• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,  
or embankments. The mower could  
suddenly turn over if a wheel is over  
the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge  
caves in.  
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced  
traction could cause sliding.  
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by  
putting your foot on the ground.  
• Do not use grass catcher on steep  
slopes.  
- Use only an approved container.  
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel  
with the engine running. Allow  
engine to cool before refueling. Do  
not smoke.  
- Never refuel the machine indoors.  
- Never store the machine or fuel  
container inside where there is an  
open flame, such as a water heater.  
• Never run a machine inside a closed  
area.  
• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade  
attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-  
ment in good 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. Allow machine to cool before  
storing.  
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you  
strike an object. Repair, if necessary,  
before restarting.  
• Never make adjustments or repairs with  
the engine running.  
• Grass catcher components are subject  
to wear, damage, and deterioration,  
which could expose moving parts or  
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently  
check components and replace with  
manufacturer's recommended parts,  
when necessary.  
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut.  
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and  
use extra caution when servicing them.  
• Check brake operation frequently. Ad-  
just and service as required.  
III. CHILDREN  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator  
is not alert to the presence of children.  
Children are often attracted to the ma-  
chine and the mowing activity. Never as-  
sume that children will remain where you  
last saw them.  
• Keep children out of the mowing area  
and under the watchful care of another  
responsible adult.  
• Be alert and turn machine off if children  
enter the area.  
• Before and when backing, look behind  
and down for small children.  
• Never carry children. They may fall off  
and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safe machine operation.  
• Never allow children to operate the  
machine.  
• Use extra care when approaching blind  
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects  
that may obscure vision.  
IV. SERVICE  
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and  
other fuels. They are flammable and  
vapors are explosive.  
• 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.  
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven  
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall  
grass can hide obstacles.  
• Be sure the area is clear of other people  
before mowing. Stop machine if anyone  
enters the area.  
• Never carry passengers or children  
even with the blades off.  
• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-  
lutely necessary. Always look down and  
behind before and while backing.  
• Never carry children. They may fall off  
and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safe machine operation.  
• Keep children out of the mowing area  
and under the watchful care of another  
responsible adult.  
• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear  
so that you will not have to stop or shift  
while on the slope.

HOW TO USEYOUR TRACTOR  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE  
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch  
in any position other than "STOP" will  
cause the battery to discharge and go  
dead.  
Your tractor is equipped with an operator  
presence sensing 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.  
1. Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way  
down and hold.  
NOTE: Under certain conditions when  
tractor is standing idle with the engine  
running, hot engine exhaust gases may  
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate  
this possibility, always stop engine when  
stopping tractor on grass areas.  
2. Pull parking brake lever up and  
release pressure from clutch/brake  
pedal. Pedal should remain in brake  
position. Make sure parking brake will  
hold tractor secure.  
CAUTION: Always stop tractor  
completely, as described above, before  
leaving the operator's position.

MOWER BLADES -  
• To stop mower blades, move at-  
tachment clutch lever to disengaged  
position.  
IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete  
stop before shifting or changing gears.  
Failure to do so will shorten the useful life  
of your transaxle.  
GROUND DRIVE -  
• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/  
brake pedal all the way down.  
• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N)  
position.  
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT  
The position of the attachment lift lever  
determines the cutting height.  
• Grasp lift lever.  
• Press plunger with thumb and move  
lever to desired position.  
ENGINE -  
• Move throttle control to slow position.  
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control  
to slow position to allow engine to idle  
before stopping may cause engine to  
“backfire”.  
• Turn ignition key to “STOP” position and  
remove key. Always remove key when  
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized  
use.  
The cutting height range is approxi-  
mately 1-1/2 to 4". The heights are  
measured from the ground to the blade  
tip with the engine not running. These  
heights are approximate and may vary  
depending upon soil conditions, height of  
grass and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to ap-  
proximately 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.  
• If slowing is necessary, move throttle  
control lever to slower position.  
• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push  
clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake posi-  
tion and engage parking brake.  
• Move gearshift lever to 1st gear. Be  
sure you have allowed room for tractor  
to roll slightly as you restart movement.  
• To restart movement, slowly release  
parking brake and clutch/brake pedal.  
• Make all turns slowly.  
TO OPERATE MOWER  
TO TRANSPORT  
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 equip-  
ment on rough, rolling terrain or hills.  
1. Select desired height of cut.  
2. Start mower blades by engaging at-  
tachment clutch control.  
TO STOP MOWER BLADES -  
disengage attachment clutch control.  
• Raise attachment lift to highest position  
with attachment lift control.  
• When pushing or towing your tractor,  
be sure gearshift lever is in neutral (N)  
position.  
• Do not push or tow tractor at more than  
five (5) MPH.  
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.).

and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil  
with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan-  
tities that can be used within 30 days to  
assure fuel freshness.  
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
IMPORTANT: When operating in temper-  
atures 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  
attract moisture which leads to separa-  
tion 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.  
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.  
1. Sit on seat in operating position,  
depress clutch/brake pedal and set  
parking brake.  
2. Place gear shift lever in neutral (N)  
position.  
3. Move attachment clutch to disengaged  
position.  
4. Move throttle control to choke position.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm  
and cold starting procedures below.  
5. 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, move throttle control to fast  
position, wait a few minutes and try  
again. If engine still does not start,  
move the throttle control back to the  
choke position and retry.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and  
above)  
6. When engine starts, move the throttle  
control to the fast position.  
• 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.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and  
below)  
6. When engine starts, leave throttle  
control in choke position until engine  
warms up and begins to run roughly.  
Once rough running begins, imme-  
diately move the throttle control to the  
fast position. Engine warm-up may  
take from several seconds to several  
minutes (the colder the temperature,  
the longer the warm-up).  
• The attachments can also be used dur-  
ing the engine warm-up period.  
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).

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.  
• The left hand side of mower should be  
used for trimming.  
00272  
• Drive so that clippings are discharged  
onto the area that has already 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.  
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be  
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-  
sible fire hazard from dried clippings.  
Make first cut relatively high; the second  
to the desired height.  
• 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.  
• 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 mowing to assure better mow-  
ing 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.  
• When operating attachments, select a  
ground speed that will suit the terrain  
and give best performance of the at-  
tachment being used.

➀GENERAL PURPOSE GREASE  
➁REFER TO MAINTENANCE “ENGINE”  
SECTION  
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the  
pivot points which have special nylon  
bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract  
dust and dirt that will shorten the life of  
the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel  
they must be lubricated, use only a dry,  
powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.  
BEFORE EACH USE  
1. Check engine oil level.  
2. Check brake operation.  
3. Check tire pressure.  
4. Check operator presence and  
interlock systems for proper operation.  
5. Check for loose fasteners.

4. Reassemble blade bolt, lock washer  
and flat washer in exact order as  
shown.  
5. Tighten blade bolt securely (27-35 Ft.  
Lbs. torque).  
IMPORTANT: Blade bolt is heat treated.  
If bolt needs replacing, replace only with  
approve bolt shown in the Repair Parts.  
TRACTOR  
Always observe safety rules when per-  
forming any maintenance.  
BRAKE OPERATION  
If tractor requires more than six (6) feet  
stopping distance at high speed in highest  
gear, then brake must be adjusted. (See  
“TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and  
Adjustments section of this manual).  
TIRES  
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires  
(See “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS”  
section of this manual).

Blade Bolt  
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect  
control chemicals which can harm rub-  
ber.  
Flat Washer  
TO SHARPEN BLADE  
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp  
objects and other hazards that may  
cause tire damage.  
NOTE: We do not recommend sharp-  
ening blade - but if you do, be sure the  
blade is balanced.  
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent  
flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant  
may be purchased from your local parts  
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry  
rot and corrosion.  
Care should be taken to keep the blade  
balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause  
excessive vibration and eventual damage  
to mower and engine.  
• The blade can be sharpened with a file  
or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt  
to sharpen while on the mower.  
• To check blade balance, you will need a  
5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone  
balancer. (When using a cone balancer,  
follow the instructions supplied with  
balancer.)  
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing  
blade. The lobes of the center hole may  
appear to be centered, but are not.  
• Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion  
of the steel bolt or pin and hold the  
bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If  
blade is balanced, it should remain in a  
horizontal position. If either end of the  
blade moves downward, sharpen the  
heavy end until the blade is balanced.  
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM  
Be sure operator presence and interlock  
systems are working properly. If your trac-  
tor does not function as described, repair  
the problem immediately.  
• The engine should not start unless  
the brake pedal is fully depressed and  
attachement clutch control is in the  
disengaged position.  
• When the engine is running, any at-  
tempt by the operator to leave the seat  
without first setting the parking brake  
should shut off the engine.  
• When the engine is running and the  
attachment clutch is engaged, any at-  
tempt by the operator to leave the seat  
should shut off the engine.  
• The attachment clutch should never op-  
erate unless the operator is in the seat.  
BLADE CARE  
For best results mower blades must be  
kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged  
blades.

BATTERY  
Your tractor has a battery charging system  
which is suffi cient for normal use. How-  
ever, periodic charging of the battery with  
an automotive charger will extend its life.  
• Keep battery and terminals clean.  
• Keep battery bolts tight.  
BLADE REMOVAL  
1. Raise mower to highest position to al-  
low access to blades.  
2. Remove blade bolt, lock washer and  
flat washer securing blade.  
3. Install new or resharpened blade  
with trailing edge up towards deck as  
shown.  
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper assembly,  
center hole in blade must align with star  
on mandrel assembly.  
• Keep small vent holes open.  
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.  
NOTE: The original equipment battery on  
your tractor is maintenance free. Do not  
attempt to open or remove caps or covers.

oil_visc_chart1_e  
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils  
(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in  
cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will  
result in increased oil consumption when  
used above 32°F. Check your engine oil  
level more frequently to avoid possible  
engine damage from running low on oil.  
Change the oil after every 25 hours of op-  
eration or at least once a year if the tractor  
is not used for 25 hours in one year.  
Check the crankcase oil level before start-  
ing the engine and after each eight (8)  
hours of operation. Tighten oil fill cap/  
dipstick securely each time you check the  
oil level.  
CLEAN AIR SCREEN  
Air screen must be kept free of dirt and  
chaff to prevent engine damage from  
overheating. Clean with a wire brush or  
compressed air to remove dirt and stub-  
born dried gum fibers.  
AIR FILTER  
Your engine will not run properly using a  
dirty air filter. Replace pre-cleaner after  
every 25 hours of operation or every  
season. Service paper cartridge every  
100 hours of operation or every season,  
whichever occurs first.  
Service air cleaner more often under  
dusty conditions.

STORAGE  
blended fuels (called gasohol or using  
Immediately prepare your tractor for stor-  
age at the end of the season or if the trac-  
tor will not be used for 30 days or more.  
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture  
which leads to separation and formation of  
acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-  
age the fuel system of an engine while in  
storage.  
WARNING: Never store the tractor  
with gasoline in the tank inside a building  
where fumes may reach an open flame  
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before  
storing in any enclosure.  
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-  
gine and letting 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.  
TRACTOR  
Remove mower from tractor for winter  
storage. When mower is to be stored for a  
period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove  
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a  
clean, dry area.  
• Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable  
alternative in minimizing the formation of  
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add  
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor-  
age 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 car-  
buretor. Do not empty the gas tank and  
carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
ENGINE OIL  
1. Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING”  
in the Maintenance section of this  
manual).  
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary  
(See belt replacement instructions in  
the Service and Adjustments section of  
this manual).  
3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance  
section of this manual.  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace  
with clean engine oil. (See “ENGINE” in  
the Maintenance section of this manual).  
CYLINDER(S)  
1. Remove spark plug(s).  
2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark  
plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).  
3. Turn ignition key to start position for a  
few seconds to distribute oil.  
4. Replace with new spark plug(s).  
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws  
are securely fastened. Inspect moving  
parts for damage, breakage and wear.  
Replace if necessary.  
5. 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.  
• To help prevent corrosion and power  
leakage during long periods of storage,  
battery cables should be disconnected  
and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO  
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in  
the Maintenance section of this manual).  
• After cleaning, leave cables discon-  
nected and place cables where they  
cannot come in contact with battery  
terminals.  
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 pro-  
tective cover that does not retain mois-  
ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot  
breathe which allows condensation to  
form and will cause your tractor to rust.  
IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while  
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.  
• If battery is removed from tractor for  
storage, do not store battery directly on  
concrete or damp surfaces.

FUEL SYSTEM  
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent  
gum deposits from forming in essential
