SAFETY
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, refuel
such equipment with a portable container, rather than from
a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
• If leaks arise in fuel system, the engine must not be started
until problem has been resolved.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, as the heat from the engine and the sun
may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses for
maintenance work.
General Maintenance
• Never use the machine
indoors or in spaces lacking
proper ventilation. The
exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an
odorless and poisonous
lethal gas.
• Make sure that the
equipment is in good condition and that all nuts and bolts,
especially those fastening the blade attachments, are
properly tightened and torqued.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as
necessary.
• Never interfere with the intended function of a safety device
or reduce the protection provided by a safety device.
Check their proper operation regularly. NEVER operate
a machine with a safety device that does not function
properly.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes.
Wrap the blades or use protective gloves when handling
them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as
required.
• Never work with the starter circuit if there is spilled fuel.
• Ensure that the fuel filler cap is mounted tightly and no
flammable substances are stored in an open vessel.
• Sparking can occur when working with the battery and the
heavy cables of the starter circuit. This can cause battery
explosion, fire or eye injury.
Sparking will not occur
after the grounding cable
(normally negative, black) is
removed from the battery.
• Disconnect the grounding
cable from the battery first
and reconnect it last.
• Do not make a bridge short
circuit across the starter
relay to run the starter.
• Be very careful when handling battery acid. Acid on skin
can cause serious corrosive burns. If you spill battery acid
on your skin, rinse immediately with water.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a doctor
immediately.
• Be careful when servicing
the battery. Explosive gases
form in the battery. Never
perform maintenance on the
battery when smoking or
near open flames or sparks.
The battery can explode
and cause serious injury or
damage.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by the
manufacturer. Only use approved repair parts for the
machine.
WARNING! The engine must not be started when
the driver’s floor plate or any protective plate for the mower
deck’s drive belt is removed.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard
frequently and replace with manufacturer’s recommended
parts when necessary.
• Do not change the settings of governors and avoid running
the engine with overly high engine speeds. If you run the
engine too fast, machine components could be damaged.
• To reduce the risk of fire, keep machine free of grass,
leaves or other debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spills and
remove any fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to cool
before storing.
• Stop to inspect the equipment if you run over or into
anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
WARNING! The battery contains lead and lead
compounds, chemicals that are considered to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive system
damage. Wash your hands after handling the battery.

CONTROLS
Steering 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.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing
still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls outward,
they can be adjusted.
WARNING! The machine can turn very rapidly if one
steering control is moved much further forward than the
other.
Park Brake
The park brake is integrated with the steering control levers.
Move the levers outward from the neutral position to engage
the park brake.
To release the park brake, rotate both steering control levers
inwards to the neutral position. Do not attempt to operate the
unit without both levers being inwards out of the engaged
position or machine components could be damaged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must stand
absolutely still when applying the park brake. Always set
the park brake before dismounting. Release the park brake
before moving the mower.
