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.  
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.  
•
•
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper  
operation regularly.  
•
•
•
•
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.  
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.  
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.  
•
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-  
ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
Never carry passengers.  
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.  
•
•
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.  
•
•
•
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.

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 standard safety glasses or a wide  
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR  
speed (fast) position, before stopping, may cause engine  
to “backfire”.  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE(See Fig. 16)  
•
Turn ignition key (F) to “STOP” position and remove  
key.Alwaysremovekeywhenleavingtractortoprevent  
unauthorized use.  
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-  
ing 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.  
•
Never use the choke to stop the engine.  
•
•
Depress brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.  
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY  
POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY  
TO DISCHARGE AND GO DEAD.  
Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres-  
sure from brake pedal (B), then release parking brake  
lever. Pedal should remain in brake position. Make  
sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.  
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.  
C
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-  
pletely, as described above, and set  
parkingbrakebeforeleavingtheopera-  
tor's position.

TO OPERATE MOWER  
Your tractor isequipped withan operator presencesensing  
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 hesitat-  
ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,  
rolling terrain or hills.  
The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the  
cutting height.

Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.  
The cutting height range is approximately 1" 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.  
S
•
The average lawn should be cut to approximately  
2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" 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.

OPERATION  
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)  
(See Fig. 23)  
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System  
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse  
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off  
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"  
position.  
TO TRANSPORT (See Fig. 15 and 24)  
When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage  
transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling  
position. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar  
of tractor.  
•
Raiseattachmentlifttohighestpositionwithattachment

•
Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and  
release so it is held in the disengaged position.  
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-  
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the  
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment  
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator  
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the  
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless  
absolutely necessary.  
•
•
Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.  
To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.  
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.).

•
Sit on seat in operating position, depress brake pedal  
and set parking brake.  
Removeoilfillcap/dipstickandwipeclean, 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.  
•
•
•
Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.  
Move throttle control to fast position  
Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempt.  
For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may  
not be needed.  
•
•
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.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
•
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.  
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.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
•
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
•
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.  
IMPORTANT: WHENOPERATINGINTEMPERATURESBELOW  
32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE  
TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)  
CAUTION: 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  
systemofanenginewhileinstorage. Toavoidengine  
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.

MOWING TIPS  
•
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.  
•
•
The left hand side of mower should be used for  
trimming.  
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.  
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.  
•
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. 25).  
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 freewheeling position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in  
this section of manual).  
3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine  
is running, move throttle control to slow position. With  
motioncontrolleverinneutralposition,slowlydisengage  
clutch/brake pedal.  
CAUTION: Atanytime,duringstep4,there  
may be movement of the drive wheels.  
Fig. 25  
•
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  
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 attachment being used.  
4. Move motion control lever to full forward position and  
hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse  
position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this  
procedure three (3) times.  
5. Move motion control lever to neutral position. Shut- off  
engine and set parking brake.  
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.  
With motion control lever in neutral position, slowly  
disengage clutch/brake pedal.  
8. Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the  
tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move  
motion control lever to reverse position. After the trac-  
tor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion  
control lever to the neutral position. Repeat this proce-  
dure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

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).  
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.  
•
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.  
ENGINE OIL  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine  
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).  
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.
