discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to  
remove clogged material.  
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.  
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.  
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent  
accidental starting of the engine when servicing or  
adjusting the machine.  
3. 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.  
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.  
4. Do not change the engine governor settings or  
overspeed the engine. See the engine operator's  
manual for information on engine settings.  
9. DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.  
5. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass,  
leaves, excessive grease, oil and dirt.  
10. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing  
roads, walks or gravel drives.  
6. 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.  
11. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
12. Take all possible precautions when leaving the  
machine unattended, such as disengaging the mower,  
lowering the attachments, setting the parking brake,  
stopping the engine, and removing the key.

4.5 GROUND TRAVEL AND STEERING  
-IMPORTANT-  
3. Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir. (See Section  
7.3.)  
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

attempting to mow. Learn the operation on flat  
ground before operating on slopes.  
6. Check tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.  
(See Section 7.10)  
-IMPORTANT-  
Start practicing with a slow engine speed and  
slow forward travel.  
4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE  
Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain  
a smooth operating action.  
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.  
Practice operating the mower until you are  
comfortable with the controls before proceeding  
to mow.  
Forward Travel  
To travel forward with the mower, disengage the parking  
brake and slowly push the steering control levers forward  
an equal distance. The further the steering control levers  
are pushed forward the greater the forward speed will be.  
To increase the speed, push the steering control levers  
further forward and to decrease the speed, pull the  
steering control levers back.  
1. Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located behind the  
operator's seat, is completely open. (See section 7.5.)  
2. Sit in the operator’s seat and place the steering  
control levers in the neutral position.  
3. Engage the parking brake.  
To stop the forward travel, pull the steering control levers  
back to the neutral position.  
4. If the engine is cold, choke the engine as needed.  
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.  
5. Move the engine throttle control to about half engine  
speed.  
6. 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.  
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.  
7. Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.

Section 4  
-NOTE-  
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.  
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 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  
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  
To travel in reverse, pull both handles back. Keep the  
travel speed low while traveling in reverse.  
-NOTE-  
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 will not travel straight in reverse.  
Slight adjustments must be made using the  
steering controls.  
3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the  
disengage position.  
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.  
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.

-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.  
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 at the end of every day of  
operation.  
2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or  
stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at  
reduced speed.  
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.  
3. Keep tires properly inflated.  
4.8 PARKING THE 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.  
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.  
12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Section 4  
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.  
4.10 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL  
ROTATING BLADES  
6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.  
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
4.11 MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE  
STOPPED  
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 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.  
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. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

3. Tighten the serrated hex 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.  
-NOTE-  
Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments,  
be sure that all tires are properly inflated.  
Cutter Deck Level  
Check the distance from the bottom 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 bottom 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  
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:  
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. Loosen the jam nuts on both adjusting rods.  
(See Figure 6.5)  
1. On the front LH side of the cutter deck locate the  
cutter deck adjusting bolt. (See Figure 6.5)  
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-  
JAM NUT  
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.

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

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.

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.  
C. Jump Starting  
4. If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be  
sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See  
"Blade Replacement."

LIMITED WARRANTY-COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT  
Any part of the Scag commercial mower manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judg-  
ment of Scag, to be defective in materials or workmanship, will be repaired or replaced by an Authorized Scag Service  
Dealer without charge for parts and labor. This warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is not transferable.  
Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claims. All warranty work must be  
performed by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer.  
This warranty is limited to the following specified periods from the date of the original retail purchase for defects in  
materials or workmanship:  
* Wear items including drive belts, blades, hoses and tires are warranted for 90 days.  
* Batteries are covered for 90 days.  
* Frame, deck, and structural components including oil reservoir, fittings, and oil cooler  
are warranted for 1 year.  
* Engines and electric starters are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty period.  
* Drive system components are warranted for 1 year by the component manufacturer, in  
conjunction with Scag Power Equipment. (Excluding fittings, hoses, cooling system,  
oil reservoir, drive belts).  
* Electric clutches have a Limited Warranty for 2 year (Parts and labor 1st year; Parts only  
2nd year).  
* Cutter Spindle Assemblies 46631 have a Limited Warranty for three years (Parts and  
labor 1st year; Parts only 2nd and 3rd year).  
Any Scag product used for rental purposes is covered by a 90 day warranty.  
The Scag mower, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer within the  
warranty period. The expense of delivering the mower to the dealer for warranty work and the expense of returning it  
to the owner after repair will be paid for by the owner. Scag’s responsibility is limited to making the required repairs  
and no claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any Scag  
mower.  
This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has  
been operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as specified in the Operator’s Manual. The warranty  
does not apply to any damage to the mower that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that  
have not been assembled or installed as specified in the Operator’s Manual and Assembly Manual. The warranty does  
not cover any mower that has been altered or modified, changing performance or durability. In addition, the warranty  
does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable  
judgment of Scag, are either incompatible with the Scag mower or adversely affect its operation, performance or  
durability.  
Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without assuming any obliga-  
tion to modify any mower previously manufactured.  
All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the one (1) year warranty period or ninety (90) days for mowers  
used for rental purpose. Accordingly, any such implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular  
purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration of the appropriate one year or ninety day  
warranty period. Scag’s obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively 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.  
Scag assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages including, but not limited to, expense for  
gasoline, expense of delivering the mower to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the  
owner, mechanic’s travel time, telephone or telegram charges, rental of a like product during the time warranty repairs  
are being performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time  
or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the  
above limitation 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.
