Children
1. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
They do not understand the dangers. Never assume
that children will remain where you last saw them.
a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in
watchful care of a responsible adult other than
the operator.
b. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters
the area.
c. Before and while backing, look behind and
down for small children.
d. Never carry children, even with the blade(s)
shut off. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
e. Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other
objects that may block your vision of a child
who may run into the machine.
f. To avoid back-over accidents, always
disengage the cutting blade(s) before
shifting into Reverse. If equipped, the
Reverse Caution Mode should not be
used when children or others are around.
g. Keep children away from hot or running
engines. They can suffer burns from a hot
muffler.
h. Remove key when machine is unattended to
prevent unauthorized operation.
2. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate
the machine. Children 14 years old and over should
read and understand the operation instructions and
safety rules in this manual and should be trained and
supervised by a parent.
Operation
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explo-
sive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline
is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
a. Use only an approved gasoline container.
b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling.
c. When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it
on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete. Do not use a
nozzle lock-open device.
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
f. Never fuel machine indoors.
g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool
at least two minutes before refueling.
h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more
than inch below bottom of filler neck to
allow space for fuel expansion.
i. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
j. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine
and equipment. Move unit to another area.
Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
k. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of
grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean
up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel
soaked debris.
l. Never store the machine or fuel container
inside where there is an open flame, spark
or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
m. Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes
before storing.

Slope Operation:
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over 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.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of
this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit
on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15
degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate
this unit on that area or serious injury could result.
Do:
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed
setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while
on the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even
though the brakes are functioning properly. Always
keep machine in gear when going down slopes to
take advantage of engine braking action.
4. Follow the manufacturers recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
5. Use extra care with grass catchers or other at-
tachments. These can change the stability of the
machine.
6. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front
of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards
which could cause serious injury.
7. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
Do Not:
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.
4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speed-
ing may cause the operator to lose control of the
machine resulting in serious injury or death.
7. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded
dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than
5 degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight
tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose
control. (e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steer-
ing ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and
cause tractor to overturn).
Towing:
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equip-
ment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Service
1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless, and deadly gas.
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain
the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the
engine to prevent unintended starting.
3. Periodically check to make sure the blades come to
complete stop within approximately (5) five seconds
after operating the blade disengagement control. If the
blades do not stop within the this time frame, your unit
should be serviced professionally by an authorized
Service Dealer.
4. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to
wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as
required.
5. Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at

inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., excessive wear,
bent, cracked). Replace the blade(s) with the original
equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) blade(s) only,
listed in this manual. Use of parts which do not meet
the original equipment specifications may lead to
improper performance and compromise safety!
6. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
7. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
8. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other
safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
9. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against
the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any
damage. Repair the damage before starting and
operating.
10. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the
machine while the engine is running.
11. Grass catcher components and the discharge
cover are subject to wear and damage which could
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
For safety protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original equipment
manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!
12. Do not change the engine governor settings or
over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
13. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
14. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for

Driving On Slopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 3 to help deter-
mine slopes where you may operate the tractor safely.
WARNING: Do not mow on
inclines with a slope in excess
of 15 degrees (a rise of approxi-
mately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet).
The tractor could overturn and
Mow up and down slopes, NEVER across.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must
be made, turn down the slope. Turning up a slope
greatly increases the chance of a roll over.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is
necessary to stop while driving up a slope, start up
smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility of
flipping the tractor over backward.
Setting The Cruise Control
1. Place the shift lever in the FORWARD position,
then slowly depress the drive pedal until the desired
speed is achieved.
2. Lightly depress the cruise control button.
3. While continuing to hold the cruise button in, lift your

latch engage).
Once engaged, the cruise control button and the drive
pedal will lock in the down position, and the tractor will
maintain the same forward speed.
NOTE: Cruise control can not be engaged at the
tractors fastest ground speed. If the operator should
attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically decelerate
to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
Disengage the cruise control using one of the following
methods:
1. Depress the brake pedal to disengage the cruise
control and stop the tractor.
2. Lightly depress the drive pedal.
To change to the reverse direction when operating with

Mowing
WARNING: To help avoid blade
contact or a thrown object injury,
keep bystanders, helpers, children
and pets at least 75 feet from the
machine while it is in operation.
Stop machine if anyone enters the
area.
The following information will be helpful when using the
cutting deck with your tractor:
WARNING: Plan your mowing
pattern to avoid discharge of
materials toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against
a wall or obstruction which may
cause discharged material to

Figure 4-6
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a
mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
For best results it is recommended that the first two
laps 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.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites
weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should always be done with the engine at full
throttle.
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go
back over the cut area a second time to get a clean
cut.
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and
extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow
lawns, NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when
worn. Refer to Cutting Blades in the Maintaining
Your Lawn Tractor section of this manual for proper
blade sharpening instructions.
Mulching (If Equipped)
Select models come equipped with a mulch kit which
incorporates special blades, already standard on the
tractor, in a process of recirculating grass clippings
repeatedly beneath the cutting deck. The ultra-fine
clippings are then forced back into the lawn where they
act as a natural fertilizer.
Observe the following points for the best results when
mulching:
Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet grass
tends to stick to the underside of the cutting deck
preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total
height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches.
Doing so will cause the clippings to clump up beneath
the deck and not be mulched effectively.
Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass
clippings more time to effectively be mulched.
Always position the throttle control lever in the FAST
(rabbit) position and allow it to remain there while
mowing. Failing to keep the engine at full throttle
places strain on the tractors engine and does not
allow the blades to properly mulch grass.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the discharge chute
to operate the mower with the mulch kit installed.
To operate the cutting deck without mulching, simply
remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic wing
nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow the
clippings to discharge out the side. See Figure 4-6.
Headlights
The lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is moved
out of the STOP position.
The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to
the STOP position.

1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place
the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position)
and rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so
that it is parallel with the tractor.
2. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to
the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground.
The first measurement taken should be between 1/4
and 3/8 less than the second measurement. Deter-
mine the approximate distance necessary for proper
adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the next step.
3. From the front of the tractor, loosen the hex lock nut
on each end of the deck hanger rod, and turn away
from the inner hex nuts. See Fig. 5-1.
4. Tighten the inner hex nuts front against the front
hanger bracket to raise the front of the deck; loosen
the hex nuts to lower the front of the deck.
NOTE: Models with a 42-inch deck have only ONE jam
nut, washer, and lock nut.
5. Retighten the two lock nuts against the inner hex nuts
when proper adjustment is achieved.
Side to Side
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side
to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary
as follows:
1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place
the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position)
and rotate both blades so that they are perpendicular
with the tractor.
2. Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade
tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the
right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken
should be equal. If theyre not, proceed to the next step.
3. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap bolt on the
left deck hanger bracket. See Fig. 5-2.
4. Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the
adjustment gear (found immediately behind the hex
cap bolt just loosened) clockwise/up or counterclock-
wise/down. The deck is properly balanced when both
blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal.
5. Retighten the hex cap bolt on the left deck hanger
bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
