BEFORE OPERATING ACTIVATING AND CHARGING BATTERY 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 focal battery supply outlet. Remove the battery and activate it as follows: A CAUTION Wear safety goggles and rubber gives when working with electrolyte.
BEFORE OPERATING S Figure 6 1. Dipstick 2. Suet Tank Cap A. Above +40° Use SAE 30; 10W30 as a substitute. B. Below +40°F {4° C) — Use SAE 5-20 or 5-30: 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 oil). Note: Avoid premature engine failure by insuring the funnel used is clean so contaminants are not introduced into the crankcase. Wipe any oil spilled, 50 it will not cause dirt to collect on the engine. 4.
CONTROLS Gear Shift (Fig. 7) — Transmission has five forward speeds, 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 top of transmission. Deck Engagement Lever {Fig. 9) — Deck engagement lever engages and disengages the cutter blade.
STARTING AND STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Starter motor can be activated but, rider engine will not start unless deck engagement lever is DISENGAGED, and shift lever is in NEUTRAL, To avoid unnecessary drain on battery, make sure deck engagement lever and shift lever are correctly positioned before attempting to start rider. START AND OPERATE MACHINE 1. Sit on seat, shift into neutral, move deck engagement lever to DISENGAGE 2.
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 bide contact could occur. OPERATING PROCEDURE WARNING 1f 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 all 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 onto the rider. 1.
MAINTENANCE 2. Change oil after first § hours of operation; every 25 nous thereafter. Change oil more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty or 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 oif to flow into drain pan. Install drain plug gaiter oil stops flowing.
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 normal aeration 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 Austerlitz ARON.
