SAFETY RULESSafe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers ,_

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 OPERATION

Read, understand, and follow all instructionsin 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 isclear of otherpeople before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area,

Never carry passengers.

Do notmow in reveree unless absolutely necessary. Always

look down and behind before and while backing.

Be aware ofthe 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 turnoff

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 crossingroadways.

Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into

a trailer or truck.

II. SLOPEOPERA_ON

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 ifyou 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. Ta/I grass can hide obstac/es.

Use slowsbeed. Choose a low gear so thatyou will nothave

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 s/owand 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 downthe

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 puttingyour foot on the

ground.

Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

IlL 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 childrenout ofthe mowing area and under the watchful

care ofanother responsible adult.

• Be alert and tum machine off if children enter the area.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small

children.

Never carry children. They may tall off and be sedeusly

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Use extra care when approaching blind comers, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

Useextra care in handlinggasoline 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 isan open flame, such as a water heater.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

Keep nutsand bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight

and keep equipment in good condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regulady.

Keep machinefree 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 repairswith the engine running.

Grass catcher components are subject towear, damage, and

detedoration, which could expose moving parts or allow

objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and

replace withmanufacturer'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.

• Move attachment clutch lever to "DISENGAGED" po-

sition.

GROUNODRIVE-

Depress clutch/brake pedal into full "BRAKE" position.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) position.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow (.al.) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow (,,ab)

position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may

cause engine to "backfire".

Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

Never use choke to stop engine.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate th_s possibility,

always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletsly, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 9)

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 MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 9)

The directionand speed of movement iscontrolled bythe

gearshift lever.

Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal depressed and

gearshift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move gearshift lever to desired position.

Slowlyrelease clutch/brake pedal to start movement.

IMPORTANT: BRING TRACTOR TO A COMPLETE STOP

TO ADJUST MOWER CU'I-I'ING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height

adjustment knob in desired direction.

Turn knob clockwise (F_) to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (P_,) to lower cutting

height.

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 toapproximately 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.

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with attacl

ment lift control.

• When pushing ortowing your tractor, be sure gearsh

lever is in neutral (N) position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than five (5) MPI-

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transportir_

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed ar

securedtotractor. Useanappropriate meansof tying hoc

to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 15)

• Theengine in yourtractor has been shipped, from th

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oilwith tractor on level ground.

• Remove oilfill cap/dipstickand wipe clean, reinsert th

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few second:

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil un'

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

For cold weather operation you should change oil f(

easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in th

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibil

ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleade

gasolinewitha minimum of87 octane. (Use of leade

gasolinewill increase carbon and lead oxide deposil

and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasolim

Purchase fuel in quantitiesthat can be used within 3

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURE

BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRAD

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHE

STARTING.

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blende

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) ca

attractmoisture whichleadsto separation and formation,

acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fu

system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engir

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before sto

age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start tr

engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor a

empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instra

tions for additional information. Never use engine ,

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permane

damage may occur.

I & CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

OPERATION

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 9)

When starting the engine for the firsttime or ifthe engine

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

fuel from the tank to the engine.

Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

Move throttle control to choke (N) position.

Note: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

Insert key intoignition and turn keyclockwise to"START'

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen sec-

onds per minute. If the engine does not start after

several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,t_)

position, wait afew minutes and try again. Ifengine still

does not start, move the throttle control back to the

choke (l"J) position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, move thethrottle control tothe fast

(,_) position.

The attachments and ground ddve can now be used. If

the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine

and allow itto warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)

• When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle

control in the choke (\1) position until the engine runs

roughly, then move thrott e contro to fast (,_) position.

This may require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

temperature.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine

warm-up period.

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 'q'O

ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chainscannot be used when 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 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, startby turning to the dght

so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,

fences, ddveways, etc. After one ortwo rounds, mow

in the opposite direction making left hand turns until

finished (See Fig. 11).

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

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dded 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 grassto

dry 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

performance as well as the quality of cut desired.

When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that willsuit the terrain and give best performance of

the attachment being used.

FIG, 11

OPERATION

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP

MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND

TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

The special mulching blade will recut the grass clip-

pings many times and reduce them in size so that as

they fall onto the lawn they will-disperse into the grass

and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will

biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.

Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed

as this will provide the best recutting action of the

blades.

• Avoid cuttingyour lawn when itiswet. Wet grass tends

to form clumpsand interfereswith themulching action.

The besttime to mow your lawn isthe eady afternoon.

At thistime the grass has ddedand the newly cut area

will not be exposed to the direct sun.

• For best results,adjustthemower cuttingheightsothat

the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass

blades (See Fig. 12). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduceyourwidthofcuton each passand mow slowly.

MAX 1/3

FIG. 12

Certain types of grass and grass conditions may re-

quire that an area be mulched a second time to com-

pletely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut,

mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.

Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow

north to south one week then change toeast to west the

next week. This will help prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

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.

CAUTION: 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 to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor-

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

clean, dry 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 Responsibilities

section of this manual.

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

fastened. Inspect moving parts fordamage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightlybefore 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

disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see 'q'O

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Cus-

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

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 not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.
