SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.Stop  
WARNING: In order to prevent ac-  
cidental starting when setting up,  
transporting, adjusting or making  
repairs, always disconnect spark  
plug wire and place wire where it  
cannot contact spark plug.  
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.  
Nevercarrychildren.Theymayfalloffandbeseriouslyinjured  
or interfere with safe machine operation.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful  
care of another responsible adult.  
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill  
in neutral, you may lose control of  
the tractor.  
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small  
children.  
WARNING: Tow only the attach-  
ments that are recommended by  
and comply with specifications of  
the manufacturer of your tractor.  
Use common sense when towing.  
Operate only at the lowest possible  
speed when on a slope. Too heavy  
of a load, while on a slope, is dan-  
gerous. Tires can lose traction with  
the ground and cause you to lose  
control of your tractor.  
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn  
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.  
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,  
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the  
slope.  
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift  
into reverse and back down slowly.

OPERATION  
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which  
can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while op-  
erating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide  
vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.  
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY  
POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY  
HOW TO USEYOUR TRACTOR  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 5)

Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.  
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.  
FIG. 6  
TO OPERATE ON HILLS  
WARNING: Do not drive up or down  
hills with slopes greater than 15° and  
do not drive across any slope.  
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

OPERATION  
MOWING TIPS  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or  
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing  
is attached to tractor.  
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which  
leads to separation and formation of acids during stor-  
age. Acidicgascandamagethefuelsystemofanengine  
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.  
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-  
formance. SeeTO LEVEL MOWER HOUSINGin the  
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.  
The left hand side of mower should be used for trim-  
ming.  
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.  
Whenmowinglargeareas,startbyturningtotherightso  
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. 7 ).  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)  
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 “DISENGAGED” position.  
Move throttle control to choke position.  
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
InsertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwisetoSTART”  
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.  
00272  
FIG. 7  
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.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the  
fast position.  
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 mow-  
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper  
discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-  
lecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting  
performance as well as the quality of cut desired.  
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 posi-  
tion.This may require an engine warm-up period from  
several seconds to several minutes, depending on the  
temperature.  
When operating attachments, select a ground speed  
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of  
the attachment being used.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 9)  
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if  
you do, be sure the blade is balanced.  
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to  
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local  
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and  
corrosion.  
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An un-

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM  
Besureoperatorpresenceandinterlocksystemsarework-  
ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,  
repair the problem immediately.  
The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grind-  
ing wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the  
mower.  
The engine should not start unless the clutch/brake  
pedalisfullydepressedandattachementclutchcontrol  
is in the disengaged position.  
Whentheengineisrunning,anyattemptbytheoperator  
to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake  
should shut off the engine.  
When the engine is running and the attachment clutch  
is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the  
seat should shut off the engine.  
The attachment clutch should never operate unless  
the operator is in the seat.  
To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter  
steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a  
cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with  
balancer.)  
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of  
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.  
Slidebladeontoanunthreadedportionofthesteelbolt  
or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.  
If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal  
position. If either end of the blade moves downward,  
sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

MAINTENANCE  
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)  
BATTERY  
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils  
will result in increased oil consumption when used above  
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid  
possible engine damage from running low on oil.  
Yourtractorhasabatterychargingsystemwhichissufficient  
for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery  
with an automotive charger will extend its life.  
Keep battery and terminals clean.  
Keep battery bolts tight.  
Keep small vent holes open.  
Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.  
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least  
once a year if the tractor is not used for 25 hours in one  
year.  
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine  
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill  
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.  
NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is  
maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps  
or covers. Adding or checking level of electrolyte is not  
necessary.  
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 10 and 11)  
Determine temperature range expected before oil change.  
All oil must meet API service classification SF-SJ.  
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS  
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause  
the battery to “leak” power.  
Be sure tractor is on level surface.  
Oil will drain more freely when warm.  
Catch oil in a suitable container.  
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt  
to enter the engine when changing oil.  
Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED bat-  
tery cable and remove battery from tractor.  
Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.

MAINTENANCE  
CLEAN AIR SCREEN  
IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 12)  
Air screen must be kept free of dirt and chaff to prevent  
engine damage from overheating. Clean with a wire brush  
or compressed air to remove dirt and stubborn dried gum  
fibers.  
The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel  
filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor,  
replacement is required.  
With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sec-  
tions.  
Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow  
pointing towards carburetor.  
Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are  
properly positioned.  
Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.  
AIR FILTER  
Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter.  
Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.See  
Engine Manual.  
MUFFLER  
Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester  
(if equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or dam-  
age.  
CLAMP  
CLAMP  
SPARK PLUGS  
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing  
season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever  
occurs first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in

CLEANING  
Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign  
matter.  
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,  
oil, etc.  
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.  
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure  
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-  
mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or  
transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use  
compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves  
and trash from tractor and mower.

orspark. Allowtheenginetocoolbefore  
storing in any enclosure.  
TRACTOR  
Empty the fuel tank by starting 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.  
Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower  
istobestoredforaperiodoftime,cleanitthoroughly,remove  
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.  
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-  
mizing 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 empty  
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-  
placement 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.  
ENGINE OIL  
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-  
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of  
this manual).  
BATTERY  
CYLINDER(S)  
Fully charge the battery for storage.  
Remove spark plug(s).  
After a period of time in storage, battery may require  
recharging.  
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into  
cylinder(s).  
To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during  
long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis-  
connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO  
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
Turn ignition key to “STARTposition for a few seconds  
to distribute oil.  
Replace with new spark plug(s).  
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.  
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: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILEENGINE AND  
EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
