CONTROLS IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it operate until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage for additional information. Do not use engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Tracking If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure for the rear tires is 15 psi (1 bar). 1. Tracking adjustments are made using the tracking bolts. The tracking bolts limit the motion control levers when in the full-forward position. 2. For preliminary tracking adjustment, move unit to an open, unobstructed area such as an HPSW\SDUNLQJORWRURSHQ¿HOG 3. Using a 1/2" wrench, back the tracking bolts RXWXQWLOÀXVKZLWKQXW 4. Test operate unit by driving it at full throttle and the full forward position on both motion control levers. Gradually turn in the tracking bolt on the right hand side until the unit noticeably starts drifting right. 5. Drive forward at full throttle with both motion control levers in the full forward position. Gradually turn in the left tracking bolt until unit tracks straight. Read the Safety section and following pages, if you are unfamiliar with the machine. Training Due to unique steering capabilities, zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers. Review this section fully prior to trying to move the PRZHUXQGHULWVRZQSRZHU:KHQ¿UVWRSHUDWLQJ the mower or until becoming comfortable with controls, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground speed. DO NOT move control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation. First time users must become familiar with the mower's movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to trying to operate on turf. Until the operator becomes comfortable with the mower controls and zero turning capability, overly aggressive maneuvers may damage turf. Steering To move forward and backward The direction and speed of the mower's PRYHPHQWVDUHHႇHFWHGE\WKHPRYHPHQWRIWKH control lever(s) on each side of mower. The left control lever controls the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right wheel. First time users must push the mower (see Moving Machine By Hand in the Operation VHFWLRQ WRDQRSHQÀDWDUHDZLWKRXWRWKHU persons, vehicles or obstacles nearby. To move the unit under its own power, the operator must sit in the seat and start the engine (see Before Starting in the Operation section). Adjust the engine speed to idle, disengage the park brake but do not engage the blades at this time. Pull control levers inward. As long as the control levers have not been moved forward or backwards, the mower will not move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly. This will let the mower start moving forward in a straight line. Pull the control levers back to the neutral position and stop the mower from moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, allowing the mower to move backwards. Push the control levers forward to the neutral position to stop the mower from moving. To turn to the right While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. 16 MANTENIMIENTO 4.
