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.

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.

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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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 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.

•

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY

TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

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.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely,asdescribedabove,beforeleav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL - D (See Fig. 6)

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.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

•

Insertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto“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.

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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

•

Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

•

When engine starts, move the throttle control to the

fast position.

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).

•

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)

To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

•

When engine starts, allow engine to run with the

throttle control in the choke position until the engine

runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast posi-

tion. This may require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

temperature.

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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•

Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission

should be warmed up as follows:

•

Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly

return to operating position.

Allowoneminutefortransmissiontowarmup.This

can be done during the engine warm up period.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

•

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW32°F(0°C),USEFRESH,CLEANWINTERGRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

•

The attachments can also be used during the engine

warm-upperiodafterthetransmissionhasbeenwarmed

up.

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.

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.

OPERATION

PURGE TRANSMISSION

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

freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

•

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.

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

REQUIREREMOVALFORSERVICEORREPLACEMENT,

IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

•

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).

•

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.

Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,

hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress

reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five

(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure

three (3) times.

•

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.

Disengage parking brake.

Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then

backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure

three times.

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.

•

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

Engine Power Rating Information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engi-

neers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and

corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by,

among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of prod-

ucts on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating 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 limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust,

charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humid-

ity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may sub-

stitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
