Become thoroughly familiar with all tractor and attach­ ment controls before operating.

A

WARNING: Improper operation of your tractor on hillsides and slopes can be dangerous. Avoid improper operation! Read and follow the instructions given in the section titled "Hi"side

Operation" in this manual before opera~ing your tractor.

A CAUTION: If necessary to move tractor on a trailer, al ways back up onto the trailer and drive off of trailer.

A

CAUTION: Hydraulic sys­ tems are highly pressurized.

Escaping hydraulic oil, even an invisible pinhole leak, can penetrate body tissues causing serious injury. Use a piece of wood or cardboard when looking for leaks - never use the hands or other parts of the body.

Relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting circuits.

When reassembling, make absolutely certain that all con­ nections are tight.

If injured by hydraulic oil escaping under pressure, see a doctor immediately. Serious complicaitons may arise if medical attention is not given at once.

A

CAUTION: When adjusting steering wheel free play make certain that some free play remains between the sector gear and pinion gear, since a tight fit, with no clearance be­ tween the two gears may cause binding and tooth fail ure.

A

CAUTION: When removing a battery, always disconnect the 1-) negative ground cable first . When installing the battery, always connect the

1-) negative ground cable last.

A CAUTION: Storage areas for batteries must be well ventil ated to prevent accumulation of hydrogen gas from newly recharged batteries.

IV

DANGER: Batteries produce explosive charges. Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away. Ventilate when charg­ ing or using in enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.

CAUTION: When working around storage batteries, re­ member that all of the ex­ posed metal parts are "live".

Never lay a metal object across the terminals as a spark or short circuit may result. Sparks, lighted matches and exposed flames must be kept away from the battery due to the presence of explosive gas in the battery.

The liquid in the batteries is acid. Use care not to spill it on hands or clothing.

POISON: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Antidote: EXTERNAL, flush with water; INTERNAL, drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or veg etable oil. Call physician im­ mediately; EYES, flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.

Keep out of reach of children .

Remember, a careful operator is always the best insurance against an accident. Give complete and undivided at­ tention to the job at hand.

CAUTION: Set parking brake, shut off engine, remove key, and wait until all engine and attachment motion has stopped before dismounting from the operator's seat.

WARNING: To jump start this machine, connect pos­ itive jumper cable to battery terminal on starter solenoid and connect negative jumper cable to good engine ground .

Start engine only when seated in operator's seat. Stop en­ gine before leaving machine.

Disconnect jumper cables .

Any other method could result in uncontrolled machine movement.

CAUTION: Never wear rings or metal watch bands when working . with the tractor electrical system or battery as you may ground a live circuit.

CAUTION: Too much air pressure in the tires can cause tire or rim failure . Never put more air pressure in a tire than specified in the operator's manual or on the sidewall of the tire. If the tire or rim explode because of too much pressure, injury can result.

CAUTION : Before attempt­ ing to service the attachment

Drive Clutch, be sure to remove tractor key and spark plug wire(s).

CAUTION: Only operate controls from the operator's seat to prevent injury.

IMPORTANT: Always install new decals whenever the old decals are destroyed, lost, painted over or illegible. When individual parts are replaced that have decals attached, be sure to install a new decal with the new part. Replacement decals are available from your dealer.

CAUTION: Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs . v

A

HILLSIDE (SLOPE) OPERATION

WARNING: Improper opera­ tion of your tractor on hill­ sides and slopes can be dan­ gerous. Avoid improper oper­ ation! Read and follow the in­ structions given in the section titled "Hillside Operation" in this manual before operating you r tractor.

Avoid operating tractor on hillsides and slopes. To minimize the possibility of accidents while operating on hills and/or rough terrain, obey a combination of rules, practices and good common sense.

These include:

1. Reading, understanding, and obeying all written safety messages appearing on decals on the ma­ chine and in operator's manuals.

2. Learning from your operator's manual and careful­ ly from EXPERIENCE how to operate your tractor correctly. Know your tractor's limitations.

3. Knowing the terrain on which you are operating your tractor. There are terrain conditions on which your tractor cannot be operated!

4. Learning to expect changes in operating condi­ tions. Adding or removing attachments or weight to your tractor will make your tractor perform dif­ ferently. Rain, snow, loose gravel, wet grass, etc., change the tractive conditions of the terrain re­ quiring changes in your operating technique or not to operate on that terrain.

The following paragraphs will cover these practices one at a time. Read and study them. The examples provided are not all inclusive but will give you a firm understanding of the requirements for avoiding acci­ dents while operating your tractor.

Ingersoll Lawn and Garden Tractors are designed and built to comply with the Voluntary Standard ANSI

(American National Standards Institute).

THE OPERATOR IS THE SOLE JUDGE AS TO THE

DEGREE OF SLOPE ON WHICH THIS TRACTOR

CAN BE SAFELY OPERATED. IF IN DOUBT THAT

THIS TRACTOR CAN BE SAFELY OPERATED ON A

PARTICULAR SLOPE, DO NOT OPERATE ON THAT

SLOPE! COMMON SENSE MUST PREVAIL.

Read, Understand, Obey:

Safety messages are found on the tractor and in the operator's manuals. These must be understood by the tractor operator to be of value. Be sure that these mes­ sages are studied before starting and/or operating the tractor by an operator not familiar with this particular tractor. learn to Operate:

Learn your tractor's controls from decals on the trac­ tor and from instructions in the operator's manual.

Practice how to properly manipulate these controls.

Practice must be done in a flat area, clear of obstacles and bystanders. Learn your tractor's operating charac­ teristics and limitations. These include: a. amount of engine power available b. engine governor response c. tractive ability d. steering characteristics e. braking characteristics f. movement of. travel lever g. forward and reverse ground speeds h. speed of attachment lift i. and others

Attempting any operation which approaches or ex­ ceeds the tractor's limitation is risking an accident.

Know the Terrain:

Know the terrain on which you are working. Find hid­ den obstacles by walking through and inspecting the area prior to operating your tractor on it. Mark ob­ stacles, such as, rocks, ruts or holes with a 6 ft. long pole and red flag and stay well clear of these obstacles when operating.

Operate your tractor at a ground speed slow enough to insure complete control at all times.

Place the transmission in low gear and regulate the throttle control lever slowly and smoothly to maintain this safe speed. Do not stop on a hill or slope to change gears.

VI

-

Always drive in a forward direction when proceeding downhill. Never drive up a h i ll. If necessary, back up a hill to the desired position . Always back up loading ramps and tilt bed trailers . If necessary to turn while on a hill, always turn downward .

Your judgement, based on operating experience is the final word in deciding if you should negotiate any given hill or slope . If you are in doubt about safety,

ST A Y OFF THE SLOPE .

Under no circumstances should an inexperienced op ­ erator attempt to use your tractor on slopes or hill­ sides .

You may encounter some terrain on which your trac­ tor cannot be operated even if a different piece of equipment has operated there in the past.

Learn to Compensate for Changes in Operating

Conditions :

Adding or removing attachments or ballast (such as wheel weights or fluid) change the weight and weight distribution of your tractor and, therefore, changes your tractor's operating characteristics .

Be alert to these changes . Practice operating the trac­ tor after each change has been made.

Adding an attachment (weight) to the rear of the trac ­ tor reduces the weight on the front axle . Adding an at ­ tachment (weight) to the front of the tractor reduces weight on the rear of the tractor . You must add coun­ terweight to the front if a rear mounted attachment is installed. You must add counterweight to the rear i f a front mounted attachment is installed .

Tractive conditions will vary with weather and terrain and equipment.

Areas wet with dew or rain will be more slippery than when dry . Areas covered with loose gravel are more slippery than firm dry ground. Greater stopping dis­ tances are required in these slippery areas .

Spinning rear wheels tend to move the tractor side­ ways. The addition of tire chains will provide more traction to the rear wheels in the forward-reverse di­ rection but less stability in the s i deways direction.

Chains will cause more abrupt starting and stopping.

The final word in safe tractor operation rests on your judgement.

If in doubt of your safety, STAY OFF THE SLOPE .

Before starting engine: dis­ engage attachment drive and place travel control in neutral.

Remove objects from the terrain that could be thrown by the attachment .

Keep people and pets a safe distance away.

Never carry passengers.

Always look behind tractor before backing.

On any incline that the trac­ tor can be safely operated use low range/gear.

Front end tip over can occur when operating on loading ramps or hills, back up ramps or hills.

Drive forward going down ramps or hills .

To park tractor: place travel control in neutral, set parking brake, disengage attachment drive. shut engine off and re­ move key.

Park tractor before servic­ ing or making adjustments to tractor or attachments.

Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injury or death.

A CAUTION: Do not wear loose clothing which may catch in moving parts.

A CAUTION: Disengage power to attachmentls) and stop the engine (motor) before making any repairs or adjustments.

1. Use only clean fuel , oil, container and funnel.

2. Apply oil or grease to all the specified points shown in the Lubrication Chart.

3 . Check the oil level in the engine and add oil as re­ quired.

4. Check the engine air cleaner and air intake screen for dirt or obstructions . Clean as required .

CAUTION: Handle gasoline with care it is highly flam­ mable. a. Use approved gasoline container .

A b. Never remove the fuel cap of. or add gasoline to, a running or hot engine or an engine that has not been allowed to cool for several minutes after running. Never fill the tank indoors and always clean up spilled gasoline. c . Open doors if the engine is run in the garage - ex­ haust fumes are danger­ ous. Do not run the en gine indoors.

A

CAUTION: Do not smoke when working near fuel.

5. Fill the fuel tank with clean fuel. Clean the area around the fuel cap before you remove the cap.

The requirements are listed in the Fuel Specifica­ tions Section of this manual.

6. Check the ventilation hole in fuel tank cap and clean as required.

7. Check all operating controls and instruments for correct function before using the tractor .

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

Controlled break-in is the ideal fitting of all internal moving metal parts. Using the proper oil and apply­ ing a conscientious maintenance program during this period helps assure satisfactory service from your engine .

Maintain the proper cooling and lubrication during break in. Run the engine at half load for the first three

8 hours with intermittent periods of full load to control engine break-in.

Check the oil level at least every five operating hours .

Add oil to keep it at the proper level, but never overfill as overfilling may cause the oil to foam and enter the breather system, resulting in high oil consumption and oil accumulation in air cleaner housing .

STARTING PROCEDURE (Operating the Tractor)

CAUTION: Only operate con· trois from the operator's seat to prevent injury.

CAUTION: Do not wear loose clothing which may catch in moving parts.

NOTICE: Your new tractor is equipped with a switch under the seaL

The tractor engine will stop if you get off the seat when the attachment drive clutch is in the "ON" position, or the travel control lever is in "FORWARD" or "REVERSE" position.

1Put the travel control lever in the "NEUTRAL" position.

2. Put the attachment drive switch in the "Off" posi­ tion.

CAUTION: Disengage all at­ tachment clutches and shift into neutral before attempting to start the engine (motor).

3. Push the choke lever forward to close the choke.

The choke setting will change according to the air temperature, engine temperature, and grade of fuel.

4 . Push the throttle lever forward approximately 1/3 of the way between the "SLOW" and "FAST' positions.

CAUTION: Do not allow child­ ren to operate the machine.

Do not allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.

6. Pull the choke lever rearward slowly after the engine starts running .

7. Permit the engine to warm before applying a load.

NOTE: The hydraulic system must be warm before you use the tractor when air temperatures are less than 32°F (O°C). Use the following pro­ cedure: a. Set the throttle 1/3 of the way between the

"SLOW" and "FAST" position . b. Select the "NEUTRAL" position of the dual range transaxle. c. Move the travel control lever to the full

"FORWARD" position . d. Run for several minutes before operating the tractor. A noise can occur when the hydraulic system is cold.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT TRY TO START THE TRAC­

TOR BY PUSHING OR TOWING.

SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT

TO THE DRIVE SYSTEM.

Separate Operator's Manuals are provided with the attach­ ments purchased with your tractor. Refer to the apprq­ priate attachment operators manual for specific operating instructions and safety messages that apply to the attachment.

OPERATING PROCEDURE (OPERATING THE TRACTOR)

Operate the tractor for the first time on a flat area clear of obstructions and persons. Learn the operating characteristics of your tractor before trying the first job.

3. "HIGH" range is for transport only, "HIGH" range must not be used for hillside operation.

4. If the range shift does not move easily, rotate the gears.

1. Select the correct gear range for the job .

To rotate the gears:

2. "LOW" range is for all working operations and hillside use. Always use "LOW" range on hillsides or inclines.

CAUTION: Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. a. Use only approved draw­ bar hitch points. b. limit loads to those you can safely control. c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing. a. Move the travel control lever a small amount into the "FORWARD" position. b. Return the travel control lever to the

"NEUTRAL" positon.

IMPORTANT: Completely stop the tractor motion before changing the range . The range shift lever must be beyond the

"NEUTRAL" locating pin when in the

"LOW" or "HIGH" range. Gear damage will occur if the lever is not in the correct position.

5. Push the throttle lever forward until you get the needed engine speed. d. Use counterweights or wheel weights when suggested in this oper­ ator's manual.

Decrease engine speed during operation for maximum fuel eHiciency. Do not cause engine lugging. Lugging will cause more than normal heat and damage to the engine.

6. TO USE FORWARD TRAVEL:

"NEUTRAL" position to stop . d. Actuate the brake pedal if the " NEUTRAL" position does not stop the tractor.

Always be careful and look behind when you drive in reverse.

Do not travel in reverse down a hill or ramp . Use reverse travel to move up a hill or ramp . Always use forward travel when you come down a hill or ramp.

11 . The rear wheels can slip or sp i n and an engine overload can occur while you go up a small slope. Turn the front wheels toward the bottom of the hill before the loss of all traction or power.

Do not permit the tractor to move rearward down any slope or hillside. a. A return to forward travel will cause too much torque at the rear wheels . The front wheels can raise off the ground and cause severe injury to the operator.

A

CAUTION: Do not stop or start suddenly when going up­ hill or downhill. Mow down the face of steep slopes; never across or uJ:} the face . (This

ANSI rule modified) b. Turning the front wheels can cause too much thrust to the side . The tractor can roll over and cause severe injury to the operator .

Always use reverse travel to move up a hill or slope . Always use forward travel to move down a hill or slope.

12. Decrease the "travel speed before you turn the tractor.

WARNING: Improper operation of your tractor on hillsides and slopes can be dangerous. Avoid improper operation! Read and follow the instructions given in the section titled "Hillside

Operation" in this manual before operating your tractor.

During operation, the load on the tractor will change . Adjust the position of the travel control lever as required. a. Move the travel control lever nearer to the

"NEUTRAL" position . A

8. The travel control lever controls both speed and power available to the rear wheels of the tractor . b. Decrease the throttle setting. c. Select "LOW" range in the dual range trans axle .

A

CAUTION: Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of con­ trol. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes.

13 . Engage the attachment drive before you put a load on the attachment.

9 . TO ACTUATE BRAKES - Hillside Operation

STORAGE BATTERY

DANGER: Batteries produce explosive charges. Keep sparks. flame and cigarettes away. Ventilate when charg­ ing or using in enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.

CAUTION: Never wear rings or metal watch bands when working with the tractor elec­ trical system or battery as you may ground a live circuit.

2. Make sure the battery is fastened in position. The battery cables must not contact the battery sur­ face except at the connection.

3. Keep the battery in a clean and dry condition.

4. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the battery . If your battery will not keep the cor­ rect specific gravity. replace it. For the correct re­ placement battery see the specification section of this manual.

IMPORTANT : A battery having a specific gravity reading of 1.175 will become frozen at approximately QOF (-18OC).

POISON : Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin • eyes or clothing.

Antidote: EXTERNAL. flush with water; INTERNAL. drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia. beaten egg or ve­ getable oil. Call physician im­ mediately; EYES. flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.

Keep out of reach of children.

CAUTION: When working around storage batteries. re­ member that all of the ex­ posed metal parts are "live".

Never lay a metal object across the terminals as a spark or short circuit may re­ sult. Sparks . lighted matches and exposed flames must be kept away from the battery due to the presence of explo­ sive gas in the battery. The li­ quid in the batteries is acid.

Use care not to spill it on hands or clothing.

ADDING WATER

Always use mineral free or distilled water i n your bat­ tery. When the temperature is 32°F (O°C) or less . im­ mediately charge the battery after adding water. This will mix the water and electrolyte . If the water is not mixed. it will stay on top and become frozen.

ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

ABOVE P TES

FIGURE 16

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. Add distilled water. as required. to keep the water level above the ceil separators. Check at

50 HOUR intervals of operation or every week.

Normal water consumption is 1 ounce (30 ml) every 25 HOURS of operation. More than nor­ mal water consumption indicates: a. a battery with a leak b. a charging system that is charging too much

- 21 ­

Make a weekly check of the electrolyte level.

1. Remove the battery caps .

2. Visually check each cell.

3. Add water before you see the separators.

NOTE: Do not fill too much. Keep the electrolyte level below the base of the filler tubes.

BATTERY CAPS

Always keep the battery caps in place and tight. Make sure the holes in the caps are open. Ventilation must occur to prevent pressure in the cells.

CABLE TERMINALS MJD BATTERY POSTS

Keep the battery terminals clean and tight.

1. Remove all corrosion with a wire brush.

2. Wash with a neutral solution.

3. Apply a thin layer of light grease to prevent corro­ sion.

A

CAUTION: When removing a battery, always disconnect the ( -) negative ground cable first. When installing the bat­ tery, always connect the (-) negative ground cable last.

HOW TO USE JUMPER CABLES AND A

BOOSTER BATTERY

Always wear protective goggles and clothing when you work near batteries. Prevent acid from coming in contact with your skin or clothing.

Connect the jumper cables as shown below. Follow the numbers for the correct sequence of installation.

To remove the jumper cables, reverse the sequence.

IDLE BATTERY

When the tractor is not used regularly, the storage battery will slowly lose voltage. Charge the battery at regular intervals to keep the hydrometer reading at

1.250 or more.

To prevent any possible sparks near the battery:

1. Make sure the last connection is as far as possible from the battery.

2. Do not let the ends of the cables make contact with each other.

3. If the booster battery is on another machine, make sure machines do not make contact.

Always use clean, fresh gasoline and a funnel with a ter. Use regular no-lead gasoline with minimum ctane ratings as follows:

FUEL

Research Method ............................. 90

Motor Method ............ .. .................. 82

Average ..................................... 87

In the United States the average octane rating is shown on gasoline pumps. In other countries, if the method is not given, it is the Research Method. No­ lead fuel leaves less combustion chamber deposits.

Leaded gasoline may be used only if no-lead gasoline is not available.

CAUTION: Handle gasoline with care - it is highly flam­ mable. a. Use approved gasoline container. b. Never remove the fuel cap of, or add gasoline to, a running or hot engine or an engine that has not been allowed to cool for several minutes after running. Never fill the tank indoors and always clean up spilled gasoline. c. Open doors if the engine is run in the garage - ex­ haust fumes are danger­ ous. Do not run the en­ gine indoors.

CAUTION: Never store the equipment 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.

CAUTION: Do not smoke when working near fuel.

Purchase gasoline in small quantities. Fresh gasoline reduces chance of gum deposits forming and clogging the fuel system and ensures a fuel blended for the sea­ son. Do not use gasoline left over from the previous season.

Do not add oil to the gasoline.

If a restriction of fuel occurs, replace the filter and clean the vent in the fill cap.

IMPORTANT: Damage to fuel system components will occur if gasoline containing alco­ hol is used. Use only regular leaded or no lead gasoline which does not contain alcohol. Avoid using gas line de-iceradditives.
