can result in severe injury or death, All

slopes require extra caution° if you cannot

back up the slope or if you feet uneasy on

it, do not mow it

DO:

o Mow up and down slopes, not across.

o Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.,

o Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine° Tall

types of grass being mowed.

o The average lawn should be cut to

approximately 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.

= Forbest cuttingperformance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the first cut relative-

ly high; the second to desired height.

BEFORE STARTnNG THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

° The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil.

o Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

o Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe

clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw

cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oi! level. If necessary,

add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is

reached. Do not ovedill.

For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See "OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Mainten-

ance section of this manual).

o To change engine oil, see the Maintem

ance 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 iife)o 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 tempera-

tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

,_dwAWeatherstarting.

RNING: 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. "1oavoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emp-

tied before storage 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 Instructions for additional

information° Never use engine or carbure-

tor cleaner products in the fuel tank or per-

nent damage may occur.,

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,.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time

or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

o Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

o Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) posi-

tion.

o Move attachment clutch to "DISEN-

GAGED" position°

o Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm

and cold starting procedures below.

o Insert key into ignition and turn key

clockwise to "START" position and

release key as soon as engine starts..

Do not run starter continuously for more

than fifteen seconds per minute,. If the

engine does not start after several

attempts, move throttle control to fast

position, wait a few 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 ° F

AND ABOVE)

o When engine starts, move the throttle

control to the fast position.

o 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)

o When engine starts, allow engine to run

with the throttle control in the choke

position until the engine runs roughly,

then move throttle control to fast posi-

tion_ This may require an engine warm-

up period from several seconds to sev-

eral minutes, depending on the temper-

ature.

o The attachments can also be used dur-

ing 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,

MOWIING TIIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

o Mower should be properly leveled for

best mowing performance° See 'qO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

o The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming°

o 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 distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform cut-

ting,

o When mowing large areas, start by turn-,

ing to the right so that clippings will dis-

charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-

ways, etco After one or two rounds,

mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished

o tf grass 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°

o Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave unde-

sirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing_

o Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material, Regulate ground speed by se-

lecting a low enough gear to give the

mower the best cutting performance as

well as the quality of cut desired.

o When operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the at-

tachment being used_

MULCHINGMOWINGTIPS

IMPORTANT; For best perfomlance,

keep mower housing free of built-up grass

and trash. Clean after each use.

o The special mulching blade will recut

the grass clippings 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 blade&

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet°

Wet grass tends to form clumps and

interferes with the mulching action. The

best time to mow your lawn is the early

aftemoono At this time the grass has

dried and the newly cut area will not be

exposed to the direct sun.

o For best results, adjust the mower cut-

ting height so that the mower cuts off

only the top one-third of the grass

blades° For' extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass

and mow stowly.

Max 1/3

o Certain types of grass and grass condi-

tions may require that an area be

mulched a second time to completely

hide the clippings, When doing a sec-

ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to

the first cut path.

o Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next

week. This will help prevent matting

and graining of the lawno

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening

blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is

balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause

excessive vibration and eventual damage

to mower and engine.

° The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt

to sharpen while it is on the mower.

o To check blade balance, you will need a

5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone

balancer. (When using a cone balancer,

follow the instructions supplied with bal-

ancer).

• Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion

of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt

or pin parallel with the ground. If blade

is balanced, it should remain in a hori-

zontal positiorL If either end of the blade

moves downward, sharpen the heavy

end until the blade is balanced.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is

low emission, it is equipped with an idle

fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,

which allows some adjustment within the

limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt

to remove the limiter cap° The limiter cap

cannot be removed without breaking the

adjusting needle.

The carburetor has been preset at the fac-

tory and adjustment should not be neces-

san/. However, minor adjustment may be

required to compensate for differences in

fuel, temperature, altitude or toad. if the

carburetor does need adjustment, proceed

as follows:

In general, turning idle mixture valve in

(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to

the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture.

Turning the idle mixture valve out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of

fuet to the engine giving a richer'fuel/air

mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve

and the seat in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

o Air cleaner assembly must be assem-

bled to the carburetor when making car-

buretor adjustments.

= Be sure the throttle control cable is

adjusted properly (see above).

FINAL SETTING -

o Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion control

lever in neutral (N) position.

o Move throttle control lever to slow posi-

tion. With finger, rotate and hold throttle

lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle

speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.

• While still holding throttle lever against

idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve

full travel clockwise then counterclock-

wise until engine runs rough. Turn valve

to a point midway between those two

positions. Release throttle lever'.ACCEL-

ERATION TEST-

• Move throttle control lever from stow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,

turn idle mixture valve out (counter-

clockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until

engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust--damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

proper engine speed, overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed set-

ting can be dangerous, if you think the

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest authorized

service center, which has proper equip-

ment to make any necessary adjustments.

• Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

o Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual)°

o Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

° Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

° Touch up all rusted or chipped paint sur-

faces; sand lightly before 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 "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

,, After cleaning, leave cables disconnect-

ed and place cables where they cannot

come in contact with battery terminals.

o If battery is removed from tractor for

storage, do not store battery directly on

concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: tt 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.

o 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 of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta-

bilizer 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 carbure-

tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure-

tor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDERS

o Remove spark plug(s).

o Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

o 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 it starts to

rusL Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline

will cause problems.

o If possible, store your tractor indoors

and cover it to give protection from dust

and dirt.

° Cover your tractor with a suitable pro-

tective cover that does not retain mois-

ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot

breathe, which allows condensation to

form and cause your tractor to rust.

fMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
