SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers

DANGER: THiS CUTTING MACHINE iS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT iN SERIOUS iNJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: In order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments that

are recommended by and comply with

specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing.

Operate only at the lowest 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.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating.

Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while backing.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and working.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended.

Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge chute.

• Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection machine.

when operating

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mowerrelated injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

• Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other debris which can cause build-up to occur.

Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.

If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.

Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes.

Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope.

If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge caves in.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers ill. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out ofthe mowing area and inthe watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

• Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

GENERAL SERVICE

• Never operate machine in a closed area.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove anyfuelsoaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.

• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge chute frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp.

Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

• Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

IV. TOWING

• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

o o

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim ofthe fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

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 standard safety

glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 17)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing 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.

• Depress brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.

• Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pressure from brake pedal (B), then release parking brake lever.

Pedal should remain in brake position.

Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

• Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

• Never use the choke to stop the engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY

TO DISCHARGE AND GO DEAD.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

A

CAUTION: Always stop tractor corn=

pletely, as described above, and set

parking brake before leaving the opera= tot's position.

TO USE TH ROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 19)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

• Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces engines operating efficiency.

• Full speed (fast) offers the best bagging and mower performance.

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control lever. (J)

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 22)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck inproper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See"TOADJUST

MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this section of manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole.

Tighten securely.

• Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

02941

Fig. 20

• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral position.

• Release parking brake.

• Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 21)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the cutting height.

Fig. 21

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not running.

These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately

2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot months.

For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height should be mowed twice.

Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height.

(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

_I_WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged.

Turning the

ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

USINGTHE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (See Fig. 24)

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders will enter the mowing area.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise to ROS "ON" position.

• Look down and behind before and while backing.

• Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) position to start movement.

• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs.

16 and 25)

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position.

Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar of tractor.

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with attachment lift control.

• Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and release so it is held in the disengaged position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

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.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. 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.

SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER

Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower needs servicing. When service is required, the service reminder will flash for two hours. To service engine and mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure key remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not running.

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING 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.

• 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.

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.

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

iMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW

32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE

TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

CAUTION: 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 enginewhile 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.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 16)

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.

• Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission engaged position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral 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.

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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C 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 afew 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.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C 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 accept small changes in speed and load, until the choke 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 require an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission 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.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warmup period after the transmission has been warmed up 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/0°C) 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 whilethe engine is running.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended 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 developed during shipping of your tractor.

iMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGEDAFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFORE OPERATING

THE TRACTOR.

1.

Place tractor safely on a level surface - that is clear and open - with engine off and parking brake set.

2.

Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual).

3.

Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

A

CAUTION _=me, during step 4, there may be movement of the drive wheels.

4.

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.

After the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion control lever to the neutral position. Repeat this procedure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal operation.

OPERATION

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 left hand side ofmower 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.

• When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so 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. 26).

f

(:

< j,,

Fig. 26

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. 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 selecting 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.

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be serviced.

You may also check brake by:

• Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, depress brake pedal all the way down and engage parking brake.

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

in "transmission disengaged" position. Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and release so it is held in the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manually push the tractor forward.

If the rear wheels rotate, then the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a qualified service center.

TRANSAXLE MOTION CONTROL LEVER

NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 42)

The motion control lever has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary.

• Loosen adjustment bolt in front of the right rear wheel, and lightly tighten.

• Start engine and move motion control lever until tractor does not move forward or backward.

• Hold motion control lever in that position and turn engine off.

• While holding motion control lever in place, loosen the adjustment bolt.

• Move motion control levertothe neutral (Iockgate) position.

• Tighten adjustment bolt securely.

NOTE: If additional clearance is needed to get to adjustment bolt, move mower deck height to the lowest position.

After above adjustment is made, if the tractor still creeps forward or backward while motion control lever is in neutral position, follow these steps:

• Loosen the adjustment bolt.

• Move the motion control lever 1/4" to 1/2" in the direction it is trying to creep.

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNIN G: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allowthe engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage.

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

• Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

• 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.

• 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.

• To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during long periods of storage, battery cables should be disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

• 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.

STORAGE

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANTTO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUELSYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE.

ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOLOR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OFACIDS DURING

STORAGE.

ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM

OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting 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.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing 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.

ENGINE OiL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil.

(See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

• Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

• 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 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.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVERTRACTORWHILE ENGINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
