ON HILLS
WARNING: 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° 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. See Storage instructions for additional information, Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

Insert key into ignition andtum 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, tf engine does not start after
several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,_)
position, wait a few minutes and try again.
When engine starts, move throttle control to desired
position°
MULCHING
°
The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as
they fall onto the lawn they will disperse intothe grass
and not be noticed° Also, the mulched grass will
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrientsfor the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed
as this will provide the best recutting action of the
blades..
•
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 isthe early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area
wilt not be exposed to the direct sun_
°
Forbest results, adjust the mower cutting height so that
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass
blades (See Fig. 12).. For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut and mow slowly.
°
Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require 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 weekto week. Mow
north to south one week then change to east to west the
next week.. This will help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.
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
The teft hand side of mower should be used for trimming.
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.
°
°
o
°
°
=
MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT:
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP
MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND
TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.
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 Adjustrnents section of this manual.
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing
is attached to unit.
-,
FIG. 11
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before
engaging drive or attachments.
°
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used_
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right
so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one ortwo rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig. 11 ).
if grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clipc_ings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
esired heighL
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass wilt plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps° AUow grass to
dry before rnowing_
I
MAX 1/3
Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing 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.

balancer, follow the instructions supplied with balancer).
Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt

section of this manual)..
BATTERY
o
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.. Add stabilizer to gasofine 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 atlowthe stabilizer'to reachthe carburetor'. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt°
-
Cover yourtractor with a suitable protective covetthat
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and
will cause your tractor to rust.
