ROPS, always wear seatbelt when ROPS
is deployed.
When foldable ROPS must be down (i.e.
loading or unloading on an enclosed
trailer), DO NOT use seatbelt and drive
carefully.
DO NOT move steering levers from
forward to backward or backward to
forward position rapidly. The sudden
direction change may cause loss of
control.

DO NOT stop, start or change directions
suddenly on slopes.
Use extra care and maintain minimum
ground speed when traveling or operating
on a slope, over rough ground, or when
operating close to ditches and fences.
Keep alert for holes, rocks, roots and
other hidden hazards in the terrain. Keep
away
from
drop-offs
and
soft
embankments.
Stop machine and mower deck
immediately while striking an obstruction
or hard object. Turn engine off, inspect
machine and mower deck. Repair any
damage before resuming operation.
Disengage PTO, stop engine, select park
brake, remove key and wait for all
movement to stop before dismounting,
making
adjustments,
cleaning,
or
unclogging the machine.

�
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
machine parked on a hard level surface;
with the engine stopped and the PTO
disengaged; with the park brake set; and
with the key removed from the ignition.
Always remove the grounded (-) clamp
from the battery when performing
maintenance on the engine, clutch, or any
other electrical system.
Always wear tight fitting clothing and
safety equipment when preforming
maintenance . Keep work area clean and
dry.
Never work under the machine without
jack stands or other equivalent safety
blocks. DO NOT depends solely on
mechanical or hydraulic jacks or lifts for
support. Always use adequate wheel
chocks on tires remaining on the ground.
Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical
damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check
hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.
Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid risks by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all connections before applying
pressure. If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard
by placing it under suspected leaks.
Protect hands and body from high pressure
fluids.
If it is necessary to run an engine in an
enclosed area, remove the exhaust gases
from the area with an exhaust pipe
extension. If an exhaust pipe extension is
not available, work near the open doors
and windows.
Waste products such as used oil, fuel,
and batteries can harm the environment
and people. Dispose of waste products
properly.
Never attempt to disconnect or alter any
part of the safety interlock systems.

Storing Safely
Never store the machine with gasoline in
the tank inside a building where fumes
may reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer, or other gas appliance. Allow
engine to cool before storing .
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or
more, add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel
system. A fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
additive in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow mix ratio
found on stabilizer container. Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow it to reach the carburetor.
If draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an
approved container outdoors and away
from open flame.
Always provide adequate ventilation
when running engine indoors. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
an odorless and deadly poison.
Remove all accumulated debris from
mower deck and tractor.
Sand areas where paint is chipped and
repair to prevent rust. Lubricate all
locations to prevent moisture damage
during storage.

is the number indicator located on the
console. The meter is connected to the
ignition circuit and is provided to record
the number of hours the engine runs. If the
ignition switch is left on, without the
engine running, the hour meter
will
continue to record. The meter is also
connected to the battery and is provided to
show the remaining power of the battery.
The Parking Brake Handle is the large
�
black lever located between the fender and
the seat on the left side of the operator.
The brake lever engages parking brakes on
the drive wheels. Pull the brake lever up

Several Safety Switches are incorporated in
this machine’s design to prevent the engine
from being started in certain conditions and
to cease the running engine in certain
conditions. These circuits should be checked
before each operation to ensure they are
working properly. See page 12 for check list
We recommend you practice in a flat open
area at half throttle until you are comfortable
with all the controls.
The two Steering Levers control speed,
motion, and direction of the machine and are
located on each side of the seat. The left
lever controls flow of hydraulic oil from the
left pump to the left drive wheel motor. The
right lever controls flow of hydraulic oil
from the right pump to the right drive wheel
motor. This allows left and right drive wheels
to turn independently, which provides the
“zero turn” ability. Each lever has two
positions: The swung “out” neutral lock
position, where the lever will not activate the
pump; and the swung “in” operation position,
where the lever will activate the pump.
The following controls are located on or
beside the Operator’s Console which is
located to the right side of the seat. Refer to

WARNING
Before starting to machine
machine,, position the
machine in the area to be mowed with
the mower deck set at the desired
cutting height. With the engine at half
throttle, pull up on the PTO switch
knob to start the blades turning.
Accelerate to full throttle to begin
mowing.
DANGER
IMPORTANT
If you become confused during operation,
release both steering levers. They will
automatically return to the centered
neutral position and the machine will stop.
5.7.
Mowing
WARNING
Inspect area before mowing, picking up
all rocks, twigs and other debris. Enter
new areas carefully. Cut grass higher the
first time to allow mower to clear unseen
- 15 -
To avoid serious injury or death from
flying objects or contact with blades,
NEVER
operate
mower
without
discharge shield or restriction plate
installed.
Keep hands and feet away from
discharge opening.
Before mowing, inspect the area to determine
the best mowing procedure. Consider height,
type of grass and terrain type (rolling, level
or rough).
Proper ground speed for mowing will depend
on the height, type and density of grass to be
cut. Normally, ground speed will range from
three to six miles per hour. Tall dense grass
should be mowed at a low speed, while thin
medium height grass can be cut at a faster
ground speed. Always operate engine at full
governed RPM when mowing. This is
necessary to maintain proper blade speed to
produce a clean cut.
Follow local recommendations for the
suitable cutting height in your area. Avoid
mowing grass too short to increase mowing
intervals. This may stress the grass during hot
weather and encourage weed growth during
the growing season.
Mow with uncut grass to the left. This will
distribute the clippings over the cut area.
Discharging clippings over the uncut area
will cause a grass buildup and may prevent
uniform cutting.
Remember that sharp blades produce cleaner
cuts and use less power.
Extremely tall grass should be mowed twice.
Cut grass higher first ,then cut the second
time at desired height and 90° to the first
pass.
5.8.

�
Uneven Terrain
�
Be careful when operating mower on
uneven ground.
DO NOT operate on steep slopes.
Operation on a steep slope could cause loss
of control, machine to overturn and
personal injury or death.
�
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. This
machine was not specifically designed to
operate on steep slopes.
�
The operator is responsible for safe
operation on slopes. Only the operator can
determine the stability of the mower on a
given slope based on existing conditions
like: machine speed and direction, slope
variation, slipperiness, drop-offs, holes,
obstacles, etc.
To determine stability on a slope, start at
�
the bottom and try to back the mower up
the slope slowly. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, DO NOT
operate on it.
Always start mowing at the bottom of
�
slopes. Traveling up slopes, this machine
has more traction traveling forward than
backward. Be careful on slopes to avoid
driving forward into a position where
there is not enough traction to enable
backing out or stopping.
�
Tires may lose traction on slopes even
- 16 -
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
though the brakes are functioning
properly.
Avoid sudden starts and acceleration
when traveling forward uphill as mower
may tip backwards.
DO NOT mow slopes when grass is wet
because slippery conditions will reduce
traction and braking which in turn affects
steering.
Use caution when making turns. Slow the
mower down before making sharp turns.
Unit can spin very rapidly by positioning
one lever too much ahead or behind the
other.
Look around you to be sure the area is
clear before turning or backing up.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If
tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and
gradual. DO NOT make sudden changes
in speed or direction.
Use extra care with grass catchers or
other attachments. These can change the
stability of the machine. DO NOT use
grass catcher on steep slopes.
DO NOT operate without ROPS
deployed.
If machine is equipped with a fixed
ROPS, always wear seatbelt.
Wear seatbelt when mowing
Be certain that the seatbelt can be
released quickly if the machine is driven
or rolls into ponds or water.
Check carefully for overhead clearances
such as, branches, doorways, or electrical
wires, before driving under any objects
and DO NOT contact them or contact
them.

Loading Machine
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or
truck increases the possibility of
backward-tip-over and could cause
serious injury or death.
Use extreme caution when operating a
�
machine on a ramp. Move slowly.
Avoid
sudden
acceleration
and
�
deceleration when operating a machine on

down ramp.
Use only a single, full width ramp; DO
NOT use individual ramps for each side
of the machine.
If individual ramps must be used, BACK
machine up ramp and drive forward down
ramp.
DO NOT exceed a 15 degree angle
between ramp and ground or between
ramp and trailer or truck.
5.12.
Storing Safely
CAUTION
Never store machine with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame, spark or pilot light
as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer, or other gas appliance. Allow
engine to cool before storing in an
enclosure.
CAUTION
Always provide adequate ventilation
when running engine indoors. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly poison.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or
�
more, add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel
system. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
additive in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to fuel in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow mix ratio found
on stabilizer container. Run engine at least
10 minutes after adding stabilizer.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform
maintenance on the tractor or mower only
when the engine is stopped and the
parking brake engaged.
Always remove the ignition key, disconnect
the spark plug wire and fasten it away
from the plug before beginning the
maintenance, to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
While normal care and regular maintenance
will extend the life of your equipment,
prolonged or constant use may eventually
require a service to be performed to allow it
to continue operating properly.
The troubleshooting guide below lists the
most common problems, their causes and
remedies.
See the information on the following pages
for instructions on how to perform most of
these minor adjustments and service repairs
yourself. If you prefer, all of these
procedures can be performed for you by
your local authorized dealer.
