Position the deck roller brackets up or down through 

the slots on the rear of the deck until desired 

position is reached, then reattach with the clevis 

pins and hairpin clips just removed. Be certain that 

the left roller bracket and the right roller bracket are 

set in the same position.

Refer to Leveling the Deck in the Maintenance section of this 

manual for more detailed instructions regarding various deck 

adjustments.

To adjust the position of the seat, pull up and hold the seat 

adjustment lever. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the 

desired position; then release the adjustment lever. Make sure 

seat is locked into position before operating the tractor. See 

Figure 3-5.

Before operating the tractor, make 

sure the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the 

parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull 

back on seat until it clicks into place.

The fuel tank is located under the hood and has a capacity of 

three and-a-half gallons. Remove the fuel cap by turning it 

counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days 

old), unleaded gasoline. Fill the tank no higher than four inches 

below the top of the filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

Use extreme care when handling 

gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the 

vapors are explosive.  Never fuel the machine 

indoors or while the engine is hot or running. 

Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and all other 

sources of ignition.

Be sure to STOP filling tank once fuel is seen 

inside the filler neck.  This ensures that a proper expansion 

volume is created.  Do NOT top off the tank. See Figure 3-6.
NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However, 

you MUST check the oil level before operating. 

Always check the engine oil level before 

each use as instructed in the Engine Owner’s 

Manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may 

result in serious damage to your engine.
