NOTE: Perform mower removal and installation on a hard, level surface such as a concrete floor. 1. Turn the front wheels of the tractor full left. 2.
Operation CHECKS BEFORE STARTING 1. Make sure you have proper wheel or counterweights installed if required. See Slope Operation in the Safety Rules section. Make sure any slopes are within required limits. 2. Check that crankcase is filled to full mark on dipstick. See the engine Operator’s Manual for instructions and oil recommendations. 3. Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws and pins are in place and tight. 4. Make sure you can reach all controls from operator’s positions. If not, see SEAT ADJUSTMENT. 5.
Operation PUSHING THE TRACTOR-BY HAND 4. On hydro model, release the parking brake by depressing the brake pedal (A, figure Et), then press down on either pedal (I or J, figure 2) for the desired direction and speed of travel. On gear model, fully depress clutch/brake pedal (A, figure 8) to release the parking brake and disengage the clutch. Use the gear selector (I, figure 3) to select the gear best suited for conditions, then slowly release clutch/brake pedal to engage clutch and start tractor in motion.
Mowing Patterns & lips GENERAL l For the first use of the mower, choose a smooth level area. Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly. The size and type of area to be mowed determines the best mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings must also be considered. Where possible, make one or two passes in a counterclockwise direction around the outside of the area to keep the cut grass off fences and walks.
Mowing Patterns & lips l l Change the mowing pattern each time. The Best Combination If mulching baffles are removed, the original deflector must be in operating position for safe side-discharge mowing. We recommend that you experiment with the height of cut position and tractor ground speed that will give you the best cut. Start with a higher cutting height and try increasing lower settings until you find a cutting height that is matched to your mowing conditions and preferences.
Normal Care SCHEDULE The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower. You will need to keep a record of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter. * See the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual. * * Change original engine oil after first 5 hours of operation.
NormalCare CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE Front tire pressure should be 12 - 15 psi (82 - 103 kPa). Rear tire pressure should be 10 - 12 psi (56 - 82 kPa). CHECKING FUEL FILTER The fuel filter is located in fuel line between fuel tank and carburetor. If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows. Place a container below filter to catch spilled gasoline. A WARNING Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps further than necessary.
Normal Care TRANSAXLE - HYDRO MODELS The hydro transaxle is a sealed unit. The transaxle is filled with oil and does not require any further lubrication unless a service overhaul is performed BATTERY MAINTENANCE Checking the Battery Fluid 1. Raise the seat by tilting it forward to gain access to the battery. A WARNING Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks awav from the batterv. Figure 13. Battery A. Positive Battery Terminal C. Battery Cap B.
NormalCare SERVICING THE MOWER BLADES A WARNING For your personal safety, do not handle the sharp mower blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling of blades may result in serious injury. 1. Remove mower from the tractor. Sea Mower Installation & Removal. 2. Blades should be sharp and free of nicks and dents. If not, sharpen blades as described in following steps. 3. To remove blade for sharpening, use wooden block to hold blade while removing the blade mounting capscrew (figure 14). 4.
Storage A WARNING Never store the tractor, with gasoline in engine or fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly ventilated enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion. Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could result in serious fire damage to your person or property. Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away from ooen flame or SDSrkS.
Troubleshooting & Repair GENERAL 2. Carburetor adjusted incorrectly. See engine manual. This section of the manual provides troubleshooting and repair instructions for the more common and easily corrected problems. For other problems, it is recommended that you contact your dealer. 3. Spark plug faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped. Clean and gap or replace. See engine manual. A Engine knocks. 1. Low oil level. Check/add oil as required. WARNING 2. Using wrong grade oil. See engine manual.
Troubleshootina & Repair Mower drive belt slips or fails to drive. Tractor will not move with transmission in forward or reverse position. 1. Brake is not fully released. See Brake Adjustments. 2. Transmission release lever (hydro models) not fully in drive position. See Pushing The Tractor By Hand. TROUBLESHOOTING THE MOWER Mower cut is uneven. 1. Tractor tires not inflated equally or properly. See Normal Care. 2. Mower not leveled properly. See Mower Adjustment. Mower cut is rough looking. 1.
Troubleshooting & Repair 6. Connect the second cable negative (-) to other post of booster battery. 6. Charae the batten/ until fullv charoed (i.e. until the specific gravity ofihe electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60” F). The best method of making certain a battery is fully charged, but not over charged, is to measure the specific gravity of a cell once per hour. The battery is fully charged when the cells are gassing freely at low charging rate and less than 0.
