2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS  
1. Know the function of all controls and how to stop  
quickly.  
WARNING  
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. Under no circumstances should the  
machine be operated on slopes greater than 15  
degrees. See Figure 2-4, Page 7 to determine  
approximate slope of area to be mowed. ALWAYS  
FOLLOW OSHA APPROvED OPERATION.  
This machine is equipped with an interlock system  
intended to protect the operator and others from  
injury. This is accomplished by preventing the  
engine from starting unless the deck drive is  
disengaged, the parking brake is on, the steering  
control levers are in the neutral position and the  
operator is in the seat. The system shuts off the  
engine if the operator leaves the seat with the deck  
drive engaged and/or the steering control levers  
are not in the neutral position and the parking  
brake is not engaged. Never operate equipment  
with the interlock system disconnected or  
malfunctioning.  
2. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on  
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss  
of control. Be especially cautious when changing  
directions on slopes.

ditches and retaining walls.  
15. Disengage power to the attachments when  
transporting or when not in use.  
4. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop  
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at  
reduced speed.  
16. 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. When using any attachment, never direct the  
discharge of material toward bystanders or allow  
anyone near the machine while in operation.  
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. 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.  
7. 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  
DANGER  
DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged  
discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to  
remove clogged material after the engine has  
stopped running and the blades have stopped  
turning.

a confined area without proper ventilation.  
Exhaust fumes are hazardous and contain  
carbon monoxide which can cause brain injury  
and death.  
8. Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden  
hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any drop-  
offs. 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. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and  
moving parts. Contact can injure.  
18. Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer  
or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the  
necessary lighting and markings as required by  
laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a  
safety chain.  
9. 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. If you must mow in reverse,  
maintain a constant lookout to the rear of the  
machine and mow slowly.  
19. Be cautious when loading and unloading onto  
trailers or trucks. Use only a full width ramp. Ramp  
angle should be no more than 15 degrees. Back up  
the ramp and drive down forward.  
20. When transporting the mower, make sure the park  
brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in  
the neutral position, the engine is off with the key  
removed, and the wheels have been blocked.  
10. DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.  
11. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing  
roads, walks or gravel drives.  
12. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
21. Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains,  
cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be  
directed down and outward from machine.  
13. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.  
14. 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.  
22. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,  
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Section 2  
The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe  
environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the  
seat belt system regularly.  
20o  
15o  
10o  
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.

WARNING  
WARNING  
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat  
belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.  
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes,  
slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to  
stop.  
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation.  
To check a slope, attempt 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. Under no  
circumstances should the machine be operated  
on slopes greater than 15 degrees. See Figure 2-4  
to determine approximate slope.  
1. Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for  
cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-3.  
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.  
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.  
3. Check the buckle and latch for proper operation  
and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn,  
deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked.  
See Figure 2-3.  
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,  
starts or stops on a slope.  
INSPECT BUCkLE  
& LATCH  
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.  
INSPECT WEBBING  
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto  
trailers or trucks.

4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE  
Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow  
forward travel.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting  
fluids in the air intake system may be potentially  
explosive or cause arunawayengine condition  
that could result in engine damage and/or  
personal injury.  
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.  
FORWARD TRAvEL  
1. Make sure the fuel valve is completely open on the  
LP tank.  
To travel forward with the mower, disengage the parking  
brake, pull levers inward out of the neutral lock position  
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.  
2. Secure the ROPS in the upright and locked position.  
3. Sit in the operator’s seat, fasten seat belt and place  
the steering control levers in the neutral position.  
4. Engage the parking brake.  
5. Place the PTO switch in the disengaged position.  
6. If the engine is cold, choke the engine as needed.  
To stop the forward travel, pull the steering control levers  
back to the neutral position.  
7. Move the engine throttle control to about half engine  
speed.  
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.  
8. 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.  
- NOTe -  
9. Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.  
Smooth operation of the steering levers will  
produce smooth mower operation. While learning  
the operation of the steering controls, keep the  
travel speed low.  
4.5 GROUND TRAvEL AND STEERING  
- IMPORTANT -  
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.  
- 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 4.1, items 12 - 14, on page 13 for  
cutter deck raising descriptions.)

- NOTe -  
To travel in reverse, pull levers inward out of the neutral  
lock position and 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. This is normal.  
The mower may not travel straight in reverse.  
Slight adjustments may need to be made using  
the steering controls.  
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.  
3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to  
the disengage position.  
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.  
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.  
To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control levers  
to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be  
parked, place the handles in the neutral lock position and  
engage the parking brake.

4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION  
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.  
WARNING  
- IMPORTANT -  
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. Under no circumstances should the  
machine be operated on slopes greater than 15  
degrees. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROvED  
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.  
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. 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. 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.  
DANGER  
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to  
cool before removing the LP tank.  
2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or  
stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel  
at reduced speed. If tires loose traction, disengage  
blades and proceed slowly off the slope.  
4. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper liquid  
propane requirements.  
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if  
necessary.  
3. Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs,  
ditches and retaining walls.  
4.10 REMOvING CLOGGED MATERIAL  
4. Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Sudden  
starts may cause the machine to tip backwards.  
5. Loss of traction may occur when traveling down hill.  
Weight transfers to the front of the machine and  
may cause the drive wheels to slip causing loss of  
braking or steering.  
DANGER  
ROTATING BLADES  
6. Keep tires properly inflated.  
NEvER PUTYOUR HANDS INTOTHE DISCHARGE  
CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!  
4.8 PARkING THE MOWER  
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface only. Do not  
park the machine on an incline.  
Shut off the engine and remove the key and  
only then use a stick or similar object to remove  
material if clogging has occurred.  
2. Place the steering control levers in the neutral  
position.  
3. Disengage the cutter blades.  
4. Slow the engine to idle speed.  
5. Engage the parking brake.  
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

4.11 MOvING MOWER WITH ENGINE  
STOPPED  
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.  
To free-wheel” or move the mower around without the  
engine running, rotate the dump valve levers counter-  
clockwise. See Figure 4-4. Disengage the parking brake  
and move the mower by hand. When the machine is in the  
desired position, engage the parking brake and rotate the  
levers clockwise until they stop. The dump valve levers  
must be returned to the DRIVE position and torqued to  
10 lb-ft to drive the mower.  
6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.  
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.

6.7 ELECTRIC CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT  
ADJUSTMENT NUTS  
The electric clutch serves two functions in the operation of  
the mower. In addition to starting and stopping the power  
flow to the cutter blades, the clutch also acts as a brake to  
assist in stopping blade rotation when the PTO is switched  
off or the operator presence circuit is interrupted.  
When the clutch is disengaged, the air gap between the  
armature and rotor must be adjusted to fifteen thousandths  
of an inch, 0.015, for proper operation. The airgap  
adjustment is made at three bolts on the clutch.There are  
three inspection windows, one next to each adjusting bolt.  
See Figure 6-10.  
INSPECTION WINDOW (x3)  
ADJUSTMENT NUTS  
Figure 6-12. Clutch Air Gap Adjustment  
Figure 6-10. Clutch Air Gap Adjustment  
This adjustment should be done every 500 hours of  
operation or annually, whichever comes first. In cases  
where the machine is heavily used, airgap settings should  
be checked more often.  
1. Locate the inspection windows on the clutch.  
2. Place a 0.015 feeler gauge in the slot between the  
rotor and the armature. See Figure 6-11.  
If the air gap is too narrow, the clutch armature may drag  
when disengaged, resulting in premature failure.  
INSERT 0.015 FEELER GAUGE HERE  
If the air gap is too wide, the clutch may be slow to engage  
as the magnet must pull the armature in from a greater  
distance.  
Figure 6-11. Clutch Air Gap Adjustment  
3. Tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt as needed to  
acheive the 0.015 inch airgap. See Figure 6-12.  
Perform this operation at all three inspection  
windows.

The hydraulic oil should be changed if you notice  
the presence of water or a rancid odor to 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.  
1. Park the mower on a level surface and stop the  
engine.  
2. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil  
filter. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir and the  
drain plug from the bottom of the drain tee fitting on  
- IMPORTANT -  
the filter base. See Figure 7-3. Allow the fluid to drain  
into the container and properly discard it.  
If the oil level is consistently low, check for leaks  
and correct immediately.  
1. Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the  
reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil  
reservoir.  
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).

Whenever possible, remove the battery from the mower  
before charging and make sure the electrolyte covers the  
plates in all cells.  
WARNING  
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories  
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals  
known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.  
Wash hands after handling.  
WARNING  
BATTERIES PRODUCE ExPLOSIvE GASES.  
Charge the battery in a well ventilated space so  
gases produced while charging can dissipate.  
WARNING  
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.  
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.  
B. 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.  
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FIRST AID  
External Contact — Flush with water.  
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.  
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.  
7.8 DRIvE BELTS  
All drive belts are spring-loaded and self-tensioning,  
however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation,  
the belts should be checked for proper alignment and  
wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of  
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.  
A. CHARGING THE BATTERY  
- NOTe -  
Refer to the battery charger’s manual for specific  
instructions.  
If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage,  
see your authorized Scag service center for belt  
adjustment.  
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.  
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and  
cause injury. Let the battery warm before attaching a  
charger.

working with cutter blades.  
2. Check the balance of the blade. If the blades are out  
of balance, vibration and premature wear can occur.  
See your authorized Scag dealer for blade balancing  
or special tools, if you choose to balance your own  
blades.  
3. Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter  
blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.

- NOTe -  
2. Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place  
the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position  
to prevent the cutter deck from falling.  
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.  
3. Secure the cutter blades to prevent them from  
rotating, (use the optional Blade Buddy tool P/N  
9212, to assist in securing the cutter blades), remove  
the nut from the blade attaching bolt. Remove the  
cutter blade, bolt and spacer from the spindle shaft.  
See Figure 7-7.  
B. BLADE SHARPENING  
- NOTe -  
If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using  
a wheel grinder may burn the blade.  
- NOTe -  
The front of the machine will have to be raised  
slightly to remove the blade bolt from the cutter  
spindle.  
- NOTe -  
DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the  
width of the blade. See Figure 7-6.  
4. To install the new cutter blade, put the flat washer  
onto the blade bolt and slide the bolt into the hole in  
the cutter blade.

LIMITED WARRANTY - COMMERCIAL EqUIPMENT  
Any part of the Scag commercial mower manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judgment 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 during the periods specified below. 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, hydraulic hoses and tires are warranted for ninety (90) days.  
Batteries are covered for ninety (90) days.  
Frame and structural components including oil reservoir and oil coolers are warranted for two (2) years (parts and labor) for  
commercial use or three (3) years / 500 hours (whichever comes first) (parts and labor) for non-commercial use.  
Cutter decks are warranted against cracking for a period of three (3) years. (parts and labor 1st and 2nd year; parts only 3rd  
year.) The repair or replacement of the cutter deck will be at the option of Scag Power Equipment. We reserve the right to request  
components for evaluation. 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.  
Engines and electric starters are covered by the engine manufacturer’s warranty period.  
Major drive system components are warranted for two (2) years (parts and labor) for commercial use or three (3) year / 500 hour  
(whichever comes first) (parts and labor) for non-commercial use by Scag Power Equipment. (commercial and non-commercial  
warranty excludes fittings, hoses, drive belts). The repair or replacement of the hydraulic pump or hydraulic motor will be at the  
option of Scag Power Equipment. 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.  
Electric clutches have a Limited Warranty for two (2) years (parts and labor) for commercial use or three (3) year / 500 hours  
(whichever comes first) (parts and labor) for non-commercial use.  
Spindle assemblies have a Limited Warranty for three years (parts and labor 1st year and 2nd; parts only 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. “Non-Commercial” use is defined as a single property owner,  
where the single property is the residence of the owner of the mower. If the mower is cutting more than the owners single property, it is  
deemed commercial use and the “non-commercial” warranty does not apply. Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to deny and / or  
void the non-commercial warranty if it believes it to be in commercial use.  
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 obligation to  
modify any mower previously manufactured. All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the two (2) year for commercial  
use, three (3) years / 500 hour for non-commercial use or ninety (90) days for mowers used for rental purpose. Accordingly, any such  
implied warranties including merchantability, tness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the  
expiration of the appropriate two 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.
