SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
General Use Continued  
Remember  
¾Always look around before and during reversing  
maneuvers.  
The operator is responsible  
for avoiding dangers or  
accidents.  
¾ Slow down before turning.  
¾ Shut down the mower deck when not mowing.  
¾ Be careful when rounding fixed objects, so that  
the blades do not hit them.  
WARNING  
¾ Only operate the machine in daylight or other  
well-lit conditions.  
When using the  
¾ Keep the machine a safe distance from holes  
or other irregularities in the ground.  
machine, approved  
personal protective  
equipment shall be  
used. Personal  
¾ Never use the machine if you are tired, if you  
have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other  
drugs or medications that can affect your vision,  
judgment, or coordination.  
protective  
equipment cannot  
eliminate the risk of  
injury, but it will  
reduce the degree of  
injury if an accident  
does occur. Ask  
your retailer for help  
in choosing the right  
equipment.  
¾ Beware of traffic when working near or  
crossing a road.  
¾ Never leave the machine unsupervised with  
the engine running. Always shut down the blades,  
engage the parking brake, stop the engine, and  
remove the ignition key before leaving the  
machine.  
¾ Never allow children or other persons not  
trained in the use of the machine to use or service  
it. Local laws may regulate the age of the user.  
¾ Make sure that you have first aid equipment  
close at hand when using the machine.  
¾ Never use the machine when barefoot. Always  
wear protective shoes or boots.  
¾ Always wear approved protective glasses or a  
full visor when assembling or driving.  
¾ Ear Protection is recommended  
¾ Never wear loose clothing that can get caught in  
moving parts.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Slope Operation  
¾ Remove obstacles such as stones, tree branches, etc.  
¾ Mow up and down, not side to side. Never drive the rider  
on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees.  
¾ Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires begin to  
slip, shut down the blades and drive slowly down the slope.  
Remember  
¾ Always drive evenly and slowly on slopes.  
The operator is  
responsible for  
avoiding dangers or  
accidents.  
¾ Make no sudden changes in speed or direction.  
¾ Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it proves  
necessary, turn slowly and gradually downward, if possible.  
¾ Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. On uneven terrain, the  
machine can tip more easily. Long grass can hide obstacles.  
¾ Drive slowly and use small movements of the steering  
controls.  
¾ Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the tires can  
loose their grip, so that the machine slides.  
¾ Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot on the  
ground.  
Children  
¾ Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on guard for  
children in the area of the machine. Children are often  
attracted to the machine and mowing work. Never assume that  
children will stay put where you last saw them.  
¾ Keep children away from the mowing area and under close  
supervision by another adult.  
¾ Shut off the machine if children enter the work area.  
¾ Never allow a child to ride with you.  
¾ Never allow children to operate the machine.  
¾ Be extra cautious near corners, bushes, trees, or other  
objects that block your view.

OPERATION  
Starting  
¾ Operator must be sitting in the seat. Control handles must be in the neutral  
(outward) position. Parking Brake on. PTO must be in the disengage position  
(pushed down).  
¾ Set choke (if needed), turn key and release as soon as engine starts. Adjust  
throttle to half and shut choke off.  
¾ Release the Parking Brake.  
¾ Be sure all people are clear of the area. Engage blades and set RPM to  
maximum.  
NOTE:  
If you have never used a Zero  
Turn mower before, refer to the  
Operation Controls section of  
this manual before attempting  
to operate one for the first time.  
Grass Height & Cutting Suggestions  
¾ Do not attempt to cut wet grass  
¾ The average lawn should be cut to 2 ½” during the cool season and to over 3”  
during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after  
moderate growth.  
¾ As a rule , never cut more than 1/3 of the total grass blade length. Correct  
mowing height can reduce weeds and lawn disease.  
¾ For best performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice.  
The first cut should be set relatively high and the second set to the desired height.

SWISHER HISTORY  
Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn mowers from  
his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his  
family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower  
and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circled the tree, shortening the  
rope and guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while  
his invention did all the work.  
Max had designed his first self-propelled rotary lawn mower to do his dirty work for him.  
Neighbors noticed his new invention and began asking him to make more. Today, 60 years  
later, Swisher Mower and Machine Company, Inc. is still producing innovative lawn and garden  
and ATV/UTV equipment designed to give us all more “relaxing in the shade” time.  
Swisher products have been featured nationally on television programs such as Regis and Kathie  
Lee and seen in publications like ATV Magazine, Country Journal, Popular Mechanics  
Magazine and others. In January 2000 Popular Mechanics Magazine named Max’s zero turning  
radius riding mower one of the 20th century’s top household inventions.  
Swisher offers value and function in its products to meet your grounds maintenance needs.
