PROTECT CHILDREN!  
1. Stop machine on a level surface, not on a slope.  
2. Disengage mower blades.  
3. Lock the park brake.  
4. Stop the engine.  
5. Remove the key.  
6. Wait for engine and all moving parts to stop before you  
leave the operator’s station.  
7. Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.  
8. Disconnect the negative battery cable or remove the  
spark plug wire (for gasoline engines) before servicing  
the machine.  
ROTATING BLADES ARE DANGEROUS!  
HELP PREVENT SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS:  
Death or serious injury can occur when young children  
associate having fun with a lawn mowing machine  
simply because someone has given them a ride on a  
machine.  
Children are attracted to lawn mowing machines and  
mowing activities. They don’t understand the dangers  
of rotating blades or the fact that the operator is un-  
aware of their presence.  
Children who have been given rides in the past may  
suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride  
and be run over or backed over by the machine.  
Tragic accidents with children can occur if the operator  
is not alert to the presence of children, especially when  
a child approaches a machine from behind. Before and  
while backing up, stop mower blades and look down  
and behind the machine carefully, especially for chil-  
dren.  
Rotating blades can cut off arms and legs, and throw  
objects. Failure to observe safety instructions could  
result in serious injury or death.  
Never carry children on a machine or attachment,  
even with the blades off. Do not tow children in a cart  
or trailer. They can fall off and be seriously injured or  
interfere with safe machine operation.  
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from mower deck  
when engine is running.  
Be alert at all times, drive forward carefully. People,  
especially children can move quickly into the mowing  
area before you know it.  
Never use the machine as a recreational vehicle or to  
entertain children.  
Never allow children or an untrained person operate  
the machine. Instruct all operators not to give children a  
ride on the machine or in an attachment.  
Keep children indoors, out of the mowing area, and in  
the watchful eye of a responsible adult, other than the  
operator, when a mower is being operated.  
Stay alert to the presence of children. Never assume  
that children will remain where you last saw them. Turn  
the machine off if a child enters the work area.  
Do not mow in reverse.  
Shut off blades when you are not mowing.  
Park machine safely before leaving the operator sta-  
tion for any reason including emptying the catchers or  
unplugging the chute.  
Avoid Tipping  
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and  
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or  
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.  
Mow across slopes, not up and down.  
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden  
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.  
Tall grass can hide obstacles.

SAFETY  
Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to  
stop or shift while on a slope.  
100 hours of operation.  
Wheel hardware must be tightened to specified torque  
using the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.  
Do not mow or operate machine on wet grass. Tires  
may lose traction. • • • Tires may lose traction on slopes  
even though the brakes are functioning properly.  
Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the  
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly, straight down the slope.  
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do  
not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which  
could cause the machine to roll over.  
Use extra care while operating machine with grass-  
catchers or other attachments, they can affect stability  
of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.  
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or  
bodies of water. The machine could suddenly roll over if  
a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in.  
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel  
weights or counterweights for added stability when  
operating on slopes or using front or rear mounted at-  
tachments. Remove weights when not required.  
Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when  
attachment is removed.  
Wear Appropriate Clothing  
Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses with side  
shields, and a hard hat when operating the machine.  
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment ap-  
propriate for the job.  
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and  
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when  
barefoot or wearing open sandals.  
Wear a suitable protective device such as earplugs.  
Loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.  
Maintenance and Storage  
Never operate machine in a closed area where danger-  
ous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.  
Disengage drives, lower implement, lock parking brake,  
stop engine and remove key or disconnect spark plug  
(for gas engines). Wait for all movement to stop before  
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.  
Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, muf-  
flers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or  
fuel spillage.  
Let engine cool before storing and do not store near  
flame.  
Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store  
fuel near flames or drain indoors.  
Transport machine with decks lowered to improve  
stability.  
Keep Riders Off  
Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders  
off.  
Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained  
personnel to service machine. Understand service  
procedure before doing work.  
Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by  
foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing seri-  
ous injury.  
Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the ma-  
chine being operated in an unsafe manner.  
Use jack stands or lock service latches to support com-  
ponents when required. Securely support any machine  
elements that must be raised for service work.  
Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully  
release pressure from any components with stored  
energy, such as hydraulic components or springs.  
Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment or  
cutting units to the ground or to a mechanical stop and  
move hydraulic control levers back and forth.  
Disconnect battery or remove spark plug (for gas  
engines) before making any repairs. Disconnect the  
negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect  
positive first and negative last.  
Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blades or  
wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them.  
Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.  
Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and long hair away  
from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjust-  
ments with the engine running.  
Avoid High Pressure Fluids  
Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical dam-  
age, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines  
regularly. Replace damaged hoses and lines.  
Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physical  
damage and vibration. Check connections regularly.  
Tighten loose connections.  
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin  
causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving  
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.  
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.  
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect  
hands and body from high pressure fluids.  
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any  
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed  
within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors  
unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a  
knowledgeable medical source.  
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away  
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before con-  
necting or disconnecting from battery. • Wear protective  
clothing and use insulated tools.  
Checking Wheel Hardware  
A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if  
Keep all parts in good working condition and all hard-  
ware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.  
Check grass catcher components and the discharge  
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s rec-  
wheel hardware is not tight.  
Check wheel hardware tightness often during the first

SAFETY  
ommended parts, when necessary. Grass catcher com-  
clothing, change clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled  
near machine, do not attempt to start the engine but  
move the machine away from the area of spillage.  
Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors  
have dissipated.  
Never store the machine or fuel container where there  
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a wa-  
ter heater or other appliance.  
Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric dis-  
charge. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors  
in an ungrounded fuel container.  
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or  
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers  
on the ground away from your vehicle before fueling.  
ponents are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration  
which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be  
thrown.  
Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attach-  
ment bolts, to be sure the equipment is in safe working  
condition.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service  
as required.  
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one  
blade can cause other blades to rotate.  
Prevent Fires  
Remove grass and debris from engine compartment  
and muffler area, before and after operating machine,  
especially after mowing or mulching in dry conditions.  
Empty the grass catcher completely before storing.  
Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting ma-  
chine, if the machine has a fuel shutoff.  
Do not store machine near an open flame or source of  
ignition, such as a water heater or furnace.  
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for  
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.  
Tire Safety  
Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or  
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,  
then refuel such equipment with a portable container,  
rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank  
or container opening at all times until the fueling is  
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and  
tighten securely.  
Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.  
For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.  
Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environ-  
ment.  
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause seri-  
ous injury or death:  
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equip-  
ment and experience to perform the job.  
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate  
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld  
or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause  
an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.  
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.  
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension  
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and  
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.  
Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged  
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.  
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals  
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake  
fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and  
people:  
Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids -  
someone may drink from them.  
See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to  
learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.  
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides spe-  
cific details on chemical products: physical and health  
hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response  
techniques. The seller of the chemical products used  
with your machine is responsible for providing the  
MSDS for that product.  
Handling Fuel Safely  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use  
extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flam-  
mable and fuel vapors are explosive:  
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other  
sources of ignition.  
Use only an approved fuel container. Use only non-  
metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Under-  
writer’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for  
Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make  
sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.  
Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the  
engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.  
Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine in-  
doors. Move machine outdoors and provide adequate  
ventilation.  
Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on

Changing Hydraulic Oil and Filter  
Use only 5W-50 or 15W-50 all synthetic oil.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under  
pressure can penetrate the skin causing  
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving  
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or  
other lines. Tighten all connections before  
applying pressure. Search for leaks with a  
piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body  
from high pressure fluids.  
Checking Hydraulic Oil Level  
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Check oil level in reser-  
voir tank when oil is cold.  
Do not overfill oil reservoir tank. Oil will expand during oper-  
ation and could overflow.  
Use caution when filling and draining  
hydraulic oil. During periods of machine  
operation the hydraulic oil reservoir can get  
hot. Allow engine and oil reservoir to cool  
before servicing.  
1. Park machine safely. (Refer to Parking Safely in

not use fuel or additives containing methanol as engine  
damage can occur.  
Adjusting Operator Presence Switch  
Always use fresh, clean fuel that is purchased in a quantity  
that can be used within approximately 30 days, or add fuel  
stabilizer.  
Fuel is blended to give best seasonal performance. To  
avoid engine performance problems such as hard starting  
or vapor lock, use in-season fuel. Use fuel during warm  
weather that was purchased during that season, and use  
fuel during cold weather that was purchased during that  
season.  
Fuel can become stale in machines with engines that are  
used seasonally or infrequently during a season. Stale  
fuel can produce varnish and plug carburetor components  
which can affect engine performance.  
1. Remove the OPC plate covering the operator presence  
switch by removing the two 3/8-16n1.25 carriage bolts  
securing it in place.  
2. Carefully cut the wire tie securing the harness to the  
plate.  
Keep fuel storage container tightly covered and in a cool  
area out of direct sunlight. Fuel can break down and de-  
grade if not sealed properly or exposed to sun and heat.  
Condensation may collect in the fuel tank because of a  
variety of operating or environmental conditions and, over  
time, may affect your machine’s operation. Fill fuel tank at  
the end of daily use and store fuel in plastic containers to  
reduce condensation.  
For best year-round performance and fuel-handling, add  
stabilizer to fuel immediately after fuel purchase. Such  
practice helps prevent engine performance problems and  
allows fuel storage in the machine all year without draining.

harness to the plate again.  
Shut engine off before filling fuel tank.  
Do not smoke while handling fuel.  
Keep fuel away from flames or sparks.  
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.  
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.  
Use clean approved non-metal container to  
prevent static electric discharge.  
The switch is properly adjusted when there is 3/8” - 1/2”  
clearance between the rubber bumper and the support  
plate when there is not any pressure applied to the plate.  
The foot plate can be adjusted by tightening or loosening  
the lock nut (C) holding the compression spring in place.  
Use clean approved plastic funnel without  
screen or filter to prevent static electric dis-  
charge.  
Service Miscellaneous  
Using Proper Fuel  
Use regular grade unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87  
octane or higher. Fuel blends containing up to 10% ethanol  
or up to 15% MTBE reformulated fuel are acceptable. Do

Important: Avoid damage! Dirt and water in fuel can  
cause engine damage:  
Clean dirt and debris from the fuel tank  
opening.  
Use clean, fresh, stabilized fuel.  
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day’s  
operation to keep condensation out of the fuel  
tank.  
Use a non-metallic funnel with a plastic mesh strainer  
when filling the fuel tank or container.  
Fill fuel tank at the end of each day’s operation to prevent

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Cleaning and Repairing Metal Surfaces  
Cleaning:  
Follow automotive practices to care for your vehicle painted  
metal surfaces. Use a high-quality automotive wax regu-  
larly to maintain the factory look of your vehicle’s painted  
surfaces.  
Repairing Minor Scratches (surface scratch):  
1. Clean area to be repaired thoroughly.  
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not use rubbing com-  
pound on painted surfaces.  
1. Use automotive polishing compound to remove surface  
scratches.  
2. Apply wax to entire surface.  
Repairing Deep Scratches (bare metal or primer show-  
ing):  
1. Clean area to be repaired with rubbing alcohol or min-  
eral spirits.  
2. Use paint stick with factory-matched colors available  
from your authorized dealer to fill scratches. Follow  
directions included on paint stick for use and for drying.  
3. Smooth out surface using an automotive polishing  
compound. Do not use power buffer.  
3. Remove locknut (A), cap screw (B), and wheel assem-  
bly (C).

Check  
Poor Engine  
Performance  
Fuel:  
Your authorized dealer has the professional materials need-  
ed to properly remove surface scratches from any plastic  
surfaces, do not attempt to paint over marks or scratches in  
plastic parts.  
• Dirt in fuel system or fuel is  
old. Replace fuel with fresh  
stabilized fuel. Obtain fuel  
from another supplier before  
suspecting machine problems.  
Suppliers blend fuels differently  
and changing suppliers will  
generally solve any performance  
problems.  
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Improper care of machine  
plastic surfaces can damage that surface:  
Do not wipe plastic surfaces when they are  
dry. Dry wiping will result in minor surface  
scratches.  
Use a soft, clean cloth (bath towel, diaper,  
automotive mitt).  
Do not use abrasive materials, such as pol-  
ishing compounds, on plastic surfaces.  
Do not spray insect repellent near machine.  
• Fuel blended with alcohol or ether  
may contribute to performance  
problems by causing gum and  
varnish deposits, especially if  
fuel is stored for several weeks  
or more. Obtain fresh fuel.  
1. Wash surface with clean water and a mild liquid auto-  
motive washing soap.  
2. Dry thoroughly to avoid water spots.

fuel tank and helps reduce deterioration of fuel.  
If you are not using “Stabilized Fuel:”  
1. Park machine safely in a well-ventilated area. (See  
Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)  
NOTE: Try to anticipate the last time the machine will  
be used for the season so very little fuel is left in the  
fuel tank.

• Reduce ground speed when  
making turns.  
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Stale fuel can produce  
varnish and plug carburetor or injector components  
and affect engine performance.  
• Sharpen or replace blades.  
• Change mowing pattern.  
• Check air pressure in all traction  
unit tires.  
Add fuel conditioner or stabilizer to fresh fuel before
