Position the deck roller brackets up or down through
f.
the slots on the rear of the deck until desired
position is reached, then reattach with the clevis
pins and hairpin clips just removed. Be certain that
the left roller bracket and the right roller bracket are
set in the same position.
Refer to Leveling the Deck in the Maintenance section of this
manual for more detailed instructions regarding various deck
adjustments.
Adjusting the Seat
To adjust the position of the seat, pull up and hold the seat
adjustment lever. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the
desired position; then release the adjustment lever. Make sure
seat is locked into position before operating the tractor. See Fig.
3-5.
WARNING!
Before operating the tractor, make sure
the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the
parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull
back on seat until it clicks into place.
Gas and Oil
The fuel tank is located under the hood. Remove the fuel cap by
turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill the tank.
WARNING!
Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and all other
sources of ignition.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to STOP filling tank once fuel is seen
inside the filler neck. This ensures that a proper expansion
volume is created. Do NOT top off the tank. See Figure 3-6.
NOTE:
Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However,
you MUST check the oil level before operating.
CAUTION:
Always check the engine oil level before
each use as instructed in the Engine Owner’s
Manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may
result in serious damage to your engine
