• Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline
by volume) is an approved fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends,
such as E85, are not approved.
• Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline
blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are ap-
proved fuels. Other gasoline/ether blends are not approved.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch
below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot
or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
• If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
TO ADD GASOLINE
1. Turn the engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes be-
fore removing the fuel cap. The gasoline tank is located under
the hood. Remove the fuel cap by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Use only clean, fresh (no
more than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no more
than 1/2 inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel
expansion.
3. Reinstall the fuel cap.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill
the tank. Fill tank to no more
than 1/2 inch below bottom of
filler neck to allow space for fuel
expansion. See Fig. 5.

THROTTLE / CHOKE CONTROL
The throttle control lever is located on the left side of the trac-
tor's dash panel, see Fig. 4-1. This lever controls the speed of
the engine, as well as the choke when it is pushed all the way
forward. When set in a given position, the throttle will main-
tain a uniform engine speed.
IMPORTANT: When operating the trac-
tor with the cutting deck engaged, be cer-
tain that the throttle lever is always in the
FAST position.
Moving the throttle lever all the way for-
ward activates the engine's choke control.
See Figure 6. Activating the choke control
closes the choke plate on the carburetor
and aids in starting the engine.
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch is activated to
start the engine. Insert key into the
ignition switch and turn clockwise
to the START position.
Release the key into the ON position
once engine has fired. See Fig. 7.
WARNING: Never leave a running machine unattended. Al-
ways disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral position, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unin-
tended starting.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both
Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine in the Opera-
tion section of this manual for detailed instructions regarding
the Ignition Switch
Module.
CLUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of the lawn
tractor, along the running board. Depress the clutch-brake
pedal part way down when slowing the tractor by changing
speeds (Refer to Speed Control Lever). Depress the pedal all the
way down to engage the disc brake and bring the tractor to a
complete stop.
NOTE: The clutch-brake pedal must be depressed to start the
engine. Refer to Safety Interlock Switches in the Operation sec-
tion of this manual.
SHIFT LEVER
The shift lever is located on the left side
of the fender and has three positions,
FORWARD, NEUTRAL and REVERSE.
The brake pedal must be depressed and
the tractor must not be in motion when
moving the shift lever. See Figure 8.
IMPORTANT: Never force the shift
lever. Doing so may result in serious
damage to the tractor's transmission.
