BEFORE OPERATING ACTIVATING AND CHARGING BATTERY (Electric Start Riders Only) Since the battery for the rider is not filled with electrolyte or activated, the battery, if you have not already done so, must be removed from the machine so it can be filled with electrolyte and charged. Bulk electrolyte with 1,260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet. Remove the battery and activate it as follows: A CAUTION Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with electrolyte.
BEFORE OPERATING Figure 8 1. Dipstick 2. Fuel Tank Cap A. Above +40° Use SAE 30; 10W30 as a substitute. B. Below +40° Use SAE 5-20 or SW-30; SAE 10W or 10W-30 as substitutes. C. Below 0° {-18° C) — Use SAE 10W or 10W30 diluted 10% with kerosene (1.6 oz. per pint of FOFL. Note: Avoid premature engine failure by inuring the funnel used is clean so contaminants are not introduced into the crankcase. Wipe any oil spilled, so it will not cause dirt to collect on the engine. 4.
CONTROLS Gear Shift {Fig. 7) — Transmission has five forward spuds, neutral and reverse. Single lever in-line shifting with “Z" pattern located at right side of operator. An interlock switch, which prevents engine from being started when transmission is in gear, is mounted on Deck Engagement Lever (Fig. 9) — Deck engagement lever engages and disengages the cutter blade. An interlock switch, which is mounted on front of seat base, prevents engine from starting when control sin the ENGAGE position.
STARTING AND STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS Note: Engine will not start unless deck engagement lever is DISENGAGED, and shift lever is in NEUTRAL. START AND OPERATE MACHINE {Electric Start Models) 1. Sit on seat, shift inch neutral, move deck engagement lever to DISENGAGE. 2. Move throttle control to CHOKE position and rotate ignition key to START. When engine stars, release key and move throttle control between FAST and SLOW. 3. Select desired height-of-cut and move deck engagement lever to ENGAGE. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GRASS DEFLECTOR A WARNING The grass deflector and toe bar is a safety device that routes discharged material down toward the turf; therefore, do not remove deflector from mower housing. If the deflector is ever damaged, replace it. Without the deflector or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, discharged material could cause personal injury or blade contact could occur. OPERATING PROCEDURE A WARNING if drive chain comes off sprockets, there are no brakes or traction drive.

MAINTENANCE LUBRICATE PIVOT POINTS The mechanical pivot points on the rider must be lubricated after every 25 hours of operation: however, lubricate more frequently when conditions are dusty or sandy. IMPORTANT: To lubricate ail the mechanical pivot points, the rider must be tipped on its rear end. However, before the rider is tipped, drain all gasoline from fuel tank and oil from crankcase. Also remove battery so acid does not spill note the rider. 1.
MAINTENANCE 2. Change oil after first § hours of operation; every 25 hours thereafter. Change oil more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty of dirty. To change oil: A. Position rider on level surface. Start and run engine for a period to warm the oil. B. Turn engine off and place drain pan below drain plug (Fig. 15). Support drain pipe with pipe wrench, remove drain plug, and allow all il to flow into drain pan.
MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: Always operate engine with air cleaner element in place or engine damage will result. REPLACING SPARK PLUG Since air gap between center and side electrodes of the spark plug increases gradually during amoral operation of the engine, check condition of electrodes after every 25 operating hours. Recommended air gap is 0,030 of an inch (0.762 mm). Correct spark plug to use is: Champion RCJ-8 or Auto lite ARON.
