If the machine can back up the slope without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme caution. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROvED OPERATION.

Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on 2. slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be especially cautious when changing directions on slopes.

Page 9

Section 2

To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop 3. smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. Use caution when operating the mower on an incline with the optional grass catcher installed.

When using any attachment, never direct the 4. discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

Before attempting to start the engine, with the 5. operator in the seat, disengage power to the cutter deck, place the steering control levers in the neutral position and engage the parking brake.

If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the 6. engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to stop before removing the obstruction.

WARNING

DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to remove clogged material after the engine has stopped running and the blades have stopped turning.

Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden 7. hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any dropoffs. Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.), underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden hazards.

Disengage power to cutter deck before backing up. 8. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower. If you must mow in reverse, maintain a constant lookout to the rear of the machine and mow slowly.

DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.9. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing 10.

roads, walks or gravel drives. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.11. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.12. Take all possible precautions when leaving the 13.

INSPECT WEBBING

INSPECT BUCKLE & LATCH

ROLL-OvER PROTECTION SYSTEM2.5

WARNING

The seat belt must be securely fastened during operation. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or loss of life.

This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in injury or death.

The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat belt system regularly.

It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be replaced immediately.

Section 2

Seat Belt InspectionFigure 2-1.

WARNING

Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.

Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can not back up the slope without the wheels slipping, do not operate the machine on this slope. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.

Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns, starts or stops on a slope.

WARNING

Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.

Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.

Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to 2. ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt, the physical strength of this webbing may have deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat belt system.

Check the buckle and latch for proper operation 3. and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn, deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked. See Figure 2-1.

NEvER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate the machine.

Be cautious when loading and unloading onto trailers or trucks.

Use only a full width ramp.

Ramp angle should be no more than 15 Degrees.

Back up the ramp and drive down forward.

Section 4

Check interlock system for proper operation. (See 5. Section 4.2.)

Check tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.

6. (See Section 7.10.)

STARTING THE ENGINE4.4

CAUTION

DO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting ﬂuids in the air intake system may be potentially explosive or cause a “runaway” engine condition that could result in engine damage and/or personal injury.

Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located behind the 1. operator's seat, is completely open.

Sit in the operator’s seat, fasten seat belt and place 2. the steering control levers in the neutral position.

Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow forward travel.

Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain a smooth operating action.

Practice operating the mower until you are comfortable with the controls before proceeding to mow.

FORWARD TRAvEL

To travel forward with the mower, disengage the parking brake, pull levers inward out of the neutral lock position and slowly push the steering control levers forward an equal distance. The further the steering control levers are pushed forward the greater the forward speed will be. To increase the speed, push the steering control levers further forward and to decrease the speed, pull the steering control levers back.

To stop the forward travel, pull the steering control levers back to the neutral position.

Engage the parking brake.

3. Place the PTO switch in the disengaged position.4. If the engine is cold, choke the engine as needed.5. Move the engine throttle control to about half engine 6.

speed. Turn the ignition key to the START position and 7.

release the key as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key in the START position for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow at least 60 seconds between each cranking attempt to prevent overheating of the starter motor. Prolonged cranking can damage the starter motor and shorten battery life.

Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.

GROUND TRAvEL AND STEERING4.5

- IMPoRtANt -

If you are not familiar with the operation of a machine with lever steering and/or hydrostatic transmissions, the steering and ground speed operations should be learned and practiced in an open area, away from buildings, fences, or obstructions.

To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the right steering control lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn right.

- Note -

Smooth operation of the steering levers will produce smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

- IMPoRtANt -

Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower will hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. (See Figure 4-1 item 12 for cutter deck raising description.)

Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

CAUTION

Disengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

CAUTION

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

To travel in reverse, pull levers inward out of the neutral lock position and pull both handles back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

ENGAGING THE DECK DRIvE (CUTTER 4.6

BLADES)

Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to 1. engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine speed when engaging the deck drive.

Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow

2. switch, located on the instrument panel, to the engage position. See Figure 4-3.

Cutter engage SwitchFigure 4-3.

- Note -

The mower may not travel straight in reverse. Slight adjustments may need to be made using the steering controls.

To steer left while tr aveling in reverse, allow the left steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn right.

To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control levers to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be parked, place the handles in the neutral lock position and engage the parking brake.

- Note -

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. This is normal.

To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to 3. the disengage position.

Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly 4. maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.

Section 4

HILLSIDE OPERATION4.7

WARNING

This mower has been designed for good traction 1. and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control. The Roll-Over Protection System is standard equipment for this machine. See Section 2.5, page 6 of this manual for further details.

Some areas may need to be mowed with a walk-2. behind mower or string trimmer

To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or 3. stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires loose traction, disengage blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Sudden

4. starts may cause the machine to tip backwards.

Loss of traction may occur when traveling down hill. Weight transfers to the front of the machine and may cause the drive wheels to slip causing loss of braking or steering.

Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove 6. the key.

AFTER OPERATION4.9

Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not 1. use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical components.

- IMPoRtANt -

Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water will damage the engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine if it is hot.

Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat 2. damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.

Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.

DANGER

To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.

After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper octane requirements.

Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if 5. necessary.

REMOvING CLOGGED MATERIAL4.10

Keep tires properly inflated.6. Use caution when operating the mower on an incline 7.

with the optional grass catcher installed.

PARKING THE MOWER4.8

If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off 1. the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then resume normal mowing.

MOvING MOWER WITH ENGINE 4.11

STOPPED

To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the engine running, place the dump valve levers in the FREEWHEEL position. See Figure 4-2, page 13. Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. When the machine is in the desired position, engage the parking brake and place the dump valve levers in the DRIVE position. The dump valve levers must be returned to the DRIVE position to drive the mower.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING4.12

Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear 1. grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and reduced mowing power.

Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting. 7. Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at full speed.

Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn

8. appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the grass.

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT4.13

The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1 inch to 4-1/2 inches at 1/4-inch intervals. To adjust the cutting height:

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the cutting height with the mower blades rotating. Disengage the power to the cutter blades and then adjust cutting height.

WARNING

DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute, Mulching Kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly installed.

The discharge chute must not be removed and 2. must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by thrown objects.

Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut

3. grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass for best appearance). Mow frequently.

Keep mower and discharge chute clean.4. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice. 5.

Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first pass and then make a second pass to the desired height.

Disengage the power to the cutter blades.1. Push the cutting height adjustment foot pedal all 2.

the way forward using your right foot until it locks in place. See Figure 4-4.

CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS6.6

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- Note -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly inflated.

CUTTER DECK LEvEL

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side of the machine, check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

CUTTER DECK PITCH

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind the cutter deck hanging chains. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of the cutter deck hanging chains. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level 1. links on the front of the cutter deck on both sides. See Figure 6-5 and 6-6.

If the cutter deck is lower on one side, loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the front and rear of the lower side. See Figure 6-4.

Turn the adjustment bolts on the front and rear deck

2. level links clockwise until the cutter deck is level between both sides. See Figure 6-4

Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

Cutter Deck Pitch AdjustmentFigure 6-5.

Turn the adjustment bolts on both sides either 2. clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the front of the cutter deck until the measurements are equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.

- Note -

To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four (4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on them. If all four chains do not have tension on them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above. All measurements should be taken from the top edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven bottom edge.

CUTTER DECK HEIGHT

The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Place the cutter deck in the 3" cutting position. Push 1. on the cutter deck foot pedal and pull up on the cutter deck release lever to lower the cutter deck.

Check the measurement from the floor to the 2. cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not 3", an adjustment can be made using the deck level links

Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level 3. links on both sides of the cutter deck. See Figure 6-7.

ADJUSTMENT NUTS

The electric clutch serves two functions in the operation of the mower. In addition to starting and stopping the power flow to the cutter blades, the clutch also acts as a brake to assist in stopping blade rotation when the PTO is switched off or the operator presence circuit is interrupted.

When the clutch is disengaged, the air gap between the armature and rotor must be adjusted to fifteen thousandths of an inch, 0.015, for proper operation. The airgap adjustment is made at three bolts on the clutch. There are three inspection windows, one next to each adjusting bolt. See Figure 6-3.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM7.2

A. CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEvEL

The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first 10 hours of operation. Thereafter, check the oil after every 200 hours of machine operation or monthly, whichever occurs first.

- IMPoRtANt -

If the oil level is consistently low, check for leaks and correct immediately.

Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the 1. reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir.

When the machine is "cold" (before operation), 2. visually check the level of the hydraulic system oil. Hydraulic system oil level should be in the middle of the indicator window located on the left side of the machine. See Figure 7-2. DO NOT overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage).

- IMPoRtANt -

The hydraulic system oil should be changed if you notice the presence of water or a rancid odor to the hydraulic oil.

Park the mower on a level surface and stop the engine.

Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter 2. guard from both axles. See Figure 7-3. Clean any loose debris around the perimeter of the filter.

Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.3.

Hydraulic System oil LevelFigure 7-2.

B. CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL

The hydraulic system oil should be changed after the first 120 hours of machine operation and every 400 hours or annually thereafter, whichever occurs first. The oil should also be changed if the color of the fluid has become black or milky. A blac k color and/or a rancid odor usually indicates possible overheating of the oil, and a milky color usually indicates water in the hydraulic oil.

Hydraulic oil Filter and Drain PlugFigure 7-3.

Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil 3. filters. Remove the cover from the left side tank to gain access to the hydraulic expansion reservoir. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir.

Remove the hydraulic filters from both axles and 4. allow the fluid to drain into the container. Properly discard the oil when the system has drained completely. See Figure 7-3.

Once the hydraulic system has drained, install new 5. hydraulic oil filters to both axles by hand, turn 3/4 to one complete turn after filter gasket contacts the filter base.

Reinstall the filter guards and torque the screws to 6. 65 in/lbs.

CUTTER BLADES7.8

A. BLADE INSPECTION

Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.1. Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 2.

the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

Blade SharpeningFigure 7-8.

WARNING

Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter

3. blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.

WARNING

Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always replace it with a new blade to assure safety.

If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be 4. sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See "Blade Replacement."

- Note -

Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull blades not only yields a poor mowing job, but slows the cutting speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the engine and the blade drive by pulling hard.

Check the balance of the blade. If the blades are out 2. of balance, vibration and premature wear can occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to balance your own blades.

C. BLADE REPLACEMENT

WARNING

Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

Remove the ignition key before replacing the blades.1. Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 2.

the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

Secure the cutter blades to prevent them from 3. rotating, (use the optional Blade Buddy tool P/N 9212, to assist in securing the cutter blades), remove the blade attaching bolt. Remove the cutter blade, bolt, lockwasher and flatwasher from the spindle shaft. See Figure 7-9.

B. BLADE SHARPENING

- Note -

If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using a wheel grinder may burn the blade.

- Note -

DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade. See Figure 7-8.

Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the original. See Figure 7-8. Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

LIMITED WARRANTY - SFz

Any part of the Scag commercial mower manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judgment of Scag, to be defective in materials or workmanship, will be repaired or replaced by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer without charge for parts and labor during the periods speciﬁed below. This warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is not transferable. Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claims. All warranty work must be performed by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer.

We reserve the right to request components for evaluation. This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has been operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as speciﬁed in the Operator’s Manual.

Engines and electric starters are covered by the engine manufacturer’s warranty period.•

Major drive system components are warranted for one (1) year (parts and labor) for commercial use or three (3) year / 500 hour • (whichever comes ﬁrst) (Parts and labor) for non-commercial use by Scag Power Equipment.

Any Scag product used for rental purposes is covered by a 90 day warranty. •

The Scag mower, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer within the warranty period. The expense of delivering the mower to the dealer for warranty work and the expense of returning it to the owner after repair will be paid for by the owner. Scag’s responsibility is limited to making the required repairs and no claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any Scag mower. “Non-Commercial” use is deﬁned as a single property owner, where the single property is the residence of the owner of the mower. If the mower is cutting more than the owners single property, it is deemed commercial use and the “non-commercial” warranty does not apply. Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to deny and / or void the non-commercial warranty if it believes it to be in commercial use.

This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has been operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as speciﬁed in the Operator’s Manual. The warranty does not apply

to any damage to the mower that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that have not been assembled or installed as speciﬁed in the Operator’s Manual and Assembly Manual. The warranty does not cover any mower that has been altered or modiﬁed, changing performance or durability. In addition, the warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable judgment of Scag, are either incompatible with the Scag mower or adversely affect its operation, performance or durability.

Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without assuming any obligation to modify any mower previously manufactured. All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the one (1) year warranty

commercial use, three (3) years for non-commercial use or ninety (90) days for mowers used for rental purpose. Accordingly, any such implied warranties including merchantability, ﬁtness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration of the appropriate two year or ninety day warranty period. Scag’s obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them any other obligation. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Scag assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages including, but not limited to, expense for gasoline, expense of delivering the mower to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the owner, mechanic’s travel time, telephone or telegram charges, rental of a like product during the time warranty repairs are being performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
