Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
GENERAL SERVICE  
III. CHILDREN  
•
Never operate machine in a closed are.  
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment  
is in safe working 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 and remove any fuel-  
soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.  
If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the  
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.  
Nevermakeanyadjustmentsorrepairswiththeengine  
running.  
Check grass catcher components and the discharge  
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec-  
ommended parts, when necessary.  
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.  
•

•
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven  
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing  
area for another ride and be run over or backed over  
by the machine.  
Never allow children to operate the machine.  
Useextracarewhenapproachingblindcorners,shrubs,  
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a  
child.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear  
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service  
as required.  
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as  
necessary.  
•
•
IV. TOWING  
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for  
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the  
hitch point.  
•
•
•
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight  
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.  
Never allow children or others in or on towed equip-  
ment.  
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may  
cause loss of traction and loss of control.  
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.  
•
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-  
ing. 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 back-  
ing.

V. SERVICE  
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE  
•
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven  
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing  
area for another ride and be run over or backed over  
by the machine.  
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have  
to stop or shift while on the slope.  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme  
care in handling gasoline.Gasoline is extremely flammable  
and the vapors are explosive.  
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other  
sources of ignition.  
•
•
•
•
•
Use only approved gasoline container.  
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine run-  
ning. Allow engine to cool before refueling.  
Never fuel the machine indoors.  
Never store the machine or fuel container where there  
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water  
heater or other appliances.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or  
trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers  
on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.  
Removegas-poweredequipmentfromthetruckortrailer  
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then  
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather  
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank  
orcontaineropeningatalltimesuntilfuelingiscomplete.  
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
•
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the  
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,  
shift into reverse and back down slowly.  
•
•
•
•
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-  
ately.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten  
securely.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

MOWING TIPS  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

is attached to tractor.  
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which  
leads to separation and formation of acids during stor-  
age. Acidicgascandamagethefuelsystemofanengine  
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel  
system should be emptied 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 carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage  
may occur.  
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-  
formance. 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 will result in a more even distribution of  
clippings and more uniform cutting.  
•
Whenmowinglargeareas,startbyturningtotherightso  
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. 7 ).  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)  
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.  
•
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake  
pedal and set parking brake.  
•
•
•
Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.  
Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.  
Move throttle control to choke position.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
•
Insertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto“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.  
00272  
FIG. 7  
•
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.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
•
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the  
fast position.  
•
•
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 mow-  
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper  
discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-  
lecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting  
performance as well as the quality of cut desired.  
•
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, 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 several minutes, depending on the  
temperature.  
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed  
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of  
the attachment being used.  
•
The attachments can also be used during 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 “TO  
ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments  
section of this manual.

TRACTOR  
•
•
•
Empty the fuel tank by starting 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.  
Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower  
istobestoredforaperiodoftime,cleanitthoroughly,remove  
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.  
•
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-  
mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.  
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 empty  
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
•
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 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.  
ENGINE OIL  
•
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-  
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of  
this manual).  
BATTERY  
CYLINDER(S)  
•
•
Fully charge the battery for storage.  
•
•
Remove spark plug(s).  
After a period of time in storage, battery may require  
recharging.  
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into  
cylinder(s).  
•
To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during  
long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis-  
connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO  
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
•
•
Turn ignition key to “START”position for a few seconds  
to distribute oil.  
Replace with new spark plug(s).  
•
•
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place  
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery  
terminals.  
If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not  
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.  
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: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILEENGINE AND  
EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
