TO START ENGINE ATTACHMENTS Tow only the attacl_ments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of tile manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous, Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor. BEFORE CHECK STARTING ENGINE THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL • The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already fitied with summer weight oil. • Check engine oil with tractor on level ground. , Unthread and remove oil fill cap/ dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into t!_e tube and rest oll flit cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. Remove and read oil level, it necessary, add otl until "FULU' mark on dipstick is reached, Do not overfill. o For c01d weather operation you should change 0il for easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" tn the Maintenance section of this manual), ° To change engine oil, see the Malntenance section In this manual, When starting timeenglne 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" posltlon_ ° Move throttle control to choke position. NOTE." Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below, ° Insert key Into lgnltton 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 tile 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, ADD GASOLINE o Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline witll a minimum of B7 octane: (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and Iead oxide deposits and reduce valve life), Do not mix ol] with gasoline, Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel fresh- WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above) o When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast position. • 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. hess, IMPORTANT; When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help Insure good cold weather startlngo _lb WARNING: Exp.erlence indicates that alcohol bleneed fuels [callea gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which teads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and I4 below) . When engine starts, allow engine to run with the tllrottle control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast position, Tl_is may require an engine warm-up period from severat seconds to several mtnutes, depending on the temperature, • The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period. NOTE.' If at a tllgh 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 "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments sectton of this manual. ° When operating attachments, select a ground speed tlqat will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used. f -,, 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 wilt recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them tn size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will blodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for tl_e lawn, Always mulch with your highest engtne (blade) speed as this will provide tile best recuttlng action of the blades, • Avold cutttng 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 afternoon. At this t}me the grass has dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the dlrebt sun, ° For best results, adjust the mower cutting helght so that the mower cuts otf only the top One-third of the grass blades. For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your wldtll of out on each pass and mow slowly. ° Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time td completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path. • Change your cutting pattern from week to week° Mow north to south one week then change to east to west tile next week. This will help prevent matting and gralnlng of the lawn. MOWING TIPS - Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor. • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance, See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" In the Service and Adjustments section of this manual, ° The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming, • Drive so tllat clippings are discharged onto the area thathas been cut, Have the cut area to the right of the tractor° This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. o When mowlng large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings wllf dtscllarge away from shrubs, fenceS, driveways, eto, After one or two rounds, mow In the opposite direction maklng left hand turns until finished. ° If grass ls extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively htglt; 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 mowlng. - Always operate engine at full throttle wllen mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material, Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired, Max !/3" 15 AS YOU COMPLETE .,___,_'q.
