direction until it stops, it will shut off the flow of fuel
to the engine. When turned in a counterclockwise
direction it will open and allow fuel to flow to the
engine. Close this valve if you are not going to run
the mower for a period of 30 minutes or more to
prevent flooding the engine.
8. Seat Adjustment Lever: The Seat Adjustment
Lever is located beneath the seat. The Seat Adjust-
ment Lever is used to move the seat forward and
backward. To place the seat in the desired position
pull the seat adjustment lever to the left then push
the seat forward or back to the desired position.
Release the lever so the seat will lock in place.
9. Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter: (See Figure
1) Located on the right side of the mower in front of
the ignition switch. When the machine is running
the tachometer displays engine rpm. When the
machine is off the tachometer displays running
time.
10. Choke Lever: (See Figure 1) The Choke Lever is
located on the left instrument panel next to the
seat. The Choke Lever is operated manually. Hav-
ing the Choke Lever in the ON position helps the
engine to start during initial start-up. During normal
operation the Choke Lever should be in the OFF
position.
Note:
The Tanks equipped with E.F.I. do not
have a choke control.
Note:
There will be a flashing “LUBE” for each
recommended lubrication interval. There is a
flashing “OIL” at each recommended engine oil
and filter change.
C.Initial Adjustments
1. Check the fluid levels and tires:
Note:
These checks should be made daily,
before starting the engine.
a. Fuel: Using a good grade of unleaded, regular
gasoline (for a gasoline engine), fill the fuel
tank (beside the engine on the left or right side
of the mower). When the fuel reaches one
inch from the top of the tank, stop. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Space must be left for expansion.
b. Engine Oil: (Filled at the factory before ship-
ment.) Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it off and
reinsert it. Pull it out again and read the oil
level. If it is below the operating range, add oil
through the fill tube using a funnel to bring it
up to the top of the operating range.
Note:
Gasoline Engine: Use SAE 10W30 or
SAE 10W40 engine oil, rated for service SJ. Shell
Rimula 15W40 is also recommended and provides
service SL and CI-4 plus.
c. Hydraulic Oil: (Filled at the factory before
shipment.) The hydraulic oil tank is located
beneath the operator’s seat. Always wipe off
the area around the oil tank fill neck before
checking the oil level to prevent dirt from con-
taminating the oil. Remove the cap and make
sure the oil level is a 1/4” below the oil tank fill
neck. If the oil level is low, fill with Shell Rimula
15W40 or equivalent oil. Equivalent oil should
meet GM Allison C-4.
d. Tires: 8-10 psi Rear, 20-25 psi Front Caster
Tires
Note:
New tires are overinflated in order to
properly seat the bead to the rim. The normal
working pressure for the traction tires is 8-10 psi.
The front caster wheels should be inflated to 20-
25 psi.
2. Check that all Nuts, Bolts and Screws are
Tight.
3. Check the tension of the deck drive belts.
a. Remove the deck cover
b. The tension of the deck drive belts are main-
tained by a spring mechanism that adjusts for
wear and stretch.
c. Examine the belts for cuts, fraying, and
excessive wear. Replace if any of these are
detected.
d. Replace the deck cover.
4. Adjust the Mowing Deck: The cutting height is
set anywhere in the range of 1" to 5". You may
need to adjust the mowing deck to achieve the
proper pitch angle for mowing. Follow the proce-
dures below to set the appropriate angle to the
mowing deck.
a. Park the mower on a flat paved surface,
engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
remove the key from the ignition switch,
remove connection of the spark plugs and
using the second foot pedal, lower the mowing
deck into the cutting position.
b. Using a ruler, pencil and paper, measure and
note the distance from the paved surface to
the bottom edge of the mowing blade at the
front and the back of the deck on each side of
the mower. (Four dimensions.)
Note:
The front edge of the mowing deck
should be 1/8"-1/4" below the rear edge of the
deck so that the blades are cutting grass in only
the front half of their circular path. This decreases
friction and reduces the drive power required.
c. If the dimension at the front of the mowing
deck is 1/8"-1/4" lower than the dimension at
the rear of the deck on each side of the
mower, do not adjust. If not, you will need to
adjust the Deck Lift Spring Assist
