SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These instructions are for your safety. Read them carefully. This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. General Use: Read all instructions in this operator’s manual and on the machine before starting it. Ensure that you understand them and then abide by them. Learn how to use the machine and its controls safely and learn how to stop quickly.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Children: Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on guard for children in the area of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing work. Never assume that children will stay put where you last saw them. Remember: The operator is responsible for avoiding dangers or accidents. Keep children away from the mowing area and under close supervision by another adult. WARNING Shut off the machine if children enter the work area.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Use Continued… Mowing Safety: WARNING – Gasoline is highly flammable. • Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. • Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling. • Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add gasoline while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine and exhaust to completely cool down before filling.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES Operator Presence System: Be sure to check that the operator presence and interlock systems are working properly before each use. If your mower does not function as described, repair the problem immediately. The engine should not start unless the drive pedal is disengaged, the blade lever is disengaged (forward) and the operator is in the seat. – See OPERATION FEATURES section of this manual.
CHARGING TIPS To avoid a battery explosion, never attempt to charge a frozen battery. Warning: Gel and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries require a voltage-limited charger. Charging a Gel or AGM battery on a typical shop charger, even one time, may greatly shorten its life. Important: Never overcharge batteries. Excessive charging will shorten battery life. Prior to charging, read the manufacturer’s instructions for proper charger hook-up and use. Turn off charger prior to hookup to avoid dangerous sparks.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES V-Belts: Check V-belts for deterioration and wear before each use and replace if necessary. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. SEE SPECIFICATION for belt part numbers and SERVICE section of this manual for instructions on how to replace the belt. Engine: REFER TO YOUR ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL. Overall Unit Care: Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves and other debris that may have accumulated on the machine.

Engine Start position NOTE: If you have never used a tractor or zero turn mower before, refer to the Operation Controls section of this manual before attempting to operate one for the first time.
OPERATION Grass Height & Cutting Suggestions: Do not attempt to cut wet grass. The average lawn should be cut to 2 ½” during the cool season and to over 3” during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth. As a rule, never cut more than 1/3 of the total grass blade length. Correct mowing height can reduce weeds and lawn disease. For best performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice.
OPERATION Steering Be familiar with all steering, its function and how to operate the machine before beginning to operate. The drive wheel turns 360° but the steering wheel is a 2:1 ratio to the drive wheel. This means for every two turns of the steering wheel the drive wheel will turn one complete revolution (360°). IMPORTANT: Always be aware of which direction the drive wheel is facing before engaging the drive pedal.

SWISHER HISTORY Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn mowers from his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while his invention did all the work.
