+/$ + % , (Fig. 13) Ċ The left and right brake pedals are connected to the left and right front wheels. Since both brakes work independently of each other, the brakes can be used to turn sharply or to increase traction if one wheel tends to slip while operating on certain slope conditions. However, wet grass or soft turf could be damaged when brakes are used to turn sharply. To make a quickĆstop", depress both brake pedals together.

Release key when engine starts. The key will move automatically to the ON position. To shut engine off, rotate key counterclockwise to the OFF position. (Fig. 15) Ċ To start engine, close carburetor choke by pulling choke control upward.
Ensure parking brake is set, PTO switch is in OFF position and lift lever is in TRANSPORT or FLOAT position (Fig. 15). Remove foot from traction pedal and insure it is in neutral.

The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. If machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation or whenever water is used to clean machine. Bearings and bushings must be lubricated daily when operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty.

MAINTENANCE 5. Remove and replace oil filter (Fig. 28); refer to parts catalog for part number. 1 5. Tighten clamps. CHECKING AND REPLACING SPARK PLUGS Since air gap between center and side electrodes increases gradually during normal engine operation, check condition of electrodes at 100 hour intervals. The correct spark plugs to use in the engine are NGK BMR 6A or equivalent. Set air gap at .024-.028 in. 1. Clean area around spark plugs so dirt does not fall into cylinder when plugs are removed. 2.
! After setting air gap at .024-.028", install spark plug in cylinder head. Tighten plugs to 17 ft-Ib. Push wires onto spark plugs. Remove bolt and nut securing nylon block and remove nylon block (Fig. 33). # ! ! Check tension of belt initially after the first day of operation and every 100 hours thereafter. !3 ,)'/ !)26-32 Turn engine off and remove the ignition key. Set the parking brake. Raise the engine hood and allow the engine to cool.
The machine must not creep when traction pedal is released. If it does creep, an adjustment is required. Park machine on a level surface and shut engine off.
