Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and

SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control
and
tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
DO:
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove vu_t,=_.,_s^_'^'^^'_
such as rocks, tree _;_h
,,,,,_,s, 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 counterweights 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 slowand gradual Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
,
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.

WARNING:
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. To avoid 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. See Storage Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or

KEEP
MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUtLT_UP GRASS AND
TRASH CLEAN AFTER EACH USE,
o The special mu_ching blade wifi recut the grass cfip
pings 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
blades.
o Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching aclion.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area
wm
lu_ be exposed to _'_
"'"" l_---_
u_ "_......
u._uL sun.
,_ For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that
the mower cuts off only the top oneqhird of the grass
blades (See Fig. t3). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.
o Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to corn o
pletely 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 wi!l help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.
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 trim..Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut° Have the cut area to the right of the
machine This wilt 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 will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making !eft hand turns unti!
finished (See Fig. 12).
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried ctippings_. 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 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.

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities
section of this manual).
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 Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).
Never use engine or carburetor cieaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptaMe alternative in
minimizing the formation of fue_ 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 bast !0 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuei stabilizer.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
