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. "1oavoid 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.
14
See Storage Instructions for additional
information° Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or pernent damage may occur.,
CAUTION:
Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck,. Do not overfill Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame,.
TO START ENGINE
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.
o Sit on seat in operating position,
depress clutch/brake pedal and set
parking brake.
o Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.
o Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position°
o Move throttle control to choke position.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm
and cold starting procedures below.
o Insert key into ignition and turn 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, 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.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F
AND ABOVE)
o When engine starts, move the throttle
control to the fast position.
o 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.
MOWIING
TIIPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
o Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance°
See 'qO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual.
o The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming°
o 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,
o When mowing large areas, start by turn-,
ing to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etco After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
left hand turns until finished
f
o tf grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height°
o Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing_
o 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.
o When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the attachment being used_
COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50 ° F AND
BELOW)
o 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 position_ This may require an engine warmup period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.
o The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period°
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 'q'O ADJUST CARBURETOR"

MULCHINGMOWINGTIPS
Max 1/3
IMPORTANT;
For best perfomlance,
keep mower housing free of built-up grass
and trash. Clean after each use.
o 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 mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blade&
• 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
aftemoono At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will not be
exposed to the direct sun.
o For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that the mower cuts off
only the top one-third of the grass
blades° For' extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass
and mow stowly.
o Certain types of grass and grass conditions 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.
o 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 lawno

TRACTOR
Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.
TO SHARPEN BLADE
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening
blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is
balanced.
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 section of this manual)°
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.
o 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).
• 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 positiorL If either end of the blade
moves downward, sharpen the heavy
end until the blade 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.
Center Hole
TIRES
o 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.
o Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is
low emission, it is equipped with an idle
fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,
which allows some adjustment within the
limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt
to remove the limiter cap° The limiter cap
cannot be removed without breaking the
adjusting needle.
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessan/. However, minor adjustment may be
required to compensate for differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or toad. if the
carburetor does need adjustment, 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
fuet to the engine giving a richer'fuel/air
mixture.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve
and the seat in carburetor may result if
screw is turned in too tight.
PRELIMINARY
SETTING
• While still holding throttle lever against
idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve
full travel clockwise then counterclockwise until engine runs rough. Turn valve
to a point midway between those two

fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,
turn idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and
continue to adjust, if necessary, until
engine accelerates smoothly.

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, which has proper equipment to make any necessary adjustments.

,_kOAUTION:
Never store the tractor 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_
TRACTOR
Remove mower from tractor for winter
storage. This will allow you to clean it thoroughty. Remove all dirt, grease, leaves,
etco Store in a clean, dry area.
• Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
o Inspect and replace belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement instructions in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual)°
o 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.
° Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting°
BATTERY
• Fully charge the battery for storage.
• After a period of time in storage, battery
may require recharging_
° To help prevent corrosion and power
leakage during long periods of storage,
battery cables should be disconnected
and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
,, After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place cables where they cannot
come in contact with battery terminals.
o If battery is removed from tractor for
storage, do not store battery directly on
concrete or damp surfaces.
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.
o Drain 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 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 drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDERS
o Remove spark plug(s).
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).
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another°
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts to
rusL Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline
will cause problems.
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. Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation to
form and cause your tractor to rust.
fMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: tt 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,
