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. 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.  
•
•
•
•
•
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.  
V. SERVICE  
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme  
careinhandlinggasoline. Gasolineisextremelyflammable  
and the vapors are explosive.  
•
•
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.  
•
•
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.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS  
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and  
complywithspecificationsofthemanufacturerofyourtrac-  
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.  
TO OPERATE ON HILLS  
CAUTION: Do not drive up or down  
hills with slopes greater than 15° and  
do not drive across any slope.  
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.  
•
Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down  
hills.  
•
•
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
•
•
Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.  
If stopping is absolutely necessary, push brake pedal  
quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.

Slowly depress appropriate drive pedal to slowest set-  
ting.  
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).  
•
•

Make all turns slowly.  
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in  
this manual.  
TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 3 and 11)  
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.  
ADD GASOLINE  
•
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.  
•

PURGE TRANSMISSION  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)  
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage  
freewheel lever while the engine is  
running.  
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.  
•
Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en-  
gaged position.  
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.

OPERATION  
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.  
•
•
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. 12).  
•
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  
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  
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER  
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.  
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.  
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.

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).  
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-  
placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments  
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.  
•
•
•
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.  
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
ENGINE OIL  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine  
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this  
manual).  
•
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.  
•
