SAFETY RULES

Safe 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 instructions in 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 is clear of other people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always

look down and behind before and while backing.

• Be aware of the 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 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 or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into

a trailer or truck.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

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 if you 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. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not 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:

• 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 putting your foot on the

ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

III. 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.

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline 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 is an open flame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight

and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

• Keep machine free 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 repairs with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and

deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow

objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and

replace with manufacturer'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.

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 this possibility,

always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

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 USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

(See Fig. 8)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height adjust-

ment knob in desired direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (_) to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (t__) 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 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.

• 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.

OPERATION

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 9)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with

the engine running and the attachment clutchengaged will

shut off the engine.

FIG. 10

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)

• The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer weight oi!.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Remove oil fill cap!dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and push it all the way down into the tube, 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.

OPERATION

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

BELOW32°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.

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 (See Fig. 8)

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

out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

• Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Pull choke control out to choke (IX!) position for cold

engine start. For warm engine start do not use choke

control.

• Move throttle control to midway between fast (,_) and

slow (,_) positions.

• 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 engine does not start after

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

position, wait a few minutes and try again.

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in.

• Move throttle control to fast (,_) position.

• Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before

engaging drive or attachments.

IMPORTANT: COLD STARTING FOR HYDRO (BELOW

40°F) AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND BEFORE

DRIVING, LET TRANSMISSION WARM UP FOR ONE (1)

MINUTE BY PLACING MOTION CONTROL LEVER IN

NEUTRAL (N) POSITION AND RELEASING CLUTCH/

BRAKE PEDAL.

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 Adjust-

ments section of this manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

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 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 in thetractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to slow (,_I) position.

With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake 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 is being 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 in the 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.

OPERATION

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See'q'O 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, 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. 11 ).

• 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 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 well 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.

(

FIG. 11

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 wil! 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 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 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. 12). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

• 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 to east to west the

next week. This will help prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

FIG. 13

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 14)

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An

unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even-

tual damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding

wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

• 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 on to 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 horizontal

position. If either end of the blade moves downward,

sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE

(See Fig. 33 and 34)

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and

adjustment should not be necessary. Check adjustment as

described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is

necessary, proceed as follows:

• With engine not running, move throttle control lever to

fast (,_) position.

• Check that speed control lever is against stop screw. If

it is not, loosen casing clamp screw and pull throttle

cable until lever is against screw. Tighten clamp screw

securely.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 35)

The carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,

temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)

decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner

fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (coun-

terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine

giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

• Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle

control cable is adjusted properly (see above).

• With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clock-

wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter-

clockwise) 1-1/4 turns.

• Turn main fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) closing

finger tight and then turn out (counterclockwise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

• Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make

final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion

control lever in neutral (N) position.

• With throttle control lever in fast (,_) position, turn main

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) until engine begins

to die then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine

runs rough. Turn needle to a point midway between

those two positions.

• Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow

(._) position, engine should idle at 1400 RPM. If

engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

• Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in

slow (-a_) position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in

(clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out

(counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle

to a point midway between those two positions.

• Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

• Move throttle control lever from stow (._) to fast (,_)

position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture

screw out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine acceler-

ates 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 SETTING CAN BE

DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED

HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

STORAGE

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 "CLEAN ING" 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 for damage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; 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 '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.

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 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).

CYLINDERS

• 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 TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
