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,
TO START ENGINE
(See Fig. 6)
When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine
Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.
Place gearshift lever in neutral (N) position,
° Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position
Pull choke control out to choke (N) position for cold engine start, For' warm engine start do not use choke control.
o Move throttle control to midway between fast ('_) and slow (,,_.) positions.
Insert key into ignition and tum 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 engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,_) position, wait a few minutes and try again_
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in_
Move throttle control to fast ('_) position.
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging drive or attachments
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
OIPERAT ON
IVlOWING TiPS
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor.
o Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance.
See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual
° Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a guide The blade cuts approximately an inch outside the runner (See Fig 8), o 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 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, 10)_
• 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 weL 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.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
(See Fig. 33)
Tile carburetor has been present 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 fuel/air mixture
IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT
PRELIMINARY SETTING -
Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see "TO ADJUST
THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual)
With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclockwise) 1 turn
FINAL SETTING -
Start engine and allow to warm for' five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position
The high idle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow
(_) position, engine should idle at 1200 RPM If engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is attained.
Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in slow (,,_.) position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in
(clockwise) until engine speed decreases and then turn out (counterclockwise) approximately 3/4 turn to obtain the best low speed performance.
Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary
ACCELERATION TEST o Move throttle control lever from slow (_) to fast ("_) position.
If engine hesitates or' dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle 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 resulL

SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,
FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL
ALSO,
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 o 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.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual)
CYLINDERS o Remove spark plug(s)
Pour one ounce of oi! through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s)
° Turn ignition key to "START" position form few seconds to distribute oil.
