SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
Look for this symbol to point out im-  
portant safety precautions. It means  
CAUTION!!! BECOMEALERT!!! YOUR  
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.  
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop  
machine if anyone enters the area.  
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades off.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always  
look down and behind before and while backing.  
•
•
CAUTION: Inordertopreventacciden-  
talstartingwhensettingup,transport-  
ing, adjusting or making repairs, al-  
ways disconnect spark plug wire and  
placewirewhereitcannotcontactspark  
plug.  
•
•
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously  
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful  
care of another responsible adult.  
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small  
children.  
•
•
•
•
•
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could over-  
turn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in  
neutral, you may lose control of the  
tractor.  
•
•
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.  
Donotturnonslopesunlessnecessary, andthen, turnslowly  
and gradually downhill, if possible.  
CAUTION: Tow only the attachments  
that are recommended by and comply  
withspecificationsofthemanufacturer  
of your tractor. Use common sense  
when towing. Operate only at the low-  
est possible speed when on a slope.  
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.

OPERATION  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
proceduresbelow.  
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
•
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  
afterseveralattempts,pushchokecontrolin,waitafew  
minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, pull  
the choke control out and retry.  
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.  
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.  
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  
torunroughly,pullthechokecontroloutslightlyforafew  
secondsandthencontinuetopushthecontrolinslowly.  
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.  
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for  
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the  
Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).  
Tochangeengineoil,seetheCustomerResponsibilities  
section in this manual.  
•
ADD GASOLINE  
•
Fill fuel tank. 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.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)  
•
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until  
theenginebeginstorunsmoothly.Continuetopushthe  
choke control in small steps allowing the engine to  
acceptsmallchangesinspeedandload,untilthechoke  
control is fully in. If the engine starts to run roughly, pull  
thechokecontroloutslightlyforafewsecondsandthen  
continue to push the control in slowly. This may require  
an engine warm-up period from several seconds to  
several minutes, depending on the temperature.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.  
WARNING: Experienceindicatesthatalcoholblendedfuels  
(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 system of  
an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the  
fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or  
longer. Drainthegastank,starttheengineandletitrununtil  
the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditionalinformation.  
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel  
tank or permanent damage may occur.  
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-  
upperiodandmayrequirethechokecontrolbepulledout  
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.  
MOWING TIPS  
•
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is  
attached to tractor.  
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing  
performance. See“TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in  
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.  
CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank  
fillerneck. Donotoverfill. Wipeoffany  
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or  
use gasoline near an open flame.

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).  
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  
desiredheight.  
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug

to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-  
chargeofmaterial. Regulategroundspeedbyselecting  
a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-  
mance as well as the quality of cut desired.  
•
Thespecialmulchingbladewillrecutthegrassclippings  
many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall  
ontothelawntheywilldisperseintothegrassandnotbe  
noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade  
quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch  
with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will  
provide the best recutting action of the blades.  
When operating attachments, select a ground speed  
thatwillsuittheterrainandgivebestperformanceofthe  
attachment being used.  
•
Avoidcuttingyour lawnwhen it is wet. Wet grass tends  
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.  
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.  
At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area  
will not be exposed to the direct sun.  
•
•
•
Forbestresults,adjustthemowercuttingheightsothat  
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass  
blades (See Fig. 13). For extremely heavy mulching,  
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.  
Certaintypesofgrassandgrassconditionsmayrequire  
that an area be mulched a second time to completely  
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow  
across or perpendicular to the first cut path.  
Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow  
northtosouthoneweekthenchangetoeasttowestthe  
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining  
of the lawn.

ENGINE  
FUEL SYSTEM  
CAUTION: Never store the tractor with  
gasoline in the tank inside a building  
where fumes may reach an open flame  
or spark. Allow the engine to cool  
before storing in any enclosure.  
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM  
DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM  
PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL  
HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.  
ALSO,  
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT 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  
SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.  
TRACTOR

is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly,  
remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry  
area.

Drain the fuel tank.  
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and  
carburetorareempty.  
•
Cleanentiretractor(See“CLEANING”intheCustomer  
Responsibilities section of this manual).  
•
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the  
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.  
•
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 Customer Responsibilities  
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.  
•
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in  
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-  
age. 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 drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
