FOREWORD The Hydrostatic Zero-Turn Riding Mower provides superb maneuverability and mid-mount cutting. The machine incorporates many safety features that should be studied by all operators before use. The list of safety precautions should receive particular attention. This manual presents all of the operating and maintenance instructions necessary to keep your mower at peak efficiency. If operated and maintained properly, your mower will give dependable service.
WARNING • • • The engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. • Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. • Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope. • Follow the manufacture’s recommendations for counterweights with attachments to improve stability. • Use extra care with grass catchers (material collection systems) or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine.
. 7. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child or other hazard. Remove the key when the machine is left unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. 10. D. SERVICE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

and is contained within the positive and negative terminals as well as within the battery’s internal gridwork of plates and active materials. 2. A. Explosive gases are generated when batteries are re-charged, so sparks, flames and heat sources should be avoided. Loose connections at the battery terminals can produce sparks and heat...connections to the terminals must be kept tight, and the terminals and battery surfaces kept clean of acids and corrosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure. 1 Figure. 2 parking brake Hour Meter Electric Blade Clutch Switch Ignition Switch Choke E. General Engine throttle maintain the uphill side lap bar “essentially” in a fixed position. k. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways. Always turn off the blade clutch switch and wait until the blades stop rotating and raise the cutting deck to the transport position. Always allow other vehicles to have the right of way. l.
next and each subsequent time that the area is mowed. 2. Safety Awareness when Mowing a. Do not operate on steep slopes, those above 15 degrees (27% slope). b. Avoid turning downhill if possible, use extra care and go slowly. c. Avoid turning when going downhill, traction is at a minimum going downhill. d. Do not operate with discharge side of the mower toward streets, buildings, playgrounds, parking lots, other machines, animals, and other people. e.
Steering Levers Figure. 4 Figure. 3 Fuel Shutoff Valve 8. Seat Position Adjustment Lever: The Seat Position Adjustment Lever is located beneath the seat. The Seat Position Adjustment Lever is used to move the seat forward and backward. To place the seat in the desired position pull the seat adjustment lever to the left then push the seat forward or back to the desired position. Release the lever so the seat will lock in place. 9.
G. Initial Adjustments 1. Check the fluid levels and tires: Note: These checks should be made daily, before starting the engine. b. a. Fuel: Using a good grade of unleaded, regular gasoline, fill the fuel tank (beside the engine on the left side of the mower). When the fuel reaches one inch from the top of the tank, stop. DO NOT OVERFILL. Space must be left for expansion. b. Engine Oil: (Filled at the factory before shipment.) Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it off and reinsert it.
5. Lubricate all fittings listed in the maintenance section. 1. Make sure the park brake is set to the “ON” position, both lap bars are in the neutral/ start position, and the Power Take Off (PTO also referred to as blade control switch) is in the “off” (down) position. 2. Move the choke and the engine speed control (throttle) forward to the end of the slot. 3.
bar forward more than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is in the neutral position and the other is advanced, the turn side tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed — turf defacement could occur (if on grass) as well as potential damages to the traction surface and the tire.
h. Gasoline Engine: Once the engine starts, move the choke/throttle to the detent as the engine warms. b. c. 4. Operating the Mower: Operating a zero-turning-radius mower is not like operating a tractor-type riding mower. The zero-turning-radius mower is much more maneuverable and much less fatiguing to operate. However, getting used to the fingertip control of the zeroturning-radius mower takes some practice.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE m. Clean up the grass clippings and other materials washed from underneath the mower deck, and dispose of them properly.
