 40 feet.

Slowly move lever to full reverse position and hold for

five (5) seconds, or approximately 20 feet. After the

tractor moves approximately 20 feet in reverse return

the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position.

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-

formance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

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

ming.

• 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 tothe 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. 12).

[

00272

FIG. 12

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the

desired height.

• 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 mow-

ing to assure better mowing performance and proper

discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-

lecting 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.

tenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance

at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted.

(See "TO ADJUST BRAKE"in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressu re inalltires (See"PRODUCT

SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi-

cals which can harm rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and

other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to

slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your

local

parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and

corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are work-

ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,

repair the problem immediately.

• The engine should not start unless the clutch/brake

pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control

is in the disengaged position.

• When the engine isrunning, any attempt bythe operator

to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake

should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the attachment clutch

is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the

seat should shut off the engine.

• The attachment clutch should never operate unless

the operator is in the seat.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 14)

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if

you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An un-

balanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual

damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grind-

ing wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the

mower.

• To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter

steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a

cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with

batancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of

the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

• Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt

or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal

position. If either end of the blade moves downward,

sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO CHECK AND ADJUST BRAKE

(See Fig. 25)

Your tractor is equipped with an adjustable brake system

which is mounted on the right side of the transaxle.

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest

speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved

surface, then brake must be checked and adjusted.

TO CHECK BRAKE

• Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface,

depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and en-

gage parking brake.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end

of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days

or more.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower

is tobe stored for ape riod of time, clean ittho roughly, remove

all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

• Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructionsin the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this

manual.

• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

BATTERY

• 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 dis-

connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

• After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come incontact with battery

terminals.

• If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT ISIMPORTANTTO PREVENTGUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH

LEADSTO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM

OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Empty thefuel tank by starting the engine and let it run

until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• 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 mini-

mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

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 empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-

gine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

• Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

• Turn ignition key to "START" position for a few seconds

to distribute oil.

• Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• 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 not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILE ENGINEAND

EXHAUSTAREAS ARE STILL WARM.
