SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
GENERAL SERVICE
•
Never operate machine in a closed area.
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition.
•
•
•
•
•
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
•
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Cleanoilorfuelspillageandremoveanyfuel-
soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Nevermakeanyadjustmentsorrepairswiththeengine
running.
Check grass catcher components and the discharge
chute frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec-
ommended parts, when necessary.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
•
•
•
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Useextracarewhenapproachingblindcorners,shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a
child.
•
•
•
•
•
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as required.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
IV. TOWING
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
•
•
•
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
•
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-
ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Never carry passengers.
•
•
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while back-
ing.
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
V. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
careinhandlinggasoline. Gasolineisextremelyflammable
and the vapors are explosive.
•
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
Use only approved gasoline container.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Never fuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or other appliances.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keepthenozzleincontactwiththerimofthefueltankor
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-
ately.
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
•

If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,
shift into reverse and back down slowly.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

OPERATION
TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)
Gaugewheels areproperlyadjustedwhentheyareslightly
off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height
in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck
in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain
conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level
surface.
•
Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See “TO AD-
JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT” in this section of
manual).
K
•
With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off
the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole.
Tighten securely.
L
•
Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjust-
ment hole.
Fig. 7
SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The cruise control should only be used while mowing or
transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other
conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the
cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control
on slopes, rough terrian or while trimmimg or turning.
•
With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed,
pull cruise control lever (J) up and hold while lifting
your foot off the pedal, then release the lever.
To disengage the cruise control, depress the brake pedal
or tap on forward drive pedal.
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 8)
The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the
cutting height.
Fig. 9
TO OPERATE MOWER
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing
switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with
the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will
shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally
positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitat-
ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,
rolling terrain or hills.
A
1. Select desired height of cut with attachment lift lever.
2. Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch
control.
Fig. 8
TO STOP MOWER BLADES -
Disengage attachment clutch control.
•
Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.
The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights are approximate
and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of
grass and types of grass being mowed.
CAUTION: Do not operate the mower
without either the entire grass catcher,
onmowerssoequipped,orthedeflector
shield (S) in place. (See Fig. 10)
•
The average lawn should be cut to approximately
2-1/2 " during the cool season and to over 3"during hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow
often and after moderate growth.
•
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height
should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively
high; the second to desired height.

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed
and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying
hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.

•
•
Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.
Move throttle control to choke position.
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
procedures below.
•
Insertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto“START”
position and release key as soon as engine starts.
Do not run starter continuously for more than fifteen
seconds per minute. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, move throttle control to fast position,
wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does
not start, move the throttle control back to the choke
position and retry.
ADD GASOLINE
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use
fresh,clean,regularunleadedgasolinewithaminimum
of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase
carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).
Donotmixoilwithgasoline. Purchasefuelinquantities

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C and above)
•
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the
fast position.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
•
The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If
the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine
and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke
as described above.
IMPORTANT: WHENOPERATINGINTEMPERATURESBELOW
32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE
TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C and below)
•
When engine starts, allow engine to run with the
throttle control in the choke position until the engine
runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast posi-
tion. This may require an engine warm-up period from
several seconds to several minutes, depending on the
temperature.
CAUTION: Alcoholblendedfuels(calledgasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture 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 run
untilthefuellinesandcarburetorareempty. Use
freshfuelnextseason. SeeStorageInstructions
for additional information. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

•
Thelefthandsideofmowershouldbeusedfortrimming.
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of
the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution
of clippings and more uniform cutting.
•
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right
so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig. 12).
1. Place tractor safely on a level surface - that is clear
and open - with engine off and parking brake set.
2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control
in disengaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this
section of manual).
3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-
gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.
Disengage parking brake
CAUTION: Atanytime,duringstep4,there
may be movement of the drive wheels.
4. Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,
hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress
reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five
(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure
three (3) times.
Fig. 12
5. Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-
pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.
6. Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this sec-
tion of manual).
7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.
Disengage parking brake.
8. Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure
three times.
•
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
dry before mowing.
Always operate engine at full throttle when mow-
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper
discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance as well as the quality of cut desired.
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used.

TRACTOR
•
•
•
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When
mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor-
oughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
Use fresh fuel next season.
•
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual).
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-
placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-
mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
•
•
•
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this
manual).
•
BATTERY
CYLINDER(S)
•
•
Fully charge the battery for storage.
•
•
Remove spark plug(s).
After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging.
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into
cylinder(s).
•
To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during
long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis-
connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual).
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals.
•
•
Turn ignition key to “START” position for a few seconds
to distribute oil.
Replace with new spark plug(s).
OTHER
•
•
•
•
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt.
Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and
will cause your tractor to rust.
If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained
and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower
values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambi-
ent operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are
placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop
the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or net power). This difference is
due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor,
fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-
engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher
rated power for this Series engine.
