WORK SAFE“ ‐FOLLOW 'I'IIESE MILES
i . DURING OPERATION
Keep machine in good operating condition
and keep safety devices in place.
Use guards or shields as instructed in Opera‑
tor’s Manual. .
To prevent injury, do not carry passengers or
give rides. (Keep children, pets and by-stand‑
ers out of the area while mowing.) Only the
operator should ride on the tractor and only in
the seat.
Do not run the engine in confined areas such
as storage buildings any longer than is nec‑
essary. Immediately move the tractor outside
into the air. EXHAUST GASES ARE TOXIC.
OPENING DOORS AND WINDOWS MAY NOT
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Check overhead clearance carefully before
driving under power lines, guy wires, bridges,
low hanging tree branches, entering or leav‑
ing buildings, or other situations where the
operator may be struck or pulled from the
tractor which could result in serious injury.
To reduce possibility of serious injury, never
direct discharge of material from any attach‑
ment toward bystanders nor allow anyone in
the area of the machine while in operation.
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment: ‐A. Use only approved hitch
points. B. Limit loads to those you can safely
control. C. Don't turn too sharp, and use care
when backing. D. Use counterweight or wheel
weights when suggested in Operator's
Manual.
To maintain control of the tractor and reduce
the possibility of upset or collision operate
the tractor smoothly ‐avoid erratic opera‑
tion and excessive speed.
Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to
prevent tipping or loss of control. Always
keep the tractor in gear when going down
steep hills to take advantage of engine brak‑
ing action.
Whenever possible, avoid driving the tractor
on an incline such as aramp or slope. If nec‑
essary to move the tractor on an incline,
whenever practical back the tractor up the
incline and drive the tractor forward down the
incline. Use extreme caution if it is necessay
to drive the tractor up an incline or back the
tractor down an incline because the front of
the tractor could lift and rapidly flip over

SPEED CONTROL LEVER STOP
An adjustable speed control lever stop is pro‑
vided to allow the operator to return to apre‑
determined speed.
Do not bypass the speed control lever stop to
obtain ahigher tractor speed. If ahigher
speed is desired, reset the stop. Refer to
“Instrument and Controls”.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Be sure there is an adequate supply of
gasoline in the fuel tank.
CAUTION! To avoid fire or injury,
tighten fuel cap securely. Never
remove the fuel tank cap or fill the
fuel tank when the engine is running,or hot,
or indoors. Also, do not smoke when work‑
ing around flammable fuel.
2. Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is open.
3. Pull choke control button to full choke posi‑
tion. Less choking may be necessary due to
variations in temperature, grade of fuel, etc.
Little or no choking will be needed when the
engine is warm.
4. Place the throttle just off “SLOW” position.
5. To start the engine, safety starting
switches must be activated by pressing the
brake pedal all the way down and moving the
power take-off clutch switch to the dis‑
engaged position.
NOTE: The speed control lever will return to
neutral when the brake pedal is pressed all
the way down.
6. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the
“START” position and release it as soon as
the engine starts; however do not operate the
starter for more than 30 seconds at any one
time. If the engine does not start within this
time, turn the key “OFF” and wait afew
minutes, then try again.
7. After the engine starts, slowly release the
brake pedal and gradually push the choke
control button all the way in. Do not use the
choke to enrich the fuel mixture, except as
necessary to start the engine.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Move the throttle lever to the “SLOW" posi‑
tion and allow the engine to idle for ashort
time before stopping. Then turn the key to the
“OFF” position.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
Engine starting is possible in cold weather
providing the correct weight of engine oil is
used, the battery is fully charged, and the
proper starting procedure is followed. The
best procedure for starting at temperatures
near or below freezing is as follows:
_..I

OPERATING TIIE TIIACTOII
1. Pull the choke all the way out into the full
choke position.
t2" Move the throttle lever just off slow posi‑
ion.
3. Press the brake pedal all the way down and
be sure the powertake-off switch is in the off
position. The safety interlocks will prevent
starting unless this is done.
4. Move the key switch into the start position
and hold until the engine starts; however, do
not operate the starter for more than 30
seconds at any one time. As soon as the
engine starts, slewly push the choke in part
way.
CAUTION! Duringoperation do not
run the engine in confined area ‑
such as storage building any
longer than is necessary.Immediately move
the tractor outside into the air.
NOTE: In cold weather the starting motor may
disengage prematurely. This is caused by the
ehgine firing once but failing to continue run‑
ning. If this happens several times, the engine
will be flooded and it will be necessary to start
as described in Step 5.
5. Leave the throttle in the slow position but
push the choke in all the way; then turn the
ignition key to the start position and slowly
pull the choke out to the position which will
cause the engine to start and continue run‑
ning. If the engine falters after shifting into
drive, pull the choke out part way until the
engine runs smoothly, then gradually push
the choke back in as the engine warms.
OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
While operating this tractor equipped with a
17 HP 2cylinder engine, at light loads and
usually in low temperature conditions, it is
possible to foul out aspark plug. This Will
result in gasoline entering the crankcaseby
way of the piston rings on the cylinder which
is not firing.
10
Some symptoms are:
1. Oil level will rise due to gasoline in
crankcase.
2. Air filter becomes oil and fuel soaked
3. Engine leaks oil
4. Mis‐firing
This condition does not necessarily mean
that the carburetor, piston rings, ignition coil‑
wires-points, or gaskets are defective.
Correction:
1. Replace both spark plugs.
2. Check air filter element, replace if needed.
3. Change oil.
4. Adjust carburetor if needed.
5. Service spark plugs regularly when using
tractor under light duty or low temperature
conditions.
HOOD AND NOISE ISOLATION PANELS
The tractor hood is arranged to swing up and
forward for easy access to the engine com‑
partment. Also, whenever engine mainte‑
nance is required, the noise isolation panels
can be readily removed by removing the two
wing nuts (one on each side) and disconnect‑
ing the panel spring.

start up smoothly and carefully to reduce the
possibility of flipping the tractor over back‑
ward.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
Move the speed control lever to the “N” posi‑
tion or use the brake. Before dismounting
always lock the brake pedal and turn the igni‑
tion “OFF". Also disengage the power take‑
off control switch.

Fuel System
IA- 1 “GO A
13
This engine is designed to operate on leaded
gasoline with a93 minimum octane rating or
on unleaded gasoline with a91 minimum
octane rating (Research Method).
The use of unleaded gasoline will increase
spark plug and valve life, maintain engine
performance longer, and reduce rust and cor‑
rosion of the engine while stored.
The fuel tank filler cap has an air vent. Keep
the vent open at all times to assure proper
flow of the fuel.

EIBIIE All! FIIEI. SYSTEM
Use clean fuel and keep it clean. The use of
funnels, cans and drums is not recommended
because they are difficult to keep clean.
Allow space for fuel expansion when adding
fuel to the tank. Atank filled to capacity may
overflow if exposed to arise in temperature or
direct sunlight.
Before starting the engine. check the fuel
tank cap to be certain it is tightened com‑
pletely against the stop.
ENGINE OIL
The engine crankcase is filled with ship-away
oil. This oil may be used for the first 5hours of
engine operation at temperatures between
+90 degrees F. and 0degrees F. If tem‑
peratures are not within this range, drain the
oil from the crankcase and replace with new
oil as specified in the “LUBRICATION
TABLE”. The engine oil must be drained and
replaced with new oil every 30 hours of
engine operation.
To aid starting, the selection of crankcase
lubricating oils should be based on the lowest
anticipated temperatures until the next drain
period.Refer to “LUBRICATION TABLE”.
We recommend j-l Low Ash Engine Oil for
gasoline engines. lH Low Ash Engine Oil
exceeds API Service Classification SE it is
specifically designed for heavy duty service
in gasoline engines, and is formulated to
minimize metallic deposits, lengthen spark
plug and valve life. IH Low Ash Oil used with
unleaded gasoline is the ideal combination to
maintain performance and extend engine life.
If other than IH Low Ash Engine Oil is used it
must meet API Service Classification SE. For
maximum engine life select API SE oils with
lowest levels of barium, calcium, or mag‑
nesium additives and minimum ash content
(approximately 0.5%). Lubricant suppliers will
normally furnish this information on their
engine oils.
Multi-viscosity numbered oils such as SAE
1ow-3o or SAE 10W-40 must not be used
above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Regularly check the oil level of the engine
crankcase to see that it is filled to the correct
level. NOTE: Check the oil level only while the
engine is stopped.
Always keep the oil level between the “FULL”
and the “LOW” marks on the gauge. When
checking the oil level the gauge must be with‑
drawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the
way and withdrawn for atrue reading.
Filling the Crankcase
To fill the crankcase with oil, place the tractor
on alevel surface. Clean the area around oil
flll plug before removing.
Remove oil filler plugand fill crankcase to the
full mark on oil level gauge. (Capacity 3pints).
Check oil level on oil level gauge before
adding more oil. Wipe off oil level gauge
before inserting it all the way into the tube,
then remove oil level gauge and check oil
level. DO NOT OVERFILL Oil level gauge
must be pushed fully into tube at all times
when engine is operating.
NOTE: Never overfill the engine crankcase.
Engine may overheat and/or damage may
result if the crankcase is below the “LOW"
mark or over the “FULL" mark. For oil
capacity refer to the “SPECIFICATION” and
“LUBRICATION TABLE” section.
FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
Be sure the shut-off valve under the fuel tank
is open.
To turn the fuel on, turn the knob coun‑
terclockwise to the stop.
To turn the fuel off, turn the knob clockwise
until it is tight.

Remove the throw-away can-type filter and
replace with anew filter after the first 10
hours and 50 hours of operation, and every
100 hours of operation thereafter.
NOTE: Clean the outside area before remov‑
ing the filter to keep dirt from getting into the

the tractor, the mower must be lowered to
facilitate removal of the filter.
To remove the filter, turn the filter counter‑
clockwise using an automotive type filter
wrench or an open end wrench.
Before installing the new filter, apply acoat‑
ing of oil on the filter gasket. Thread the filter
on by hand until tight enough to seat the
gasket. Loosen the filter. Then turn it until the
gasket contacts the base. Tighten the filter an
additional one half turn. Check for leaks and

ENGINE COOLING
This tractor has an air cooled engine. Air must
be able to circulate freely around the engine,
through the screen, shroud, and over the fins
of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep
these areas free of accumulated dirt and
trash or engine will overheat and result in
damaged moving parts. Periodically clean
the inside of the side panels and grill screen
for adequate cooling.
NOTE: This machine is designed to cool pro‑
perly with the engine side panels in place.
Operating the machine without panels in
place may result in inadequate cooling. Never
operate engine with blower housing or cool‑
ing shrouds removed. These direct air flow
past cooling fins. Removal results in improper
air circulation, overheating and engine

distribute oil evenly. D‐Wrap in shop towel
and squeeze to remove excess oil.
Discard used element and replace with new
one at least once ayear.
Servicing Paper Cartridge
This engine is equipped with adry type air
cleaner element, which should be checked
every 100 operating hours and replaced if
dirty. it should be checked and if necessary
replaced more often under extremely dirty
dusty conditions. Do not wash element in any
liquid or attempt to blow dirt off with air hose
as this will puncture filter element. Carefully
handle new element -- do not use if gasket
surfaces are bent or twisted. Check the
following when installing new. element.
1. Back plate must be flat on gasket of car‑
buretor elbow. Replace back plate if bent or
cracked.
2. Gasket surfaces of element must be flat
against back plate and cover to seal effec‑
tively.
3. Seal on cover must be in place to reduce
noise and vibration of the cover. Vibration can
cause stud hole in cover to enlarge, thus per‑
mitting dirt to enter carburetor.
4. Wing nuts must be finger tight -do not
overtighten.
Properly cleaned and installed air cleaner
elements are the best guarantee to continued
long and satisfactory engine life.
