Operating the Tractor ,A STORAGE Temporary Storage (30 Days Or Less) WARNING Never store the unit, 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 cau*e an explosion. Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so never store the unit indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source.
Regular Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES 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.
Regular Maintenance A WARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills. Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after installation. CHECKING /ADDING FUEL Figure 15. Fuel Tank Fill A.

Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service BATTERY SERVICE ,A 6. Charge the battery until fully charged (i.e. until the specific gravity of the 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.

Lawn Care & Mowing Information GENERAL INFORMATION X Types of Grass, Climate and Conditions Proper mowing is an important part of maintaining your lawn in the best possible condition. A healthy and well maintained lawn is better able to resist drought, weeds, and other stresses. But too much maintenance is as detrimental to your lawn as neglect. Proper care for your lawn involves more than just “cutting the grass.
lawn Care & Mowing Information HOW HIGH TO MOW THE GRASS Cut less than l/3 Often cutting height is a matter of personal preference. Typically, you should mow the grass when it is is between three and five inches high. The proper cutting height range for a specific lawn will depend upon several factors, including the type of grass, the amount of rainfall, the prevailing temperature, and the lawn’s overall condition.
lawn Care & Mowing Information WHEN AND HOW OFTEN TO MOW The time of day and condition of the grass greatly affect the results you’ll get when mowing. For the best results, 0 Mow when the grass is between three and five inches 0 Mow with sharp blades. Short clippings of grass one inch or shorter decompose more quickly than longer blades. Sharp mower blades cut grass cleanly and efficiently, preventing frayed edges which harm the grass. 0 Mow at time of day when the grass is cool and dry.
Lawn Care & Mowing Information Proper Broadcast Mowing Broadcasting, or side-discharging, disperses fine clippings evenly over the entire lawn. Many golf courses use this method. Your mower has a deep dish deck to allow freer circulation of clippings so they are broadcast evenly over the lawn. ENGINE SPEED &GROUND SPEED FOR BROADCASTING Always operate the engine at full throttle when mowing.
Lawn Care & Mowing Information X Reduce the evaporation of water from your lawn. TIPS On Dealing With Clippings Clippings are beneficial to your lawn. A common misconception about clippings is that they automatically lead to thatch-this is untrue Short clippings produced by broadcasting and clippings produced by mulching methods actually contribute to a healthy lawn because they: X Provide a cushioning layer to reduce lawn wear. X Moderate soil temperature.
Lawn Care & Mowing Information SOLUTIONS FOR COMMON MOWING PROBLEMS Streaking Streaking Streaking is when thin strips of uncut grass are left behind the mower. Streaking is usually caused by operator error or poor blade maintenance.
Lawn Care & Mowing Information Uneven Cutting Uneven Cutting Uneven cutting is waviness or smooth troughs in the lawn surface. Uneven cutting is usually caused by mower deck damage or misadjustment.
