and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceedall industry standards for safety.

Do not operate this machine unless you have been trained. Reading and understanding this operator’s manual is a way to train yourself.

Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you areresponsible for your safety and that of those aroundyou.

Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

Slope Operation

Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep where you do not have adequate wheel traction (and control) can cause sliding, loss of steering, control, and possible rollover. You should not operate ona slope greater than a 5.4 foot rise over a 20 foot length (15 degrees).

Alwaysmow across slopes,not up and down(to maintain traction on the wheels) and avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes. Reduce speed and use extreme caution on ALL slopes.

The operator’s manual contains important safetyinformation you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.

Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your equipment investment.

Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found onthe following pages.Also completely read theOperation section.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them anywhere nearthe area of operation.Children are often attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter the area where you are mowing, have another responsible adult watch them.

Also, note that the surface condition you are on can greatly impact your ability to safely operate this machine. Operating on wet or slippery slopes cancause sliding and loss of steering and control. Do not operate on slopes that are slippery, wet, or have soft soil conditions.

If you feel unsure about operating the unit on a slope, don’t do it. It’s not worth the risk.

Thrown Objects

This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick up and throw debristhat could seriously injure a bystander. Be sure to clean up the area to be mowed and remove objects thatcould be thrown by the blade BEFORE you start mowing.

Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or discharge guard (deflector) in place.

Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave.

Moving Parts

Not for

Reproduction

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you stay in the operator zone (stay seated in the seat), and follow the safety rules in this operator’s manual, the unit is safe to operate.

The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the unit while it is running! Keep safety devices (guards, shields, and switches) in place and working.

To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an operator-present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock system tests found in this manual.

Retaining Walls, Drop-Offs and Water

Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are a common hazard. Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of clearance around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk behind mower or string trimmer. Wheels dropping overretaining walls, edges, ditches, embankments, or into water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.

Overhead Obstacles

Roll Bar Use

Keep the roll bar in the raised position and fasten the seat belt. There is no roll over protection when the roll bar is down! Do not jump off if the mower tips (it is safer to be secured by the seat belt with the roll bar raised.)

Lower the roll bar only when necessary (such as to temporarily clear a low overhanging obstacle) and NEVER remove it. Do NOT use the seat belt when the roll bar is down. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.

Check foroverhead clearances before driving under anyobjects. Do not allow the roll bar to contact low overhanging obstacles such as tree branches and guide wires.

Fuel and Maintenance

Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine, and remove the key before doing any cleaning, refueling, or servicing.

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable.Do not smoke while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3 minutes prior to adding fuel.

Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage, or any other enclosed area that is not well ventilated. Gasoline spills should be cleaned up promptly and before operation begins.

learning to gain a smooth and efficient control of the rider’s forward,reverse, andturning movements will take some practice.

Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown and becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels, and steers — before you begin mowing —is absolutely essential to getting the most out of the Zero Turn rider.

Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn — one with plenty of room tomaneuver. (Clearthe area of objects,people and animals before you begin.) Operate the unit at mid-throttle during this practice session(ALWAYS operate atfull throttle when mowing), and turn slowlyto prevent tire slippage and damage to your lawn.

We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure to the

right, and thenadvance through the forward, reverse, and turning maneuvers.

You must release the parking brake prior to moving the control levers inward.

Smooth Travel

The lever controls of the Zero Turn rider are responsive. The BEST method of handling the ground speed control levers

is in three steps — as shown in Figure 5.

Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.

NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this manual.

FIRST place your hands onto the levers as shown. SECOND, to go forward gradually push the levers forward with

your palms. THIRD, to speed up move the levers farther forward. To slow

down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral.

Basic Driving

Forward Travel Practice

Reverse Travel Practice

LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down and repeat.

NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes practice.

Practice Turning Around A Corner

Reproduction

While traveling forward allowone handle to gradually returnback toward neutral. Repeat several times.

NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.

Practice Turning in Place

To turn in place, “Zero Turn,” gradually move one ground speed control lever forward fromneutral and one lever back from neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or back, changes the “pivot point” you turn on.

Advanced Driving

Execuring an End-Of-Row Zero Turn

Your Zero Turn Rider’s unique ability to turn in place allows you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than having to stop and Y-turn before starting a new row.

For example, to execute a left end-of row zero turn:

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

2. Move the RIGHT ground speedcontrol lever forward slightly while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever back to center and then slightly back from center.

3. Begin mowing forward again.

This technique turnsthe rider LEFT andslightly overlaps the row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut missed grass.

As you become more familiar and experienced with operating the Zero Turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that will make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.

Remember, the more you practice, the better your control of the Zero Turn will be!

Mowing

1. Engage the parking brake. Make sure that the PTO switch is disengaged, the ground speed control levers are locked in the NEUTRAL position and the operator is in the seat.

2. Start the engine. See Starting the Engine.

3. Set the mower cutting height.

4. Set the throttle to FULL.

5. Engage the PTO by pulling up on the PTO switch.

6. Begin mowing.

Mowing Recommendations

16 ferrisindustries.com

Several factors can affect how well your machine cuts grass, Following proper mowing recommendations can improve the performance and life of your machine.

Height of Grass

Not for

Reproduction

Often cutting heightis a matter of personalpreference. Typically, you should mow the grass when it is between three and five inches high. The proper cutting height range for a specific lawn will depend upon several factors, including thetype of grass, the amount of rainfall, the prevailing temperature, and the lawn’s overall condition.

Cutting the grasstoo short causes weak, thingrass plants, which are easily damaged by dry periods and pests. Cutting too short is often more damaging than allowing the grass to be slightly higher.

Letting grass grow a bit longer—especially when it is hot and dry—reduces heat build-up, preserves needed moisture and protects the grass from heat damage and other problems. However, allowing grassto grow too high cancause thin turf and additional problems.

Cutting off toomuch at one time shocks the plant’sgrowth system and weakens the grass plants. A good rule of thumb is the

1/3 rule: to cut no more than one third of the grass height, and never more than 1 inch at a time.

When and How Often to Mow

The time of day and condition of the grass greatly affect the results you’llget when mowing. For thebest results, follow these guidelines:

• Mow when the grass is between three and five inches high.

• Mow with sharp blades. Short clippings of grass one inch or shorter decompose more quickly than longer blades. Sharp mower blades cut grass cleanly and efficiently, preventing frayed edges which harm the grass.

• Mow at time of day when the grass is cool and dry. Late afternoon or earlyevening often providethese ideal mowing conditions.

• Avoidmowing after rain oreven heavy dew, and never mulch when the grass is wet (moist grass does not mulch well, and clumps beneath the mower deck).

The amount of grass you are able to cut in one pass is also effected by the type of mowing system you are using (for example, broadcasting with side discharge decks can process a much larger volume of grass than mulching does).

Tall grass requires incremental cutting. For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height at maximum for the first pass (A, Figure 12), and then reset it to the desired height and mow a second (B) or third time.

Don’t cover the grass surface with a heavy layer of clippings. Consider using agrass collection system andstarting a compost pile.

Mowing Patterns

Always start mowing on a smooth, level area. The size and type of area to be mowed will determine the best

mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings, and conditions such as slopes and grades must also be considered.

• Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly.

• Where possible, change patterns occasionally to eliminate matting, graining or a corrugated appearance.

• For a truly professional cut, mow across the lawn in one direction, then re-cut the lawn by mowing perpendicular to the previous cut.

NOTE: Always operate the engine at FULL THROTTLE when mowing.

If you hear the engine slowing down, you are mowing too fast—using a slower ground speed will improve the cutting efficiency of the blades and prevents many common cutting problems. Use an appropriate ground speed for the thickness and height of the grass you are cutting (3rd gear or slower for manual gear models). If you hear the engine slowing down you are mowing too fast, use a slower ground speed.

Not for

Reproduction

Where possible, make one or two passes around the outside of the area discharging the grass INTO the lawn to keep the cut grass off fences and walks.

Mulching consists of a mower deck which cuts and re-cuts clippings into tiny particles and which then blows them down INTO the lawn. These tiny particles decompose rapidly into by-productsyour lawncan use. UNDERPROPER CONDITIONS, your mulching mower will virtually eliminate noticeable clippings on the lawn surface.

NOTE: When mulching under heavy cutting conditions, a rumbling sound may be present and is normal.

Mulching Requires EXCELLENT Mowing Conditions: Mulching mowers cannot function properly if the grass is wet, or

if the grass is simply to high to cut. Even more than normal mowing, mulching requires that the grass be dry and the appropriate amount is cut.

Do not use the mower as a mulching mower during the first two or three mowings in the spring. The long grass blades, quick growth, and often wetter conditions are more suitable for broadcasting (side-discharging) or grass bagging operation.

Engine Speed & Ground Speed for Mulching: Use full engine throttle matched with a slow ground speed so

that clippings will be finely cut. Ground speed while mulching should be HALF of the speed that would be used when broadcasting (side discharging) under similar conditions. Since mulching requires more horsepower than broadcasting, using a slower ground speed is vitally important for proper mulching operation.

The remainder of the mowing should be done in the opposite direction so that the clippings are dispersed OUT onto the area of lawn previously cut.

Mowing Methods

Broadcast Mowing

Broadcasting, orside-discharging, disperses fine clippings evenly over the entire lawn. Many golf courses use this method. Your mower hasa deep dish deck to allow freer circulation of clippings so they are broadcast evenly over the lawn.

Engine Speed & Ground Speed for Broadcasting: Always operate the engine at full throttle when mowing. If you

hear the engine slowing down, you are mowing too fast—using a slower ground speed will improve the cutting efficiency of the blades and prevents many common cutting problems.

ALWAYS use an appropriate ground speed for the thickness and height of the grass you are cutting (3rd gear or slower for manual gear models). If you hear the engine slowing down you are mowing too fast, use a slower ground speed.

How Much Grass to Cut Off When Broadcasting: Mow when the grass is 3-5 inches long. Do not cut the grass

shorter than 2 to 2-1/2 inches. Do not cut off more that 1 inch of grass in a single pass.

How Much Grass to Mulch: The best mulching action typically results from cutting only the

top ½ inch to 3/4 inch of grass blade. This provides short clippings which decompose properly (much more quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height and ground speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with a high cutting height and using progressively lower settings until you find a cutting height that is matched to your mowing conditions and preferences.

Rear Suspension Adjustment

The shock assembly can be adjusted in two ways to allow the operator to customize the ride according to operator’s weight and/or operating conditions. You have the option of adjusting the spring pre-load and/or the upper mounting position.

Items to consider before adjusting the suspension.

• Less spring pre-load should be used with light weight operators, which will provide a softer, more cushioned ride.

• More spring pre-load or upper mounting position #2 should be used with heavy weight operators, or when a rear-mount grass bagger system is installed, which will provide a stiffer, more rigid ride.

To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with jackstands. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling.

3. Remove the rear drive tires.

WARNING

Use two hands when adjusting the shock springs. This will prevent the wrench from slipping while pressure is applied.

4. See Figure 52. Using the supplied spanner wrench (p/n

5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the wrench in place with one hand, turncounter-clockwise to increase thepre-load, turn CLOCKWISEto decrease thepre-load. Make sureboth shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load.

5. Reinstall the rear drive tires. Torque the lug bolts to 85-95 ft/lbs. (115-129Nm). Removethe jackstands fromunder the machine.

NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat on the right-hand side of the machine.

To Adjust the Upper Mounting Position:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with jackstands. The jackstands must under the bumper. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling.

Battery Maintenance

Models with Center Mounted Hydraulic Tank

This unit is equipped with a maintenance-free BCIU1 battery.

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery.

• Be careful when handling the battery.

• Avoid spilling electrolyte.

• Keep flames and sparks away from the battery.

• When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.

Cleaning the Battery and Cables

1. Remove the hydraulic oil reservoir mounting hardware (A, Figure 53) and movethe reservoir (B) forward to expose the battery.

2. Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative [-] cable first (C).

3. Clean thebattery terminals and cable ends with a wirebrush until shiny.

Battery Service

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the gasses coming fromit are highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well during charging.

Checking Battery Voltage

A voltmetercan be used to determine condition of battery. When engine is off, the voltmeter shows battery voltage, which should be 12 volts. When engine is running,the voltmeter showsvoltage of charging circuit which normally is 13 to 14 volts.

A dead battery or onetoo weak to start theengine may not mean the battery needs to be replaced. For example, it may mean that the alternator is not charging the battery properly. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.

Charging a Completely Discharged Battery

1. Be aware of all the safety precautions you should observe during the charging operation. If you are unfamiliar with the use of a battery charger and hydrometer, have the battery serviced by your dealer.

2. Add distilled water sufficient to cover the plate (fill to the proper level near the end of the charge). If the battery is extremelycold, allow it to warm before addingwater because the water level will rise as it warms. Also, an extremely cold battery will not accept a normal charge until it becomes warm.

3. Always unplug or turn the charger off before attaching or removing the clamp connections.

4. Carefully attach the clamps to the battery in proper polarity (usually red to [+] positive and black to [-] negative).

5. Whilecharging, periodically measure the temperature of the electrolyte. If the temperature exceeds 125° F (51.6° C), or if violent gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs, the charging rate must be reduced or temporarily halted to prevent battery damage.

6. Chargethe battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). The best method of making certain a battery is fully charged, but not over charged, is to measure the specific gravity of a cell once per hour. The battery is fully charged when the cells are gassing freely at low charging rate and less than 0.003 change in specific gravity occurs over a three hour period.

Jump Starting With Auxiliary (Booster) Battery

Not for

Reproduction

Jump starting is not recommended. However, if it must be done, follow these directions. Both booster and dis-charged batteries should be treated carefully when using jumper cables. Follow the steps below EXACTLY, being careful not to cause sparks. Refer to Figure 54.

WARNING

For your personal safety, use extreme care when jump starting. Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark – battery action generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Do not allow battery acid to contact skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. Batteries contain a sulfuric acid solution which can cause serious personal injury or property damage.

To avoid engine damage, do not disconnect battery while engine is running.Be sure terminal connectionsare tight before starting.

5. Connect the other end of same cable to same post marked positive (+) on booster battery.

6. Connect the second cable negative (-) to other post of booster battery.

7. Make final connection on engine block of stalled vehicle away from battery. Do not lean over batteries.

8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Wait a fewminutes, then attempt to start the engineof the vehicle with the discharged battery.

9. If the vehicle does not start after cranking for thirty seconds, STOPPROCEDURE. Morethan thirty seconds seldomstarts the engine unless some mechanical adjustment is made.

10. After starting, allow the engine to return to idle speed. Remove the cable connection at the engine or frame. Then remove the other end of the same cable from the booster battery.

11. Remove the other cable by disconnecting at the discharged battery first and then disconnect the opposite end from the booster battery.

12. Discard the damp cloths that were placed over the battery vent caps.

This hook-up is for negative grounded vehicles.

DescriptionCallout

To Starter SwitchA Starting Vehicle BatteryB To GroundC Jumper CableD Discharged Vehicle BatteryE Engine BlockF

Make sure vehicles do not touch.

1. Both batteries must be of the same voltage.

2. Position the vehicle with the booster battery adjacent to the vehicle with the discharged battery so that booster cables can be connected easily to the batteries in both vehicles. Make certain vehicles do not touch each other.

3. Wear safety glassesand shield eyesand face frombatteries at all times. Be sure vent caps are tight. Place damp cloth over vent caps on both batteries.

4. Connect positive (+) cable to positive post of discharged battery (wired to starter or solenoid).

WARNING

Any procedure other than the preceding could result in: (a) personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the

battery vents, (b) personal injury or propertydamage due to battery explosion, (c) damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or

of the immobilized vehicle. Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle having a frozen battery

because the battery mayrupture or explode. If a frozen battery is suspected, examine all fill vents on the battery. If ice can be seen or if the electrolyte fluid cannot be seen, do not attempt to start with jumper cables as long as the battery remains frozen.

†Power Ratings: All power levels are stated gross horsepower per SAE J2723 as rated by Kawasaki and tested per the SAE J1995 test standard. The gross power curves and more information can be viewed at www.kawasaki-criticalpower.com.

*Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions andengine-to-engine variability. Giventhe wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gas engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature,humidity,altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturingand capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

You must properly service and maintain your Ferris product as described in the operator’s manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense. The Ferris equipment, including any defective part covered by this limited warranty, must be returned to an authorized Ferris dealer within the warranty period for warranty service.

Limited Warranty - The limited warranty, set forth below, is a written guarantee by Ferris, during the warranty period, to repair or replace parts which have a substantial defect in materials or workmanship.
