pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTrLE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Always operate engine at fullthrottle.

•Operating engine at lessthan fullthrottle reduces the

battery charging rate.

•Full throttle offers the bestbagging and mower perfor-

mance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See

•Turn knob counterclockwise (P'_) to lower cutting

height.

The cutting height range isapproximately 1-1/2" to4". The

heights are measured fromthe groundtothe blade tip with

the engine not running. These heightsare approximate and

may vary depending upon soilconditions, height of grass

and types ofgrass being mowed.

•The average lawn shouldbe cuttoapproximately 2-1/2

inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches

dudng hot months. For healthier and better looking

lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

•For best cuttingperforrnance, grass over 6 inches in

height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second todesired height.

OPERATION

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)

Gauge wheels are propedy adjusted when they are slightly

offthe ground when mower isat the desired cutting height in

operating position, Gauge wheels then keep the deck in

proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

•Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

•Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See '_ro AD-

JUST MOWER CUI-I-ING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge

wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the

ground, install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with

•Fill fuel tank. 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

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

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

WARNING: Experience indicatesthatalcoholblended 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 storageof 30 days or

longer. Drain the gastank, starttheengine and letitrununtil

the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. See Storage Instructionsfor additionalinformation.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner productsinthe fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank I

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any I

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)

When starting the engine forthefirstUmeor ifthe engine has

run out of fuel, it willtake extra crankingtime to move fuel

from the tank to the engine.

• Besure freewheelcontrolisin thetransmissionengaged

position.

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

pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion controllever in neutral (N) position.

• Move attachment clutchto "DISENGAGED" position,

•Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

Insertkey into ignition and turnkey clockwise to "START"

position and release key as soonas engine starts. Do not

run starter continuously for more than fifteen seconds per

minute. If the engine does not start after several at-

tempts, move throttle controlto fast position, wait afew

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° Fand 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 towarm 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

controlinthechokepositionuntiltheengine runsroughly,

then move throttle control to fast position. This may

requirean engine warm-up periodfrom several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before drivingthe unitincoldweather, the transmission

should bewarmed up as follows:

•Be sure the tractoris on level ground.

•Place the motioncontrol lever in neutral, Release

the parking brake and let the clutch/brake

slowly returntooperating position.

•Allow one minute for transmission towarm up. This

can be doneduringthe engine warm up period.

•The attachments can also be used during the engine

warm-up period afterthe transmission has been warmed

up.

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

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

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 devel-

oped duringshipping ofyour tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT

SHOULD BEPURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE

OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

•Place tractor safelyonlevel surface with engine offand

parking brake set.

•Disengage transmissionby placingfreewheel control in

freewheeling position(See "TO TRANSPORT" in this

section of manual).

•Sitting in thetractorseat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

OPERATION

•Move motion control lever to full forward positionand

hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this procedure there willbe no movement of

ddve wheels, The air is being removed from hydraulic ddve

system.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-

off engine and set parking brake.

• Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

driving position (See "ro TRANSPORT" in this section

ofmanual).

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

isrunning, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal,

• Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion controllever to reverse position. After the tractor

moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion

control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this

procedure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

• Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing

performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

The left hand side ofmower should be used fortrimming.

• Drive sothat clippings are discharged onto the areathat

has been cut. Have the cut area to the dght 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 rightso

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. 10).

• 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 andleave undesirable clumps. AIIowgrasstodry

before mowing.

•Always operate engine at fullthrottle when mowing

to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge ofmaterial. Regulate ground speed byselecting

a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-

mance as well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select aground speed

thatwillsuittheterrain and give best performance ofthe

attachment being used,

(

FIG. 10

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 clippings

many times and reduce them in size sothat 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 nutdents for the lawn. Always mulch

with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will

provide the best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when itis wet. Wet grass tends

to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.

The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.

At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area

will not be exposed to the direct sun,

•For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that

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

blades (See Fig. 11). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width ofcut on each pass and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conditionsmay require

that an area be mulched a second time to completely

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 to east to west the

next week, This willhelp prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

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 LEADS

TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL

SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

•Drain the fuel tank.

•Start 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

minimizing the formation offuel gum deposits dudng 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 addir_g

stabilizer to allow thestabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tankand carburetor ifusingfuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (withengine warm)and replacewithclean engine oil.

(See "ENGINE" intheCustomer Responsibilities section of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

•Remove spark plug(s).

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

cylinder(s).

•Turn ignitionkey to"START' positionfora few seconds

to distribute oil.

•Replace with new sparkplug(s).

OTHER

•Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

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

Rust and/or dirtinyour gasoline willcause problems.

•Ifpossible, storeyourtractorindoorsand cover ittogive

protection from dustand dirt.

•Cover your tractor witha suitable protective cover that
