ASSEMBLY

All fasteners are in the parts bag. Do not dis-

card any parts or material until the unit is as-

sembled.

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 following 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) appart 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.

Check The Tyres

Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres

with too much air pressure will cause the unit

to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure

will keep the mower housing from cutting lev-

el. The correct air pressure is: Front Tyres

0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10

PSI)

. The tyres were over inflated for ship-

ment.

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 Mainte-

nance section of this instruction book.

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 of the battery (1) for the loca-

tion 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 caps from the battery

terminals.

3. Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the

battery (1). Charge at a rate of 6 amperes

for one hour. If you do not have a battery

charger, have an authorized service centre

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 caps from the battery

terminals.

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).

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, operation, maintenance, and stor-

age.

WARNING: Follow the engine manu-

facturer’s instructions for the type o

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

r Check the engine oil.

r Fill the fuel tank with petrol.

r Check the level of the mower hous-

ing.

r Check the air pressure of the tyres.

r Attach the battery cables.
