For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth. Move throttle control to slow position. NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to "backfire". • HEIGHT The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 to 4". 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. GROUND DRIVE o • CUTTING The position of the attachment cutting height.

An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventuat damage to mower and engine° nar_ceo BRAKE OPERATION TIRES Maintain proper air pressure in ali tires (See "PROD° UCT SPEC!FICATIONS" on page 3 of this manual). o Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect controt chernicats which can harm rubber., o Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage. (See Fig. 12) The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower. if tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted. (See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual)o o BLADE -- To check blade balance, you wit! need a 5/8" diameter stee_ bolt, pin.°or a cone baiancer. (When using a cone balancer, fotlow the instructions supplied with baF o Stide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel b0Jt or pin and ho_dthe bolt or pin paraJtel 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 btade is balanced. NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not. NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts deater. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and CENTER HOLE corrosion. BLADE CARE For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. place bent or damaged blades. BLADE o REMOVAL Re- (See Fig. 11) Raise mower to highest position to allow access to blades. Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing blade. Install new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up towards deck as shown. FIG. 12 Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer in exact order as shown. BATTERY -_ Tighten bolt securely (30-35 Ft. Lbs. torque). iMPORTANT: BLADE BOLT IS GRADE 8 HEATTREATED. Your tractor has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the batter,! with an automotive charger will extend its life. NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if 4ou do, be sure the blade is balanced. * Keep battery and terminals clean. Keep battery bolts tight. Keep small vent holes open. o Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour. TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause the battery to "leak" power.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oit level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. 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. Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

However, minor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adiustment, proceed as follows: In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/ air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture. IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE THE SEAT IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT TURNED IN TOO TIGHT, PRELIMINARY VALVE AND IF SCREW IS iDLE MIXTURE VALVE FiG. 30 SETTING - Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carburetor when making carburetor adjustments. o = iMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER W_TH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/ DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. \ \ TEST Move throttle cor_trol lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idJe mixture valve out (counterctockw se) 1/8 turn Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, untif engine accelerates smoothly. Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above). With engine off turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclockwise) 1 full turn. 26 STORAGE ENGINE mmmediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more. ab_iding _-each an open flame or spark.

ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE _N STORAGE° Drain the fuel tank. Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thorougHy, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area. - Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual). , inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See beit replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). o Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual. Star the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Never use engine or ca_uretor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Use fresh fueJ next season. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable aJternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storo. age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fueJ tank or storage container. Always fottow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least t0 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor° Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fue! stabilizer° 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 oi! (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibiiities section of this manual)° BATTERY ® Fully charge the battery for storage. * After a period of time in storage, battery may require recharging. - o * CYLINDERS Remove spark plug(s). To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during long periods of storage, battery cables should be disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see 'q'O CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Customer Responsibitities section of this manual). o Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s). o Turn ignition key to"START" position 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. OTHER Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached. o Do not store gasoline from one season to another. If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces. ® Replace your gasotine can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline wilJ cause probiemSo o 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. P!astic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and will cause your tractor to rust.
