9. 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.
WHILE OPERATING
1. Do not operate the machine under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
2. Start the engine when the neutral latches are in the
neutral lock position, the cutter blades are disengaged, and the transmission is in neutral.
3. Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous
and could possibly be deadly.
4. 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.
7. The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occuring to themselves, other
people or property.
8. 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.
5. 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.
6. Disengage the blades and wait for them to stop
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
7. Shut the engine off and wait until the blades come to
a complete stop before removing the grass catcher
container.
8. Never raise the cutter deck while the blades are
rotating.
4
9. Always park the mower and/or start the engine on a
level surface.
10. 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.
11. 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.
15. Use only Scag approved attachments and accessories.
Scag Approved Attachments:
RS-2
RS-ZT
GC-F4
GC-4D
Scag Approved Accessories:
Mulch Master
Traction Plus
Adjust-A-Grip
Turbo Baffle
Using unapproved attachments, (especially "stand-up"
riding attachments) may be hazardous.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Allow only trained personnel to service the machine.
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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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. Check for loose hardware. Tighten as needed.
5. Check the safety switches for proper adjustment:
* The engine will crank, but not start if the
machine is not in neutral.
* On electric start machines, the engine will not
crank if the PTO switch is on.
* The engine should crank and start if the
machine is in neutral and the PTO engagement
switch is OFF.
* Check the oil level in the engine.
* Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free
gasoline.
* Open the fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel
tank.

AREA
When PTO is engaged or (possibly) disengaged,
a squealing sound from the underside of the
machine is normal. It is caused by the electric
clutch plates meshing as the cutter blades come
up to speed. For best equipment life, engage the
clutch with the engine at 3/4 throttle, not under
full load.
WARNING:
To avoid serious bodily injury and damage to the
transmission, the machine must be at a full stop
before shifting between gears or shifting between
forward and reverse.
5. Shift the transmission into gear for the desired
mowing speed.
-NOTE-
Top speed is suggested only for transport!

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.
