•Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
•All drivers and mechanics should seek and obtain
professional and practical instruction. The owner is
responsible for training the users. Such instruction
should emphasize:
- the need for care and concentration when working with
ride-on machines;
- the owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other
people, or property;
- control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not
be regained by the application of the brake or putting
transmission into neutral. Some reasons for loss of
control are: insufficient wheel grip, driving too fast,
inadequate braking, using a machine that is unsuitable
for a task, lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions (especially slopes), and incorrect load
distribution.
SAFETY
This machine meets or exceeds ANSI B71.4-1999 specifications in effect at the time of production.
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can

Other Riding Mower Safety Instructions
•Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious
injury or death. This product is capable of amputating
hands and feet and throwing objects.
•Do not touch the engine, muffler, hydraulic components,
or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon after
it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough
to cause burns.
•Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
•Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury.
•Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic sytem, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting
units and attachments to the ground.
•Know how to stop the engine quickly.
•Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and
required by some local ordinances and insurance
regulations.
•The operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive
on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may
cause loss of control and cause the vehicle to tip or roll,
possible resulting in personal injury or death.

the is manual for instructions.
3.1—ENGINE
Your machine is powered by a 3-cylinder Briggs and Stratton
turbocharged diesel engine which uses diesel fuel. Engine
speed is controlled by means of a throttle lever mounted on
the dash panel.
A separate Engine Manual, prepared by the engine manufacturer is supplied. Study the manual carefully until you are
familiar the maintenance, operation, adjustment and repair of
your equipment. Proper attention to the engine manufacturers
directions will assure maximum service life of the engine and
highest operating efficiency.
I-TRIM
®
3.2—TRACTION DRIVE TRAIN
Power from the engine is transmitted by direct drive to the
variable displacement pump. The pump supplies hydraulic
fluid to the hydraulic motors.
3.3—MOWER DECK DRIVE
Hydraulic power to the deck motors is actuated by electric
switch mounted on the RH control panel. This switch actuates
a solenoid valve in the deck manifold.
3.4—INTERLOCK SWITCHES
There are three safety switches on your I-Trim. They are a
safety precaution, which will allow you to start your mower only
when the traction pedal is in neutral, the deck motor control
switch is in the disengaged position and the operator is seated
on the tractor. If you are able to start your mower with the
pedal or switch in any other position, adjustment of the
switches may be required. After engine is started, it will
continue to run if you leave the seat (as long as the deck
switch is off and the pedal is in neutral).
Never operate the machine if the interlocks are
not operating properly. Accidental startup could
cause severe injury . Refer to T roubleshooting section (Sec 9).

The hour meter (2,Fig. J) indicates the number of hours the
tractor has been operated. It can be used to keep track of
maintenance intervals and the amount of time required to
perform various tasks. The hour meter operates whenever the
ignition key is in the “on” position.
Your I-Trim Mower maybe equipped with a digital hour meter.
This meter will display a signal after 5 hours and every 25
hours thereafter, recommending that you perform maintanncel
and lubricate the mower. (see sec.7). The display will
automaticly reset after 2 additional hours of run time.
4.4—THROTTLE LEVER
I-TRIM
®
Push throttle lever (4, Fig. J) forward to increase engine
speed, pull back to decrease the engine speed.
Position throttle at full throttle or slightly less for optimum
power and deck speed during mowing.
4.5—TRACTION PEDAL
The traction pedal (5, Fig. J) operates the forward and the
reverse direction and speed of the tractor.
Moving forward: push the forward or toe of the pedal down
with the ball of your foot, to increase the forward speed.
Moving backward: push the heel of the pedal down with the
heel of your foot, to increase the reverse speed.
When the traction pedal is released the machine will slow
down and stop. The traction pedal must be in neutral position
before mower will start.
4.6—SPEED CONTROL
The speed control (6, Fig. J) is meant to ease operator
fatigue by holding the forward speed to a constant that
is best suited for the present mowing conditions. The
stop also prevents overloading of the pintle shaft.
Adjust the hex head bolt up or down and lock it with the
lock nut to limit the pedal travel. Make sure the pintle
shaft on the pump is not bottomed-out by watching the
linkage deflection when pedel is all the way down.
4.9—DECK DRIVE CONTROL
By toggling the deck drive control switch ON (9, Fig.
J), an electric solenoid valve is activated which
engages power to the deck motors.
Pushing the switch to the OFF position disengages the
valve. This contrtol must be in the OFF position before
mower will start.
4.10—SEAT POSITION LEVER
The position of the seat is adjusted forward or
backward by actuating the seat lever (10, Fig. J).
Releasing the lever will lock the seat at its present
position.
4.7—DECK LIFT
The Deck Lift valve (7, Fig. J), will lift both wing decks
and rear deck by pulling lever to rear. Pushing lever to
front will lower all deck to the ground. Always lower
decks for mowing and storage.
Do not stand on mowers when in lifted position.
4.8—PARKING BRAKE
A convenient parking brake (8, Fig. J) is located just to
the left side of the operators seat.
Pulling back and over center will engage the parking
brake and moving it forward, as shown, will release it.
See section 6.1 for adjustments.
IMPORTANT
Always make sure brake is released before moving forward and ensure that the brake is engaged
when leaving the mower. Never try to stop the
forward motion of the unit with the parking brake.
17
5—OPERATION
5.1—CHECK LIST
1. Fill the fuel tank with good quality, clean, diesel with a
minimum of 40 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from
forming in the fuel system. Fill tank to 1 inch (25 mm)
below filler neck. Do not overfill.
2. Check oil in the engine crankcase. It should be filled to
the full mark on the dipstick. Refer to Section 1.6 in this
manual for recommend oil viscosity.
3. Check all lubrication points outlined in the “Section 7.14
Lubrication” section of this manual. Check linkage for
traction pedal to the pump for wear or damage.
4. Check tires for proper inflation. Refer to section 1.4 of
this manual.
5. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir. Oil level should be
level with the bottom of the screen when looking into the
fill neck and when unit is sitting on a level surface.
6. Check decks for desired cutting height. To provide a
satisfactory cut, it is essential for all decks be accurately
adjusted to exactly the same height. See 6.9 in the
Adjustments Section.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Under no circumstances should the engine be
started with the operator or bystander standing
next to tractor or cutting units.
1. When starting the engine, the operator must be seated
on the seat, deck control switch must be OFF and
traction pedal must be in neutral (the center position).
6.Operate at speeds which allow you to have complete
control of the tractor and allow you to stop the tractor or
maneuver safely in case of an emergency. It is
recommended that you adjust the Speed Control (6, Fig.
J), to maintain a constant pedal postion/speed and
reduce the operator fatigue.
7.To obtain maximum mower life, the operator must use
discretion when mowing near gravel areas (roadway,
parking areas, cart paths etc.) By operating too close to
overlapping gravel areas, stones maybe picked up by
the mower and ejected under the deck causing wear to
the blades and damage from flying objects.
5.2— STARTING THE ENGINE
1.Sit in operators seat.
2.Place deck control switch in the “OFF” position (9, Fig
J).
3.Place the traction pedal in “Neutral” position (5, Fig J).
4. Engage parking brake (8, Fig J).
5.Insert ignition key, turn clockwise to “run” position and
wait until the glow plug ON light turns off. Turn key
clockwise to “start” and release key when engine starts.
Do not hold key in “start” position for more than 15
seconds or damage to the starter may result. If engine
does not start within this time, release the key and wait
for a few minutes before trying again.
5.3—DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Position throttle at full throttle or slightly less for optimum
power and deck speed.
2. The operator should practice mowing in an open clear
area, to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of
the tractor.
3. Never operate the mowers when they are in the up
position because of the dangers of flying objects and
exposed blades.
4. Plan your cutting pattern to avoid any unnecessary stops
or sharp, frequent turns. Study the area to determine the
best mowing procedure. Consider the height of the grass
and the type of terrain (level, hilly, or rough). Each
condition will require certain adjustments or precautions.
5. Before leaving the mower, always lower deck mowers
so that when exiting the mower and stepping on the nonskid pads of the wing mowers, it will not put excessive
strain on the lift mechanism.
18
2. Release parking brake (8, Fig. J).
3. Moving forward: Push the toe of the traction pedal forward
with the ball of your foot, to increase the forward speed .
4. Moving backward: Push the heel of the traction pedal in
with the heel of your foot, to increase the reverse speed.
5. To return traction pedal to neutral, rock pedal with foot until
pedal stops. The pedal will stay in neutral when you
remove your foot.
T o avoid possible loss of control and/or serious bodily injury, avoid abrupt chages in
the tration pedal position. Reduce speed on
slopes, rough terrain, and in sharp turns to
prevent tipping or loss of control.
I-TRIM
®
5.4—MOWING OPERATION
1. Check the turf area for debris that would cause
damage to the decks. Never operate the decks when they
are in the UP position because of the danagers of flying
objects and exposed blades.
2. When cutting large areas, the most satisfactory method is
to first cut the outer area and then mow clockwise toward
the center. The next time you cut, it is advised that you
mow in the opposite direction to prevent grass matting.
3. Cutting speeds are governed by conditions of turf, type of
terrain and opstacles to be encountered. Operate tractor at
slow speeds when turning.
5.5—MOWING
1. Stop tractor, by releasing the traction pedal, then slowly
lower the mower units (5, Fig.J) and (7, Fig. J).
Dropping mower decks abruptly could damage
them. Always check for bystanders before lowering.
1. When operating on hillsides or slopes, maintain full
engine speed, but let up on the traction pedal as power
requirements increase. This will maintain the
performance necessary.
2. It is best to mow along the side of the hill, starting at the
bottom and working upwards. This allows the machine to
negotiate the slope without mowing in a downhill
direction.
3. It is essential for the correct tire pressure to be
established for maximum traction and hillside holding.
5.7—PUSHING OR TOWING
INSTRUCTIONS
The I-Trim should not be pushed or towed with the engine not
running. If needed, the I-Trim can be pushed or towed at slow
speeds for very short distances without starting the engine.
Do not exceed 2 mph while pushing or towing.
A screw-adjustable valve is located on the underside of the
pump for towing. Note: Do not exceed 2 mph while pushing or
towing. Loosen the lock nut and turn the screw CCW to
release pressure. After towing, tighten the screw by turning
CW and lock into place with the locknut.
2. Engage deck control switch (9, Fig. J) to the ON position.
3. Depress traction pedal to the desired speed (sections
4.6 and 4.7). Deck speed is constant and ground speed is
variable with the traction pedal. Do not try to regulate
ground speed with engine throttle (section 4.5).
5.6—HILLSIDE OPERATION
The I-Trim has been designed for good traction and stability
under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must still be
used during slope operation, especially when the grass is wet.
Wet grass limits traction and steering control.
In order to minimize the possibility of tipping, the least dangerous method of operating on hills and terraces is to travel
horizontally to the hill. It is also advisable to avoid any unnecessary turns while operating on hills. Use extreme caution and
travel at reduce speeds.
19
5.8—AFTER OPERATION
6—ADJUSTMENTS
1. Clean the entire mower after use. Remove loose grass
clippings and caked grass to prevent clogging the vented
areas, lubrication points, and corroding parts.
2. The engine is water cooled. Do not permit dirt or grass
clippings to accumulate on the air intake screen, engine
or radiator/oil cooler to prevent serious heat damage to
the engine,or hydraulic pump.
3. If fan blades become damaged, replace the fan.
5.9—CLEANING RADIATOR AND OIL
COOLER
1. If grass clippings become trapped in radiator and oil
cooler, use compressed air from fan side to blow them out.
The screenbox can tilted back for cleaning by loosening
quick-latches (Sec. 2.10 or Fig. H below ).
2. If grass clippings become trapped between radiator and
oil cooler, the oil cooler can be tilted back for cleaning
(Fig M). Be careful not to damage the fins on the
radiator and oil cooler during cleaning.
Read each instruction completely and, make sure you understand it before making any adjustments. Follow all the safety
precautions.
To avoid possible serious injury, before making
any adjustments or performing maintenance, engage parking brake, place all tractor controls in
neutral, lower decks to the ground, turn ignition
switch “off” and remove key.
6.1--TRACTION PEDAL ADJUSTMENTS
The traction pedal (1, Fig.M) is equipped with a safety switch
(2, Fig. M) and a neutral centering device. The switch prevents
the engine from starting when the pedal is positioned in
reverse or forward. The centering device locates neutral
positioning of the pump.
1. Prior to adjusting for creep, elevate the wheels off the
ground and support the vehicle with jack stands. Any
adjustments should be done while the hydraulic oil is
warm.
FIGURE L
2. To adjust the creep of the drive wheels, loosen the
fastener attaching the clevis to the control arm. Rotate the
clevis and re-atach to achieve neutral.
3. Once the traction pedal has been adjusted, the safety
switch (2, Fig. M) should not have to be re-adjusted.
Check neutral switch operation before use. If needed,
adjust the switch so that the engine cannot be started
unless the pedal is in the neutral position.
6.2—PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The parking brake should be set so that it holds the tractor
securely. The parking brake must be released before the
traction pedal is engaged.
1. Adjust the brake by loosening set screw in the brake knob
and turning knob clockwise to tighten, or counterclockwise
to loosen, then retighten set screw.
2. After making any adjustment check brake on flat ground, so
that the tractor will not move with brake engaged.
3. Further testing by putting tractor on a hill, leaving the engine
on and engaging park brake. and then test with the engine
off.

To avoid possible serious bodily injury, before
performing and adjustments, maintenance, or lubrication, place all controls in “neutral”, lower the
mowers to the ground engage parking brake, turn
ignition switch off and remove key.
7.1—GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The long trouble free life of your machine depends on the
maintenance it receives. Set-up a maintenance program for
your I-Trim to cover the following points:
Keep tractor and decks clean
.
Keep all moving parts properly lubricated (sec. 7.14).
Keep all parts properly adjusted.
Inspect for loose, worn or damaged parts.
Keep shields in place at all times.
Keep tires properly inflated.
7.3—BATTERY
1. Make certain the ignition switch is in the “off” position and
the keys have been removed.
2. Refer to section 1.4 in this manual for battery
specifications.
Always wear protective glasses or goggles and
protective clothing when working with batteries.
Always connect the “ground” (black) cable last
and remove it first whenever performing any
maintenance.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gases.
Keep any device, which may cause sparks or
flames away from the battery to prevent explosions.
Read and follow the battery manufacture’s instructions on safety, maintenance and installation procedures.
If your inspection reveals worn or damaged parts replace
these parts before operating machine or before actual
breakdown occurs.
To avoid injury from hot, high-pressure oil, never
disconnect hydraulic hoses with attachments in
up position. Never rub hands across tubes, hoses
or fittings to check for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force
to penetrate the skin.
7.2—ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBL Y
Use the illustrations in the parts catalog as reference for
disassembly and assembly of components. Always maintain
relative position of parts when disassembling. Clean and
lubricate individual parts and components as required.
3. When the battery is being installed or removed make
sure that the positive and negative terminals do not
come in contact with metal tractor parts at the same time
or severe damage may result.
4. Battery connections must be kept clean and tight at all
times. Loose cables will cause eventual battery failure.
Keep terminal covers in place.
5. Use soap and water to clean the battery as required.
Care must be taken to prevent soap and water from
getting inside battery.
6. Clean the terminal contact surfaces with a battery
terminal brush or steel wool.
7. Tighten cables securely to battery terminals.
8. Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or chassis lubricant
to terminals and cable ends after assembly to prevent
corrosion.

system.
7.9—HYDRAULIC HOSES
To avoid serious bodily injury , always lower mowers to the ground, place all controls in neutral
and shut off engine before inspecting hydraulic
lines or hoses. Never run hands across tubes,
hoses or fittings to check for leaks.
Hydraulic hose and tube lines should be inspected every week
to check for cuts, loose connections, kinks and wear.
Be sure tubes and hoses do not come in contact withother
frame parts which could cause abrasive wear. Always replace
worn hoses or tubes before operating machine.
1. Assemble nut, sleeves and tube to fitting body with
minimum torque (finger tight) until flare contacts
seat on fitting body.
2. For tightening reference, mark a line lengthwise on both
the nut and adapter fitting with a marker.
3. Using a wrench, rotate the nut to tighten. Turn the nut the
amount shown in the chart below. The line will show which
fitting have been tightened and how much.
4. On hoses with “o-ring” fittings, make sure o-rings are
clean and hose fittings are properly seated by hand before
wrench tightening.
5. Hold the fixed portion of the hose coupling with one
wrench; use a second wrench to tighten or loosen the hose
nut. This will prevent damage to the fitting seal. When
