WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and
above)
7. When engine starts, slowly push
choke control in until the engine
begins to runsmoothly. If the engine
starts to run roughly, pull the choke
control out slightly lor a few seconds
and then continue to push the control
in slowly.
• The attachments and ground drive can
now be used. Ifthe engine does not
accept the load, restart the engine and
allow it to warm up for one minute
using the choke as descdbed above.
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and
below)
7. When engine starts, slowlypush
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, untilthe
choke control is fully in. If the engine
startsto 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.
• The attachments can be used during
the engine warm-up pedod 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.
MOWING TIPS
• Tire chains cannot be usedwhen the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section ofthis
manual.
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Ddve so that clippingsare discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
the cut area tothe rightof the tractor,
This will result in a more even distribu-
tion of clippings and more uniform
cutting.
• When mowing large areas, start by
turningto the dght so that clippingswill
discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two
rounds, mow in the opposite direction
making left hand turns untilfinished.
• If grass isextremely tail, itshould be
mowed twice to reduce load and
possiblefire hazard from dried clip-
pings. Make firstcut relativelyhigh; the
second to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it iswet. 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.
