SafetyRules& information OperatingSafety Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety. Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of those around you. Use common sense, and think through what you are doing.
SafetyRulesandinformation, SlopeOperatm You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you don't have adequate traction can cause you to lose control or roll over. 3.5 2O A good rule of thumb is to not operate on any slope you cannot back up (in 2-wheel drive mode). You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than a 3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length.
SafetyRules& lflfomatm Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing obiects. The triangle _, in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. GENERAL OPERATION 1.
SafetyRulesaridiflformtm SLOPE OPERATION WARNING Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it. Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.
SafetyRules& information SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Safe Handling of Gasoline 1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition. 2. Use only approved gasoline containers. 3.

& Mowinginformation HOW TO WATER YOUR LAWN How and When to Water, Fertilize & Aerate The best method of watering a lawn is to imitate a slow, soaking rain, applying about 1 inch of water. HOW TO FERTILIZE YOUR LAWN Most lawns are watered too often, but with too little water. However too much water can allow development of diseases with your lawn. It is best to water the lawn only when necessary, and then to water it slowly, evenly, and deeply--imitating a slow, soaking rain.
LawnCape& MowingInfopmation 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, follow these guidelines: • Mow when the grass is between 3"-4" (7,5-10 cm) high. • 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.
LawnCape& MowingInfopmation Using a Mulching Mower Benefits of Proper Mulching Mulching consists of a mower deck which cuts and recuts clippings into tiny particles and then blows them down into the lawn. These tiny particles decompose rapidly into by-products that your lawn can use. Under proper conditions your mulching mower virtually eliminate noticeable clippings on the lawn surface.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower.
RegularMaintenance Safety interlock System Check Service Interval: Every Fall & Spring Check the function of the safety interlock system using the test procedure found on page 12 of this manual. If the tractor fails any of the tests, see your dealer. Blade Brake Check Service interval: Every 100 Hours or Fall & Spring Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within five seconds after electric PTO switch is turned off.

RegularMaintenance Lubrication Service interval: Every 25 Hours Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 1923 as well as the lubrication points listed. Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off belts and pulleys. Wipe surfaces clean before and after lubrication. Grease: \ Figure 20.
RegWPMaintenance 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. WARNING For your personal safety, blade mounting capscrews must each be installed with a hex/spline washer and spring washer, then securely tightened. Torque blade mounting capscrew to 45 - 55 ft.

Remove the mower deck (see "Mower deck removal"). 2. Turn the mower deck over and check the position of the blades. The blades must be positioned perpendicular to each other as shown in Figure 28. If not, proceed to step 3. 3. Use a block of wood (B, Figure 24) to prevent blade rotation while loosening the capscrew. 4.
RegWPMaiflteflaflce Transmission identification Several service procedures within this book are identified by, and vary by, transmission type. To determine what transmission is in your tractor, check the identification tag attached to the axle of the transmission (Figure 29), or check your tractor's parts book. Transmission ® Maintenance / Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to enter the expansion chamber or transmission. Even a small amount of dirt can damage the transmission Figure 29.
