raising the rear deck, shown in Figure 5. To raise the rear deck,

place the Hydrostatic Control Lever in the “PARK/START” posi

the rear wheels will be mechanically locked.

The tractor will not move under power unless the free-wheeling

valves are closed (button out), by rotating cam down.

LUBRICATION

^FILLING THE FUEL TANK

The fuel tank filler cap is located behind the seat, see Figure 7.

Wipe the dust and dirt from around the cap before removing it to

prevent dirt from falling into the tank while filling. Use an ap

proved gasoline container and keep it clean.

The fuel tank capacity is 4.5 U.S. gallons.

Use unleaded gasoline. Leaded fuel (regular or low-lead) may be

used if unleaded is not available. Be sure the gasolne is clean

and fresh. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Gasahol is not recom

mended. See Engine Instructions.
