PAGE 11
LIFT LEVER BRAKE , nnnnnrl The brake pedal is located on the right front side of the tractor above the drive pedal along the running board. The brake pedal can be used for sudden stops or setting the parking brake. The lift lever is used to change the operating position (height) of the cutting deck. To operate, move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best suited for your application.
PAGE 12
CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON SEAT ADJUSTMENT 6 The cruise control button is located on the tractor dash panel to the left of the ignition switch. Push the cruise control button while traveling forward at a desired speed. WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON IN, release pressure from the drive pedal. This will engage the cruise control and allow the tractor to remain at that speed without applying pressure to the drive pedal. Depress the brake pedal or the drive pedal to deactivate cruise control.
PAGE 13
SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT NOTE: Do NOT leave the choke control out while operating the tractor. Doing so will result in a "rich" fuel mixture and cause the engine to run poorly. Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in any of the six different cutting height notches on the right side of the fender.

• Pullthe PTOknoboutwardintothe engaged (ON)position.SeeFigure8. ,_ • Keepthe throttleleverin the FAST(rabbit) positionfor the most efficient use of the cutting deck and other attachments. • For best results it is recommended that the first two laps should be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a better appearance to the lawn.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT • Replace hex nut and lock washer and retighten the jam nut after proper adjustment is achieved. To adjust the position of the seat, move the seat adjustment lever (located under the seat) to the left and slide the seat forward or backwards.
PAGE 18
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows: • Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier. • Looking at the brake disc from the right side of the tractor, locate the compression spring and brake disc.
PAGE 19
CLEANING THE ENGINE AND DECK IMPORTANT: The use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT recommended. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in a shortened life of the tractor and reduce its serviceability. Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly.

• Move the lift lever into the top notch on the right fender to raise the deck lift arms out of the way. • Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) out from underneath the tractor. NOTE: To properly remount the cutting deck, perform the above steps in reverse order. Having a second person assist you will ease this procedure. • Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.

TIRES To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove equal amounts of metal from both ends of the blades along the cutting edges. See Figure 24. Sharpen the cutting edge straight across, parallel to the trailing edge, at a 25 ° to 30 ° angle. See Figure 24. The recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 10 psi for the rear tires and 14 psi for the front tires. Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's recommended psi.
