Operator Platform Suspension
Adjustment
The lower mounting position of the shock assembly linkage
(A, Figure 32) that connects to the operator platform (B)
can be positioned into one of the five available positions
to customize the ride according to the operator's weight
and/or operating conditions. The lower mounting position
closest to the engine (labelled # 1, Figure 32) is for light-
weight operators, which will provide a softer, more cushioned
ride. As the shock assembly linkage is moved towards the
furthest lower mounting position away from the engine deck
(labelled # 5) the machine can accommodate heavier-weight
operators, and provide a stiffer more rigid ride.

To Adjust the Lower Mounting Position:
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, engage the parking brake, turn the ignition switch to
OFF, and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove the clevis pin (C, Figure 32) and hair pin (D) that
secure the shock assembly linkage (A) to the operator
platform (B).
3. Pivot the shock assembly linkage to the next higher
numbered hole (see Figure 32) and secure to the
operator platform using the clevis pin and hair pin.
4. Continue to reposition the shock assembly linkage to
the next higher numbered hole until the desired ride is
achieved.

Storage

Temporary Storage (30 Days or Less)
26
Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so
never store the unit indoors or in any other area where fuel
vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also
toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any structure used
for human or animal habitation.
WARNING
Never store the unit, with gasoline in engine or fuel tank,
in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion.
Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result in serious fire damage to your
person or property.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away from
open flame or sparks.
Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit
temporarily or in between uses:
• Keep the unit in an area away from where children
may come into contact with it. If there's any chance of
unauthorized use, remove the spark plug (s) and put in a
safe place. Be sure the spark plug opening is protected
from foreign objects with a suitable cover.
• If the unit can't be stored on a reasonable level surface,
chock the wheels.
• Clean all grass and dirt from the mower.
Long Term Storage (Longer Than 30 Days)
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules
section, then perform the following steps:
1. Drain crankcase oil while engine is hot and refill with a
grade of oil that will be required when unit is used again.
2. Prepare the mower deck for storage as follows:
a.) Remove mower deck from the unit.
b.) Clean underside of mower deck.
c.) Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat of
oil to prevent rusting.
3. Clean external surfaces and engine.
4. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner's manual.
5. Clean any dirt or grass from cylinder head cooling fins,
engine housing and air cleaner element.
6. Cover air cleaner and exhaust outlet tightly with plastic or
other waterproof material to keep out moisture, dirt and
insects.
7. Completely grease and oil unit as outlined in the
Lubrication section.
8. Clean up unit and apply paint or rust preventative to any
areas where paint is chipped or damaged.
9. Be sure the battery is filled to the proper level with water
and is fully charged. Battery life will be increased if it is
removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about
