SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

machine if anyone enters the area.

•

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.

•

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.

Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small

children.

CAUTION: Inordertopreventacciden-

talstartingwhensettingup,transport-

ing, adjusting or making repairs, al-

ways disconnect spark plug wire and

placewirewhereitcannotcontactspark

plug.

•

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 over-

turn 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.

CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in

neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

•

CAUTION: 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.

OPERATION

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

Whenstartingtheengineforthefirsttimeoriftheenginehas

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 (See Fig. 15)

•

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

•

•

Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

•

Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

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.

section in this manual.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

proceduresbelow.

•

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

afterseveralattempts,pushchokecontrolin,waitafew

the choke control out and retry.

ADD GASOLINE

•

Fill fuel tank. 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.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

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. Drainthegastank,starttheengineandletitrununtil

the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditionalinformation.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

use gasoline near an open flame.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•

Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission

should be warmed up as follows:

•

Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release

the parking brake and let the clutch/brake

slowly return to operating position.

Allowoneminutefortransmissiontowarmup.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

andmayrequirethechokecontrolbepulledoutslightly.

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

OPERATION

MOWING TIPS

PURGE TRANSMISSION

•

Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is

attached to tractor.

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See“TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING”in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

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 BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE

OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

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 ).

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

desiredheight.

Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug

STORAGE

Immediatelyprepareyourtractorforstorageattheendofthe

season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.

•

If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

CAUTION: 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.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM

PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL

HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.

ALSO,

TRACTOR

EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED

FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR

METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS

TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL

SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower

is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly,

remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry

area.

•

Drain the fuel tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetorareempty.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

•

Cleanentiretractor(See“CLEANING”intheCustomer

Responsibilities 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 Customer Responsibilities

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

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. 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 drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

•

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

•

Tohelppreventcorrosionandpowerleakageduringlong

periods of storage, battery cables should be discon-

nectedandbatterycleanedthoroughly(see“TOCLEAN

sibilities section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

•

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.

•

Ifpossible,storeyourtractorindoorsandcoverittogive

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.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
