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. If the engine starts to run
roughly, pull the choke control out slight-
ly for a few seconds and then continue
to push the control in slowly, This may
require an engine warm-up pedod from
several seconds to several minutes,
depending on the temperature.
• The attachments can be used dudng
the engine warm-up pedod and may
require the choke control be pulled out
slightly.
NOTE: 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 used when the
mower housing isattached 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 trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
the cut area to the dght of the tractor.
This will resultin a more even distribu-
tionof clippingsand more uniformcut-
ting.
• When mowing large areas, start by turn-
ing tothe dght so that clippingswill dis-
charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-
ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left
hand tums untilfinished.
• Ifgrass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possi-
ble fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high;the second
to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass willplug mower and leave unde-
sirable 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 se-
lectinga low enough gear to give the
mower the best cutting performance as
well as the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments, select a
groundspeed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
