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. 6)  
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. 6)  
Always operate engine at full throttle.  
•
•
Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the  
battery charging rate.

lever is in neutral (N) position.  
Do not push or tow tractor at more than five (5)  
MPH.  
TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 8)  
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing  
switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with  
the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will  
shut off the engine.  
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.).

OPERATION  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)  
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
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.  
•
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake  
pedal and set parking brake.  
•
•
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
•
•
•
•
Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.  
Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.  
Move throttle control to fast position  
Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempt.  
For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may  
not be needed.  
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).  
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in  
this manual.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
•
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.  
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
•
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.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)  
•
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until  
the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push  
the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to  
acceptsmallchangesinspeedandload,untilthechoke  
control is fully in.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. This may  
requireanenginewarm-upperiodfromseveralseconds  
to several minutes, depending on the temperature.  
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.  
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-  
up period and may require the choke control be pulled  
out 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.

OPERATION  
MULCHING MOWING TIPS  
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.  
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER  
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN  
AFTER EACH USE.  
•
The special mulching blade will recut the grass clip-  
pings many times and reduce them in size so that as  
they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass  
and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biode-  
grade 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.  
•
•
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. 9).  
•
Avoid cutting your lawn when 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.  
•
For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so  
that the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the  
grassblades(SeeFig.10).Forextremelyheavymulch-  
ing, reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow  
slowly.  
MAX 1/3  
FIG. 9  
•
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.  
FIG. 10  
•
•
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.  
•
•
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.  
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed  
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of  
the attachment being used.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 12)  
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if  
you do, be sure the blade is balanced.  
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to  
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local  
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and  
corrosion.  
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An un-  
balancedbladewillcauseexcessivevibrationandeventual  
damage to mower and engine.  
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM  
Besureoperatorpresenceandinterlocksystemsarework-  
ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,  
repair the problem immediately.

When the engine is running and the attachment clutch  
is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the  
seat should shut off the engine.  
The attachment clutch should never operate unless  
the operator is in the seat.  
•
To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter  
steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a  
cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with  
balancer).  
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of  
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.  
•
Slidebladeontoanunthreadedportionofthesteelbolt

Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.  
Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate  
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.  
FIG. 13  
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)  
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils  
will result in increased oil consumption when used above  
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid  
possible engine damage from running low on oil.  
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least  
once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one  
year.  
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine  
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill  
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

•
•
•
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.
