ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do

not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded 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 quantities 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.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to separation

and formation 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

storage 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 season. See Storage Instructions

for additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank

or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time

or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

1. Be sure freewheel control is in the

transmission engaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

3. Place motion control lever in neutral

(N) position.

4. Move deck clutch to disengaged posi-

tion.

5. Insert key into ignition and turn key

clockwise to start position and release

key as soon as engine starts. Do not

run starter continuously for more than

fifteen seconds per minute.

NOTE: If at high altitude (above 3000

feet) or in cold temperature (below 32°F)

the fuel mixture may need to be adjusted

for best performance.

TO TRANSPORT
When pushing or towing your riding mower,

be sure to disengage transmission by placing

freewheel control in freewheel position.

Freewheel control is located at the rear

drawbar of the riding mower.

• Raise mower height adjustment to its

highest position with mower height

adjustment lever.

• Push freewheel control down and over

with foot.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

WARNING: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and do not

drive across any slope. Use the slope guide

at the back of this manual.

• Choose the slowest speed before starting

up or down hills.

• Avoid stopping or changing speed on

hills.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push

clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position

and engage parking brake.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N)

position.

• To restart movement, slowly release park-

ing brake and clutch/brake pedal.

• Make all turns slowly.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above

procedure, or press brake lever all the way

down.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine in your riding mower has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled with

summer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with riding mower on

level ground.

2. 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.
