Check engine oil with tractor on level around. 2. Hemove oil fill cap/dipstickand wipe clean, reinsertthe dipstickand screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil revel If necessary, add oil until =FULL" mark on dipstickis reached. Do not overfill. • For cold weather operationyou should change oil for easier starting(See =OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the Maintenance sectionof this manual), • To change engine oil, see the Maintenance sectionin this manual. ADD GASOLINE • Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness. IMPORTANT: When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting. _WARNING: Experience indicatesthat alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or usingethanol 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, startthe engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh rue{ next season. See Storage Instruc_tons for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cteaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may ur. _CCAUTION: Fill to bottomof gas tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe offany spilledoil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. TO START ENGINE When startingthe enginefor thefirsttimeor if the enginehas runoutof fuel, itwitltake extracrankingtimeto movefuel from the tankto the engine. 1, Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake. 2.

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) 6. 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. COLDWEATHER STARTING( 50° F and below) 6. When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttlecontrol in the choke position until the eng{ne runs roughly,then move throttle controlto fast position. This may require an engir_e warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature. • The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up pedod. NOTE: If at a highaltitude(above3000 feet) or in cok:ltemperatures(below32 F) the carburetorfuel mixturemay needto be adjustedfor bestengineperformance. See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR"inthe ServiceandAdjustments sectionofthis manual. 15 MOWING "lIPS • Tire chains cannot be used when Ihe mower housing is attached lo tractor. • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustmentssection of this manual. • The left hand side of mower shouldbe used for trimming. • Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to t_e rightof the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. • When mowing large areas, slart 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 d)raction making left hand turns until finished. • if grass is extremely tall, it shouldbe mowed twice to reduce load and possiblefire bazar_ from 0(=ed clippings. Make first cut relatively hi_h; 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 throtUe when mowing to assure bettermowing performance and proper dischargeof material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performanceas well as the quality of cut desired. • When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and g)ve best pedormance of the attachment being used. f 16 MAI rrENANCE SCHEOULE Chec_TireP,es_ure T R, CheCk Opera i_" Preserve I Interio<_ SySlen_ I I/ t/ and CheCkforLO{_e Fasleners _/ b/' (_'_ Sharpen/ReplaCeMower Blades V r, T Lu_ncatio_ Ch_ S R V' I/' Check BatieryLevel Clean Batieryand Terminals _ CheCk TransaxreCocking Adtust BladeBelial TenSion I_s AdtustMC4;C_ Drive Be/t(s)Ten_icn Check Engine O.

Check operator presence and interlocksystems for proper operation. 5, Check for loose fasteners. _SAE OR 10W30MOTOROIL _)REFER TO MAINTENANCE =ENGINE" SECTION IMPORTANT*" DO not oilor grease the pivot points which have special nylon bearings, Viscous lubricantswill attract dust and dirt that will shortenthe life of the seff-lubricafin_beadngs. If you feel they must be lubncated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant 17 sparingly. TRACTOR Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance. BRAKE OPERATION If tractor requiresmore than six (6) feet stopping distance at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adiusted. (See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Sewlce and Adjustmentssection of this menuat). TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section 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. OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your tractor does not function as described, repair the problem immediately. ,, The engine should not start un(ess the clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed and attachement clotch control is in the disengaged position. • When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat withoutfirst 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 cperate unless the operator is in the seat. BLADECARE For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged blades. BLADE REMOVAL 3. Install new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up towards deck as shown. IMPORTANT: To ensureproperassembly, center hole in blade must align with star on mandrel assembly. 4. Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer in exact order as shown. 5.

Lock Wsshe *A Grade8 heattreatedbolt canbe identified bysix lines on the bolt head. TO SHARPEN BLADE NOTE; We do not recommendsharpening 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 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 betsncer, 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 on to an unthreaded portionof the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If blade is balanced, it shouldremain in a horizontalposition. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced. / // 1, Raise mower to highest position to allow access to blades. 2. Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing blade. 18 Center Hole BATrERY Yourtractorhas a battery charging system which is sufficientfor normal use.
