NOTE: If at a highaltitude(above 3000 feet) or in coldtemperatures(below32 F) the carburetorfuel mixturemay need to be adjustedfor best engineperformance. See =TOADJUST CARBURETOR"in the Serviceand Adjustmentssectionof this manual. MOWING TIPS • "13re chainscannotbe used when the mowerhousingis attachedto tractor. • Mowershouldbe properlyleveledfor bestmowingperformance.See =TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING"in the Serviceand Adjustmentssectionof this manual. • The lefthand sideof mowershouldbe usedfor trimming. • Driveso thatclippingsare discharged ontothe area that hasbeen cut. Have the cut area to-the rightof the tractor. This willresultin a more even distribution ofclippingsand more uniformcutting. • When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand tums until finished. • If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard trom dried clippings. 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 clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing. • Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower the best 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. 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 will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulchwithyour highestengine (blade) speed as thiswill providethe best recuttingactionof the blades. Avoidcuttingyourlawn when it iswet. Wet grass tendsto form clumpsand interfereswith the mulchingaction.The best timeto mow yourlawn isthe early ! ,' I I, aftemoon.At this time the grasshas dried and the newlycut area willnot be exposedto the directsun. • For bestresults,adjustthe mowercutting heightsothat the mowercutsoff only the top one-thirdofthe grass blades.

BRAKE OPERATION 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 sectionof this manual). TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 5 of this manual). • Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber. • Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp " objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage. 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. BLADE CARE For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged blades. BLADE REMOVAL • 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. • Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and fiat washer in exact order as shown. • "13ghtenbolt securely (30-35 Ft.

TO SHARPEN BLADE NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade, butif you do, be sure the blade is balanced. Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine. • The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while it is on the mower. • 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. • Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt 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. CenterHole Blade 5/8" Bolt or Pin BATTERY Yourtractorhas a batterychargingsystem whichis sufficientfor normaluse. However,periodicchargingof the battery withan automotivechargerwill extendits life. • Keep battery and terminalsclean. • Keep battery boltstight. • Keep small vent holesopen. • Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.

NOTE: Do not wash the paper cartridge or use pressurized air, as this will damage the cartddge. • Reinstall the pre-cleaner (cleaned and oiled) over the paper cartridge. • Reassemble air cleaner, wing nut, cover and tighten knob securely. CLEAN AIR INTAKFJCOOLING AREAS To insure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are kept clean at all times. Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces as necessary. Make sure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled. NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed will cause engine damage due to overheating. 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 sections. • Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow pointing towards carburetor. • Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clam.ps are properly positioned. _ FUEL FILTER Filter 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 to clean your tractor unless the electrical system, muffler, air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can result in a shortened engine life. MUFFLER Inspectand replacecorrodedmufflerand sparkarrester(if equipped)as itcouldcreate a fire hazard and/or damage.

"_'_" TO START ENGINE THAT HAS A WEAK BATTERY _CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries. If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. If "jumper cables" are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: IMPORTANT: Your tractor is equipped with a 12 volt negativ e grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12 volt negative grounded system. Do not use your tractor battery to start other vehicles. \ TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES • Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of each battery, taking care not to short against chassis. • Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of fully charged battery. • Connect the other end of the BLACK cabk_to goed CHASSIS GROUND, away from fuel tank and battery. Headlight Wire Connector INTERLOCKS AND RELAYS Loose or damaged wiring may cause your tractor to run poody, stop running, or prevent it from starting. • Check wiring. See electrical widng diagram in the Repair Parts section of this manual. 25 TOREPLACE FUSE Replace with30ampautomotive-type plug-in fuse.Thefuseholder islocated behind thedash. ENGINE TO ADJUST THROI"FLE CONTROL CABLE The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: • With engine not running, move throttle control lever from slow to choke position. Slowly move lever from choke to fast position. • Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed control bracket are aligned. • If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" ddll bit through both holes. • Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drill bit. TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows: In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fueVair mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fueVair mixture. -, IMPORTANT: Damage tothe needlesand the seatsincarburetor may result ifneedleisturnedintootight. NOTE: The carburetoron thisengine is low emission.Itisequippedwithan idle fueladjusting needlewitha limiter cap, which allowssome adjustmentwithinthe limits allowedby thecap. Do notattempt to remove the limiter cap.The limiter cap cannot be removed withoutbreakingthe adjusting needle. • Be sure you have a clean air filter and the tl=vr_ttecontrol cable is adjusted properly (see above). • Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position. • Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM. If engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is attained. • Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Tum needle to a point midway between those two positions. • Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary. ACCELERATION TEST • Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 rum. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly. High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result. IMPORTANT: Never tamper with 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.
