SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to Ioasof-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 obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. • Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overtum the machine. Taft grass can hide obstacles. • Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you wifl 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 slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. • Avoid.starting or stopping on a slope. If tires inse traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly strsight.down the slope. DO NOT: • Do nottum on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. • Do notmow near dropoffs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could soddenly tum over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. • Do no g__mowon wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. SERVICE • Use extra care In handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved container. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.

I HOWTOUSEYOURTRACTOR Yourtractor isequipped withan operator • Never use choke to stop engine. IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than =OFF" will cause the battery to be discharged, (dead). NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause =browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas. A CAUTION: Always stop tractor completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc. THROTrLE CONTROL Always operate engine at full throttle. • Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the battery charging rate. • Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower performance. TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD The direction and speed of movement is presence sensing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.

Use an appropriate means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.). BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL • The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with summer weight oil. • Check engine oil with tractor on level ground. • Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill. • 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, 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. / Guard TO OPERATE ON HILLS ACAUTION: DO not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 15= and do not drive across any slope. A slope guide at the back of your manual is provided for your use. • Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills. • Avoldstopping or changing speed on hills. AWARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids dudng 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 end lot it run until _ 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. corltrol lever to slower position.

Do not ovedgl. Wlpe 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 flint 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 perking brake. • Place gear shift 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 tum 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 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) • 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° FAND BELOW) • When enginestarts,allow engineto run with.th.e Jhrottlecontrolin the choke positionuntilthe engine runsroughly, then movethrottle controlto fast position.This may requirean enginewarmup periodfrom severalsecondsto several minutes,dependingon thetemperature. • The attachmentscan also be used duringthe enginewarm-upperiod. NOTE: If at a highaltitude(above3000 feet) or in coldtemperatures(below32 F) the carburetor fuel mixturemay need to be adjustedfor best enginepedormance. See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR"In the Se_and Adjustmentssectionof this manual. NOTE: At a high elUtude(above3000 feet) or In coldtemperatures(below32 F) the carburetor fuel mixturemay needto be adjustedfor bestengine performance. See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR"in the Service andAdjustmentssectionofthis manual. MOWING TIPS • Tim chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor. • Mower should be pmpedy leveled for best mowing pedormance. 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 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, stad 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 pedormance as well as the quality of cut desired. • When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best pedormance of the attachment being used. 15 MULCHING MOWING TIPS IMI_DRTAI/T: Forhest perlormance, keep mower housingfree of built-upgrass and trash. Clean after each use. • The specialmulchingbladewillrecut the grassclippingsmany timesand reducethem in size so that as they fall ontothe lawn they willdisperseintothe grass and not be noticed.Also, the mulchedgrasswillbiodegradequickly to providenutdantsfor the lawn. Alwaysmulchwith yourhighestengine (blade)speed as this willprovidethe bestrecuttingactionof the blades. • Avoidcuttingyourlawn when it is wet. Wet grasstendsto form clumpsand interfereswith the mulchingaction. The besttimeto mowyourlawn is the early afternoon.At this timethe grass has driedand the newlycutarea willnot be exposedto the directsun. • Forbest results,adjustthe mowercuttingheightsothat the mower cutsoff onlythe top one-thirdof the grass blades. Forextremelyheavymulching, reduceyourwidthof cut on each pass and mow slowly. • Certaintypasof gress and gressconditionsmay requirethatan area he mulched a secondtime to completely hidethe clippings. When doinga Sac" ondcut, mowacrossor perpendicularto the firstcut path. • Change yourcuttingpatternfromweek to week. Mow northto southone week then change to east to westthe next week. This willhelp preventmatting and grainingof the lawn. 16 CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES FILL IN DATES AS YOU COMPLETE REGULAR ATES SERVICE _o P_, iV' Check Operat or PzeS(n_ _ T _ede_ _ R _ _orLee_ Fat=._== V" V' I/ V', It/ Sharpen/Replace Mower Blades IIf4 T _bri_ I/' I/ O Check Battely _ I_ R _ Lm/el Clean Batter/and Check Trar,.saxla Terrnlnats Cooling Adjust Blade Belt(s) Tension Ad)u=t Motion Drive Belt(s) Check Engine O11 Level Change E ik_ Claan Engine (l_l Tension Ks ti_ V _ Oil V*t._ Air Filter N Claan_r Screen G _1_ V*= I/= Inspect Muffier/_ark Nrester Rep4ace Oil Filter Of equipped) I1_1.= N CieenEnglne Cooling Fins Replace Spark Plug Replace Air Filter Paper I,/= I_ Cartridge , V*= Replace FuelRlter GENERAL LUBRICATION RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have bonn subjected to operator abuse or negligence.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM Be sure that operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your tractor does not function as descdbed 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 perking 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 ee_;t should shut off the engine. • The attachment clutch should never operate unless the operat6r is in the seat. BLADE CARE For bestresultsmowerbladesmusthe kept sharp. Replace bentor damaged blades. BLADE REMOVAL • Raise mowerto highestpositionto allow access to blades. • Remove hex bolt,lockwasher and fiat w_r securingblade. • Installnow or resharpenedbladewith 18 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 gdnding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while it is on the mower. • To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter steel belt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cons 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 hodzontai position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced. BATTERY Yourtractor has8 battery charging system whichissufficient fornormal use. However, periodic charging ofthebattery withanautomotive charger willextend its life. • Keepbattery and terminals clean. • Keep battery bolts tigM. • Keep small vent holes open. • Recharge at 6-10 amperes for I hour. TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminale can cause the battery to "leak" power. • Remove terminal guard. • Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED battery cable and remove battery from tractor. • Rinse the battery with plain water and dry. • Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush until bdght. • Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly. • Reinstall battery (See "REPLACING BATTERY" in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual).

Slowly move lever from choke to fast position. • Check that holes "A• in govemor control lever and hole in governor plate line-up. If holes "A"am not aligned, loosen clamp screw and move throttle cable until holes are aligned. Tighten clamp screw 25 S(_'U roly, Governor CorrbolLever Qovernor ControlPlate Clamp Screw Holes"A" Idle Speed Screw Throltle Lever Throttle Cable TO ADJUST CARBURETOR NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a lirniter cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limitar 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. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows: In general, taming 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 dcher 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 • Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carburetor when maldng carburetor adjustments. • Be sure the throttle control cable is acljusted properly (see above). :INAL SETTING • Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position. 26 Um_r • Move throttle control lever to slow position. With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM. • Move throttle control lever to slow position. With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM. • While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, rum 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 • Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, tum idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) 1/8 tum. 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 govemor, which is factory set for proper engine speed, overapeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous, if you think the engine-govemed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest authorized service center, which has proper equipment to make any necessary adjustments.
