•
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn
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.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If 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.
Donotturnonslopesunlessnecessary, andthen, turnslowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
WARNING: Tow only the attachments
that are recommended by and com-
ply with specifications of the manu-
facturer of your tractor. Use common
sense when towing. Operate only at
the lowest possible speed when on a
slope. Too heavy of a load, while on

during hot months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
•
Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY
POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY
TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).
•
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
TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)
MENTS
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.
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-
tor. Use common sense when towing.Too heavy of a load,
while on a slope, is dangerous.Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
•
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 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.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
•
The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the
factory, already filled with summer weight oil.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
procedures below.
•
•
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.
•
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, push choke control in, wait a
few minutes and try again.If engine still does not start,
pull the choke control out and retry.
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
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.
ADD GASOLINE
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.
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.
•
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.

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
acceptsmallchangesinspeedandload,untilthechoke
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
requireanenginewarm-upperiodfromseveralseconds
to several minutes, depending on the temperature.
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
STARTING.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-
tract 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. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-
up period 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
MOWING TIPS
•
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 tractor. 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. 10).
FIG. 10
•
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 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.
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used.

TRACTOR
•
•
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.
Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower

all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.
•
•
•
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual).
•
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-
placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
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 drain
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
•
•
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
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
•
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.
CYLINDER(S)
•
•
Remove spark plug(s).
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).
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals.
•
•
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 battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.
•
•
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.
