OPERATION  
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can  
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating  
your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision  
safety mask over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.  
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR  
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-  
pletely,asdescribedabove,beforeleav-  
ing the operator's position; to empty  
grass catcher, etc.  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 7)  
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. When  
engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without  
first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.  
•
•
Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position and hold.  
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 7)  
Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position and release pressure from  
clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure  
parking brake will hold tractor secure.  
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 performance.  
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD  
(See Fig. 7)  
The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control  
lever.

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 condi-  
tions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.  
FIG. 7  
STOPPING (See Fig. 7)  
•
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.  
MOWER BLADES -  
Move attachment clutch lever to “DISENGAGED” position.  
GROUND DRIVE -  
•
•
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.  
•
•
Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position.  
Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.  
IMPORTANT:  
THE MOTION CONTROL LEVER DOES NOT RETURN TO  
NEUTRAL (N) POSITION WHEN THE CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.  
ENGINE -  
•
Move throttle control to slow position.  
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and allowing  
engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to “backfire”.  
•
Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key. 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.

it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine.  
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 12)  
•
The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already filled  
with summer weight oil.  
•
•
Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission engaged position.  
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking  
brake.  
•
•
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
Remove oil fill 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.  
•
•
•
Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.  
Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.  
Move throttle control to choke position.  
•
•
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 Responsibilities section in this  
manual.  
Note: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures  
below.  
•
Insertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto“START”positionandrelease  
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.  
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.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
•
•
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast position.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C),  
USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD  
WEATHER STARTING.  
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.  
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 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  
foradditionalinformation. Neveruseengineorcarburetorcleanerproducts  
in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.  
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  
position. This may require an engine warm-up period from several seconds  
to several minutes, depending on the temperature.  
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP  
•
Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission should be warmed  
up as follows:  
•
•
Be sure the tractor is on level ground.  
Place the motion control lever in neutral.  
Release the parking  
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.

•
The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period after  
the transmission has been warmed up.  
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.

MOWING TIPS  
•
•
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor.  
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage  
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See “TO  
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and Adjustments section of this  
manual.  
freewheel lever while the engine is run-  
ning.  
•
•
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 right of the tractor. This will result in a more even distri-  
bution 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.  
10).  
Ifgrassisextremelytall, itshouldbemowedtwicetoreduceloadandpossible  
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 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 discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by  
selecting 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.  
To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended 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 developed 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.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
ACCELERATION TEST -  
ENGINE  
•
Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or  
dies, turn idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test  
and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly.  
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE  
(See Fig. 28)  
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:  
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result.  
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR, WHICH IS

for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does  
need adjustment, proceed as follows:  
In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the sup-  
ply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the idle  
mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel 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 -  
•
Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carburetor when making  
carburetor adjustments.  
•
•
Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above).  
With engine off turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise) closing it finger tight  
and then turn out (counterclockwise) 1 full turn.

FIG. 29  
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.  
•
Move throttle control lever to slow position. 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 in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out (counter-  
clockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between  
those two positions. Release throttle lever.
