Discharge Guard trailer, be sure hood is closed and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.). without either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the discharge guard in place. TO OPERATE ON HILLS _CAUTION: Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 15° and do not drive across any slope. Use the slope guide provided at the back of this manual. ,, Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills. o Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. • If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever to slower position. TOWING CARTS ATTACHMENTS AND OTHER Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the 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 STARTING THE ENGINE CHECK ENGaNE OiL LEVEL 14 o The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factob/, already fitted with summer weight oiL o Check engine oil with tractor on level transmission engaged position. o Sit _ _at in _8,_; _r,,, @_ dut_rake _1 and _t _r'dng brake. o Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position. Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position. Move throttle control to choke position. NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below. ,, 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 ........ "^" 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) ,, 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. COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50 ° F and below) • 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. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP ,, Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission should be warmed up as follows: • Be sure the tractor is on level ground. • Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release the parking brake and let the clutch!brake slowly return to operating position. o Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This can be done during the engine warm up period. • The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period after the transmission has been warmed up. NOTE: At a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be ,, Remove oil fil! cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsed the dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil ievel. If necessary, add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not ovediJJ. ,, For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART' in the Maintenance section of this manual). To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in this manual. ADD GASOLINE ,, Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, dean, 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 ,_d weather starting. WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohot 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 fue! 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 carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. _CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler neck. Do not ovedill. 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. ,, Be sure freewheel control is in the 15 adjusted forbestengine performance. See"TOADJUST CARBURETOR" inthe Service andAdjustments section ofthis manual PURGE TRANSMISSION CAUTION: Never engage or disengage freewheel lever while the engine is running. TO ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended that the transmission be purged before operating tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any trapped air inside the transmission which may have developed during shipping of your tractor. IMPORTANT: Should your transmission require removal for service or replacement, it should be purged after reinstallation before operating the tractor. ,, Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual). ,, Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal. ,, Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this procedure three (3) times. NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive system. o Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut off engine and set parking brake. • Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual). , Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal. o Slowly move motion contro_ lever forward; after the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move motion control lever to reverse position. After the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this pro ° cedure with the motion control lever three (3) times° o Your tractor is now purged and ready for normal operation. MOWING TIPS ,, Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor. o Mower shoufd be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manua!, The !eft hand side of mower shoutd be used for trimming° Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will resuJt 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 left hand turns until finished. ,, if 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. 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 f weII 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.

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 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 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 position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced. ,, 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 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. BLADE REMOVAL , Raise mower to highest position to allow access to blades. Remove hex bolt, lock washer and f!at washer securing blade.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be neco essaq#. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: With engine not running, move throttle control lever from slow to choke position Slowly move lever from choke to fast position. o Check to see if ho_e in throttle lever and hole in speed control bracket are aligned. , If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit through both holes. • Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drill bit. TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessaPy. However, minor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows: In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture. iMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and the seats in carburetor may result if needle is turned in too tight Idle _j s_t_ o With throttle control lever in s!ow position, engine shoutd idle at 1750 RPM If engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out unti! correct idle is ab rained. Idle fuel - With throttle control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle to a point midway between those two positions. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessat'y. _bbLL_CL_RI l%Jl'_ I _O I " Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position, if engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly. High speed stop is factory adjusted. 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/department, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments. Cable Clamp __ Screw Speed Control 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. Be sure you have a clean air filter and the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above). Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position. _ll _.___/._ Brackei_ Throttle Lever tdle Speed ,diost,o0 Screw _ _. :-----....__L,_ !

Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. TRACTOR Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. This will a!!ow you to c!ean it thor° oughly. Remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual). 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. - If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces. ENGINE 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 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. on Drain the fuet 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 fue! next season. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits dudng 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). CYLINDER(S) Remove spark plug(s). , Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s). Turn ignition key to "START" position for a few seconds to distribute oil. e Replace with new spark plug(s). OTHER ,, Do not store gasoline from one season to another. • Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems. 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. ff_PORTANT: Never cover tractor while engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
