related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the dding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious injury.

II.

SLOPEOPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and. tipover accidents, which can result insevere 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.

• Keepallmovementontheslobesslowandgradual.

not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Do

* 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 slowlyand gradually downhill, if possible.

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

The mower could suddenly turnover ifawheel isoverthe edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

• Donotmowonwetgrass.Reducedtrectioncouldcause

sliding.

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

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

TO USE THRO'I-rLE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

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 USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Use choke controlwheneveryou are starting a coldengine.

Do not use to start a warm engine.

• To engage choke control, pull knob out. Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 6)

The direction and speed of movement is controlledby the gearshift lever.

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

• Move gear shift 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 (See

Fig. 6)

The cutting height is controlled by tuming the height adjust- ment knob in desired direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (F'_) to raise cutting height.

• rum knob counterclockwise (P_)to lower cuffing height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2" to 4-1/2".

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.

• Theaveregelawnshouldbecuttoapproximately2-1/2 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 ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 6B)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower isat the desired cuttingheight in

operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

OPERATION

• Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation section of this manual).

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

shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-16 Iocknut and tighten securely.

Repeat for opposite side installinggauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting the engine for the firsttime or ifthe 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 _DISENGAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to fast position

• Pullchoke controlout for acold 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 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 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 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 controlout slightlyfor a few

seconds and then continue topush the controlin slowly.

• The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine

and allow itto warm up for one minute using the choke as described above.

COLD WEALTHER STARTING (50 ° F and below)

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue topush the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to

accept small changes in speed and load, untilthe choke

control is fully in. If the engine starts to run roughly, pull

the choke control out slightlyfor 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.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warm- up periodand may requirethe choke controlbe pulledout slightly.

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.

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing

performance. See =TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

• The left hand side of mowershould be used fortdmming.

• Drive sothat clippings are discharged ontothe areathat has been cut.

Have the cut area to the dght of the

machine. This will result in a more even distributionof clippings and more uniformcutting.

13

• When mowinglarge areas, startbytuming tothe dghtso

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. 8).

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. 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 dumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.

.

Alwaysoperateengineatfullthrottlewhenmowing

to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge of material. Regulate groundspeed 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.

RG. 8

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 willrecutthe grass clippings

many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall

onto the lawn they will disperse intothe 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 sothat

the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades (See Fig. 9). For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grassconditions 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.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM

PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL

HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.

ALSO,

EXPERIE_NCE 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.

,, Drair_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 stor- age.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage

container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer contalnar.

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 ifusing fuel stabilizer.

Drain oil(withengine warm) and rap|ace with clean engine oil.

(See =ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

BA'B'ERY

Fully charge the battery for storage.

After a period of time in storage, battery may require recharging.

To help prevent corrosionan_ power k_akageduringtor_:j periods of storage, battery cables should be discon-

nected and battery cleaned thoroughly(see "To CLEAN

BA'I"rERY AND TERMINALS" in the Customer Responsibilities 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.

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

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

• Turn ignition keyto =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.

• Reblace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• Ifpossible, storeyourtractorindoors and coverit to give

protection from dust and dirt.

• Cover your tractorwith 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.
