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 isclearof other people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

Never carry passengers.

Do notmow in reverse 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 tumiog.

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 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 orcrossing roadways.

Use extra care when Ioad(ng or unloading the machine into

a traiter or truck.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

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

tipover accidents, whichcan resultinsevere injuryor death.

All slopes require extra caution. Ifyou cannot back up the

slope or if you feet 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

ovedum the machine. Taffgrass can hide obstac/es.

•Use slow speed. Cheese a low gear so that you willnot 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. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Donottumonslopesunlessnecessary, andthen,tumslowiy

and gradually downhill, if possible.

•Do notmow 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 tryto stabilize the machine by putting yourfoot onthe

ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

lU. 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.

pletely, 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 fullthrottle.

•Operating engin_ at less than fullthrottle reduces the

battery charging rate.

The cuttingheightrange isapproximately 1-1/2" to4". The

heights are measured from the ground tothe 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 shoukfbecuttoapproximately 2-1/2

inches during the cool season and t6 over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and better looking

lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

For best cutting performance, grass over 6inches in

height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 10) TO OPERATE ON HILLS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the 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 withtram:toton a flat level surface.

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

JUST MOWER CU'['[ING HEIGHT'in the Operation

section of this manual).

FIG, 12

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your

tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a

load, whileon a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction

with the ground and cause you to lose controt of your

tractor,

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)

•The engine inyour tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer weight eil.

Check engine oil with tractor o.nlevel ground.

• Remove oil filt 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

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibili-

ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• 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 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. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor-

age 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 Instruc-

tions for additional information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 9)

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

has ru'_out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en-

gaged 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 controlto 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 ignitionand turn key clockwise to"STARI"

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, push choke control in, wait a few

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

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. 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. This may require an engine warm-up period

from several seconds to several minutes, depending

on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmis-

sion 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.

OPERATION

PURGE TRANSMISSION

I _ CAUTION: Neverengageordisengage I

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, itis recom-

mended that the transmfSsion be'purged before operating

tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel-

oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION

REQUIRE REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR

REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER

REINSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING THE

TRACTOR.

• Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parking brake set....

•Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT' in

this section of manual).

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

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutclVbrake pedal.

• Move motion control lever to full forward position and

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 will be no movement of

drive wheels. The air isbeing removed from hydraulic drive

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 "TO TRANSPORT' in this section

of manual).

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

is running, 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 control lever 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

•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 wit( result in a more even distribution of

clippings and more uniform cutting.

When mowing large areas, start by turning to the 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. 13 ).

• 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 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 dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select-

ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting

performance as welt 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.

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during 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 adding

stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor, Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

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

oil. (See =ENGINE" in the Customer 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 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: NEVER COVER TRACT(_R WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
