To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the
left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled
back, the quicker the mower will turn left.
To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the
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-
4.6 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER
BLADES)
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 for cutter deck
raising instructions)
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
2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow
switch, located on the instrument panel, (Figure 4-3)
to the engage position.
CAUTION:
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.
PULL UP TO ENGAGE
PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE
STT99CES
Figure 4-3 Cutter Engage Switch
-NOTE-
To travel in reverse, pull both handles back. Keep the
travel speed low while traveling in reverse.
A squealing noise may be heard when engaging
or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by
the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower
comes up to speed.
-NOTE-
The mower may not travel straight in reverse.
Slight adjustments may need to be made using
the steering controls.
3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to
the disengage position.

Section 4
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.
4.9 AFTER OPERATION
1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use
high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical
components.
4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION
-IMPORTANT-
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:
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.
2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat
damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.
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.
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool
before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.
2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at
reduced speed.
4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank
with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of
operation.
3. Keep tires properly inflated.
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if
necessary.
4.8 PARKINGTHE MOWER
1. Place the steering control levers in the neutral
position.
2. Disengage the cutter blades
3. Slow the engine to idle speed.
4. Engage the parking brake.
5. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove
the key.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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, Page 11). Disengage the
parking brake and move the mower by hand. The dump
valves must be returned to the DRIVE position and
torqued to 10ft/lbs to drive the mower.
4.12 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING
1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear
grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance, and require
extra 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.
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT DISCHARGE CHUTE, MULCHING
KIT, OR ENTIRE GRASS CATCHER INSTALLED

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 1/4" down toward
the front 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 1/4" lower than 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 1/4"
lower, 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

nuts on the control rod.
B. 3-1/2" Position (factory setting) - baffle is installed
using the bottom set of holes on the Custom Cut
Baffle. (See Figure 6.10). For general purpose
cutting, place the Custom Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2"
position. This gives the best mix of cutting
performance in all types of grass.
C. 4" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of
holes on the Custom Cut Baffle. (See Figure 6.11).
Placing the baffle in the 4" setting will enhance fall

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 3-1/4" 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 3-1/4" 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.

7.6 ENGINE AIR CLEANER
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool
before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.
A. Cleaning and/or Replacing Air Cleaner
Element
For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates
the air cleaner service periods. To make it convenient
for you we have installed an "Air Cleaner Indicator"
which is located just behind the air filter. The indicator
window will turn red when it is time to service the air
filter. Do not service the filter unless this indicator is red.
-NOTE-
In extremely dusty conditions it may be
necessary to check the indicator daily to
prevent engine damage.

explosive gases.To avoid personal injury
when checking, testing or charging
batteries, DO NOT use smoking materials
near batteries. Keep arcs, sparks and flames
away from batteries. Provide proper
ventilation and wear safety glasses.
Electric storage battery fluid contains
sulfuric acid which is POISON and can
cause SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS. Avoid
contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing.
Use proper protective gear when handling
batteries. DO NOT tip any battery beyond
45° angle in any direction. If fluid contact
does occur, follow first aid suggestions
below.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FIRST AID
WARNING:
EXTERNAL CONTACT — Flush with water.
Batteryposts,terminals,andrelatedaccessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after han-
dling.
EYES — Flush with water for at least 15
minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
INTERNAL — Drink large quantities of water.
Follow with Milk Of Magnesia, beaten egg, or
vegetable oil. Get medical attention
immediately. In case of internal contact, DO
NOT give fluids that would induce vomiting.
1. Loosen the two plastic wing nuts and then remove the

2. Remove the battery cell caps. Visually inspect
electrolyte level in the cells. If electrolyte is
below the bottom of vent well, fill with clean distilled
water to the bottom of vent wells (1/4 to 1/2 inch
above the plates). Install the battery cell caps.
B. Charging the Battery
Refer to the battery charger’s manual for specific
instructions.
-IMPORTANT-
Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will over-
flow through the vent tube onto parts of the
machine, resulting in severe corrosion.
Under normal conditions the engine’s alternator will have
no problem keeping a charge on the battery. If the
battery has been completely discharged for a long period
of time, the alternator may not be able to recharge the
battery, and a battery charger will be required.
3. Clean the cable ends and battery posts with steel wool.
Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean the
battery. Do not allow the solution to enter the battery
cells.
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and
cause injury. Let the battery warm before attaching a
charger.
4. Tighten the cable connections securely and apply a
light coat of silicone dielectric grease to the terminal
connections to prevent corrosion.

WARNING:
WARNING:
Always wear proper hand and eye protection
BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE
GASES. Charge the battery in a well
ventilated space so gases produced while
charging can dissipate.
when working with cutter blades.
3. Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the
cutter blades appear bent, they will need to be
replaced.
Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are
satisfactory if excessive gassing or spewing of
electrolyte does not occur or the battery does not feel
excessively hot (over 125°F). If spewing or gassing
occurs or the temperature exceeds 125°F, the charging
rate must be reduced or temporarily stopped to permit
cooling.
WARNING:
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.
4. If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be
sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See
"Blade Replacement."
C. Jump Starting
1. The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a
vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a
negative ground system.
-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.
2. When connecting the jumper cables, connect the
positive cable to the positive battery post, then
connect the negative cable to the negative battery
post.
7.8 DRIVE BELTS
B. Blade Sharpening
-NOTE-
All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning,
however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation,

limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them
