OPERATION

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System

(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse

direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off

the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"

position.

_WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-

gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the

ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment

clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator

decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the

attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless

absolutely necessary.

USINGTHE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (See Fig. 13)

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders

will enter the mowing area.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise

to ROS "ON" position.

• Look down and behind before and while backing.

• Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) posi-

tion to start movement.

• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

TO TRANSPORT (See Fig. 14)

When pushing or towing your tractor, ensure to disengage

transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling

position. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar

of tractor.

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with attachment

lift control.

TRANSMiSSiON ENGAGED

TRANSMiSSiON DISENGAGED

• Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and release

so it is held in the disengaged position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, ensure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTH ER ATTACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications ofthe manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the fac-

tory, already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• 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.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use

fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasolinewith 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 inquantities

that can be used within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

iMPORTANT:WHEN OPERATINGINTEMPERATURESBELOW

32°F, USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO

HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

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 damagethe fuel sys=

tern 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.
