SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
GENERAL SERVICE  
III. CHILDREN  
•
Never operate machine in a closed area.  
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.  
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have  
to stop or shift while on the slope.  
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the  
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down 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.  
•
•
•
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,  
shift into reverse and back down slowly.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.  
•
•
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-  
ately.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten  
securely.

cutting height.  
TO OPERATE MOWER  
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 clutch engaged  
will shut off the engine.You must remain fully and centrally  
positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitating  
or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,  
rolling terrain or hills.

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with  
theenginenotrunning. Theseheightsareapproximateand  
may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass  
and types of grass being mowed.  
S
•
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.

•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use  
fresh,clean,regularunleadedgasolinewithaminimumof  
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.  
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP  
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather, thetransmission  
should be warmed up as follows:  
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store,spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
•
•
Be sure the tractor is on level ground.  
Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly  
return to operating position.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.  
•
Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.This  
can be done during the engine warm up period.  
•
The attachments can also be used during the engine  
warm-upperiodafterthetransmissionhasbeenwarmed  
up.  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or  
usingethanolormethanol)canattractmoisturewhich  
leads to separation and formation of acids during  
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of  
anenginewhileinstorage.Toavoidengineproblems,  
the fuel system should be emptied before storage  
of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the  
engineandletitrununtilthefuellinesandcarburetor  
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.  
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.  
PURGE TRANSMISSION  
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage  
freewheel lever while the engine is run-  
ning.  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)  
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.  
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.

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.  
FIG. 12  
•
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.  
•
•
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. 12).

•
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.  
•
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).  
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.  
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.  
•
•
•
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  
CYLINDER(S)  
•
•
Fully charge the battery for storage.  
•
•
Remove spark plug(s).  
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into  
cylinder(s).  
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 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.

trunk or other upright structure.  
3. Sight across the fold in the direction of hill slope you want to measure.
