SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
III. CHILDREN
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.
GENERAL SERVICE
•
Never operate machine in a closed area.
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition.
•
•
•
•
•
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
•
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Cleanoilorfuelspillageandremoveanyfuel-
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.
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
equipment.
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.
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.
V. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
careinhandlinggasoline. Gasolineisextremelyflammable
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
running. 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.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer 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.
Keepthenozzleincontactwiththerimofthefueltankor
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-
ately.
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
•

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 spectacles or standard safety glasses.
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY
POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY
TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 14)
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing
idlewiththeenginerunning, hotengineexhaustgasesmay
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
complywithspecificationsofthemanufacturerofyourtrac-
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.

MOWING TIPS
•
•
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing
is attached to tractor.
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing
performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage
freewheelleverwhiletheengineisrunning.
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 devel-
oped during shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE
REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD
BEPURGEDAFTERREINSTALLATIONBEFOREOPERATING
THE TRACTOR.
•
•
Thelefthandsideofmowershouldbeusedfortrimming.
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.
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. 24).
•
1. Place tractor safely on a level surface - that is clear
and open - with engine off and parking brake set.
2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control
in disengaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this
section of manual).
3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-
gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.
Disengage parking brake.
CAUTION: Atanytime,duringstep4,there
may be movement of the drive wheels.
4. 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.
Fig. 24
5. Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
•
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 ensure 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.
6. Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this sec-
tion of manual).
7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.
Disengage parking brake.
8. Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure
three times.
•
•
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BATTERY
(See Fig. 38)
TO CHECK BRAKE
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest
speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved
surface, then brake must be serviced.
WARNING: Lead-acid batteries gen-
erate explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flameandsmokingmaterialsawayfrom
batteries. Always wear eye protection
when around batteries.
You may also check brake by:
•
Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface,
depress brake pedal all the way down and engage
parking brake.
Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control
in “transmission disengaged” position. Pull freewheel
control out and into the slot and release so it is held in
the disengaged position.
•
If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the MAINTENANCE sec-
tion of this manual).
If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting, follow
this procedure:
IMPORTANT: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12
VOLT SYSTEM. THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12
VOLT SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR BATTERY TO
START OTHER VEHICLES.
The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manu-
ally push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then
the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a qualified service
center.
TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER
•
Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE
(+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to
short against tractor chassis.
Your new tractor front wheel toe-in and camber is set at the
factory and is normal. The front wheel toe-in and camber
are not adjustable. If damage has occurred to affect the
factory set front wheel toe-in or camber, contact a qualified
service center.

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.
Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When
mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor-
oughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
Use fresh fuel next season.
•
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 empty
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.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
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).
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 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.
If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.
•
•
IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been ob-
tained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be low-
er and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both
the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to op-
erating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power
equipment (actual “on-site” or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not lim-
