ASSEMBLY
All fasteners are in the parts bag. Do not discard
any parts or material until the unit is assembled.
WARNING: Before doing any as-
sembly or maintenance to the
mower, remove the wire from the
spark plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right
describe the location of a part with the oper-
ator on the seat.
NOTE: Illustrations and pictorials begin on
page 2.
NOTE: To assemble the loose parts, use the
fasteners shown at full size in Figure 37.
How To Install The Front Wheels
(Figure 1)
NOTE: Use a piece of wood about 4 feet (1.25
meters) long to raise the front of the tractor.
If a piece of wood cannot be found, get
another person to help lift the tractor. Be
careful, do not let the tractor fall.
1. Raise the front of the tractor. Set a support
(block of wood) under the tractor.
2. Make sure the valve stem (2) is to the out-
side of the tractor. Slide the front wheel (1)
on the spindle (3).
3. Fasten each front wheel (1) with washer
(4), washer (7), and cotter pin (5). Bend the
ends of the cotter pin (5) apart to keep the
front wheel (1) on the spindle (3).
4. After the front wheels (1) are installed, lift
the tractor from the support. Roll the tractor
off of the container.
5. If your tractor has hub caps (6), install the
hub caps (6). Make sure the washers (4)
hold the hub caps (6) in place.
How To Install The Seat (Figure 2)
1. Carefully remove the plastic bag from the
seat (1).
2. Align the holes in the seat hinge (2) to the
holes in the seat (1). Fasten the seat (1) to
the seat hinge (2) with the fasteners (4) and
(5).
3. Check the operating position of the seat (1).
If the seat (1) needs to be adjusted, loosen
the two wing bolts (5). Slide the seat (1) for-
ward or backward along the seat adjusting
holes (3). Tighten the wing bolts (5).
How To Assemble The Steering Wheel
(Figure 3)
1. Make sure the front wheels point forward.
2. Slide the cover (3) over the steering post
(2). Make sure the collar of the cover (3) is
on top.
3. Slide the steering wheel (1) onto the steer-
ing post (2).
4. Attach the steering wheel (1) to the steer-
ing post (2) with screw (4) and washer (6).
5. Some models have an optional insert (7) in
the parts bag. Attach the insert (7) to the
center of the steering wheel (1).

How To Assemble The Grass Bag
1. (Figure 5) Slide the top tube (1) onto the
wire frame (2). Make sure the handles (3)
on the top tube (1) and the wire frame (2)
are on top.
2. Attach the struts (4) to the INSIDE of the
mounting tabs (5) with bolt (6) and nut (7).
Make sure the head of bolt (6) is on the out-
side and nut (7) is locked against the strut
(4).
3. (Figure 6) Slide the frame assembly (8) into
the grass bag (9). Make sure the Velcro
flap (10) is on top.
4. (Figure 7) Open the Velcro flap (10). Slide
the handle (3) through the opening and se-
cure the Velcro flap (10) under the handle
(3).
5. Attach the clips (11) to the frame assembly
(8).
How To Mount The Grass Bag
1. (Figure 8) To lift the grass bag assembly,
use the grass bag handles (3).
2. (Figure 9) Mount the top of the grass bag
assembly (12) onto the rear plate hinges
(13).
3. (Figure 8) When mounting the top of the
grass bag (9), hold the bottom of the grass
bag (9) slightly away from the rear plate
(14).
4. (Figure 10) Then, lower the grass bag (9)
until the bottom is against the rear plate.
5. (Figure 9) Push down on the rear handle. A
locking spring (15) on the rear plate will se-
cure the bottom of the grass bag assembly
(12).
Maintenance Free Battery (Figure 4)
IMPORTANT: Before you attach the battery
cables to the battery, check the battery date.
The battery date tells if the battery must be
charged.
1. Check the top and the side of the battery (1)
for the location of the battery date.
2. If the battery (1) is put into service before
the battery date, the battery cables can be
attached without charging the battery (1).
See "How To Install The Battery Cables".
3. If the battery (1) is put into service after the
battery date, the battery (1) must be
charged. See "How To Charge The Mainten-
ance Free Battery".
How To Charge The Battery (Figure 4)
WARNING: When you charge the
battery, do not smoke. Keep the bat-
tery away from any sparks. The
fumes from the battery acid can cause an
explosion.
1. Remove the battery (1) and battery tray (3).
2. Remove the protective cap from the battery
terminal.
3. Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the
battery (1). Charge at a rate of 6 amps for
one hour. If you do not have a battery
charger, have an authorized service center
charge the battery.

4. Install the battery (1) and battery tray (3).
Make sure the positive (+) terminal (4) is on
the left side.
How To Install The Battery Cables
(Figure 4)
WARNING: To prevent sparks, fasten
the red cable to the positive (+) ter-
minal before you connect the black
cable.
1. Remove the protective cap from the battery
terminal.
2. Slide the terminal cover (2) onto the red
cable (5). Fasten the red cable (5) to the
positive (+) terminal (4) with the fasteners
(6) and (7).
3. Fasten the black cable 8 to the negative (--)
terminal with the fasteners (6) and (7).
Check The Tires
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too
much air pressure will cause the unit to ride
rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the
mower housing from cutting level. The correct
air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),
Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tires were
over inflated for shipment.
Check The Level Of The Mower
Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After
you mow a short distance, look at the area that
was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level,
see the instructions on "How To Level The
Mower Housing" in the Maintenance section of
this instruction book.
How To Prepare The Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac-
tory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil.
Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer's instructions for
the type of petrol and oil to use. Before you use
the unit, read the information on safety, oper-
ation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manu-
facturer's instructions for the type of
petrol and oil to use. Always use a
safety petrol container. Do not smoke when
adding petrol to the engine. When inside an
enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you
add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine
cool for several minutes.
Important! Before You Start Mowing
Check the engine oil.
Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
Check the air pressure of the tires.
Check the level of the mower hous-
ing.
Attach the battery cables.
