OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to lossof-control and tipover accidents, which
can result in severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution, tf you cannot
back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on
it, do not mow it.
DO:
o Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
° Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven
terrain could overturn 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.
° Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for wheel weights or counter-weights to improve stability.
• Use extra care with grass catchers or
other attachments.
These can change
the stability of the machine.
° Keep all movement on the slopes slow
and gradual° Do not make sudden
changes in speed or direction.
° Avoid starting or stopping on a slope, tf
tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
DO NOT:
° Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,
and then, turn slowly and gradually
downhill, if possible.
• Do not mow near drop-ells, ditches, or
embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is ever the
edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge
caves in.
° Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
traction could cause sliding.

RNING: Experience indicates that
alcohol blended 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. "[b avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the engine and

MOWING
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.
TIPS
° T_re 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 tile
Service and Adjustments
section of this
manual.
= The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
° Ddve 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.
• When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings well discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc_ After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
left hand turns until finished
° If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippingSr

TO SHARPEN BLADE
NOTE; We do not recommend sharpening
blade, but if 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 baF
anGer).
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing
blade. The lobes of the center hole may
appear to be centered, but are not.
o Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion
o_ 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.
Be sure that operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your
tractor does not function as described
below, repair the problem immediately.
• The engine should not start unless the
clutch/brake
pedal is fully depressed
and attachment clutch control is in the
disengaged position°
, When the engine is running, any
attempt by the operator 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.
BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be
kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged
blades.

TO ADJUSTCARBURETOR
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 timiter 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 necessary. However, minor adjustment may be
required to compensate
for differences in
fuel, temperature,
altitude or load. tf 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
fuel 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 tever 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
positions. Release throttle lever.ACCELERATION TEST o Move throttle control lever from slow to
fast position, tf engine hesitates or dies,
turn idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise)
t/8 turn. Repeat test and
continue to adjust, if necessary, until
engine accelerates
smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjuste& 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, which has proper equipment to make any necessary adjustments.

_CAUTION:
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.
° Drain the fuel tank.
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

in
• 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
rue1 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,

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT;
It 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,
experience indicates that alcohol blended
form and cause your tractor to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover tractor while
