Operating Safety

Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is

misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!

Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of those

around you. Use common sense, and think through what you are

doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform

can be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a

professional: contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

The operator’s manual contains important safety information you

need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as

DURING operation.

Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features

and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you

get the most out of your equipment investment.

Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found

on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them

anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often

attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a

risk that children may enter the area where you are mowing,

have another responsible adult watch them.

DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This

encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it

is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then

approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it,

and you may run over them.

Reverse

Do not mow in reverse unless

absolutely necessary.

Always look down and

behind before and while

traveling in reverse even

with the mower blades

disengaged.

Safe Operation Practices

Not for

Reproduction

Slope Operation

You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too

steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you

don’t have adequate traction can cause you to lose control or roll over.

A good rule of thumb is to not operate on any slope you cannot back up

(in 2-wheel drive mode). You should not operate on inclines with a slope

greater than a 3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length. Always drive up and

down slopes: never cross the face.

Also note that the surface you are driving on can greatly impact stability

and control. Wet grass or icy pavement can seriously aect your ability

to control the unit.

If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it. It’s

not worth the risk.

Moving Parts

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else.

However, if you are seated in the seat properly and follow all the rules in this book,

the unit is safe to operate.

The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate hands and feet.

Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running!

To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an

operator-present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system.

See your dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock

system tests found in this manual.

Thrown Objects

This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick up and throw

debris that could seriously injure a bystander. Be sure to clean up the area to

be mowed BEFORE you start mowing.

Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or discharge guard

(deector) in place.

Do not allow anyone in the mowing area while the unit is running! If someone

does enter the area, shut the unit o immediately until they leave.

Fuel and Maintenance

Gasoline is extremely ammable. Its vapors are also extremely ammable

and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as

a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. Fuel should never be stored any place

where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot

light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the tractor

fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up

immediately.

Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit.

Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual and be

sure to periodically test the safety system.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the man-

ual and on the unit before starting.

2. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

times.

3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the

instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can re-

strict operator age).

4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s).

5. Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.

Stop the unit if anyone enters the area.

6. Never carry passengers.

7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-

ways look down and behind before and while travelling in

reverse.

8. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma-

terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the

blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.

9. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass

catcher, discharge guard (deector), or other safety de-

vices in place.

10. Slow down before turning.

11. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disen-

gage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and re-

move keys before dismounting.

12. Disengage blades (PTO) when not mowing. Shut o en-

gine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop be-

fore cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher,

or unclogging the discharge guard.

13. Operate the machine only in daylight or good articial

light.

14. Do not operate the unit while under the inuence of alco-

hol or drugs.

15 Watch for trac when operating near or crossing road-

ways.

16. Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a

trailer or truck.

17. Always wear eye protection when operating this unit.

18. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of power equipment-

related injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the equipment safely enough to protect

themselves and others from injury.

19. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights.

20. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents

occurring to other people or property.

21. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and prac-

tical instruction.

22. Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never

operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.

23. Before using, always visually check that the blades and

blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace

worn or damaged parts.

24. Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an

attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment

can be made from the operator’s position).

25. When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended,

lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical

lock is used.

26. Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason,

engage the parking brake (if equipped), disengage the

PTO, stop the engine, and remove the key.

27. To reduce re hazard, keep the unit free of grass, leaves,

& excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry leaves, grass,

or combustible materials.

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control

of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.

This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.

The triangle in text signies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

1. When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure

it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is

facing backwards, wind lift could damage the unit.

2. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling prac-

tices when refueling the unit after transportation or stor-

age.

3. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly

ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition

source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause

an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and ani-

mals.

4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for stor-

age preparations before storing the unit for both short

and long term periods.

5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper

start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there

is an open ame or pilot light, such as in a water heater.

Allow unit to cool before storing.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit

and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will re-

main where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of another responsible adult.

2. Be alert and turn unit o if children enter the area.

3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and

down for small children.

4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) o. They

may fall o and be seriously injured or interfere with safe

unit operation. Children who have been given rides in

the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for

another ride and be run over or backed over by the ma-

chine.

5. Never allow children to operate the unit.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

EMISSIONS

1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals

known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth de-

fects, or other reproductive harm.

2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air

Index information on the engine emissions label.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over

accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation

on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the

slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it.

Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a slope

will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main

reasons for loss of control are: insucient tire grip on the

ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of ma-

chine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the ground

conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop or

change speeds while on the slope.

4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may loose traction.

5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling down

slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires

lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly

straight down the slope.

7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could

cause the machine to rollover.

8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass

catchers or other attachments; they can aect the stabil-

ity of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.

9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on

the ground (ride-on units).

10. Do not mow near drop-os, ditches, or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cli or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.

12. Do not mow slopes you cannot back up them.

13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations

of wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even

through the brakes are functioning properly.

16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn

slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.



1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight

limit for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may

cause loss of traction and loss of control.

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent

(10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in

20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel

weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to

determine which weights are available and appropriate

for your unit.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.

In addition to front weights, use extra caution when

operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers.

Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,

use caution when changing directions and DO NOT

START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before lling.

7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer

and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then re-

fuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container,

rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

10. Never over-ll the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

11. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They

are ammable and vapors are explosive.

12. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors

have dissipated.

13. Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps se-

curely.

Service & Maintenance

1. Never run the unit in an enclosed area where carbon

monoxide fumes may collect.

Clean up oil or fuel spillage. and remove any fuel-soaked

debris. Allow machine to cool before storage.

5. If you strike an object, stop and inspect the machine.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

6. Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine run-

ning.

7. Check grass catcher components and the discharge

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s recom-

mended parts, when necessary.

8. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,

and use extra caution when servicing them.

9. Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as

required.

10. Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as

necessary.

11. Do not remove the fuel lter when the engine is hot as

spilled gasoline may ignite. Do not spread fuel line

clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip

hoses rmly over the lter after installation.

12. Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol

containing more than 10% ETHANOL, gasoline addi-

tives, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage

could result.

13. If the fuel tank must be drained, it should be drained out-

doors.

14. Replace faulty silencers/muers.

15. Use only factory authorized replacement parts when

making repairs.

16. Always comply with factory specications on all settings

and adjustments.

17. Only authorized service locations should be utilized for

major service and repair requirements.

18. Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit unless

you have been properly trained. Improper service proce-

dures can result in hazardous operation, equipment dam-

age and voiding of manufacturer’s warranty.

19. On multiple blade mowers, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

20. Do not change engine governor settings or over-speed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed

can increase the hazard of personal injury.

21. Disengage drive attachments, stop the engine, remove

the key, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) before:

clearing attachment blockages and chutes, performing

service work, striking an object, or if the unit vibrates ab-

normally. After striking an object, inspect the machine for

damage and make repairs before restarting and operat-

ing the equipment.

22. Never place hands near the moving parts, such as a

hydro pump cooling fan, when the tractor is running.

(Hydro pump cooling fans are typically located on top of

the transaxle).

23. Units with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors: WARN-

ING: Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure may have

sucient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury.

If foreign uid is injected into the skin it must be surgically

removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this

form of injury or gangrene may result. Keep body and

hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic

uid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, and

not hands, to search for leaks. Make sure all hydraulic

uid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and

lines are in good condition before applying pressure to

the system. If leaks occur, have the unit serviced imme-

diately by your authorized dealer.

24. WARNING: Stored energy device. Improper release of

springs can result in serious personal injury. Springs

should be removed by an authorized technician.

25. Models equipped with an engine radiator: WARNING:

Stored energy device. To prevent serious bodily injury

from hot coolant or steam blow-out, never attempt to re-

move the radiator cap while the engine is running. Stop

the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, use ex-

treme care when removing the cap.

Features and Controls

Not for

Reproduction

Brake Pedal

Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor

brake.

Ground Speed Control Pedals

The forward ground speed pedal controls the

tractor’s forward ground speed. The reverse

ground speed pedal controls the tractor’s reverse

ground speed.

Height-of-Cut Adjustment Lever

This adjusts the mower cutting height. Move the

height-of-cut lever forward to lower the mower

cutting height, and back to raise the mower

cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable

between 3,8 cm (1,5”) and 10,2 cm (4,0”).

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it

has three positions:

OFF Stops the engine and shuts o

the electrical system.

RUN Allows the engine to run and

powers the electrical system.

START Cranks the engine for starting.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the

RUN position with the engine stopped. This

drains the battery.



This engages and disengages attachments that

use the PTO. To engage the PTO, pull UP on the

switch. Push DOWN to disengage.

NOTE: The operator must be seated rmly in the

tractor seat for the PTO to function.

Parking Brake

This locks the parking brake when the tractor is

stopped. See Parking Brake section.

Transmission Release Lever

This releases the transmission so that the tractor

can be pushed by hand. See Pushing the Trac-

tor By Hand.

Fuel Tank Cap

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.

Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)

This allows the operator to mow while traveling in

reverse. To activate, turn the RMO key after the

PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate,

and the operator can then mow in reverse. Each

time the PTO is engaged, the RMO needs to be

reactivated if desired.

Throttle/Choke Control

This controls the engine speed and choke. Move

the throttle/choke control to the FAST position to

increase engine speed, and to the SLOW posi-

tion to decrease engine speed. Move the throttle/

choke control past the FAST position to the

CHOKE position to start a cold engine. A warm

engine may not require choking.

NOTE: Always operate the rider with the throttle/

choke control in the FAST position.

Seat Adjustment Knobs

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Lift

the seat up, loosen the wing knobs, position the

seat as desired, and tighten the wing knobs.

Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:

• PTO is engaged, OR

• Brake pedal is NOT fully depressed (parking brake

OFF), OR

Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank and start if:

• Operator is sitting in seat, AND.

• PTO is disengaged, AND

• Brake pedal is fully depressed (parking brake ON),

AND

Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:

• Operator rises o seat.

Test 4 — Check Mower Blade Stopping Time

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a

complete stop within ve seconds after PTO is disen-

gaged. If mower drive belt does not stop within ve sec-

onds, see an authorized dealer.

Test 5 — Check Reverse Mow Option (RMO)

• Engine should shut o if reverse travel is attempted if

the PTO is engaged and RMO has not been activated.

• RMO light should illuminate when RMO has been acti-

vated.

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty

Certied oils for best performance. Other high-quality de-

tergent oils are acceptable if classied for service SF, SG,

SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for

the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil

consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Safety Interlock System Tests

This unit is equipped with safety interlock switches and

other safety devices. These safety systems are present for

your safety: do not attempt to bypass safety switches, and

never tamper with safety devices.

Operation

WARNING

If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not oper-

ate it. See an authorized dealer.

WARNING

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystand-

ers. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert

to the presence of children. Never activate the RMO if

children are present. Children are often attracted to the unit

and the mowing activity.

Check the Tire Pressure

Tires should be checked periodically to provide the

optimum traction and to guarantee the best cut (see

Figure 7).

NOTE: These pressures may dier slightly from the

“Maximum Ination” stamped on the side walls of the tires.

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)

will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on

the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check

the oil level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches

the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pres-

sure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not

start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the

oil pressure problem corrected.

1. Pull up tractor hood to access the fuel tank.

2. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove

the fuel cap (A, Figure 9).

3. Fill the fuel tank (B) with fuel. To allow for expansion

of the fuel, do not ll above the bottom of the fuel tank

neck.

4. Reinstall the fuel cap.

Check or Add Oil

Before adding or checking the oil

• Place engine level.

• Clean the oil ll area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 8) and wipe with a

clean cloth.

2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should

be at the FULL mark (B) on the dipstick.

4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil ll (C). Do not

 After adding oil, wait one minute and then

recheck the oil level.

NOTE: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain (if equipped).

5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 1,524 meters (5,000 feet), a minimum 85

octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain

emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.

Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased

performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased

emissions. See an authorized dealer for high altitude ad-

justment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 762 meters

(2,500 feet) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High alti-

tude use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to

15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as

E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run

on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine compo-

nents and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel

stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is

not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,

change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is

certied to operate on gasoline. The emissions control sys-

tem for this engine is EM (Engine Modications).

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and

explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or

death.

When Adding Fuel

• Turn engine o and let engine cool at least 3 minutes

before removing the fuel cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

• Do not overll fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the

fuel, do not ll above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights,

heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and ttings frequently for

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.
