SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss- of-control and tipover accidents, which
can result in severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel
uneasy on it, do not mow it.
DO:
• 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 ,=;tarting 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.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
SERVICE
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.
• Never run a machine inside a closed area.
• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good 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.
Allow machine to cool before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut.
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Check brake operation frequently.
Adjust and service as required.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers or children
even with the blades off.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
• 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.

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.
• k CAUTION: Always stop tractor completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THRO'n'LE 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.
12
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING
HEIGHT
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 2-1/2 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 o disengage attachment clutch control.
_CAUTION: Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the discharge guard in place.

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.).
TOWlNGCARTSANDOTHER
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. "iqrescan lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
Guard 13
BEFORE STARTING THE ENIGNE
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.
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.
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.
_(_CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel.
Do not store, spill or
use gasoline near an open flame.
14
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.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
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.
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 idle mixture valve in
(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel
to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the
supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fueVair mixture.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve and the seat in carburetor may result if screw is turned in too tight.
PRELIMINARY SETTING -
• Air cleaner assembly must be as-
sembled to the carburetor when making carburetor adjustments.
• Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above).
FINALSETTING-
• Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes.
Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.
25
Move throttle control lever to slow position.
With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain
1750 RPM.
While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then counterclockwise until engine runs rough.
Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions.
Release throttle lever.
ACCELERATION TEST -
• Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position.
If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture valve out
(counterclockwise) 1/8 turn.
Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted.
Do not adjust - damage 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 Authorized service center/department, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

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.
A(_CAUTION: Never store the tractor with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the 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 o! 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.
BA'I-rERY
• 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 terrninals.
• 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
_luUmdeposits 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
26
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.
• 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 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.
ENGINEOIL
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 cover tractor while engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
