OPERATION

TOWING CARTS & OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW

32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE

TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o hol

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-

ture which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage

the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To

avoid engine problems, the fuel system should

be emptied before stor age of 30 days or longer.

Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run

until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use

fresh fuel next sea son. See Storage In struc tions

for additional information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.

Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a

minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will

increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce

valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel

in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure

fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

TO TRANSPORT

•

Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment

lift control.

•

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure gearshift

lever is in neutral (N) position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than five (5) MPH.
NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with sum mer weight oil.
• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
•

Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until

“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the

Maintenance sec tion of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

CAUTION: Do not drive up or down hills

with slopes great er than 15° and do not

drive across any slope.

• Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down

hills.

• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
• If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever to

slower position.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake

pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.
