WARNING:
Experience indicates that 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

CAUTION:
Do not drive up or down
hills with slopes greater than 15 and
do not drive across any slope.

OPERATUO
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine_ This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right
so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig 9 ).

CARBURETOR
ACCELERATION
TEST -
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary_ However, minor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. tf the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a teaner fuel/
air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a richer fuel/air mixture
IMPORTANT:
DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE
THE SEAT IN CARBURETOR
MAY RESULT
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT
PRELIMINARY
VALVE
AND
IF SCREW IS
SE'f-I'ING -
Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carburetor when making carburetor adjustments

TO PREVENT
GUM

IN ESSENTIAL
FUEL
SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR,

STORAGE.
ALSO,
EXPERIENCE
INDICATES
THAT ALCOHOL

OR USING ETHANOL
OR
METHANOL)
CAN ATTRACT
MOISTURE WHICH LEADS
TO SEPARATION

OF ACIDS DURING
STORAGE_
ACIDIC
GAS CAN DAMAGE
THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE
TRACTOR
Remove mower from tractor for winter storage.. When
mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
o
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage., Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
containen Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil, (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities
section of this manual),,
