6. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) cannot read English  
or Spanish, it is the owner's responsibility to explain  
this material to them.  
13. Keep flammable objects (cigarettes, matches, etc.),  
open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and  
fuel container.  
7. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing. Loose  
clothing, jewelry or long hair could get tangled in  
moving parts. Do not operate the machine wearing  
shorts; always wear adequate protective clothing  
including long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety  
shoes and a helmet is advisable and is required by  
some local ordinances and insurance regulations.  
14. Equipment must comply with the latest requirements  
per SAE J137 and/or ANSI/ASAE S279 when  
driven on public roads.  
-NOTE-  
If the mower is driven on public roads, it must  
comply with state and local ordinances as well as  
SAE J137 and/or ANSI / ASAE S279  
requirements. Contact your local authorities for

control. Be especially cautious when changing  
directions on slopes.  
10. Be sure the interlock switches are functioning  
correctly.  
WARNING:  
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope,  
attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If  
the machine can back up the slope without the  
wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme  
caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED  
OPERATION.  
11. Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel  
tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or  
spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage  
before starting the engine.

or when not in use.  
4. When using any attachment, never direct the discharge  
of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near  
the machine while in operation.  
15. The machine and attachments should be stopped and  
inspected for damage after striking a foreign object,  
and damage should be repaired before restarting and  
operating the machine.  
5. Before attempting to start the engine, with the operator  
in the seat, disengage power to the cutter deck, place  
the steering control levers in the neutral position and  
engage the parking brake.  
CAUTION:  
DO NOT touch the engine or the muffler while  
the engine is running or immediately after  
stopping. These areas may be hot enough to  
cause a burn.  
6. If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the engine,  
remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to  
stop before removing the obstruction.  
WARNING:  
WARNING:  
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a  
confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust  
fumes are hazardous and could cause death.  
DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged  
discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to  
remove clogged material.  
16. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and  
moving parts. Contact can injure.  
7. Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden hazards  
in the terrain. Keep away from any dropoff. Beware  
of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.), underground  
obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Cautiously  
enter a new area. Be alert for hidden hazards.  
17. Use care when loading or unloading the machine onto  
a trailer or truck.  
8. Disengage power to cutter deck before backing up.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary  
and then only after observation of the entire area behind  
the mower.

Section 2  
This mower has been designed for good traction and  
stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution  
must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when  
the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass  
reduces traction and steering control.  
INSPECT BUCKLE  
& LATCH  
INSPECT WEBBING  
Any or all parts of the Roll Over Protection System MUST  
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could  
result in injury or death.  
Figure 2-1 Seat Belt Inspection  
The potential exposure of this seat belt to severe  
enviromental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat  
belt system regularly.  
WARNING:  
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes,  
slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.  
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a  
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that  
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant  
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion  
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch  
plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be  
replaced immediately.  
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To  
check a slope, attemp to back up it (with the cutter  
deck down). If the machine can not back up the  
slope without the wheels slipping, do not operate  
the machine on this slope.  
ALWAYS travel up or down the slope whenever  
possible. Never across the slope.  
WARNING:  
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the  
seat belt can cause serious injury or loss of  
life.  
DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or  
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll  
over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge  
caves in.  
1. Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for cuts,  
wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.  
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,  
starts or stops on a slope.  
2. Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to ultra  
violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the  
original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely  
faded and/or is packed with dirt, the physical strength  
of this webbing may have deteriorated. If this condition  
exists, replace the seat belt system.  
NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed  
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of  
control.  
DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate  
the machine.  
3. Check the buckle and latch for proper operation and  
determine if the latch plate is exessively worn,  
deformed, or of the buckle is damaged or cracked.  
See Figure 2-1.

Section 2  
7. Park the machine on level ground and engage the  
parking brake.  
8. NEVER allow untrained personnel to service the  
machine.  
9. Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blade(s)  
or wear gloves and use caution when servicing  
blades. Only replace blades. NEVER straighten or  
weld blades.  
10. Keep all parts in good working condition. Replace all  
worn or damaged decals.  
Figure 2-2. STT-BSD With Roll Over  
Protection System.  
11. Use jack stands to support components when  
required.  
2.6 MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS &  
STORAGE  
12. Carefully release pressure from components with  
stored energy.  
1. Never make adjustments to the machine with the  
engine running unless specifically instructed to do so.  
If the engine is running, keep hands, feet, and  
clothing away from moving parts.  
WARNING:  
Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure. Keep  
body and hands away from pinholes or nozzles  
that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.  
If you need service on your hydraulic system,  
please see your authorized Scag dealer. If  
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must  
be surgically removed within a few hours by a  
doctor or gangrene may result.  
2. Disengage drives, lower implement, set parking  
brake, stop engine and remove key or disconnect  
spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting of the  
engine when servicing or adjusting the machine.  
Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting,  
cleaning or repairing.  
13. Let the engine cool before storing.  
3. Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before  
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative  
terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect the  
positive first and the negative last.  
14. DO NOT store the machine near an open flame.  
15. Shut off fuel while storing or transporting.  
16. DO NOT store fuel near flames or drain indoors.  
4. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight, to ensure the  
machine is in safe working condition. Check blade  
mounting bolts frequently to be sure they are tight.  
17. Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area,  
away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before  
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear  
protective clothing and use insulated tools.  
5. Do not change the engine governor settings or  
overspeed the engine. See the engine operator's  
manual for information on engine settings.  
6. To reduce fire hazard, keep the cutting units, drives  
muffler and engine free of grass, leaves, excessive  
grease, oil and dirt.

speed.  
4.3 INITIAL RUN-IN PROCEDURES (First  
Day of Use or Approximately 10 Hours)  
7. Turn the ignition key to the on position until the  
yellow indicator for the glow plugs goes out. Then  
turn the ignition key to the START position and  
release the key as soon as the engine starts. Do not  
hold the key in the START position for more than 15  
seconds at a time. Allow at least 60 seconds  
between each cranking attempt to prevent  
overheating of the starter motor. Prolonged cranking  
can damage the starter motor and shorten battery  
life.  
1. Check all belts for proper alignment and wear at 2, 4  
and 8 hours.  
2. Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 5  
hours of operation. (See Section 7.4.)  
3. Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir. (See Section  
7.3.)  
4. Check for loose hardware. Tighten as needed.  
8. Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.  
4.5 GROUND TRAVEL AND STEERING  
-IMPORTANT-  
5. Check interlock system for proper operation. (See  
Section 4.2.)  
6. Check tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.  
(See Section 7.10)  
If you are not familiar with the operation of a  
machine with lever steering and/or hydrostatic  
transmissions, the steering and ground speed  
operations should be learned and practiced in  
an open area, away from buildings, fences, or  
obstructions. Practice until you are comfortable  
with the handling of the machine before  
4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE  
CAUTION:  
DO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting  
fluids in the air intake system may be potentially  
explosive or cause a “runaway” engine condition  
that could result in engine damage and/or personal  
injury.  
attempting to mow. Learn the operation on flat  
ground before operating on slopes.  
-IMPORTANT-  
Start practicing with a slow engine speed and  
slow forward travel.  
1. Before initial start or after running out of fuel, you  
must prime the fuel pump located on the right side of  
the engine. Pump the primer pump until it can no  
longer be depressed.  
Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain  
a smooth operating action.  
Practice operating the mower until you are  
comfortable with the controls before proceeding  
to mow.  
2. Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located behind the  
operator's seat, is completely open. (See Section 7.5  
Page 30)

mower will turn left.  
To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the  
right steering control lever back. The further the lever is  
pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn right.  
To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right  
steering control lever to move forward. The further the  
control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the  
mower will turn right.  
-NOTE-  
Smooth operation of the steering levers will  
produce smooth mower operation. While  
learning the operation of the steering controls,  
keep the travel speed low.  
To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control  
levers to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to  
be parked, engage the parking brake.  
-IMPORTANT-  
Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower  
will hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and  
travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree  
angle. (see section 4.13 on Page 16 for cutter  
deck raising instructions)  
4.6 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER  
BLADES)  
1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to  
engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens  
the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine  
speed when engaging the deck drive.  
Reverse Travel  
CAUTION:  
2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow  
switch, located on the instrument panel, (Figure 4-3)  
to the engage position.  
Disengage power to the mower before backing up.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary  
and then only after observation of the entire area  
behind the mower.  
CAUTION:  
Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and  
obstructions. Clear the area before backing up.  
Possible injury or property damage could occur.

3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to  
the disengage position.  
3. Keep tires properly inflated.  
4.8 PARKING THE MOWER  
4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly  
maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug  
down, reduce the forward speed and allow the  
engine to operate at maximum RPM.  
1. Stop on level ground and place the steering control  
levers in the neutral position.  
5. To properly burnish the electric PTO clutch brake,  
follow the following steps.  
2. Disengage the cutter blades  
3. Slow the engine to idle speed.  
4. Engage the parking brake.  
A. Start and run the engine at approximately 3/4  
throttle.  
B. Engage and disengage the PTO  
approximately 25 times, waiting for 10  
seconds between each on/off cycle.  
5. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove  
the key.  
-NOTE-  
4.9 AFTER OPERATION  
Burnishing the electric clutch improves  
longevity and performance and should be done  
on every new machine and after a clutch  
replacement. The burnishing procedure should  
not be performed while cutting grass.  
1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use  
high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical  
components.  
-IMPORTANT-  
4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION  
Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold  
water will damage the engine. Use compressed  
air to clean the engine if it is hot.  
WARNING:  
2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat  
damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.  
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope,  
attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down).  
If the machine can back up the slope without the  
wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme  
caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED  
OPERATION.  
3. Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any  
signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.  
1. The mower has been designed for good traction and  
stability under normal mowing conditions. However,  
caution must be used when traveling on slopes,  
especially when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces  
traction and steering control. The Roll Over  
Protection System is standard equipment for this  
machine. See section 2.5, page 6 of this manual for  
further details.  
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool  
before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.  
4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank  
with fresh, clean fuel with a minimum cetane rating  
of 40 at the end of every day of operation.  
2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop  
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at  
reduced speed.  
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if  
necessary.

Section 4  
3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut  
grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass  
for best appearance). Mow frequently.  
4.10 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL  
4. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.  
ROTATING BLADES  
NEVER PUTYOUR HANDS INTOTHE DISCHARGE  
CHUTE FOR ANY REASON! Shut off the engine  
and remove the key and only then use a stick or  
similar object to remove material if clogging has  
occurred.  
5. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice.  
Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first  
pass and then make a second pass to the desired  
height.  
6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.  
1. If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the  
engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or  
similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then  
resume normal mowing.  
7. Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting.  
Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear  
the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at  
full speed.  
4.11 MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE  
STOPPED  
8. Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn  
appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each  
time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the  
grass.  
To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the  
engine running, place the dump valve levers in the FREE-  
WHEEL position (Figure 4-2). Disengage the parking  
brake and move the mower by hand. The dump valve  
levers must be returned to the DRIVE position and  
torqued to 10ft/lbs to drive the mower.  
DUMP VALVE  
CONTROL  
4.12 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING  
1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear  
grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and reduced  
mowing power.  
2. The discharge chute must not be removed and must  
be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass  
clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the  
side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to  
minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close  
to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the  
obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by  
thrown objects.

Tracking Adjustment  
A. Stop the machine and place the steering control  
levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock  
nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the  
RH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod  
to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts.  
This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH  
pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. (See  
Figure 6-3)  
CAUTION:  
Stop the engine and remove the key from the  
ignition before making any adjustments. Wait for  
all moving parts to come to a complete stop  
before beginning work.  
-NOTE-  
If after making the adjustment as outlined in step  
2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the  
neutral adjustment must be made as described on  
page 21.  
CAUTION:  
The engine and drive unit can get hot during  
operation causing burn injuries. Allow engine  
and drive components to cool before making any  
adjustments.  
6.3 THROTTLE CONTROL  
These adjustments must be performed by your Scag  
dealer to ensure proper and efficient running of the  
engine. Should either need adjustment, contact your  
authorized Scag service center.  
-NOTE-  
Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure  
that the caster wheels turn freely and that the tire  
pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire  
pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to  
the side with the lower pressure.  
6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENT  
1. If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an  
indication that the left wheel is turning faster than the  
right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as  
follows:  
WARNING:  
Before removing any guards, shut the  
engine off and remove the ignition key.  
A. Stop the machine and place the steering control  
levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock  
nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the  
LH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod  
to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts.  
This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH  
pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. (See  
Figure 6-4)  
All drive belts and cutter deck belts are spring-loaded  
and self-tensioning. The belts should be checked  
periodically for proper alignment and wear.  
6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT  
Belt alignment is important for proper performance of  
your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear  
or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for  
belt adjustment.  
-NOTE-  
If after making the adjustment as outlined in step  
1A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the  
neutral adjustment must be made as described on  
page 21.  
2. If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication  
that the right wheel is turning faster than the left  
wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

3. Tighten the elastic stop nut to secure the cutter deck  
in the proper position.  
6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS  
Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory.  
However, if these adjustments should ever need to be  
made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the  
proper cutter deck adjustment.  
Cutter Deck Pitch  
The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the  
front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting  
performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure  
that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are  
properly inflated. Use the following procedures,  
however, measure from the top of the cutter deck rather  
than the bottom edge. Lay a straight edged object on the  
top of the Advantage cutter deck, protruding towards the  
front of the machine, when measuring the front height.  
-NOTE-  
Before proceeding with the cutter deck  
adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly  
inflated.  
Cutter Deck Level  
The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for  
proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure  
that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are  
properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most  
common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side  
of the machine, check the distance from the bottom of  
the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance  
from the bottom of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH  
side of the machine. Both measurements should be the  
same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter  
deck level must be adjusted as follows:  
Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the  
floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly  
behind the cutter deck hanging chains. Next check the  
distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at  
the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of  
the cutter deck hanging chains. The measurement at the  
front of the cutter deck should be equal to the  
measurement at the rear of the deck. Make these  
measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If  
the measurement at the front of the deck is not equal to  
the rear, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as  
follows:  
1. On the front LH side of the cutter deck locate the  
cutter deck adjusting bolt. (See Figure 6-5)  
1. Loosen the jam nuts on both adjusting rods.  
(See Figure 6-5)  
JAM NUT  
ADJUST HERE  
2. Using a wrench on the spring compression nut (See  
Figure 6-5) turn the adjusting rods until the 1/4"  
forward pitch is obtained on both the RH and the LH  
side of the cutter deck. Tighten both jam nuts.  
-NOTE-  
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four  
cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on  
them. If all four chains do not have tension on  
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the  
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.  
390S0174-1  
Figure 6-5. Cutter Deck Adjustment  
2. Loosen the elastic stop nut and move the bolt up or  
down in the slot to adjust the cutter deck until the  
distance from the bottom of the cutter deck to the  
floor is the same as the measurement on the RH side  
of the machine.

Cutter Deck Height  
3. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the  
lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height  
index. Release the deck from the transport positon  
and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height  
position.  
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that  
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the  
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck  
height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface  
and the tires are properly inflated.  
4. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter  
blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3", an  
adjustment can be made using the deck height  
control rod. (See Figure 6-6)  
1. Place the cutter deck in the transport position.  
Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height

7.3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM  
B. Changing Hydraulic Oil  
The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500  
hours or annually, whichever occurs first. The oil should  
also be changed if the color of the fluid has become black  
or milky. A black color and/or a rancid odor usually  
indicates possible overheating of the oil, and a milky  
color usually indicates water in the hydraulic oil.  
A. Checking Hydraulic Oil Level  
The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first  
10 hours of operation. Thereafter, check the oil after  
every 200 hours of machine operation or monthly,  
whichever occurs first.  
-IMPORTANT-  
If the oil level is consistently low, check for  
leaks and correct immediately.  
-NOTE-  
The hydraulic oil should be changed if you  
notice the presence of water or a rancid  
odor to the hydraulic oil.  
1. Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the  
reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil  
reservoir.  
1. Park the mower on a level surface and stop the  
engine.  
2. Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic  
oil must be at least 3" inches from top of the filler  
neck. If the level cannot be determined visually, use  
a clean tape measure to check the level. If the fluid  
is low, add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT overfill;  
(overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage  
around the cap area).  
2. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil  
reservoir. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir.  
Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the  
reservoir. (See Figure 7-2). Allow the fluid to drain  
into the container and properly discard it.  
3. Re-install the drain plug into the reservoir and be  
sure it is tight.  
3. Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.  
-NOTE-  
Before refilling the hydraulic oil reservoir the  
hydraulic oil filter should be changed as  
outlined in section C on the next page.  
4. Fill the reservoir to 3" inches from the top of the filler  
neck with 20W50 motor oil.  
5. Replace the reservoir fill cap. Start the engine and  
drive forward and backward for two minutes. Check  
the oil level in the reservoir. If necessary, add oil to  
the reservoir.

replaced.  
C. Blade Replacement  
WARNING:  
WARNING:  
Always wear proper hand and eye protection  
when working with cutter blades.  
Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and  
never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always  
replace it with a new blade to assure safety.  
1. Remove the ignition key before replacing the blades.  
4. If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be  
sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See  
"Blade Replacement."  
2. Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place  
the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height positon to  
prevent the cutter deck from falling.  
-NOTE-  
Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull  
blades not only yields a poor mowing job, but  
slows the cutting speed of the mower and  
causes extra wear on the engine and the  
blade drive by pulling hard.

limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them  
any other obligation. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation  
may not apply to you.

performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time or inconve-  
nience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-  
tion or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.
