e. Insert the shoulder screw through the rear

gauge wheel and slide the belleville washer,

crowned (rounded) side toward the shoulder,

onto the shoulder screw. Install the shoulder

screw, with wheel and washer, into the index

hole that leaves approximately 1/2" between

the bottom of the wheel and the pavement.

Secure with the lock nut.

f. Note the position of the index hole used; then

install the other rear gauge wheel and the

front ball wheels into the corresponding index

hole of the other gauge wheel brackets.

• If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance with

the surface below, lower the wheels to the index

hole that provides the approximate 1/2" clearance

as described above.

Refer to Leveling the Deck on page 17 of this manual for

more detailed instructions regarding various deck

adjustments.

Starting the Engine

WARNING:

Do not operate the tractor if the

interlock system is malfunctioning. This

system was designed for your safety and

protection.

NOTE:

Refer to the TRACTOR SET-UP on page 8 of this

manual for Gasoline and Oil fill-up instructions.

• Insert the tractor key into the ignition switch.

• Place the PTO knob in the disengaged (OFF)

position.

• Engage the tractor’s parking brake.

• Move the throttle control to midway between its

SLOW and FAST positions.

• Pull the choke control outward.

• Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START

position. After the engine starts, release the key. It

will return to the ON position.

IMPORTANT:

Do NOT hold the key in the START

position for longer than five seconds at a time. Doing so

may cause damage to your engine’s electric starter. If

the engine does not start right away, wait 15 seconds

and try again.

• After the engine starts, deactivate the choke

control.

• After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up

by running it for 3 to 5 minutes at mid throttle before

putting the equipment under load.

NOTE:

Do NOT operate the tractor with the choke

control in any position other than fully depressed

(choke open). Doing so will result in a "rich" fuel mixture

and cause the engine to run poorly.

Stopping the Engine

WARNING:

If you strike a foreign object,

stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug

wire(s) and ground against the engine.

Thoroughly inspect the machine for any

damage. Repair the damage before restarting

and operating.

• If the blades are engaged, place the PTO knob in

the disengaged (OFF) position.

• Move the throttle control to the SLOW position and

allow the engine to idle for about one minute.

• Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the STOP

position.

• Engage the parking brake and remove the key from

the ignition switch to prevent unintended starting.

Engaging the Parking Brake

To engage the parking brake:

• Fully depress the brake pedal and hold it there

while gently pushing the parking brake lever

downward.

• Hold the parking brake lever down while removing

your foot from the brake pedal.

• Once engaged, the parking brake lever and the

brake pedal will lock in the “down” position.

To disengage the parking brake:

• Slightly depress the brake pedal.

NOTE:

The parking brake must be engaged if the

operator leaves the seat with the engine running or the

engine will automatically shut off.
