IMPORTANT: Fuel left in the fuel tank during warm weath-
er deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.
To prevent gum deposits from forming inside the engine's
carburetor and causing possible malfunction of the en-
gine, the fuel system must be either completely emptied,
or the gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to prevent
deterioration.
1.
If using a fuel stabilizer:
Read the product manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
Add to clean, fresh gasoline the correct amount of
stabilizer for the capacity of the fuel system.
Fill the fuel tank with treated fuel and run the
engine for 2-3 minutes to get stabilized fuel into the
carburetor.
2.
If emptying the fuel system:
Do not drain fuel when the engine is hot. Allow the
engine adequate time to cool. Drain fuel into an ap-
proved container outdoors, away from open flame.
Drain any large volume of fuel from the tank by
disconnecting the fuel line from the in-line fuel filter
near the engine.
Reconnect the fuel line and run the engine until
it starts to falter, then use the choke to keep the
engine running until all fuel in the carburetor has
been exhausted.
Again disconnect the fuel line and drain any remain-
ing gasoline from the system.
WARNING: Drain fuel only into an approved
container outdoors, away from an open flame.
Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior
to draining fuel.
Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine
oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Crank the
engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace the spark
plug.
Before storing for an extended period, clean and lubricate
the tractor as instructed in "Maintenance and Adjustments."
Cutting Deck Removal
To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
1.
Disengage the PTO (Blade Engage) and engage the
parking brake.
2.
Place the deck gauge wheels in their highest setting
(lowest deck setting).
3.
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
4.
Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left side
of the deck. Refer to Figure 7-1.
5.
Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck
from the deck lift arm. Pivot the support pin handle
downward to lock the pin in the disengaged position.
Refer to Figure 7-1.
6.
Move to the right side of the tractor and repeat the
previous step to release the deck from the RH lift arm.

6.
Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the right
fender to raise deck lift arms up and out of the way.
7.
Carefully slide the cutting deck forward until the front
deck hanger rod can be removed from the slots of the
hanger bracket at the front of the deck.
8.
The PTO belt is captured inside the PTO pulley on the
bottom of the engine by a belt keeper. From beneath
the front/left side of the tractor, locate the hex tapping
screw securing the left side of the belt keeper to the
bottom of the tractor frame. After first noting the frame
hole into which right side of the belt keeper is inserted,
remove the hex tapping screw and belt keeper. Slide
the PTO belt off the tractor's PTO pulley.
9.
While holding the front deck hanger rod upward to
clear the deck front hanger bracket, carefully slide the
deck out from the right side of the tractor.
Cutting Blades
WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off,
remove ignition key, disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) to prevent unintended starting before
removing the cutting blade(s) for sharpening or
replacement. Protect your hands by using heavy
gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blade.
The blades may be removed as follows.
Remove the deck from beneath the tractor, (refer to
Cutting Deck Removal) then gently flip the deck over to
expose its underside.
NOTE: A block of wood may be placed between the deck
housing and the cutting edge of the blade to help in
breaking loose the hex nut securing the blade.
Use a 15/16" wrench to loosen the hex flange nut securing
the blade to the bottom of the spindle assembly. Secure
the spindle by either holding the blade tightly, or by using
a second wrench to hold the nut at the top of the spindle.
Continue holding the blade onto the star hub of the
spindle, and remove the flange nut and cutting blade.
Repeat the previous steps to remove the other blade.
To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove equal
amounts of metal from both ends of the blades along
the cutting edges, parallel to the trailing edge, at a 25°
to 30° angle.
