Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn

the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

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.

BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

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.

Transmission Disengaged

FIG. 10

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

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.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

•

Besurefreewheelcontrolisinthetransmissionengaged

position.

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.

•

Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

•

Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

•

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already ﬁlled with summer weight oil.

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.

•

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.

•

For cold weather operation you should change oil for

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.

•

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)

OPERATION

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•

Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

•

Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission

should be warmed up as follows:

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.

•

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.

•

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for

normal operation.

•

Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.This

can be done during the engine warm up period.

•

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.

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.

•

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 tractor. This will result in a more even distribution

of clippings and more uniform cutting.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

•

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. 11).

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: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

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.

FIG. 11

•

Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

infreewheelingposition(See“TOTRANSPORT”inthis

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.

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

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.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open ﬂame

orspark. Allowtheenginetocoolbefore

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

•

Drain the fuel tank.

Start 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.

Use fresh fuel next season.

Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower

istobestoredforaperiodoftime,cleanitthoroughly,remove

all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

•

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 drain

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

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-

gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

•

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

BATTERY

•

Fully charge the battery for storage.

After a period of time in storage, battery may require

recharging.

CYLINDER(S)

•

Remove spark plug(s).

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 battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

•

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.
