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.

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 a wide vision safety mask over spectacles  
or standard safety glasses.  
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing  
HOW TO USEYOUR TRACTOR  
idlewiththeenginerunning, hotengineexhaustgasesmay  
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-  
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 8)  
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.  
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-  
pletely,asdescribedabove,beforeleav-  
ing the operator's position; to empty  
grass catcher, etc.  
•
Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position  
and hold.  
•
Place parking brake lever in“ENGAGED”position and  
releasepressurefromclutch/brakepedal. Pedalshould  
remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake  
will hold tractor secure.  
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)  
Always operate engine at full throttle.  
•
•
Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the  
battery charging rate.  
Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-  
mance.

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with  
theenginenotrunning. Theseheightsareapproximateand  
may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass  
and types of grass being mowed.

•
Move throttle control between half and full speed (fast)  
position.  
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and  
fullspeed(fast)position,beforestoppingmaycauseengine  
to “backfire”.  
•
The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2  
inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches  
during hot months. For healthier and better looking  
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.  
•
Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key.  
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent  
unauthorized use.  
•
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.  
•
Never use choke to stop engine.  
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY  
POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY  
TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

OPERATION  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called  
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract 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. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional  
information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
FIG. 11  
TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-  
MENTS  
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and  
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-  
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 START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)  
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.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL  
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.  
Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.  
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill cap on  
the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube.Remove  
and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until “FULL”  
mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
•
•
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.  
•
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  
the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts  
to run roughly, pull the choke control out slightly for a  
few seconds and then continue to push the control in  
slowly.  
•
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.  
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.

OPERATION  
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP  
•
Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the  
tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move  
motion control lever to reverse position. After the  
tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the  
motion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat  
this procedure with the motion control lever three (3)  
times.  
•
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.  
Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.This  
can be done during the engine warm up period.  
•
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for  
normal operation.  
•
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-  
up period after the transmission has been warmed  
up and may require the choke control be pulled out  
slightly.  
MOWING TIPS  
•
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-  
formance. 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.  
Whenmowinglargeareas,startbyturningtotherightso  
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).  
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.  
•
•
PURGE TRANSMISSION  
•
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage  
freewheel lever while the engine is run-  
ning.  
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: SHOULDYOURTRANSMISSIONREQUIRE  
REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT  
SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION  
BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.  
•
Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and  
parking brake set.  
00272  
•
Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control  
infreewheelingposition(See“TOTRANSPORT”inthis  
section of manual).  
FIG. 12  
•
•
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-  
gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.  
With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly  
disengage clutch/brake pedal.  
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.  
•
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 se-  
lecting 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.  
•
•
NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement  
of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic  
drive system.  
•
Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-  
off engine and set parking brake.  
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in  
driving position (See“TOTRANSPORT”in this section  
of manual).  
•
•
•
Sittinginthetractor seat, startengine. Aftertheengine  
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

nance section of this manual).  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
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.  
ENGINE OIL  
•
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-  
gine 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).  
•
•
Turn ignition key to “START”position for a few seconds  
to distribute oil.  
Replace with new spark plug(s).  
•
•
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place  
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery  
terminals.  
If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not  
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.  
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.
