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.  
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.  
•
•
•
•
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.  
•
•
•
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 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.  
•
•
•
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 standard safety glasses or a wide  
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.  
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position  
other than "STOP" will cause the battery to discharge and  
go dead.  
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

as described above.  
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use  
fresh,clean,regularunleadedgasolinewithaminimumof  
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

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.  
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP  
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather, thetransmission  
should be warmed up as follows:  
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.  
•
•
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.  
•
Theattachmentscanbeusedduringtheenginewarm-up  
period after the transmission has been warmed up and  
may require the choke control be pulled out slightly.  
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.  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 13)  
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.  
PURGE TRANSMISSION  
•
Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en-  
gaged position.  
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage  
freewheel lever while the engine is  
running.  
•
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake  
pedal and set parking brake.

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.  
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.  
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.  
•
Place tractor safely on a level surface - that is clear  
and open - with engine off and parking brake set.  
Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control  
in freewheeling position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in  
this section of manual).  
•
•
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine  
is running, move throttle control to slow position. With  
motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly dis-  
engage clutch/brake pedal.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

OPERATION  
MOWING TIPS  
CAUTION: At any time, during step 4,  
there may be movement of the drive  
wheels.  
•
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing  
performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in  
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.  
•
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.  
Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-  
off engine and set parking brake.  
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in  
engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this sec-  
tion of manual).  
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 (N) position, slowly  
disengage clutch/brake pedal.  
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 mo-  
tion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat  
this procedure with the motion control lever three (3)  
times.  
•
•
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.  
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. 22).  
•
•
•
•
•
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal  
operation.  
FIG. 22  
•
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.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
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.  
TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BATTERY  
(See Fig. 36)  
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.  
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER  
TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -  
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.

•
•
•
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.  
•

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-  
ited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, am-  
bient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufactur-  
ing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
