Mow up and down slopes, not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn 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.

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.

These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope..If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

DO NOT"

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

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

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

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

Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

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 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.

• Never carry children.

They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/ brake pedal into full "BRAKE" position.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) position.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to

"backfire".

Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "OFF" will cause the battery to be discharged,

(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 completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THRO'I-FLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the battery charging rate.

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower performance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND

BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the gearshift lever.

• Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal depressed and gearshift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move gearshift lever to desired position.

• Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.

IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete stop before shifting or changing gears.

Failure to do so will shorten the useful life of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING

HEIGHT

12

The position of the attachment lift lever

determines the cutting height.

Grasp lift lever.

• Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired position.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 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 2-112 inches during the

cool season and to over 3 inches during hot months.

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

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

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

TO OPERATE MOWER

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.

• Select desired height of cut.

Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disen- gage attachment clutch control.

_lb CAUTION: Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the deflector shield in place.

Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills.

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

• If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever to slower position.

If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.

Move gearshift leverto 1st gear.

Be sure you have allowed room for tractor

13

to roll slightly as you restart movement.

To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and clutch/brake pedal.

Make all tums slowly.

TO TRANSPORT

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

• When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure gearshift lever is in neutral (N) position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than five (5) MPH.

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

AI"rACHMENTS

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.

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.

Unthread and remove oil fill cap/ dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the

dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill cap on the tube.

Do not thread the cap onto the tube. 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 Customer Responsibilities section in this.

manual.

Oil Fill Cap/

Dipstick

ADDGASOLINE

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.

IMPORTANT: When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to

help insure good cold weather starting. a_c WARNING: Experience indicates that ohol 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.

_eCAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank r neck.

Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel.

Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START 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.

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

• Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISEN-

GAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to choke position.

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, move throttle control to fast position, wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, move the throttle control back to the choke position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast position.

• 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 and below)

When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast position.

This may require an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period.

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 CARBURE-

TOR" 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.

The left 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 tractor.

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.

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 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.

When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

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 clippings 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 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.

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 grass" blades. For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut on each pass 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 week to 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.

@REFER TO Maintenance "ENGINE" SECTION

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot points which have special nylon bearings.

Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life of the self-lubricating bearings.

If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered

16 graphite type lubricant sparingly.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be

adjusted. (See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

TIRES

Maintain proper air pressure in all tires

(See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual).

Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber.

Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and

prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire

sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. "13resealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your

tractor does not function as described, repair the problem immediately.

The engine should not start unless the

clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control is in the disengaged position.

• When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the

seat without first setting the parking brake should shut off the engine.

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.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp.

Replace bent or damaged blades.

BLADE REMOVAL

• Raise mower to highest position to allow access to blades.

Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing blade.

Install new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up towards deck as shown.

17

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper assembly, center hole in blade must align with star on mandrel assembly.

Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer in exact order as shown.

Tighten bolt securely (27-35 Ft. Lbs. torque).

IMPORTANT: Blade bolt is Grade 8 heat treated.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced.

An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine.

The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

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.

• Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position.

If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for

differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the

supply of fuel to the engine giving a

richer fueVair mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and the seats in carburetor may result if needle is turned in too tight.

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap, which allows some adjustment within

the limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needle.

Be sure you have a clean air filter and the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above).

Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

J_Li_Z_ccL_I - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM. If engine

idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

Lever

25

IdlQ fuel needle setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then tum out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle to a

point midway between those two positions.

• Recheck idle speed.

Readjust if necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

• Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (countemlockwise) 1/8 turn.

Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust odamage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed

setting can be dangerous. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest AUTHO-

RIZED service center/department, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

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 in the 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 discon- nected 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.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

_]uUmdeposits from forming in essential el system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels 9called gasohol or using

27

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 m storage.

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.

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.
