GENERAL OPERA TION • Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the unit before starting. • Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit. • Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.
4 CHILDREN Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil- dren will remain where you last saw them. • Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
5 Safety Decals This unit has been designed and manufactured to pro- vide you with the safety and reliability you would expect from an industry leader in outdoor power equipment manufacturing.

SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM Your rider is equipped with a seat switch safety system that will automatically shut the engine off when the oper- ator leaves the seat with the ground speed control lever in gear or PTO engaged.
9 Operation GENERAL Before operating this rider for the first time, the owner should operate in an open area without mowing, to become accustomed to the unit. The left side of the mower can be used to trim close to objects. Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this rider and mower.
10 CHECKS BEFORE ST ARTING 1. Make sure you have proper wheel or counterweights if required. See SLOPE OPERATION in the Safety Rules section. Make sure any slopes are within required limits. 2. Check that crankcase is filled to full mark on dipstick. See the engine Operator’s Manual for instructions and oil recommendations.
11 Operation W ARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and must be han- dled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
1. If you are ready to mow, lower the mower from the transport position using lever (A, figure 11) and set the mowing height using the Dial-A-Cut TM Control (E, figure 11). 2. Set the engine speed control lever (M, figure 2) for full speed. 3. Use the PTO switch (G, figure 2) to engage the PTO.
13 Mowing Patterns & T ips GENERAL For the first use of the mower, choose a smooth level area. Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly. The size and type of area to be mowed determines the best mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings must also be considered.
14 • If mulching baffles are removed, the original deflector must be in operating position for safe side-discharge mowing. How Much Grass T o Cut Off Removing too much grass height in one cutting may result in an unsatisfactory cut: windrowing, clumping, or uneven dispersal of clippings may result.
15 RAISING THE SEA T DECK To gain access to the engine compartment, simply raise the seat deck forward. CHECKING/ADDING GASOLINE Check the gas gauge/cap to be sure there is enough gasoline to complete the job. To add gasoline, remove the gas gauge/cap.
16 Normal Care *2397 LUBRICA TION Lubricate the rider and mower as shown in figures 13 - 18. When a grease gun is shown, wipe the fitting clean, apply two or three shots of lithium base automotive *2388B Figure 13. Brake Pedal Pivot Point Figure 17. Front Axle Lubrication Points Figure 16.

19 Storage TEMPORAR Y STORAGE (30 Days Or Less) Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so never store the rider indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the rider in any structure used for human or animal habitation.
20 11. Transport the rider to a suitable, dry, indoor location. If the rider is to be stored 6 months or longer, block the rider up off the wheels to relieve weight and also to keep the tires off a damp floor. Protect tires from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
21 GENERAL This section of the manual provides troubleshooting and repair instructions for the more common and easily cor- rected problems. For other problems, it is recommended that you contact your dealer. Locate the problem that best describes the trouble that you have encountered.
22 TROUBLESHOOTING THE MOWER Mower will not raise. 1. Lift cable not properly attached or damaged. Attach or repair. Mower cut is uneven. 1. Mower not leveled properly. See Mower Adjustment. 2. Rider tires not inflated equally or properly. See Normal Care.
23 6. Charge the battery until fully charged (i.e. until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). The best method of making certain a battery is fully charged, but not over charged, is to measure the specific gravity of a cell once per hour.
