result in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious injury to yourself
. READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL carefully in its entirety
before attempting to assemble or operate this unit. Keep
this manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
. This unit is a precision piece of power equipment, not
a plaything. Therefore exercise extreme caution at all
times.
. Know the controls and how to stop the machine quickly.
. Do not allow children to operate vehicle. Do not allow
adults to operate it without proper instruction. Only per-
sons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation
should be allowed to use your mower.
. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts to avoid entanglement in the moving
parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals, or
sneakers.
. To prevent injury, do not carry passengers or give rides.
Keep children, pets and bystanders out of the area while
mowing. Only the operator should ride on the unit and
only ride in the seat.
. Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under
power lines, guy wires, bridges or low hanging tree
branches, before entering or leaving buildings, or in any
other situation where the operator may be struck or pulled
from the unit, which could result in serious injury.
. To maintain control of the unit and reduce the possibil-
ity of upset or collision, operate the tractor smoothly.
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.
. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particular-
ly smali children and pets. Stop engine when they are
in the vicinity of your mower. Although the area of opera-
tion should be completely cleared of foreign objects, a
small object may have been overlooked and could be
accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and
cause injury to you or a bystander.
Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks or
roads.
Disengage all attachment clutches and shift into neutral
before attempting to start engine.
Disengage power to attachment(s) and stop engine
before leaving operating position.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

of this manual to measure slopes before operating this
unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than
15° as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this
unit on that area or serious injury could result.
Do not stop or start suddenty when going uphill or
downhill. Mow up and down face of steep slopes; never
across the face. Use extreme caution if it is necessary
to drive the tractor up an incline or back the tractor down
an incline because the front of the tractor could lift and
rapidly flip over backward which could cause serious
injury.
Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent
tipping or loss of control. Always keep the tractor in gear
when going down steep hills to take advantage of engine
braking action.

BATTERY INFORMATION
A TEE
A. Battery acid must be handled with great care as
contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is also
advisable to wear protective clothing (goggles, rub-
ber gloves and apron) when working with it.”
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the
eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area im-
mediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.
. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into
any sink or drain. Before discarding empty elec-
trolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing
solution.
. NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to bat-
tery while charger is turned on as it can cause
sparks.
. Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches,
lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen gas
generated during charging can be combustible.
. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in
a well-ventilated area.
* Always shield eyes, protect skin and clothing
when working near batteries.

TROUBLE
LOOK FOR
REMEDY
Engine will not
crank
Battery installed incor-
rectly
The battery must be installed with the negative terminal, identified at the terminal post by (Neg, N
or —), grounded. The positive terminal (Pos, P or +) attaches to the large cable from the solenoid.
The small red wire from the fuse holder or circuit breaker is also attached to the positive terminal.
Blown fuse or circuit
braaker
Replace fuse with 712 amp. fuse ¥ x 1%" 1g. Circuit breaker will reset itself whan it cools off. Fuses
or circuit breakers seldom open or fail without a reason. The problem must be corrected. Check for
loose connections in the fuse holder. Replace fuse holder if necessary. A dead short may be in the
cranking or charging circuit where the insulation may have rubbed through and exposed the bare
wire. Replace the wire or repair with electrician's tape if the wire strands have not been damaged.
Note: Look for a wire pinched between body panels, burned by the exhaust pipe or muffler or rubbed
against a moving part.
Battery is dead or weak
Use a hydrometer to check the condition of the battery. The Specific Gravity (s.g.) should be 1.265
at 80°F. (1.215 s.g. minimum needed for cranking engine). The reason for the battery failing must
be determined. (1) Defective battery. Battery will not accept or hold a full charge. (2) Short circuit.
Check for grounded wire. (3) Charging system not working.
The charging system is an alternator located under the flywheel. It is unregulated and rated 3 amp.
at 3600 r.p.m. A diode (rectifier) is located in the output lead just before the wire harness plug on
the engine side.

The diode changes A.C. to D.C. to charge the battery. A bad diode can either fail to charge the bat-
tery or discharge the battery if the alternator is shorted as well as the diode. To test: (1) Disconnect
charger lead from the battery (small red wire). (2) Connect 12 V small test lamp between the 3 amp.
D.C. charge lead and the positive terminal of the battery. (3) With the engine off, the lamp should
not light. If it does, the diode and possibly the alternator should be replaced. (4) Start the engine.
The lamp should light. If it does not, the alternator (stator) or lead wire is bad and should be replaced.
Mechanical failure
(Wires and switches)
The interlock system includes two mechanical activated switches which are wired in series in the
circuit used to energize the starter solenoid. While testing the interlock system, you will make the
mower temporarily unsafe by permitting the engine to be started with the blade and clutch engaged.
WARNING: While testing, disengage the clutch, shut off the blade control, set the parking brake and
place the gear shift lever in neutral. Attach a wire (minimum 18 gauge) to the positive terminal of the
battery and touch the other end to the small terminal on the solenoid. If the engine does not crank: (1)
There is a loose connection or poor ground. (2) The solenoid may be bad. The solenoid can be checked
by using a heavy wire (#8 gauge minimum) and jumping between the two large terminals. If the engine
cranks, the solenoid is bad. (3) If the engine does not crank when you jump the solenoid, have the
starter motor tested by an authorized engine dealer. If the engine does crank, the problem is with
one of the safety switches, ignition switch or the wire between the fuse holder (or circuit breaker) and
the small terminal on the solenoid. Note: Look for a poor connection at the switches or a defective
switch. Replace if necessary.
