TRACTOR
Always observe safety rules when per-
forming any maintenance.
BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to
stop at highest speed in highest gear on a
level, dry concrete or paved surface, then
brake must be serviced. (See "TO CHECK
BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires
(See PSI on tires).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may
cause tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent
flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant
may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry
rot and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM AND
REVERSE OPERATION
SYSTEM (ROS)
Be sure operator presence and reverse
operation systems are working properly. If
your tractor does not function as de-
scribed, repair the problem immediately.
• The engine should not start unless the
brake pedal is fully depressed, and the
attachment
clutch control is in the disen-
gaged position.
CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE
SYSTEM
• When the engine is running, any at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the parking brake
should shut off the engine.
• When the engine is running and the
attachment
clutch is engaged, any at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat
should shut off the engine.
• The attachment
clutch should never op-
erate unless the operator is in the seat.
CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS)
SYSTEM
• When the engine is running with the
ignition switch in the engine "ON" posi-
tion and the attachment clutch engaged,
any attempt by the operator to shift into
reverse should shut off the engine.
ROS "ON" Position
Engine "ON" Position

For best results mower blades must be sharp.
Replace worn, bent or damaged
blades.

facturer of your tractor is hazardous, could
damage your tractor and void your warranty.

low access to blades.

BATTERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system
which is sufficient for normal use. How-
ever, periodic charging of the battery with
an automotive charger will extend its life.
• Keep battery and terminals ciean.
• Keep battery bolts tight.
• Keep small vent holes open.
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.
NOTE: The original equipment battery on
your tractor is maintenance free. Do not
attempt to open or remove caps or covers.
Adding or checking level of electrolyte is
not necessary.
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and termi-
nals can cause the battery to "leak" power.
1. Disconnect BLACK battery cable first
then RED battery cable and remove
battery from tractor.
