•
•
•
•
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
WARNING: In order to prevent acci-
dental starting when setting up, trans-
porting, adjusting or making repairs,
always disconnect spark plug wire
and place wire where it cannot contact
spark plug.
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always
look down and behind before and while backing.
Nevercarrychildren.Theymayfalloffandbeseriouslyinjured
or interfere with safe machine operation.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful
care of another responsible adult.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill
in neutral, you may lose control of the
tractor.
•
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
•
•
•
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 comply
withspecificationsofthemanufacturer
of your tractor. Use common sense
when towing. Operate only at the low-
est possible speed when on a slope.
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.

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
ing 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.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 7)
Always operate engine at full throttle.
•
Depress brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position and
hold.
•
Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate.
Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-
mance.

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.

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.
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.
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.
•
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
•
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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission
should be warmed up as follows:
•
•
Be sure the tractor is on level ground.
Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly
return to operating position.
•
Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.This
can be done during the engine warm up period.
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-
up period after the transmission has been warmed
up 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
PURGE TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage
freewheel lever while the engine is run-
ning.
00272
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 de-
veloped 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.
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 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.
•
•
•
Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and
parking brake set.
•
Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control
infreewheelingposition(See“TOTRANSPORT”inthis
section of manual).
•
•
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-
gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.
Disengage parking brake
Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,
hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress
reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five
(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure
three (3) times.
•
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 will disperse into the grass
and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biode-
grade 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, the newly cut area will
not be exposed to direct sunlight.
NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement
of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic
drive system.
•
•
Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
driving position (See“TOTRANSPORT”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.
Disengage parking brake.
Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure
three times.
•
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, re-
duce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.
MOWING TIPS
MAX 1/3
•
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.
•
•
mulcher_9
FIG. 12
•
•
Certaintypesofgrassandgrassconditionsmayrequire
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow
across (perpendicular) to the first cut path.
Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
northtosouthoneweekthenchangetoeasttowestthe
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.
•
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. 11).

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.
