equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
Safety is a primary concern in the design and  
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our  
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped  
out by an operator’s single careless act.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
Make sure the driveline spring-activated locking  
collar slides freely and is seated firmly in power  
unit PTO groove. Make sure the set screws  
securely attach driveline to the attachment gearbox  
shaft.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-  
cern, judgement, and proper training of  
personnel involved in the operation, transport,  
maintenance, and storage of equipment.  
The safety interlock system was installed for  
your protection. Do not disconnect, disable, over-  
ride, or execute any action that would cause this  
system to malfunction. If malfunction occurs, stop  
all operation and contact dealer for repair.  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be  
that kind of operator.  
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
TRAINING  
Safety instructions are important! Read all  
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all  
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-  
ment manuals and safety decals are available from  
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check  
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-  
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules  
can result in serious injury or death.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and under  
the watchful care of a responsible adult other than  
the operator.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  
Data indicates that those operators age 60 years  
and above are involved in a large percentage of  
riding mower-related injuries. Those operators  
should evaluate their ability to operate the riding  
mower safely enough to protect themselves and  
others from injury.  
Be sure either the discharge chute, mulching  
end cap, or complete vacuum attachment is  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
When using weight transfer system, correct  
counterweight must be used to maintain stability.  
See counterweight chart in power unit manual or  
contact dealer.  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
When equipped with ROPS, total vehicle weight  
with all equipment, ballast, and operator must not  
exceed 2,590 lbs.  
Operators must be instructed in and be capable  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instructions.  
Do not mow on wet grass.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
While fueling, extinguish all cigarettes, cigars,  
pipes, and other sources of ignition.  
PREPARATION  
Never fuel the machine indoors.  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
Never fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or a  
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always  
place container on the ground away from the vehi-  
cle before filling.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)  
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck  
or trailer and refuel on the ground. If this is not  
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer  
with a portable container, rather than from a  
gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
When improperly operated, power unit can roll  
over or upset. Use of rollover protective structure  
(ROPS) with seat belt securely fastened will reduce  
the possibility of injury or death if rollover or upset  
occurs.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the  
fuel tank opening at all times until fueling is com-  
plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
Use care when operating with ROPS or sun-  
shade around shrubs, trees or other objects that  
can become entangled with power unit.  
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing  
immediately.  
Use extreme care when approaching blind cor-  
ners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block  
your vision.  
Never over-fill tank. Replace gas cap and tighten  
securely.  
Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
Handle fuel carefully; it is highly flammable.  
Always use an approved container. Never remove  
fuel cap or add fuel while engine is running. Allow  
engine to cool before refueling. Wipe up all spilled  
fuel before starting engine.  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
Start engine from operator's seat after disen-  
gaging power unit PTO and placing steering levers  
in neutral.  
TRANSPORTATION

machine onto a trailer or truck.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely neces-  
sary.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Slow down before turning.  
Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Do not operate on slopes greater than 15  
degrees (27% grade).  
Transport power unit facing rearward when  
equipped with a sunshade.  
Mow up and down slopes, not across.  
If the tires lose traction on a slope, disengage  
the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the  
slope.  
OPERATION  
Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and under  
the watchful care of a responsible adult other than  
the operator.  
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direc-  
tion which could cause the machine to roll over.  
Make sure people and objects are clear of  
attachment and discharge area before engaging  
PTO.  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
Installation of a grasscatcher assembly will  
reduce the stability and maneuverability of the  
Mow'n Machine when operating on sloping terrain.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters  
the mowing area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and  
down for children.  
Do not tow a trailer over 200 lbs. Do not tow a  
trailer or add power unit ballast with a combined  
weight over 200 lbs. Too much weight can cause  
loss of traction or stability on a slope. It can also  
reduce parking brake ability. Too much weight will  
shorten the hydraulic system life. Never tow a  
trailer with a grass collection system attached to  
the power unit.  
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

ments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a  
wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
Do not put Mow’n Machine into service unless  
clutch is working properly. When the engine is at  
full throttle, PTO-driven accessories must stop  
within five seconds after the PTO switch is turned  
to “OFF.” See your dealer for replacement  
clutches.  
Do not drive or operate mower in tilt-up posi-  
tion. Power unit stability is not adequate and result-  
ing loads can damage or cause failure of tilt-up  
mechanism.  
Never leave a running machine unattended.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Moving steering levers rapidly from forward to  
reverse or reverse to forward could cause loss of  
control.  
Do not operate power unit with attachment  
removed. Attachment is required for power unit  
stability.  
Do not remove radiator cap while engine is hot.

Safety Switch System  
Several safety switches are incorporated in the unit’s  
design to prevent it from being started out of NEUTRAL  
(handles pivoted outward) or with PTO engaged.  
Operation 11  
MAN0875 (2/8/2011)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The PTO control must be in the “OFF” position and the  
steering handles in the NEUTRAL position before unit  
can be started.  
STARTING MOWER OR ATTACHMENT  
A safety switch behind the operator’s seat will cause  
the engine to stop if the operator leaves the seat with  
the PTO or steering handles engaged. The engine will  
also stop if the steering handles are moved from NEU-  
TRAL while the parking brake is engaged or if the deck  
jumper wire is not connected to the wire harness or the  
deck safety switch is disengaged.  
Make sure people and objects are clear of  
attachment and discharge area before engaging  
PTO.  
NOTICE  
Never engage PTO if the mower blades are  
plugged with grass or other material. This may  
cause damage to the electric clutch.  
STARTING ENGINE  
1. With engine running, position throttle at half speed.  
2. Engage PTO by pulling up on the PTO switch.  
3. Move throttle to full speed and begin operation.  
Do not run engine indoors. Exhaust gases con-  
tain carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly poi-  
son.  
NOTE: Starting attachment at lower engine speed will  
help prolong the life of the clutch and transmission  
components.  
To enhance starter life, use short starting cycles not  
exceeding 10 seconds. If engine does not start within  
10 seconds, stop cranking for 30 seconds; then repeat  
starting procedures.  
Stopping Mower or Attachment  
Push down on PTO switch.  
1. Position yourself on the power unit seat.  
2. Set parking brake.  
NOTE: If attachment does not stop in five seconds, the  
unit requires service.  
3. Place steering control handles in the NEUTRAL  
PRACTICE OPERATION  
position (pivoted outward).  
4. Place PTO switch in the “OFF” position (down).  
5. Place throttle approximately 1/3 open.  
6. Turn key to “START”.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
7. Ensure that the alternator and oil pressure lights  
are off.  
Operating this unit is not difficult once you are familiar  
with the use of the controls. Equip the power unit with  
the attachment you will be using and practice in a flat  
open area at half throttle setting until you are comfort-  
able with the controls.  
8. Warm up engine several minutes at medium  
throttle.  
NOTE: Choke as necessary to start. When engine  
starts, release key immediately. Pull choke gradually  
back until choke is off and engine is running smoothly.  
Do not operate attachment until you become proficient  
with controls.  
NOTE: Allow engine a warm-up period regardless of  
the season. Loading a cold engine will shorten its life.  
Uneven Terrain Operation  
Cold Weather Starting Tips  
1. Use proper oil grade for temperature expected.  
(Refer to engine manual for oil grade.)  
Do not operate on slopes greater than 15  
degrees (27% grade).  
2. Set throttle half way open.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
3. A warm battery has better starting capacity than a  
cold one.  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
4. Use fresh fuel, it is better for starting than leftover  
fuel.

Do not tow a trailer over 200 lbs. Do not tow a  
trailer or add power unit ballast with a combined  
weight over 200 lbs. Too much weight can cause  
loss of traction or stability on a slope. It can also  
reduce parking brake ability. Too much weight will  
shorten the hydraulic system life. Never tow a  
trailer with a grass collection system attached to  
the power unit.  
WEIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEM  
When using weight transfer system, correct  
counterweight must be used to maintain stability.
