SETĆUP INSTRUCTIONS DANGER Figure 6 A. Above + 40_ F (4_ C) Ċ Use SAE 30 or 10WĆ30. B. 0_ to + 40_ F (4_ C) Ċ Use 10WĆ30. C. Below 0_ (Ć18_ C) Ċ Use 5WĆ 20 or 5W-30. Note: Avoid premature engine failure by ensuring the funnel used is clean so contaminants are not introduced into the crankcase. Wipe up any oil spilled so it will not cause dirt to collect on the enĆ gine. 4. Ensure the oil level is to the full mark on the dipĆ stick when it is fully installed.
CONTROLS Gear Shift (Fig. 7)ĊTransaxle has five forward speeds, neutral and reverse. The gear shift lever is located at right side of operator. An interlock switch prevents engine from being started when transaxle is in any gear except neutral. Deck Engagement Lever (Fig. 9)ĊEngages and disengages the cutter blade. An interlock switch preĆ vents engine from starting when control is in the ENĆ GAGE position. Engine will start when control is in DISENGAGE position only. Ignition Switch (Fig.
9 9 Shift into neutral (N), move deck engagement lever to DISENGAGE. Lock the parking brake. The heightĆofĆcut may be set in one of six positions from approximately 1Ć1/2 to 4 inches (38 to 102 mm). Move throttle control to CHOKE position, and rotate ignition key to RUN. Stand to right side of ridĆ er, pull recoil starter handle out until positive engageĆ ment results; then pull handle vigorously to start enĆ gine.
To side discharge or use bagging attachment, stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

RECYCLERr RIDER TIPS The Recyclerr rider's special features reduce clipĆ ping size, thus decreasing amount of grass to be disposed of and number of times bagger will have to be emptied. Note: When bagger is full, mower will begin to inject clippings down into the grass. TIPS FOR CUTTING LEAVES In the fall, you can cut your leaves up into finely cut particles and inject the particles down into the grass.

MAINTENANCE CHECK/CHANGE CRANKCASE OIL SERVICING AIR CLEANER 1. Check level of oil before starting engine and after every 5 hours of operation. Maintain oil level at FULL mark on dipstick. The air cleaner element must be cleaned after every 25 hours of operation if the engine is operated in clean air conditions. However, the element must be cleaned every few hours if operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. To check level of oil: A. Position rider on a level surface. 1.
Insert a new paper cartridge into the air cleaner body.

Set air gap between center and side electrodes at 0.030 of an inch (0.762 mm) (Fig. 18). Install corĆ rectly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten plug to 15 ftĆlb (20.4 N m).
! # "!! Shut off engine and remove wire from spark plug. Remove ignition key. Shift transaxle into 1st gear and engage parking brake. Remove cutting unit: refer to Removing/Installing Cutting Unit, page 22. Grasp end of blade using a rag or thickly padded glove; then remove blade bolt, curved washĆ er, blade stiffener and blade (Fig. 19). 26) Since blade bolt is tightened to 45Ć60 ftĆlb (61Ć81 N m) at the factory, it may be difficult to reĆ move.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING / INSTALLING CUTTING UNIT 1. Shut off engine and pull wire off spark plug. ReĆ move ignition key 2. Lock parking brake and turn front wheels to a full turn position to allow more clearance for cutting unit. 3. Set heightĆofĆcut control to lowest setting. 4. Loosen belt guides near engine pulley and rotate them out of the way. Remove deck belt from engine pulley (Fig. 21). 3 6. Remove cotter pins from clevis pins on front hanger brackets.
MAINTENANCE REPLACING TRACTION DRIVE BELT 1. Remove cutting unit: refer to Removing/lnstalling Cutting Unit, page 22. 2. Remove belt guides from transaxle pulley. LoosĆ en and rotate belt guides at engine pulley out of the way. Loosen locknut and remove belt retainer from idler pulley. IMPORTANT: Idler retainer must be installed at an 80_ to 90_ angle to the idler mounting bracket (Fig. 25) or rider may creep with clutch pushed down.
" To align front wheels, loosen jam nut and turn tie rod end (there is only one adjustable tie rod) until center line distance across front of wheels (d') is .06 inch (1.5 mm) to .25 inch (6.3 mm) less than center line distance across rear of front wheels (d") (Fig. 26 & 27). Tighten jam nuts.
! An adjustment to the gear shift rod may be required if gear shift will not go into neutral position. The interlock switches in the electrical system preĆ vent the engine from starting unless the gear shift is in neutral and deck engagement lever is disenĆ gaged. In addition, the engine will stop Ċ because of a seat switch Ċ if the operator gets off the seat when deck engagement lever is engaged or gear shift is in gear.
After each use wash the underside of the mower to prevent grass buildĆup for improved mulch action and clipping dispersal. Park the machine on a hard level surface, disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the ignition key to OFF" to stop the engine. Attach hose coupling to the end of the mower washout fitting, turn water on high (Fig. 31). Lower the mower to the lowest heightĆofĆcut. Sit on the seat and start the engine.
For long term storage, either drain gasoline from fuel tank or use a fuel additive before storing. To drain gasoline, refer to Draining Gasoline From Fuel Tank, page 20. After fuel is drained, start engine and let it idle until all fuel is consumed and engine stops. Repeat the starting procedure two more times to enĆ sure all gas is removed from the engine. If gasoline is not drained, gum-like varnish deposits will form and cause poor engine operation, even starting problems.
