HYDRAULIC SAFETY

1. Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure. If you need service on your hydraulic system, please see your dealer.

WARNING:

Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under high pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate your skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, a physician familiar with this form of injury must remove it surgically within a few hours or gangrene may result.

3. Make sure the engine oil level (10W30) is at FULL on the dipstick. When performing oil changes, fill the engine to the full mark on the engine dipstick. (Approximately 2 quarts will be needed for Kohler engines) DO NOT OVERFILL.

CAUTION:

When replacing the drive system belt use extreme caution. The idler arm is under spring tension.

Remove the two 1/4" nuts on the belt guard and remove the guard. To remove the old belt, use a 1/2" drive breaker bar and insert it into the square hole on the idler arm. Pull the idler arm down until the belt becomes slack and can be removed easily from the idler pulley. Slowly move the idler arm up until the stop bolt rests against the hydraulic tank support. Remove the old belt and mount the new belt around the engine drive pulley and the two pump pulleys. Feed the belt up toward the idler pulley.

Pull the idler arm down so that the new belt can easily be mounted on the idler pulley. Slowly move the idler arm up until the belt is firmly engaged. Remove the breaker bar and remount the belt guard. Check to ensure that the belt is riding properly in all pulleys.

ontrol Handle Position

Hand Control Handle Position

The position of the hand control handles can be adjusted for operator comfort. Loosen the bolts holding the handle to the lever bar just enough to allow movement of the handle. Adjust to position most comfortable for operator. Retighten bolts.

4. Check the oil level (SAE 20W50) in the hydraulic reservoir. The reservoir is under the seat. The oil level should be 2" below the top of the tank. When performing oil changes, fill the reservoir until 2" below top of tank. (Approximately 4 quarts will be needed) DO NOT OVERFILL.

5. Check that all fasteners are tightened properly. Make sure all safety devices are in place and working correctly.

WARNING:

Gasoline is highly flammable. Be careful when filling tank. Do not fill tank while engine is running or hot from operation. Extinguish open flames, matches, and smoking materials before filling tank. Do not overfill tank. Wipe up all gasoline spills.

6. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.

7. Check the safety interlock system. With the operator on the seat, the engine must not start unless the control handles are in the neutral lock position and the cutter drive is disengaged.

INITIAL RUN, INSPECTION, AND OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check that all belts are routed correctly.

2. Check cutter blade drive belts for correct tension.

IMPORTANT: If the engine is running, the

engine must stop if the operator leaves the seat when one or both handles are in the drive position or the cutter drive is engaged.

INITIAL RUN, INSPECTION, AND OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS CONT’D

8. To start the engine:

10. Release the parking brake. Check that the machine does not creep forward or backward. If the machine does creep, adjust the neutral control. See Neutral Adjustment instructions.

a. The operator must be sitting in the seat. b. Place control handles in neutral lock position. c. Pull mower engagement switch to off position. d. Put parking brake in engaged position. e. Adjust throttle and choke as required. f. Turn ignition key to start. Release ignition key

LIMITED WARRANTY-COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT

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. 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. This warranty is limited to the following specified periods from the date of the original retail purchase for defects in materials or workmanship:

* Wear items including drive belts, blades, hoses and tires are warranted for 90 days. * Batteries are covered for 90 days. * Frame, deck, and structural components including oil reservoir, fittings, and oil cooler are warranted for 1 year. * Engines and electric starters are covered by the manufacturers warranty period. * Drive system components are warranted for 1 year by the component manufacturer, in conjunction with Scag Power Equipment. (Excluding fittings, hoses, cooling system, oil reservoir, drive belts). * Electric clutch components are warranted for 1 year. * Cutter Spindle Assemblies 46631 have a Limited Warranty for three years (Parts and labor 1st year; Parts only 2nd and 3rd year).

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.

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 period 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 one 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.
