5. Do not operate the machine while wearing sandals,
tennis shoes, sneakers or shorts. Also, do not wear
loose fitting clothing which could get caught in
moving parts. Always wear long pants and substantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses and safety shoes
is advisable and required by some local ordinances
and insurance regulations.
6. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline, with a
minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid spilling gasoline. Gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
A. Use an approved gasoline container.
B. Do not fill the tank while the engine is hot or
running.
C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
D. Fill the fuel tank outdoors and up to approxi-
mately 1" (25 mm) below the bottom of the filler
neck.
E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
7. Before attempting to start the engine, shift the
transmission into neutral, move the blade engagement switch to the OFF position, and move the
neutral latches to neutral.
1. Start the engine when the neutral latches are in the
neutral lock position, the cutter blades are disengaged, and the transmission is in neutral.
2. Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous
and could possibly be deadly.
3. Using the machine demands attention. To
prevent loss of control:
A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Do not drive close to a drop-off, ditch, creek
bank, or other hazard.
D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on hillsides.
E. Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm
hold on the handles and walk---never run.
F. Do not operate where conditions are slippery.
4. The discharge chute must always be installed and in
the down position on the side discharge cutter deck
except when the Scag optional grass catcher or
mulching plate are properly installed. If the discharge area should plug, shut the engine off and wait
for all movement to stop before removing the
obstruction.
5. Disengage the blades and wait for them to stop
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
6. Shut the engine off and wait until the blades come to
a complete stop before removing the grass catcher
container.
7. Never raise the cutter deck while the blades are
rotating.
8. Always park the mower and/or start the engine on a
level surface.

Page 7
9. If the cutting blades should strike a solid object or
the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble. Check the machine
for damaged or defective parts. Repair any damage
before starting the engine or operating the cutter
deck. Be sure the blades are in good condition and
the blade bolts are tight.
14. Use only Scag approved riding attachments.
Scag Approved Riding Attachments:
RS-2
RS-ZT
Using unapproved attachments, (especially "standup" riding attachments) may be hazardous.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
10. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss
of control. Be especially cautious when changing
directions on slopes.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a
slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck
down). If the machine can back up the slope
without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use
extreme caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA
APPROVED OPERATION.
11. Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause a burn.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position or leaving the
mower unattended, shift the transmission into
neutral, place the neutral latches in the neutral lock
position, and move the blade engagement switch to
OFF. Shut the engine OFF and remove the key.
13. Do not pass or stand on the grass discharge side
of any mower with the engine running. Stop
operation when another person approaches.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug to prevent accidental starting of the engine
when servicing, adjusting or storing the machine.
2. If the mower must be tipped to perform maintenance or adjustment, remove the battery, drain
the gasoline from the fuel tank and the oil from
the crankcase.
3. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumulations of dirt.
4. Be sure the machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check
the blade mounting bolts and nuts frequently to
be sure they are tightened.
5. If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other parts of the body away from the
cutter deck blades and other moving parts.
6. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy,
have an authorized dealer check maximum engine
speed with a tachometer.
7. The engine must be shut off before checking the
oil or adding oil to the crankcase.

DRIVE POSITION
Due to the many cutting conditions that exist, it is difficult
to suggest a cutter deck setting that will work for every
lawn. There are two adjustments that can be made on
these decks, pitch and height.
PITCH is the angle of the blades (comparing front to
rear). A 1/4" downward pitch (front of deck down) is
recommended for best cutting performance.
HEIGHT is the nominal distance the blade is off of the
ground. This measurement is made with the blades
pointed side to side and distance is measured between
cutting tip and ground. (Also see Blade Height Adjust-
ment, next page)
Changes to the cutting height can be achieved by repositioning the cutter deck (This adjustment will also effect
the pitch of the deck). There are three available positions (see figure 5).

BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving any
number of the five smaller 1/4" spacers on the blade
mounting bolts to the top of the spindle shaft or below
the spindle shaft.
-NOTE-
All blades should be positioned equally.
For best cut and discharge, a minimum of three spacers
should be installed between the blade and the spindle.
(See figure 7)
CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
(See figure 8)
-NOTE-
Dress the blade with a file. Using a wheel
grinder may burn the blade. Check the balance
of the blade. If blades are out of balance, vibration and premature wear of spindle assembly 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. 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 clutches have a Limited Warranty 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.
