CONTROLS

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.

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.

8011-524

Fuel tanks

IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING! Gasoline is highly ﬂ ammable.

Observe caution and ﬁ 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

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.

English-22

WARNING! Fill to bottom of ﬁ ller neck. Do

not overﬁ ll. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open ﬂ ame.

CONTROLS

Choke control

The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.

For cold starts, pull the control out to its extent.

Throttle control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out (see Engaging the Mower Deck).

In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forward or back respectively.

Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plugs.

USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging.

Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck

The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 17 different cutting height positions.

The cutting height is set by placing a peg in the hole for the desired cutting height and the peg is then locked on the inside (hidden in illustration) with the supplied pin.

Pull the lever backward to the locked •

position to engage the transport position. The deck is then fully raised.

To lower, squeeze the lock handle up to the •

lifting lever while moving the lever forward. When the lever meets the set peg, the desired height is set.

The lifting lever can also be used to •

temporarily adjust the cutting height, such as when passing over a minor bump in the lawn.

OPERATION

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 ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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.

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, ﬁ 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, ﬂ at area, without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In order 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 to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral position and mower should

OPERATION

Mowing Tips

• Observe and ﬂ ag rocks and other ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 ﬂ 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

Mowing pattern

WARNING! Never drive the rider on terrain

that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid sudden directional changes.

English-34English-34

OPERATION

Stopping the Engine

Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it, if it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling.

1. Disengage the mower deck by depressing the blade switch.

2. Raise the mower deck by pulling the lifting lever backward to the transport position.

3. When the machine is standing still, activate the parking brake by pulling the lever backward.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Washing

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.

Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and electrical components with water.

Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool before washing.

Use protective glasses when cleaning and washing.

Caster Wheels

Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels rotate freely. If not, take the unit to your dealer for service.

Foam ﬁ lled tires or solid tires will void the warranty.

Removal and installation of caster wheel

Remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the wheel out of the fork and take care of the

sleeve. Install in reverse order. Tighten caster bolt.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam

ﬁ ll material to the tires. Excessive loads created by foam ﬁ lled tires will cause premature failures.

8011-673

General

Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it must be ﬁ lled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulphide grease. For daily use, the machine shall be lubricated twice weekly. Wipe away excess grease after lubrication. It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen,

attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts.

English-50

LUBRICATION

Lubricating the Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Reﬁ t 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.

Shaft Bushings and Linkage

Lubricate the bearing of the shafts and linkage for brake system and steering with oil spray or oil can.

Lubricating with the Lubrication Schedule

Hydraulic System, Oil Level

The hydraulic oil and ﬁ lter must be replaced every 300 hours, and at least once a year. Contact an authorized service workshop.

Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank daily. The level shall be about ¾"-1" (19 - 25 mm) below the top of the tank.

Check connections, hoses, and tubes for damage or leaks. Replace or repair if doubtful.

Changing Oil and Filters

Oil and ﬁ lter changes for the hydraulic system should be carried out by an authorized service workshop due to the risk of impurities enter the system.

Checking the hydraulic oil

WARNING! If a leak is suspected, use a

piece of cardboard or wood, NOT your hands, to check for leaks. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufﬁ cient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

8011-565

Driver’s Seat

Tip the seat. Lubricate the front hinges using an oil can. Lubricate the lengthways adjustment mechanism with

the oil can. Lubricate the lengthways adjustment runners with the

oil can.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication and remove

excess lubricant so that is does not come into contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces.

If injured by escaping ﬂ uid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

LUBRICATION

Engine Oil Changing the Engine Oil

Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Reﬁ ll with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as speciﬁ ed in the Viscosity Grades table.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will ﬂ ow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when ﬁ 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 ﬁ ll cap/dipstick before removing it.

2. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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.

English-52

LUBRICATION

Checking the 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:

1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan.

2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.

3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube.

4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to Oil Type, page . Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

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.

LUBRICATION

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Synthetic oils meeting the listed

classiﬁ cations 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 identiﬁ es the API service class and SAE viscosity grade.

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

Viscosity grades table

F (-23 oC).

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 speciﬁ ed 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 ﬂ 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 ﬂ ammable and can cause serious personal injury and property damage. Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors and far away from open ﬂ ame. Never use gasoline for cleaning. Use a degreaser and warm water instead.

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 reﬁ t 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.
