ability, mid-mount cutting capability for professional landscapers, commercial lawn service

companies, professional turf managers and golf course superintendents. The machine incor-

porates many safety features that should be studied by all operators and maintenance person-

nel before use. The list of safety precautions should receive particular attention.

This manual presents all of the operating and maintenance instructions necessary to keep

your mower at peak efficiency. If operated and maintained properly, your mower will give

dependable service.

CAUTION:

Only thoroughly trained persons should operate and maintain this

mower. This machine can cause serious injury to anyone who mis-

uses it and does not understand its operation. For their personal

safety, all operators and maintenance personnel are required to

read this entire manual before operating the mower.

Hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent

upon the design and configuration of the equipment. Notwithstand-

ing, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern,

prudence and proper training of the personnel involved in the oper-

ation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment.

WARNING

•

The engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unim-

proved forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is

equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it

should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.

•

In the State of California, the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources

Code). Other States may have similar laws. Federal laws apply to federal lands. A spark arrester muffler

may be available.

NOTE: The engine manufacturer is responsible for all engine-related issues with

regards to performance, power-rating, specifications, warranty and service.

ing the mower.

the area to be mowed.

b. When operating this mower, in the forward

direction, do not allow the steering levers

to return to Neutral on their own. Always

maintain a firm grip on the levers, operate

them smoothly and avoid any sudden

movements of the levers when starting and

stopping.

c. If the mower is equipped for side dis-

charge, never use the mower without the

discharge chute installed and placed in the

down position.

d. Always remove debris and other objects

from the area to be mowed (Note: debris

and loose grass will reduce traction).

e. Mow only in daylight.

f. Watch for holes, sprinkler heads, and other

hidden hazards.

g. Avoid driving too close to trees, creeks,

ditches, sand traps, and other obstacles.

h. Before backing up, check behind and

watch where you are going.

i. Always reduce speed when making a turn,

and when grass is wet.

j. Always mow across slopes, never up and

down the slope. Do not operate on steep

slopes and slow down before turning.

Avoid turning downhill if possible, start at

the bottom and work up to the top. Use

extra care and go slowly when turning

downhill. Control the speed and direction

of the zero turn machine “primarily” with

the speed/directional control (lap bar) of

the downhill side of the machine...I.E.,

o. Never attempt to operate the traction unit

without having the mowing deck attached.

p. Keep the mower and especially the engine

and hydraulic components clean and free

of grease, grass, and leaves to reduce the

chance of fire and permit proper cooling.

2. Safety Awareness when Mowing

a. Do not operate on steep slopes, those

above 15 degrees (27% slope).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

b. Avoid turning downhill if possible, if not use

extra care and go slowly.

c. Avoid turning when going downhill, traction

is at a minimum going downhill.

d. Do not operate with discharge side of the

mower toward streets, buildings, play-

grounds, parking lots, other machines, ani-

mals, and other people.

e. Avoid operation or use extreme care if the

traction surface is wet, unstable, or slip-

pery.

f. Use extra care when grass clippings,

leaves, pine needles, or debris are present

as traction can be reduced.

g. Slow-down before turning and come to a

complete stop before any zero turn maneu-

ver.

h. Do not stop machine or park machine over

combustible materials such as dry grass,

leaves, debris, etc.

3. To Mow Grass and Produce a Striped Pat-

tern

B.Controls

1. Engine Ignition and Start Switch: (See Fig-

ure 1.) Located on the instrument housing of

the seat in the center support. When the key

is inserted and turned clockwise, 45 degrees,

the ignition circuit is closed. Turning the switch

further against spring pressure starts the

engine. The engine will only start if the blade

clutch switch is in the “off” position, the park-

ing brake is engaged and the left and right

steering levers are in the neutral. The key

should always be removed from the switch if

the operator leaves the mower’s seat.

2. Engine Throttle Control: (See Figure 2.)

Located on the left side of the seat support.

Moving the throttle control from the rear to the

front will increase the engine speed from slow

to fast.

3. Left and Right Steering Levers: (See Figure

3.) These levers control all of the movements

of the mower. Pushing both levers forward

causes the mower to move forward. Pulling

both levers back causes the mower to move

backward. Pushing one lever ahead of the

other lever causes the traction wheel on the

side where the lever is ahead to rotate faster

than the other traction wheel, making the

mower turn toward the side where the lever is

behind. When one lever is pushed forward

and the other lever pulled back the same

amount, one traction wheel will turn in reverse

and the mower will turn within its own length.

a. Pick a point on the opposite side of the

area to be mowed (post, tree, shrub, etc.).

b. If on an hillside, start at the bottom so that

the turns are uphill rather than downhill.

c. Align the mower so as to head directly

toward the object on the far side.

d. Slowly increase the speed of the machine

to match cutting conditions, terrain, and

operator familiarity with the controls and

keep the machine headed directly toward

the alignment object. Do not go fast as to

reduce cut quality or to be uncomfortable

in controlling the speed and direction of the

machine.

e. When approaching the other end of a strip,

slow down or stop before turning. A U-turn

is recommended unless a zero turn is

required. The speed of a U-turn that will

allow for machine controllability and mini-

mal turf defacement will be dependent on

several factors including: the speed of the

turn, the radius of the turn, the tire tread

pattern, the traction coefficient of the tire to

the traction surface, the slope of the trac-

tion surface.

In order to start the engine, both steering

levers must be in the neutral position; the

parking brake must be engaged; and the

blade clutch switch must be “off”. However,

once the engine starts, the parking brake

must be released before the operator moves

the steering levers out of neutral position or

the engine will automatically shut off.

Note: ^{The Steering Lever will return toward}

neutral when released, but they should be

placed in neutral by the driver. If the Drive

Handles are not placed in neutral, the tractor

may creep.

f. Remember, a zero turn requires that the

forward or reverse travel of the machine be

stopped prior to the initiation of the turn or

severe turf defacement can occur.

g. To prevent rutting or grooving of the turf,

change the direction that the strips are

mowed by approximately 45 degrees the

next and each subsequent time that the

area is mowed.

Figure 1) Located on the seat support above

the ignition switch. When the machine is run-

ning the tachometer displays engine rpm.

When the machine is off the tachometer dis-

plays running time.

4. Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure

1.) Located on the seat support beside the

ignition switch. This is an “on/off” push pull

switch that controls the electric blade clutch

which supplies power to the cutting blades

through the PTO. The switch must be turned

off to start the engine and should be turned

off for safety any time another person

approaches the mower or the mowing deck is

raised to the transport position. Power to the

electric clutch will also be cut off if the opera-

tor leaves the operator’s seat.

10. Choke Lever: (See Figure 2) The Choke

Lever is located on the left side of the seat

support. The Choke Lever is operated manu-

ally. Having the Choke Lever in the ON posi-

tion helps the engine to start during initial

start-up. During normal operation the Choke

Lever should be in the OFF position.

11. Folding Deck Control: The switch for the

electrically powered deck folding mechanism

is located on the seat support. Pull upward on

the switch to fold up, and push downward to

fold down.

5. Parking Brake: (See Figure 3.) Located on

the left side of the traction unit. The handle is

an overcenter lever which applies the drum-

type brake on each drive wheel when the han-

dle is pulled to the rear. The brake must be

engaged in order to start the engine.

6. Deck Lift Handle: (See Figure 3.) Located on

the right front corner of the mowing deck.

Raise the mowing deck to the transport posi-

tion, by pulling the lever to the rear and mov-

ing it inward into the stop for transport. To

lower the mowing deck, pull the deck lift han-

dle and move it outward. This lower’s the deck

to the cutting position.

7. Fuel Shutoff Valve: (See Figure 4.) Located

on top of the fuel tank(s). When turned in a

clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off

the flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in

a counterclockwise direction it will open and

allow fuel to flow to the engine. Close this

valve if you are not going to run the mower for

a period of 30 minutes or more to prevent

flooding the engine.

8. Seat Adjustment Lever: The Seat Adjust-

ment Lever is located beneath the seat. The

Seat Adjustment Lever is used to move the

seat forward and backward. To place the seat

in the desired position pull the seat adjust-

ment lever to the left then push the seat for-

ward or back to the desired position. Release

the lever so the seat will lock in place.

Follow the procedures below to set the appro-

priate pitch angle to the mowing deck.

a. Park the mower on a flat paved surface,

engage the parking brake, shut off the

engine, remove the key from the ignition

switch, remove connection of the spark

plugs and using the transport lever, lower

the mowing deck into the cutting position.

b. Using a ruler, pencil and paper, measure

and note the distance from the paved sur-

face to the bottom edge of the mowing

blade at the front and the back of the deck

on each side of the mower. (Four dimen-

sions.)

C.Initial Adjustments

1. Check the fluid levels and tires:

Note:^{These checks should be made daily,}

before starting the engine.

a. Fuel: Using a good grade of unleaded,

regular gasoline (for a gasoline engine), fill

the fuel tank (beside the engine on the left

or right side of the mower). When the fuel

reaches one inch from the top of the tank,

stop. DO NOT OVERFILL. Space must be

left for expansion.

b. Engine Oil: (Filled at the factory before

shipment.) Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it

off and reinsert it. Pull it out again and read

the oil level. If it is below the operating

range, add oil through the fill tube using a

funnel to bring it up to the top of the operat-

ing range.

Note:^{The front edge of the mowing deck}

should be 1/8"-1/4" below the rear edge of the

deck so that the blades are cutting grass in

only the front half of their circular path. This

decreases friction and reduces the drive

power required.

Note:^{Gasoline Engine: Use SAE 10W30 or}

c. If the dimension at the front of the mowing

deck is 1/8"-1/4" lower than the dimension

at the rear of the deck on each side of the

mower, do not adjust. If not, you will need

to adjust the Deck Links (See Performance

Adjustment section under Deck Leveling

Procedure).

SAE 10W40 engine oil, rated for service SJ.

c. Hydraulic Oil: (Filled at the factory before

shipment.) The hydraulic oil tank is located

beneath the operator’s seat. Always wipe

off the area around the oil tank fill neck

before checking the oil level to prevent dirt

from contaminating the oil. Remove the

cap and make sure the oil level is up to the

lowest hole on the oil tank fill neck. The top

hole is for venting. If the oil level is low, fill

with a good grade of 5W40 full synthetic

Shell Rotella.

5. Lubricate all fittings listed in the mainte-

nance section.

D. Zero Turn Break-In And Operating

Procedures

d. Tires: 10-12 psi Rear, 20-25 psi Front

Caster Tires

DANGER:

Reread the “When Mowing” Safety Precautions.

Note:^{New tires are overinflated in order to}

properly seat the bead to the rim. The normal

working pressure for the traction tires is 10-12

psi. The front caster wheels should be inflated

to 20-25 psi.

The following procedures are suggested for opera-

tors of ride-on machines which have zero turn

capabilities.

2. Check that all Nuts, Bolts and Screws are

Tight.

3. Check the tension of the deck drive belts.

a. Remove the deck cover

b. The tension of the deck drive belts are

maintained by a spring mechanism that

adjusts for wear and stretch.

c. Examine the belts for cuts, fraying, and

excessive wear. Replace if any of these

are detected.

1. Orientation:

a. Read the entire Operator’s Manual.

b. Sit on the machine, adjust the seat fore-

and-aft, then adjust the speed/directional

(lap bar) controls (they can be adjusted

fore-and-aft, as well as up-and-down —

9/16" wrench required).

c. Become familiar with all of the machine

controls, instrumentation, safety and

instruction signs, and safety devices.

d. Move (or have moved) the machine to a

safe, level area with no obstructions includ-

ing objects, pedestrians, and animals.

2. Initial Operation:

d. Replace the deck cover.

4. Adjust the Mowing Deck: The cutting height

is set anywhere in the range of 1-1/2" to 4".

You may need to adjust the mowing deck to

achieve the proper pitch angle for mowing.

a. Use protective equipment for eyes, hands,

hearing, feet, legs, head and other areas of

the body if needed — safety eye glasses,

gloves, earplugs, boots, hats, etc.

stop running. Move the lap bars back to

the neutral position and the engine

should run.

2. Repeat this procedure with the opposite

side lap bars.

WARNING:

3. With the park brake engaged and the lap

bars in the neutral position, advance the

engine speed control completely forward

(Hi-idle), engage the PTO control switch

(pull upward), then lift off the seat — the

engine should stop running. Sit down

and the engine should run.Turn off the

PTO by pushing the control switch down.

4. With the park brake engaged and the lap

bars in the neutral position, engage the

PTO control switch. Pull upward on the

deck folding switch — the mower deck

should stop. Push downward on the deck

folding switch — the mower deck should

start when both sides are latched down

and both switches depressed.

Hearing Protection is required for all operator

exposure exceeding two (2) hours.

b. Ensure that the area is free of animals and

bystanders, especially children!

c. Survey the area where the equipment is to

be used to make sure it is free of debris,

sticks, stones, wires, bones, and other for-

eign objects which could cause injury to

bystanders, damage to the machine, or

damage to nearby facilities.

d. Inspect the machine to make sure:

1. All guards, shields (including mower

chute deflector) are in their proper place,

are secure, and are functional.

2. That there are no spilled or leaking fuel

or oil sources, nor loose fuel or hydraulic

tank caps, hoses or fittings.

3. That there are no loose or missing hard-

ware nor any missing items.

4. That no non-approved devices are

installed.

5. That all safety signs and decals are

properly installed and legible.

h. To drive in the FORWARD direction:

1. Set the engine speed to 2000 to 2500

rpm (refer to tachometer on right control

panel). This must be increased to full

speed (3525-3675 rpm) after becoming

familiar with the machine.

2. Release the park brake.

3. Slowly, move both lap bars toward the

front of the machine until the machine

begins to move forward — release the

lap bars and the machine should stop.

The more that the lap bars are moved

toward the front of the machine, the

faster the machine will move in the for-

ward direction. Release the lap bars and

the machine should stop traveling for-

ward. (This is a safety check, the normal

procedure is for the operator to slowly

bring the lap bars to the neutral position).

4. Do not advance the lap bars rapidly as

this could cause turf defacement, loss of

traction, and/or instability.

5. To turn, advance one lap bar ahead of

the other and the machine will turn

toward the opposite from the side that

was advanced — I.E. to turn clockwise

(to the Right), move the LEFT lap bar for-

ward more than the right side, and to

turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT),

move the RIGHT lap bar forward more

than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is

in the neutral position and the other is

advanced, the turn side tire will not

rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed

— turf defacement could occur (if on

grass) as well as potential damages to

e. This is a one person machine, operator

only! Riders are not permitted under any

circumstance!

f. To start the engine on the machine:

1. Make sure the park brake is set to the

“ON” position, both lap bars are in the

neutral position, and the Power Take Off

(PTO also referred to as blade control

switch) is in the “off” (down) position.

2. Move the choke control forward and the

engine speed control (throttle) forward

(half way).

3. Insert the ignition key, turn the switch

toward the spring-loaded “Start” position,

maintain the Start position until the

engine begins to run, then release the

switch (it will return to the “Run” posi-

tion).

4. Retard the choke slowly by moving it

rearward. If the engine is “cold”, the

choke may need to be partially applied

for a few minutes. Be sure to totally

retard the choke after the engine has

“warmed up”.

g. Check safety devices:

1. With the park brake engaged, move one

of the lap bars (speed/directional control)

from the neutral position toward the front

of the machine — the engine should

the traction surface and the tire. If the lap

bar on the turn side is not brought all the

way to neutral, then the turn side tire will

continue to rotate and a “U-turn” will be

executed with a low potential for turf

defacement as well as traction surface

and tire damage.

Release both lap bars and the machine

should stop turning.

3. To turn counter-clockwise, slowly move

the RIGHT lap bar forward while simulta-

neously moving the LEFT lap bar rear-

ward. Release both lap bars and the

machine should stop turning (this is a

safety check, the normal procedure is for

the operator to slowly bring the lap bars

to the neutral position).

i. To drive in the REVERSE direction:

1. Make sure no bystanders, animals, or

objects are behind the machine. Look

behind the machine, and use extreme

care.

3. Start the Engine:

a. Open the fuel shutoff valve.

2. Slowly, move both lap bars toward the

rear of the machine until the machine

begins to move rearward. Release the

lap bars and the machine should stop.

The more the lap bars are moved toward

the rear of the machine, the faster the

machine will move in the reverse direc-

tion. Release the lap bars and the

machine should stop traveling in reverse

(this is a safety check, the normal proce-

dure is for the operator to slowly bring

the lap bars to the neutral position).

3. Do not retard the lap bars rapidly as this

could cause turf defacement and/or loss

of traction.

4. To turn, retard one lap bar ahead of the

other and the machine will turn toward

the same side that was retarded — I.E.,

to turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT),

move the LEFT lap bar rearward more

than the right side, and to turn clockwise

(to the RIGHT), move the RIGHT lap bar

rearward more than the left side. NOTE:

If one lap bar is in the neutral position

and the other is retarded, the turn side

tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will

be executed. Turf defacement could

occur (if on grass) as well as potential

damages to the traction surface and the

tire. If the lap bar on the turn side is not

brought all the way to neutral, then the

turn side tire will continue to rotate and a

“U-turn” will be executed with a low

potential for turf defacement as well as

traction surface and tire damage.

b. Sit on the Seat. Set the parking brake

“On”.

c. Make sure the left and right steering levers

are in the neutral position.

d. Turn the electric blade clutch switch “Off”.

e. Push the throttle control to a position a

third of the way between slow and fast.

f. Insert the key in the ignition and start

switch and turn the switch to “On”.

g. Gasoline Engine: If the engine is cold,

push the choke to the on position.

h. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direc-

tion to the “Start” position until the engine

starts.

Note:^{Do not hold the key in the “Start”}

position for more than 10 seconds or you may

damage the starter. If the engine does not start

in this time, wait about 30 seconds and try

again.

i. Gasoline Engine: Once the engine starts,

push the choke on halfway and as the

engine warms, push the choke off all the

way.

4. Operating the Mower: Operating a zero-turn-

ing-radius mower is not like operating a trac-

tor-type riding mower. The zero-turning-radius

mower is much more maneuverable and

much less fatiguing to operate. However, get-

ting used to the fingertip control of the zero-

turning-radius mower takes some practice.

We strongly recommend that you locate a

“test area” where you can operate the mower

for about 30 minutes without being disturbed.

a. Get into the operator’s seat.

j. To perform a “zero turn”:

b. Start the engine.

1. Please note, a zero turn maneuver can

not be executed while the machine is

moving in the Forward or, Reverse direc-

tions, the machine must come to a stop

first.

c. Use the transport lever to raise the mowing

deck to the transport position. Make sure

the blade clutch switch is off.

d. After the engine has warmed, adjust the

throttle to the fast position.

2. To turn clockwise, slowly move the LEFT

lap bar forward while simultaneously

moving the RIGHT lap bar rearward.

e. Release the parking brake.

f. Fold in the steering levers to the operating

position.

MAINTENANCE AND

SERVICE

WARNING:

When operating this mower forward, do not

allow the steering levers to return to the neu-

tral position on their own. Always maintain a

firm grip on the steering levers, operate them

smoothly and avoid any sudden movements of

the levers when starting or stopping.

Disconnect the spark plug wires or remove the

key from the ignition to prevent the engine

from accidentally starting before performing

any maintenance on this mower.

A. Mower Deck

g. To go forward, move both steering levers

slightly forward and the mower will slowly

move forward. The farther you move the

levers forward the faster the mower will go

forward.

h. To back up, move both steering levers

slightly backward and the mower will

slowly move backward. The farther you

move the levers backward the faster the

mower will go backward.

i. To turn, pull the lever back on the side to

which you want to turn. The farther back

you pull the lever, the faster and more

sharply you will turn. Initially, you will have

to be careful to avoid turning to fast and

too far.

j. After you have mastered operating the

mower, use the transport lever to lower the

mowing deck to the cutting position and

pull on the electric blade clutch switch to

start the blades rotating.

1. Removing the Mower Deck:

ture the lift handle by placing the height of

cut clevis pin above the lift handle.

c. Remove tension of the PTO belt by moving

the belt tensioning rod.

Note:^{There is a certain amount of spring}

tension due to the weight of the deck. When

removing the lift linkage from the deck the ten-

sion of the springs will go from the deck to the

lift handle. Not capturing the lift handle while

removing the lift linkage from the deck will

cause it to snap back.

d. Disconnect the four cables that fold the

deck by loosening the outer hex - nuts. Dis-

connect the wire harness from the location

and right rear side of the cutter deck, and

(1) hairpin from the front of the deck.

g. Turn front caster wheels outward.

h. Shift the deck toward the operator’s left

side of the mower and remove.

h. Sharpen the pivot blades as part of the

blade assembly, so that the balance of the

assembly can be checked. Sharpen blades

evenly at the original 30° angle to maintain

balanced cutting blades. Do not sharpen

the underside of the blades. Use a electric

blade sharpener, a conventional electric

grinder or a hand file to sharpen the

blades.

i. To install reverse the process.

2. Changing a Blade:

i. Replace any blade with severe nicks or

dents that cannot be removed by filing.

j. Check the balance of the blade assembly

after sharpening by placing it on a blade

balancer. Do not use un-balanced blades.

k. If the blade dips on one end, file stock off

of the cutting surface on that end.

l. To replace the blade reverse the above

process and tighten 1-1/8” nut to 100-120

lb ft. and the 9/16” nuts to 35-40 lb ft.

a. Remove the Key from the ignition and dis-

connect the spark plug and set the parkng

brake.

b. Jack up the front of the mowing deck about

one foot and block it in that position.

c. Use a 1-1/8" socket wrench on the pulley

side of the spindle to secure the blade bolt.

d. Remove the hex nut using a 1-1/8" wrench

or socket.

e. Remove the blade assembly from the bolt.

f. The pivot blades are attached to the blade

assembly with grade 8 shoulder bolts. To

remove the blades hold the head of the

bolt with a 3/4” wrench or socket and rem-

move the nut with a 9/16” wrench or

socket. Replace the 9/16” locknuts and the

grade 8 shoulder bolts, and apply locktite

262, or equivalent to the threads.

Note:^{Blade assemblies that cannot be eas-}

ily balanced—REPLACE. Replace 9/16” lock

nuts if the pivot blades are removed from the

assembly

3. Changing the Blade Drive Belts:

a. Set the parking brake. Remove ignition key

and both spark plug caps.

b. Unscrew the wing nuts from the deck cov-

ers and remove both covers.

WARNING:

c. Using a 1/2" socket breaker bar or socket

rachet insert the male end into the 1/2"

opening in the lower idler arm assembly

and pull the idler arm clockwise. While

holding the idler arm back, loosen the

blade drive belt from the pulley and slide

the belt away from the pulley.

Never mow with dull blades! Blades that are

bent should be replaced! The cutting blades

are sharp and can cause severe injury. Wrap

the cutting surface of the blade with a rag to

avoid injury.

g. Clean any debris from the blades. Keep

blades sharp and free of build up at all

times.

feeler gage (0.013" to 0.015") into each

slot as the air gap adjustment nut are tight-

ened. The correct adjustment occurs when

slight contact with the feeler gage occurs.

Engage the BBC a couple of times, and re-

check the air-gap. If it is not between

0.013" and 0.015", repeat the adjustment

procedure.

7. Safety Switches: There are five safety

switches in the electrical circuit which control

the engine. They are (1) the blade clutch

switch, (2) the parking brake switch, (3) the

left and (4) the right steering lever switches

and (5) the seat switch.They operate so that

in order to start the engine, the blade clutch

switch must be off, the parking brake must be

engaged, and both steering levers must be

opened-out to the side in the neutral position.

Once the engine is started, the seat must be

occupied and the parking brake must be

released before either of the steering levers is

folded up to the operating position or the

engine’s electronic ignition will be grounded

out and the engine will stop. Also, the seat

must be occupied before the blade clutch

switch can cause the blades to rotate. There

are two folding deck position switches that

interrupt power to the Blade Clutch Switch

whenever the folding sections are not latched

down and both switches are not depressed.

8. Safety Switch Operation Checks: The fol-

lowing operational checks should be made

daily.

b. Parking Brake Switch: Sit in the opera-

tor’s seat. With both steering levers

opened-out in the neutral position and the

blade clutch switch “off”, release the park-

ing brake and try to start the engine. The

engine should not start. If it does, the park-

ing brake switch must be repositioned or

perhaps replaced. If the engine does not

start, engage the parking brake and start

the engine. Swing one steering lever up to

the operating position and the engine

should stop. If the engine does not stop,

the parking brake switch must be reposi-

tioned or replaced.

c. Left and Right Steering Lever Switches:

Sit in the operator’s seat. With both steer-

ing levers opened-out in the neutral posi-

tion, the parking brake engaged and the

blade clutch switch “off”, swing the left

steering lever up to the operating position

and try to start the engine. The engine

should not start. If it does, the left steering

lever switch must be repositioned or per-

haps replaced. Open the left steering lever

to the neutral position and swing the right

steering lever up to the operating position

and try to start the engine. The engine

should not start. If it does, the right steer-

ing lever switch must be repositioned or

perhaps replaced. If the engine does not

start, Open the right steering lever to the

neutral position and start the engine.

Swing the left steering lever up to the oper-

ating position and the engine should stop.

If the engine does not stop, the left steering

lever switch must be repositioned or

replaced. Open the left steering lever out

to the neutral position and start the engine.

Swing the right steering lever up to the

operating position and the engine should

stop. If the engine does not stop, the right

steering lever switch must be repositioned

or replaced.

a. Blade Clutch Switch: Sit in the operator’s

seat. With both steering levers opened-out

in the neutral position and the parking

brake engaged, turn the blade clutch

switch “on” and try to start the engine. The

engine should not start. If it does, theblade

clutch switch must be replaced. If the

engine does not start, turn the blade clutch

switch “off” and start the engine. Now turn

the blade clutch switch “on” and the blades

should rotate. If the blades do not turn, the

blade clutch switch must be replaced, the

seat switch must be replaced or the elec-

tric PTO clutch must be repaired. The air-

gap should be checked every 300 hrs. (or

less, if severe operating conditions exist

such as when there are many on/off

cycles, mulching operations, material col-

lection systems used, and dusty/dirty con-

ditions), and the air-gap adjusted if more

than 0.035". To inspect, remove the “nega-

tive” cable from the battery and all spark-

plug wires. The air-gap should be checked

with feeler gages in the three slots of the

BBC. The air-gap should be adjusted to

0.013" to 0.015". There are three inspec-

tion slots i the brake cover.To adjust, suc-

cessively tighten each of the three gap

adjustment nuts an equal amount. Insert a

seat against spring pressure, and swing

one of the steering levers up to the operat-

ing position. Release the operator’s seat

and the engine should stop. If the engine

does not stop, the seat switch must be

replaced. With both steering levers folded

out in the neutral position, the parking

brake engaged and the blade clutch switch

in the “off” position, sit in the operator’s

seat and start the engine. Turn the blade

clutch switch to the “on” position and the

blades should start to rotate. Raise up

slightly off the operator’s seat and the

blades should stop. If the blades do not

tor’s seat, the seat switch must be

a. Balance inflation pressure between the

rear tires to help maintain straight travel

(see tire side wall for proper inflation pres-

sure).

b. Keep the valve caps tightened to prevent

air pressure loss.

2. Leaking Tires: When a flat tire occurs, repair

or replace immediately. The normal procedure

is to remove the wheel and replace it with a

spare. Take the leaking tire to a maintenance

area and repair. If a tire is getting soft, park

the mower on the nearest level, paved area. If

the leaking tire is on a traction wheel, put

blocks on each side of the opposite traction

wheel and jack up the tire that leaks about an

inch off the ground. Loosen and remove the

lug nuts and remove the wheel. Mount a

spare wheel and tire, replace the lug nuts, and

using a torque wrench, tighten them to 60

10 ft-lbs.

replaced.

e. Electric PTO Clutch: This clutch operates

when the engine is running, the operator is

in the operator’s seat and the blade clutch

switch is turned on.This electric clutch is a

fairly trouble free device. If a problem

develops and the blades do not turn, first

check the 7.5 amp fuse in the yellow, 16-

gauge wire between terminal “L” (for the

Gasoline Engine) on the ignition switch

and the hour meter and then investigate

the wiring harness and the connections to

the seat switch, the blade clutch switch and

the electric blade clutch. Then check out

the seat switch, the blade clutch switch and

finally the electric blade clutch.

If the leaking tire is on a front caster wheel,

block both traction wheels and raise the

caster wheel so that the tire is an inch off the

ground. Loosen and remove the locknut from

the axle assembly and pull the axle assembly

from the caster yoke. The wheel and two

spacer sleeves will drop free. Slip the axle

assembly through one side of the caster

yoke, through a spacer sleeve, a spare

wheel, the other spacer sleeve and finally

through the other side of the caster yoke.

Then tighten the locknut on the end of the

axle assembly.

f. Folding Deck Position Switches: There

are switches located on the folding deck

mechanism of each folding section, both

switches must be depressed to activate the

electric PTO clutch (BBC).

Lower the mower off the jack and continue

mowing. The wheel with the leaking tire

should be taken to the maintenance area, the

tire inflated to 20 psi and the wheel placed in

a large bucket of water. Carefully inspect the

tire, rim and valve for escaping air bubbles

which indicate a leak. Mark each leak with a

yellow marking crayon and then deflate the

tire to 8 psi and repeat the inspection. If the

leaks you find are pin hole size to 1/16"

diameter, the tire can be repaired using an

aerosol can of tire inflater and latex sealer

available from any auto supply store. Follow

the directions on the can. If the leaks are

larger than 1/16" diameter, the tire can be

repaired with rubber plugs also available in a

kit from any auto supply store. If the tire bead

is damaged, a tube will have to be installed in

the tire or the tire will have to be replaced.

D.Tires

The two front wheels are caster wheels that are free

to swivel to accommodate the direction of the Mower.

The two rear wheels are used to propel the Mower in

the direction of input from the drive handles. Inflation

pressure of the rear tires is important for stability

while the Mower is in operation. If the tire diameter is

not equal between the two tires, the Mower will pull to

one side.

1. Inflation Pressure:

a. Traction Tires—20 psi max; 10-12 psi rec-

ommended

b. Front Caster Wheel—28 psi max; 20-25

psi recommended

c. Cutting Deck Ball Wheels—Solid Polyure-

thane.

3. Creeping: Creeping is the slight forward or

backward movement of the mower when the

throttle is on and the lapbars are in the

opened-out position. If your mower creeps do

the following.

a. Jack up rear of unit.

1. Adjustments: The parking brake handle is an

overcenter lever that should engage with

moderate force.

b. Place Lapbars in neutral opened-out posi-

tion.

c. Locate jam nuts. (Reference control

assembly in parts list).

Note:^{To increase parking brake capacity}

tighten the brake rods going back to the brake

arms equally. Tighten rods one full turn and

check parking capacity. Repeat Step.

d. Loosen jam nuts on both ends of rod con-

nectors. See Control Assembly in the Illus-

trated Parts Book (ONLY if mower creeps.)

e. Start unit and push throttle all the way on.

f. If unit creeps forward rotate rear rod con-

nectors counter-clockwise. And if unit

creeps in reverse, rotate clockwise.

To adjust either brake individually, disconnect the

brake rod from the brake arm by removing the cotter

pin from the clevis pin and pulling the clevis pin from

the brake clevis. Loosen the hex nut and turn the

brake clevis in a clockwise direction one full turn

looking down the brake rod. This will tighten the brake

about .040 inch. Tighten the hex nut and reassemble

the brake clevis to the brake shaft assembly.

Normally, both brakes should be adjusted and equal

amount.

Adjust the appropriate rod connector. The

left rod for the left side of the mower and

the right rod for the right side of mower.

Afterward, retighten jam nuts.

2. Repair: The mower is equipped with drum

brakes and will not normally require mainte-

nance. If they are not working properly, please

contact your service center.

E. Brakes

While the mower is in motion, all braking is performed

dynamically through the hydraulic pumps and traction

motors, controlled by the two steering levers. When the

mower is parked with the engine shut off, the hydraulic

system locks the traction wheels.

F. Hydraulic System

1. Hoses: Check the hoses from the hydraulic

oil tank to the oil filter to the hydraulic lines

daily for leaks or abrasion and replace any

damaged hoses. Make certain there are no

kinks or twists in any hose.

Note:^{To move the mower forward or in}

reverse by pushing, you must release the

dynamic braking. Locate the valves on the

pump. Turn valves counter-clockwise one

quarter turn to push the unit. After pushing

the mower to the desired location, return both

valves to the operating position (See photo

below).

2. Hydraulic Oil Tank and Filter:

Note:^{Change the hydraulic oil and the oil}

filter after the first 50 hours of operation and

every 500 hours thereafter.

To drain the hydraulic oil tank, place a 2 quart drain

pan under the drain plug on the bottom of the

hydraulic oil tank. Remove the drain plug, drain the

tank, then replace the plug. Place the drain pan under

the filter and remove the filter by unscrewing in a

counterclockwise direction. The filter will be full of oil,

so empty it into the drain pan. You don’t have to drain

the rest of the hydraulic system. Fill the replacement

filter with 5W40 full synthetic oil and lubricate the

sealing surface. Screw the filter onto the filter base

until it seats and then another one-half turn to seal.

Hydro Release Valve

Note:^{Always wipe off the hydraulic tank fill}

cap and the area around it before removing

the cap to prevent dirt from contaminating the

oil.

Remove the fill cap and fill the tank with the same

5W40 oil selected for the filter until the oil level is up

to the level of the second hole in the fill tube. Leave

this air space for expansion. Start the engine and let it

run at idle for about five minutes. Check the filter for

rear. To make the adjustment, place the steer-

ing levers in the opened-out neutral position

and set the parking brake, shutoff the engine,

take the key from the ignition switch and pivot

the seat forward. If the mower creeps to the

right, you will adjust the linkage on the left

side of the mower and vice-versa. Remove

the cap screw and lock washer that secure

the linkage control arm rod end bearing to the

control lever pivot. Loosen the jam nut which

prevents the rod end bearing from turning. If

the mower creeps forward, thread the rod end

bearing one-half turn clockwise into the link-

age control arm. If the mower creeps back-

ward, thread the rod end bearing one half turn

counterclockwise out of the linkage control

arm. Then tighten the jam nut and reconnect

the rod end bearing to the control lever pivot

by replacing the cap screw and lock washer.

Note:^{After unit is up to operating tempera-}

ture, turn off engine and re-check hydraulic

oil. If oil appears foamy or contains excessive

air bubbles, DO NOT OPERATE UNIT. Contact

service technician.

3. Hydrostatic Pumps and Motors: The pumps

are the hardest-working components in the

hydraulic system. They are in operation all the

time the engine is running. Because of

extremely close tolerances, wear is an impor-

tant factor in their life. Contaminants in the

hydraulic oil and cavitation does the greatest

harm to the pumps. Cavitation is a blockage in

the supply lines that produces a partial vac-

uum causing violent bubbling in the hydraulic

oil in the pump.

After adjusting the steering linkage, swing the

seat back to its normal position and place the

steering lever on the side you adjusted up to

the operating position. If you feel a slight push

forward or a slight pull backward from the

neutral position you must adjust the lever

return assembly. To do this, swing the steering

lever back out to the neutral position, pivot the

seat forward and loosen the jam nut on the

lever return rod where it is threaded into the

hex-shaped end of the lever return bolt. If the

steering lever was pushed forward, turn the

hex-shaped lever return bolt clockwise one-

half turn off of the lever return rod. If the steer-

ing lever was pulled back, turn the hex shaped

lever return bolt counterclockwise one-half

turn onto the lever return rod. Then tighten the

jam nut, pivot the seat back into the operating

position and start the mower to check that

your adjustments were made correctly.

Check the two suction hoses (the hoses con-

nected to the filter) daily before starting the

engine. Look for a flattened condition or any

leaks and repair or replace as necessary. A

flattened or leakng suction hose will permit

cavitation to develop which can destroy the

pumps in a short time.

Contaminants or foreign matter in the oil will

also damage the pumps . To prevent this, use

a filter that captures particles as small as 30

microns or 30 millionths of a meter in diame-

ter. You can help in the battle against dirt by

being very careful when you remove or repair

a component in the hydraulic system. Thor-

oughly clean off any component before you

work on it. Plug the ends of any hose or line

you remove with a rubber or plastic plug. Use

plastic caps to seal off the ends of hydraulic

fittings. Place any component you remove in a

clean plastic bag so it can’t pick up dust or

dirt. Clean your hands frequently when work-

ing on the hydraulic components.

G. Storage

1. General: If your mower will not be in service

for a few months, it should be stored in a dry

location that is not subject to drastic changes

in temperature. Before storing, the following

maintenance procedures should be per-

formed.

Note:^{The pumps are not owner-repairable.}

If a pump fails, contact your Cub Cadet Com-

mercial dealer. Do not disassemble the pump.

4. Steering Lever Adjustments: Place the

mower on level ground with the engine run-

ning, parking brake off and steering levers

opened out to the neutral position. If the

Mower begins to creep, adjust the Steering

Levers.

a. Clean the mower. The entire tractor and

cutting deck should be washed and

cleaned.

b. Sharpen the blades so that the mower will

be ready to use when needed.

c. Protect the metal surfaces. Repair

scratches with the appropriate touch-up

spray paint. Brush a rust preventive oil on

any unpainted surfaces including the pul-

e. Drain the engine oil. The engine should be

warm so that all the oil drains. Replace the

engine oil filter and refill the crankcase with

fresh oil.

f. Gasoline Engine: Drain all the fuel. Close

the fuel tank shutoff valve. Disconnect the

fuel line from the carbuetor and put the end

into an approved fuel container. Open the

fuel tank shutoff valve and drain the fuel

tank and line into the approved container.

Replace the fuel line on the carburetor.

Start the engine and allow it to run out of

fuel. This will prevent gum and varnish

deposits from forming. Replace the fuel fil-

ter.

tery is fully charged.

i. Inspect the hydraulic hoses, lines and fit-

tings. Replace as necessary.

j. Jack the mower up and store it on blocks to

take the weight off of the tires.

2. To Put the Mower Back in Service:

a. Check the battery. Charge if necessary.

b. Gasoline Engine Only: Remove the spark

plugs and wipe them off. Using the starter,

crank the engine to pump the excess oil

out of the spark plug holes. Replace the

spark plugs and the ignition leads. Refill

the fuel tank with fresh gasoline.

C. Weekly or Every 50 Hour Checks

1. Change the engine oil. (Every 25 hours under

heavy duty operation.)

If mower tracks to one side with both lap bars in fully

forward position:

NOTE: RPM Specs. are for free running engines under no load.

1. Verify that the lap bars are in the neutral posi-

tion, the parking brake is on, and the PTO

drive is disengaged.

2. Start the mower and let it run at approximately

half throttle for 3-5 minutes to bring the engine

up to operating temperature.

3. Locate the Hour Meter/Tachometer/ Service

Minder display on the right hand operator con-

trol panel. (see Fig.1 on page 8 of the manual)

This display defaults to Tachometer mode

when engine is running.

4. Move the throttle lever to the high speed posi-

tion and note the RPM reading on the display.

5. Move the throttle lever back to the low speed

position and again note the displayed RPM’s.

6. Compare these noted RPM readings to the

specifications in Table 1, for the engine that is

on your mower.

7. If the readings do not correspond to the

ranges in the table, refer to the engine

owner’s manual for the proper adjustment pro-

cedures.

8. If adjustments per the engine operator’s man-

ual do not result in proper RPM readings, con-

tact your service technician.

9. Note: The throttle cable sheath may shrink or

slip over time, changing the relationship

between the throttle lever on the left hand

operator control panel and the throttle arm on

the engine.To readjust the throttle cable:

a. Make sure the engine is off, place lap bars

in the neutral position, set the parking

brake, and disconnect and ground both of

the spark plug wires.

1. Check air pressure in all four tires:

a. Pressure should be within specified ranges

and balanced side-to-side.

b. Rear tires 8-10 psi. recommended (20 psi

MAX.)

c. Front tires 20-25 psi. recommended (28 psi

MAX.

2. Check hydraulic fluid level (Ref. Engine

owner’s manual)

3. Verify that the mower does not creep when

the engine is running, the lap bars are in the

neutral position and the parking brake is

released. (Refer to section D-3 on page 19 of

this manual if this condition exists).

4. Recheck the tracking after any adjustments

based on the above.

5. If uneven tracking persists, adjust as follows.

(see Fig. 9)

a. Unit tracks to the RIGHT, adjust Left lap

bar stop bolt to make it longer.

b. Unit tracks to the LEFT, adjust Right lap

bar stop bolt to make it longer.

6. Re-check the tracking and make any fine tun-

ing adjustments to the lap bar stop bolts as

required.

Note:^{If stop bolt is adjusted too far, track-}

ing problem will change sides. Make the fine

tuning adjustments by shortening the same

bolt.

b. Locate and loosen the cable clamp on the

engine throttle plate.

c. Place the operator’s throttle lever to the

high speed position and then slide the

cable through the clamp until the throttle

arm is in the full throttle position. (Ref.

Engine owner’s manual)

d. Tighten the cable clamp.

e. Move the operator’s throttle lever between

high and low speed and verify that the

engine throttle arm also moves through it’s

full range of motion.

f. Repeat as required to obtain proper throt-

tle adjustment.

g. Verify proper throttle adjustment by check-

ing RPM readings as outlined above.

4. Check factory settings of lap bars for the con-

ditions listed above.

C. Deck Corner Ball Wheel Roller Settings

1. Matching the set heights of the ball rollers on

the four corners of the mower deck to the

desired cut height will prevent edge scalping

and minimize any side-to-side variance in cut

height.

2. There are three height adjustment holes in

the bracket that mount the ball rollers to the

deck.

Note:^{If lap bar adjustments are required,}

height adjustments should be made prior to

angular adjustments.

5. To adjust the height of the lap bars,

a. Remove the nuts from the lap bar mounting

bolts (see Fig. 10).

b. Remove the bolts and lap bar and repostion

to the seconc set of holes in the mounting

block.

a. Use the top set of holes for cut heights of 2

inches or lower.

c. Replace the bolts and nuts and tighten to

28-34 ft-lbs.

1. If angular adjustments are also required,

nuts can be tightened until snug at this

point.

b. Use the middle set of holes for a 2-1/2 - 3-1/2

inch cut height.

c. Use the bottom set of holes for cut heights of

4 inches.

d. The same adjustments should be made to

both sides of the mower.

D. Deck Center Anti-Scalp Roller Settings

1. The front and rear rollers help prevent the

scalping of high spots and uneven terrain

across the center section of the deck.

2. The rollers on the front of thedeck are fixed at

the factory and can not be adjusted.

3. The rollers on the rear of the deck can be

adjusted downward one inch.

6. To adjust the front-to-rear angle of the lap bars,

a. Loosen the nuts on the lap bar mounting

bolts, leaving the bottom one fairly snug.

b. The top hole is slotted, allowing the lap bar

to pivot on the bottom bolt.

c. Move lap bar to the desired angle and

tighten the nuts to 28-34 ft-lbs.

a. Lowering the roller will increase the strip-

ing effect left behind the mower.

b. This positioning of the rear roller will also

help to filter the mulched grass clippings

into the turf.

Note:^{In the neutral position, the handles of}

the lap bars should be aligned with approxi-

mately a one inch gap between the tips. Adjus-

the gap by adding shim washers to the top

mounting bolt between the lap bar and the

mounting block.

c. Roller should not be lowered if the cut

height is set at 2-1/2 inches or lower.

d. Check the results of any adjustments to

the conditions described in section a,

above. Repeat any adjustment procedures

as required until all conditions are met.

E. Lap Bar Adjustment

1. Proper lap bar and seat adjustment will result

in the following:

a. In the neutral position with hands on the

lap bars,

1. Operator’s upper arms should be relaxed

and approximately vertical.

2. Operator’s forearms should be approxi-

mately vertical.

b. In the full forward position,

1. Operator’s back should stay in contact

with the seat back.

2. Lap bars should not contact operator’s

legs.

c. In the full reverse position,

1. Lap bars should not contact the opera-

tor’s legs or torso.

2. Set the seat to the preferred operating position.

a. Adjustment lever is located under the front

edge of the seat.

2. Activate lift switch quickly “on” then “off” to

raise the wings. (This will slowly tighten the

cable in increments).

3. Observe which cable tightens first.

4. Keep activating the switch until one of the

deck wing latches just begins to release

(slightly disengaged).

5. Tighten the opposite cable using two 1/2”

open end wrenches until that deck wing latch

appears to be at the same relese point as the

other.

6. Again, activate lift switch quickly “on” and “off”

until one of the latches just begins to release.

7. Check the opposite cable to verify that the

deck latch is at the same release point as the

other.

8. Lower the wing and repeat the procedure to

verify that both latches are releasing at the

same point.

9. Repeat the above procedure on the other side

of the deck. (Steps 1 through 8)

10. After adjusting both sides, raise and lower the

wings full up and full down as normal opera-

tion. (20+ cycles required)

11. Wings should come up simultaneously,

smoothly w/o ticking, binding or abrupt

unlatching of the locks.

F. Deck leveling Procedure

1. Park the mower on a flat paved surface, engage

the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove

the key from the ignition switch, disconnect the

spark plug wires and using the transport lever,

lower the mowing deck into the 4" height of cut

position. (The 4" height of cut position is recom-

mended in order for one to see and obtain a

measurement. Any height of cut position is

acceptable as long as a proper measurement

can be taken.)

2. Check the right and left front tire pressure.

Adjust as necessary to 20-25 psi. Tire pressure

can affect blade height by as much as a 1/4”.

3. Check the right and left rear Drive tire pressure.

Adjust as necessary to 10-12 psi.

4. Measure blade-to-ground height at the front tip

of the right blade.To obtain an accurate mea-

sure, align blades in parallel with mower center-

line, (i.e. front to back).

5. Measure blade-to-ground height at the front tip

of the left blade. Be sure to measure at the

blade tip with the blades arranged in proper

position.

6. To level the deck, adjust the threaded bolt on the

left side of the deck (Point B) so that the blade-

to-ground height at the right front blade tip

matches that of the left front blade tip. This is

done by loosening the jam nut on the threaded

bolt and tightening the upper nut to raise the

deck and loosening the nut to lower the deck.

The right front blade tip height is fixed so you

must adjust the left front tip to match it.

12. Readjustment is required if there is any stick-

ing or wings obviously do not raise together

(one side starts raising before the other).

13. After 20+ trouble free cycles reinstall latch

sytem covers.

7. Measure the blade-to-ground height at the right

rear blade tip. Again be sure to measure at the

blade tip at the rear of the right blade when

aligned along the mower centerline. The blade-

to-ground height at the rear of the blade tip

should be 1/8" to 1/4” higher than the front tip.

This is referred to as blade pitch. The same

height difference should be true for the left

blade, measured front and back.

8. To adjust the blade pitch the deck pitch must be

adjusted. Loosen the inner jam nut at the front

rod end to raise the front of the deck, tighten the

hex-head bolt to reduce the deck pitch.

(see Fig. 11)

G. Deck lift cable adjustment Procedure

Note: ^{Start at either side w/ wings in down}

position. Do one side then the other.

1. Remove deck wing latch system covers using

a 9/16” wrench.
