W ARNING

This machine is equipped with an interlock system intended to protect the operator and others from injury. This is accomplished by preventing the engine from starting unless the deck drive is disengaged, the neutral lock lever is in the neutral lock position, and the operator is in the operating position. The system shuts off the engine if the operator steps off the operator platform with the deck drive engaged or if the neutral lock lever is placed in the drive position (D) and the parking brake is applied. Never operate equipment with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning.

Be sure the interlock switches are functioning 10. correctly.

Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel 11. tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage before starting the engine.

DO NOT add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow 12. the engine to cool for several minutes before adding fuel. Never fuel indoors or inside enclosed trailers.

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 20 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.

Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, 3. ditches and retaining walls.

To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop 4. smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.

When using any attachment, never direct the 5. discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

Start the engine with the operator in the operating 6. position, cutter blades are disengaged, parking brake is engaged, and the neutral lever is in neutral.

If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the 7. engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to stop before removing the obstruction.

Section 2

TIE DOWN POINT

The system shuts off the engine if the operator steps off the operator platform with the deck drive engaged or if the neutral lock lever is placed in the drive position (D) and the parking brake is applied. Never operate equipment with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning.

W ARNING

Never operate the mower with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not disengage or bypass any switch; injury to yourself and others or property damage could result.

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

Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located by the fuel 1. tank, is completely open. See Section 7.5.

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. Practice until you are comfortable with the handling of the machine before attempting to mow. Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

- IMPORTANT -

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, place the neutral lock lever in the drive (D) 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 forward and to decrease speed, pull the steering control levers back. See Figure 4-2.

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

- NOTE -

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

REvERSE TRAvEL

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 both steering control handles back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

- NOTE -

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

To steer the mower to the left while traveling forward, pull the left steering control lever back. The further the steering control is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn left. See Figure 4-3.

To steer the mower to the right while traveling forward, pull the right steering control lever back. The further the steering control is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn right. See Figure 4-3.

To steer left while traveling 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, engage the parking brake and place the neutral lock lever in the neutral (N) position.

- NOTE -

Steering ControlsFigure 4-3.

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.

Section 4

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.

HILLSIDE OPERATION4.7

WARNING

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 20 degrees. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROvED OPERATION.

This mower has been designed for good traction and 1. 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.

Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, 2. ditches and retaining walls.

To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or 3. stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires lose 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. 5. Weight transfers to the front of the machine and may cause the drive wheels to slip causing loss of braking or steering.

Never back down hill.6.

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 3. 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

DANGER

Keep tires properly inflated.7.

PARkING THE MOWER4.8

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. Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. The dump valve levers must be returned to the DRIVE position and torqued to 7-10 ft/lbs 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.

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.

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT4.13

The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/2 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, put the neutral lock lever in the neutral position, apply the parking brake and then adjust cutting height.

Disengage the power to the cutter blades.

1. Pull on the cutter deck lift lever lever all the way 2.

backward until it locks in place. See Figure 4-5.

Insert the lanyard pin into the cutting height index at the desired cutting height. Pull backward on the cutter deck lift lever, push and hold the lock button See Figure 4-5. Slowly release the cutter deck lift lever. A deck height decal is located on the cutting height index as an aid in adjusting the deck to the desired height.

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. 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.

Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.6. 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.

INSPECTION WINDOW (x3)

INSERT 0.015 FEELER GAUGE HERE

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 6-8.

Section 6

Clutch Air Gap AdjustmentFigure 6-8.

Locate the inspection windows on the clutch.1. Place a 0.015 feeler gauge in the slot between the 2.

rotor and the armature. See Figure 6-9.

Clutch Air Gap AdjustmentFigure 6-9.

Tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt as needed to 3. acheive the 0.015 inch airgap. See Figure 6-10. Perform this operation at all three inspection windows.

Clutch Air Gap AdjustmentFigure 6-10.

This adjustment should be done every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. In cases where the machine is heavily used, airgap settings should be checked more often.

If the air gap is too narrow, the clutch armature may drag when disengaged, resulting in premature failure.

If the air gap is too wide, the clutch may be slow to engage as the magnet must pull the armature in from a greater distance.

FRONT WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT6.8

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. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

The 36" model comes standard with two (2) weights installed and the 48" and 52" models come standard with one (1) weight installed. All models must not be operated with less than the number of weights listed above.

HYDRAULIC OIL

RESERVOIR

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM7.3

A. CHECkING HYDRAULIC OIL LEvEL

The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first 8 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 reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir.

Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic 2. oil must be at least 2-1/4" inches from top of the filler neck. If the level cannot be determined visually, use a clean tape measure to check the level. If the fluid is low, add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage around the cap area).

B. CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL

The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500 hours or annually, whichever occurs first. The oil should also be changed if the color of the fluid has become black or milky. A black color and/or a rancid odor usually indicates possible overheating of the oil, and a milky color usually indicates water in the hydraulic oil.

- IMPORTANT -

The hydraulic 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, stop the engine 1. and remove the ignition key.

Place a suitable container under the hydraulic 2. oil filter. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir. Remove the drain plug from the fitting on the filter base. See Figure 7-3. Allow the fluid to drain into the container and properly discard it.

Re-install the drain plug into the tee fitting and be 3. sure it is tight.

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

- NOTE -

Before refilling the hydraulic oil reservoir the hydraulic oil filter should be changed as outlined in Procedure C "Changing Hydraulic Oil Filter Element".

Fill the reservoir to full 2-1/4" inches below the filler 4. neck with 20W50 motor oil.

Replace the reservoir fill cap. Start the engine and 5. drive forward and backward for two minutes. Check the oil level in the reservoir. If necessary, add oil to the reservoir.

DANGER

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

A. FILLING THE FUEL TANk

Fill the fuel tank at the beginning of each operating day to within one (1) inch below the bottom of the filler neck. Do not overfill. Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and a maximum of 10% Ethanol.

DO NOT use E85 Fuel. Using E85 Fuel will cause severe damage to the engine.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

B. REPLACING IN-LINE FUEL FILTER ELEMENTS

The engine fuel filter should be replaced after every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever occurs first. See Figure 7-5.

Close the shutoff valve. Remove the two clamps 1. securing the fuel filter to the fuel hose. Remove the fuel filter.

Install a new fuel filter. Be sure it is installed in the proper direction. Secure to the fuel hose using the two clamps.

Use only an approved gasoline container.

2. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the 3.

engine running. Allow the engine to completely cool before fueling.

Never fuel the machine indoors or in an enclosed 4. trailer.

Never store the machine or fuel container where 5. there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck 6. or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and

7. fuel on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the machine with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of fuel tank 8. or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

CUTTER BLADES7.8

A. BLADE INSPECTION

Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.1.

- 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.

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 7-6.

Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the 1. original. See Figure 7-6. Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

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.

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 sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See "Blade Replacement."

Blade SharpeningFigure 7-6.

Check the balance of the blade. If the blades are out 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.

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 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.

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, hydraulic hoses and tires are warranted for ninety (90) days.• Batteries are covered for ninety (90) days.• Frame and structural components including oil reservoir and oil coolers are warranted for two (2) years (parts and labor) for com-•

(parts and labor 1st and 2nd year; parts only 3rd year.) • The repair or replacement of the cutter deck will be at the option of Scag Power Equipment. 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 two (2) years (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 two (2) year for 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.
