take-off

is

engaged

to

absorb

the

initial

effect

of

the

added

load.

Tractor

ground

speed

can

be

regu¬

lated

with

the

transmission

throttle.

(The

power

take-off

must

be

disengaged

for

the

starter

to

operate.)

10.

Lift

Lever:

The

lift

lever

is

used

for

lifting

the

rotary

mower

or

other

implements

out

of

the

operating

position

so

they

can

be

transported.

The

implement

is

connected

to

the

lift

lever

either

with

a

lift

chain

or

a

lift

link

to

the

front

or

rear

of

the

tractor.

The

thumb

button

on

top

of

the

handle

is

pressed

to

disengage

the

latch

from

the

quadrant

so

the

lever

can

be

moved

forward

or

rearward

as

required

and

locked

in

position.

See

the

attachment

book

for

speci¬

fics

on

how

the

/ever

is

to

be

used

on

your

particular

im¬

plements.

All

attachments

pull

back

on

lift

lever

to

raise

and

release

forward

to

lower.

Attachment

when

lowered

operate

in

a

float

position.

Lift

lever

will

lock

only

in

the

raised

position.

BEFORE

STARTING

Though

your

dealer

may

have

performed

the

before

starting

check

listed

below,

we

suggest

you

personally

check

each

one

so

that

you

will

become

familiar

with

them

and

also

to

insure

that

your

tractor

is

ready

to

go

the

first

time

you

use

it.

1.

Tire

Inflation:

The

tractor

is

shipped

with

all

tires

in¬

flated

to

25

P.S.S.

Before

operating,

reduce

pressure

in

all

tires.

The

front

tires

12

to

15

P.S.l.

and

rear

6

to

8

P.S.I.

2.

Engine

Oil:

Be

sure

the

oil

in

the

engine

crankcase

is

at

the

proper

level.

See

your

Briggs

and

Stratton

manual

and

page

10

(Figure

Transmission

Oil:

Check

the

transmission

to

insure

it

is

filled

with

oil

to

the

proper

level.

See

page

Fuel

Supply:

Check

the

fuel

supply.

Fill

tank

complete¬

ly

with

clean,

fresh,

leaded

or

non-leaded

"Regular"

grade

automotive

gasoline.

(Do

not

mix

oil

with

gasoline).

Store

gasoline

in

small

quantities

as

prolonged

storage

produces

gum.

STARTING

THE

ENGINE

STOPPING

THE

ENGINE

1.

Insure

that

the

power

take-off

is

disengaged

by

moving

the

lever

to

the

rear

and

down.

The

engine

will

not

start

unless

the

power

take-off

is

disengaged.

(Figure

6)

2.

Place

the

transmission

shift

lever

in

the

neutral

position.

The

engine

will

not

start

unless

the

shift

lever

is

in

neutral.

(See

Figure

6)

3.

D

epress

the

clutch-brake

pedal

all

the

way

and

hold

it

down.

(See

Figure

7)

Figure

4.

Move

engine

speed

and

choke

control

lever

up

to

the

choke

position.

5.

Turn

the

ignition

key

clockwise

(see

Figure

8)

and

hold

until

the

engine

starts,

then

release.

Move

the

engine

speed

and

choke

control

lever

down

to

about

1/3

open.

6.

Before

applying

a

load,

allow

the

engine

to

warm

up

for

about

a

minute,

then

move

the

engine

speed

and

choke

control

lever

to

fast

or

slow

as

needed

for

the

operation.

1.

Move

the

engine

speed

and

choke

control

lever

to

the

slow

position

and

allow

the

engine

to

idle

for

about

a

min¬

ute

if

the

tractor

has

been

operating

under

full

load,

to

gradually

reduce

engine

temperature.

Stopping

a

hot

engine

too

suddenly

can

cause

damage

to

engine

parts.

2.

Turn

the

ignition

key

counter

clockwise

to

the

vertical

position

and

remove

the

key

to

prevent

unauthorized

use

of

the

tractor.

TRAVEL

SPEED

SELECTION

Tractor

ground

speed

can

be

determined

by

placing

the

transmission

in

any

one

of

three

forward

speeds

or

reverse,

by

adjusting

the

engine

speed

or

by

inching

(slipping)

the

clutch.

When

moving

the

tractor

from

place

to

place,

be

sure

any

attachments

are

in

the

raised

(travel)

position

and

the

power

take-off

disengaged.

You

may

find

it

appropriate

to

use

many

combinations

of

transmission

gear

and

engine

speed

selections

when

transporting

the

tractor.

The

follow¬

ing

guidelines

are

given:

Use

First

Gear:

When

traveling

over

rough

or

uneven

ground

or

on

hilly

terrain.

Use

Second

Gear:

On

slight

slopes

where

the

ground

is

fairly

level

and

even.

Use

Third

Gear:

When

traveling

a

distance

on

level

ground

or

pavement

which

is

smooth

and

even.

Place

the

engine

speed

and

choke

control

lever

one

third

to

one

half

open

when

beginning

travel.

After

starting

the

trac¬

tor

in

motion,

adjust

the

engine

speed

for

the

desired

rate

of

travel.

See

the

attachments

book

for

recommended

travel

speed

when

using

attachments.

SHIFTING

Always

depress

the

clutch-brake

pedal

and

bring

the

tractor

to

a

complete

stop

before

attempting

to

shift

gears.

To

shift

the

transmission

into

first

or

reverse

from

the

neutral

posi¬

tion

it

is

necessary

to

pull

UP

on

the

shift

lever

to

overcome

the

force

of

the

shift

fork

spring.

After

you

feel

the

lever

pass

the

spring,

push

the

shift

lever

to

the

left

or

right

and

place

the

transmission

into

reverse

or

first

gear

as

you

desire.

To

shift

into

second

or

third,

push

DOWN

on

the

shift

lever

until

you

feel

it

overcome

the

spring,

then

push

it

to

the

left

or

right

until

it

is

placed

into

second

or

third

gear.

If

the

gears

do

not

engage

easily,

it

may

be

helpful

to

let

the

clutch

out

for

an

instant

and

then

depress

it

again

to

rotate

the

gears

slightly.

5

STOPPING

1.

Slowly

depress

the

clutch-brake

pedal

until

the

tractor

stops.

2.

the

tractor

in

neutral

and

set

the

parking

brake.

3.

Disengage

the

power

take-off

clutch

and

lower

any

at¬

tachments

to

the

ground.

4.

If

the

engine

has

been

running

under

full

load,

allow

the

engine

to

idle

about

a

minute

before

turning

the

ignition

key

counterclockwise

to

the

OFF

position.

5.

Remove

the

key

to

prevent

unauthorized

use

of

the

trac¬

tor.

ADJUSTMENTS

Clutch

and

Brake

Rod:

The

correct

adjustment

of

the

clutch

and

brake

pedal

link¬

age

is

vital

to

smooth

machine

motion

and

braking.

These

adjustments

also

determine

the

effectiveness

of

the

anti-

rollback

feature.

You

may

wish

to

raise

the

tractor

to

the

vertical

position.

Be

sure

to

drain

fuel

if

necessary,

and

remove

battery

before

tilting

the

tractor.

Make

the

adjust¬

ments

as

follows:

-

<5'9

Depress

the

foot

pedal

and

check

the

contact

of

the

brake

band

with

the

brake

drum.

The

band

must

conform

fully

to

the

curvature

of

the

drum.

If

it

does

not,

loosen

the

bolt

as

shown

and

align

the

band

with

the

drum.

Tighten

the

bolt.

(See

Figure

With

the

foot

pedal

released

(up),

secure

the

brake

rod

set

collar

against

the

tapered

coil

spring.

Be

sure

to

position

the

collar

as

shown

in

Figure

10

so

that

the

spring

is

NOT

compressed.

Depress

the

foot

pedal

all

the

way

down,

ft

should

stop

two

and

one-half

inches

from

the

foot

rest

edge

as

shown

in

Figure

11.

Re-adjust

the

set

collar

if

necessary

to

obtain

the

two

and

one-half

inch

distance.

Figure

With

the

foot

pedal

released

(up

so

the

clutch

idler

pul¬

ley

is

pressed

firmly

against

the

belt

(Figure

12),

the

dis¬

tance

between

the

clutch

rod,

elastic

stop

nut

and

the

end

of

the

rod

guide

should

be

five-eights

(5/8)

inch

as

With

the

elastic

stop

nut

adjusted

correctly

on

the

clutch

rod

depress

the

foot

pedal

all

the

way

and

adjust

the

set

collar

at

the

rear

of

the

spring

so

that

the

clutch

rod

spring

is

just

free

to

rotate

on

the

rod.

(See

Figure

14)

Belt

Stops:

If

the

main

drive

belt

will

not

stop

when

the

clutch

is

depressed,

the

belt

stops

may

need

adjusting.

The

belt

stops

on

the

tractor

should

be

adjusted

so

there

is

one-sixteenth

to

one-eighth

inch

between

the

belt

stop

and

the

belt

when

the

belt

is

tight

(clutch

engaged).

To

adjust

a

belt

stop,

loosen

the

bolt

holding

it,

move

the

belt

stop

to

the

proper

position

and

re-tighten

the

bolt.

Check

the

ad¬

justment

after

the

bolt

has

been

tightened.
