SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
GENERAL SERVICE  
III. CHILDREN  
•
Never operate machine in a closed are.  
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.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have  
to stop or shift while on 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.  
•
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the  
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.  
•
•
•
•
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-  
ately.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten  
securely.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

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.

pletely,asdescribedabove,beforeleav-  
ing the operator's position; to empty  
grass catcher, etc.  
•
Depress brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position and  
hold.  
•
Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position  
and release pressure from brake pedal. Pedal should  
remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake  
will hold tractor secure.  
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)  
Always operate engine at full throttle.

OPERATION  
NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting  
your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed  
and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying  
hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol  
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-  
ture 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  
for additional information. Never use engine or  
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or  
permanent damage may occur.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-  
MENTS  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
•
•
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)  
•
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

OPERATION  
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP  
MOWING TIPS  
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission  
should be warmed up as follows:  
•
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.  
•
•
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.  
•
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).  
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 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.  
00272  
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.

oil change if the tractor is used more than 100 hours in  
one year.  
FIG. 17  
CLEANING  
•
•
•
Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign  
matter.  
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,  
oil, etc.  
MUFFLER  
Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester  
(if equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or dam-  
age.  
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.  
SPARK PLUGS  
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure  
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-  
mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or  
transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use  
compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves  
and trash from tractor and mower.  
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing  
season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever  
occurs first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in  
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.

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.
