SAFETY
Slope Operation
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. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on
it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees maximum), •
not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other •
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not •
have to stop while on the slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If •
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Keep movement on the slopes slow and gradual. •
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause machine to roll over.
Use extra care while operating machine with grass •
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine.
Do not use on steep slopes.•
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot •
on the ground.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or •
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge
caves in.

Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously
variable using the two steering controls. The steering
controls can be moved forward or backward about
a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral
position, which is locked if the steering controls are
moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the
machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and
the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero
turning is determined by which steering control is
moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left
steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns
to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.

Refueling
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just
behind the seat. The tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.4
liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and
keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical
Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not
allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage
to the engine and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
WARNING!
Gasoline is highly ammable.
Observe caution and ll the tank
outdoors (see the safety instruction).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system,
become very hot during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to
cool at least two (2) minutes before
refueling

Fuel tanks
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions
for additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

OPERATION
Read the “Safety Instructions” section and the
following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine.
Training
Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than
typical riding mowers due to their unique steering
capabilities.
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety
prior to attempting to move the mower under its own
power. Additionally, we suggest when rst operating
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced
ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the
furthest forward or reverse positions during initial
operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with
controls. We also suggest rst time users, or new
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with
the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as
concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate
on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with
mower controls and zero turning capability, they may
damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.
Steering
To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements
is effected by the movement of the control lever(s)
on each side of mower. The left control lever controls
the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right
wheel.
to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on
control levers to the neutral position and mower should
stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this
will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push
forward on control levers to the neutral position and
mower should stop moving.
To turn to the right
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever
back towards the neutral position while maintaining the
position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of
the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever
back towards the neutral position while maintaining
the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation
of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, rst pull both
control levers back until the mower stops or slows
dramatically.
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward
position and the other in the reverse position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When control levers are in the reverse position
they return to neutral when released. This may
cause the mower to suddenly stop.
First time users should push mower (see “Moving by
Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, at area,
without other people or vehicles or obstacles nearby.
To move unit under its own power, the operator must
be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting”
in “Operation” section), adjust engine speed to idle,
disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at
this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as
the control levers have not been moved forward or
backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both
control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower

Mowing Tips
Observe and ag rocks and other xed objects to •
avoid collisions.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until •
the desired mowing result is attained. The average
lawn should be cut to 2½" (64 mm) during the
cool season and over 3" (76 mm) during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 •
cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the
rst cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height.
The mowing result will be best with a high engine •
speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed
(the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not
too long and dense, the driving speed can be
increased without negatively affecting the mowing
result.
The nest lawns are obtained by mowing often. •
The lawn becomes more even and the grass
clippings more evenly distributed over the mown
area. The total time taken is not increased as a
higher operating speed can be used without poor
mowing results.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is •
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn,
clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under
the cowling.
Hose the mower deck underside with water after •
each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall
be raised into the transport position. Make sure the
mower is cooled and the engine is off.
Use compressed air to clean top surface of the •
deck. Avoid ooding water on top surface, engine
and electrical components.
When the mulching kit is used, it is important that •
the mowing interval is frequent.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other
objects that can be thrown out by the
blades.
8011-603a

Never drive the rider on terrain that
slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow
slopes up and down, never side

Lubricating the Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move
the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Ret the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it
vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil
begins to escape from the bottom.
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that
it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to
hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not
succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.

Engine Oil
Changing the Engine Oil
Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more
frequently under severe conditions). Rell with service
class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specied in the
Viscosity Grades table.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil
will ow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Make sure the engine is level when lling, checking or
changing the oil.
Change the oil as follows:
1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, •
clean the area around the oil ll cap/dipstick
before removing it.
2. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil ll •
cap/dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for
complete drainage.
3. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is •
tightened to 10 ft. lb. (13.6 Nm) torque.
4. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper •
type, to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer
to the section on Oil Type. Always check the
level with the dipstick before adding more oil.
5. Reinstall the oil ll cap/dipstick and tighten •
securely.
6. Start the engine. Run it for a few seconds •
and recheck the oil level.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained directly after stopping the
engine. Allow the engine to cool to a
safe temperature rst.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and must
not be disposed of on the ground or in nature;
it should always be disposed of at a workshop
or appropriate disposal location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water
in case of spills.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain the proper oil level in the
crankcase. Never operate the engine with the
oil level below the “ADD” mark or over the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Checking Oil Level
The importance of checking and maintaining
the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be
overemphasized.
Check oil before each use as follows:
Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and 1.
cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil
pan.
To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, 2.
clean the area around the dipstick before
removing it.
Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. 3.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the
cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto
the tube.
Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. 4.
The oil level should be up to, but not over, the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ
or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher oil or extending oil change intervals
longer than recommended can cause engine
damage.
Temperature range expected before next oil change
* Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is
acceptable, up to 40 oF (+4 oC).
** Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme
cold below -10
o
F (-23 oC).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Synthetic oils meeting the listed classications
may be used with oil changes performed
at the recommended intervals. However to
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least
50 hours using standard petroleum based oil
before switching to synthetic oil.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identies the API
service class and SAE viscosity grade.

STORAGE
Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, the machine should
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for
longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long
periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky
residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt
engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to
the sticky residues that can occur during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specied by
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for
at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it
reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and
the carburetor if you have added stabilizer
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel vapor
can come in contact with open
ames, sparks, or a pilot light such
as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes
drier, etc. Handle the fuel with care.
It is very ammable and can cause
serious personal injury and property
damage. Drain the fuel into an
approved container outdoors and
far away from open ame. Never
use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under
the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint
and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the
mower deck to avoid corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have
become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start
the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the
carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over
the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and
then ret the spark plug.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct
cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover
it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its
best the following season.
