in good operating condition.
- Do not engage blades until ready to mow.
OPERATING SAFELY
In general
- Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
- Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop blades if
not mowing.
- Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
- Do not place your foot on the ground while
operating the machine.
- Before operating, lower the discharge chute,
install the mulcher or put the entire grass catcher
in place.
- Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Never direct the discharge toward a bystander.
Stop operation if someone approaches.
- Keep washout ports and other mower housing
service openings closed when mowing.
- Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
- Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
- Limit loads to those you can safely control.
- Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the operator's manual.
- Never leave a machine unattended. Always turn
off blades, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key before dismounting.
Starting
- Start only according to instructions in this manual
or on the machine.
- Before attempting to start the engine, make sure:
- the parking brake is on;
- the PTO is disengaged;
- the traction drive is in NEUTRAL.
- When starting the engine, make sure hands and
feet are clear of the blades.
- Do not start the machine while standing in front
of the discharge chute or with the chute directed
at someone.
- Do not engage PTO at full throttle. Throttle to
idle or lowest possible engine speed.
- Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine
at excessive speed can increase the hazard of
personal injury.
MANUEVERING SAFELY
In general
- Slow down before turning.
- Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look behind and down
for small children and pets before and during
backing.
- Be aware when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, tall grass or other objects that may
obscure vision.
- If tires lose traction, disengage the blades. If on
a slope, head downhill.

XRZ
SAFETY
Interrupting operation
- Before leaving the operator's position:
- Park on level ground.
- Disengage the PTO.
- Set the parking brake.
- Shut off the engine and remove the key.
- Disengage the PTO and wait until the blades quit
rotating:
- before raising cutterdeck;
- when not mowing;
- for transport;
- when crossing surfaces other than grass.
- Stop the engine, disengage the PTO, set parking
brake and wait until the blades quit rotating and
lower cutting unit:
- before refueling;
- before removing grass catcher;
- before making height adjustment unless the
adjustment can be made from the operator's
position.
- Stop the engine, disengage the PTO, set parking
brake and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or
remove the key:
- before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;
- before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs before
restarting;
- if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally:
shut off machine immediately. Inspect and
make repairs as needed before restarting;
- except for repairs or adjustments as specically
noted, such as for carburetor adjustment,
where the engine must be running. Keep
hands and feet clear of moving parts in these
circumstances.
- Allow the blades to come to a complete stop
when stopping operation to clear blockages,
unclog, inspect the machine, do maintenance or
repair.
- Reduce the throttle setting during engine shutdown and, if the engine is provided with a shutoff valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.
Mowing slopes
Slopes are a major factor in
loss-of-control and tip over
accidents that sometimes lead
to severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution.
- Do not mow on slopes if
uneasy or uncertain. Ultimate responsibility for
safe operation on slopes rests with the operator.
- Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
- On zero turn machines, mow across slopes, not
up and down.
- Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
- With a zero turn machine, if tires lose traction
going down a slope, steering control may be
regained by speeding up.
- Mid-mount zero turns (belly mounted deck) have
much greater traction pointed up slope than down
slope. Be aware that traction may be lost going
down a slope. Do not operate a mid-mount zero
turn on slopes it cannot back up.
- Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed
or direction.
- Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then
turn slowly and downhill when possible.
- Stay away from slopes if the ground is loose or if
caught in the rain during mowing.
- Use lower speeds on a slope to avoid stopping or
shifting.
- Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of
the machine.
- Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs etc.
- Avoid driving over obstacles such as ruts, holes,
rocks and roots whenever possible. Be alert to
dips and rises. Uneven terrain can overturn a
mower or cause it to slide. Tall grasses can hide
obstacles.
- Do not mow dropoffs, ditches or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel
runs over the edge or an edge caves in.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
- Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Reduced
traction could cause sliding.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
- Maintain machine according to manufacturer's
schedule and instructions for maximum safety
and best mowing results.
- Park machine on level ground.
- Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
- Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the blades have quit rotating.
- Inspect grass catcher components regularly. If
worn, damaged or deteriorated, they may expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty.
For best results, always replace with parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
- Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire(s)
before making any repairs. Disconnect the
negative terminal rst and the positive last. Re-
connect positive rst and negative last.
- Do not dismantle the machine without releasing
or restraining forces which may cause parts to
move suddenly.
- Provide adequate support, e.g. jackstands for
lifted machine or parts if working beneath.
- Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
- Replace faulty mufers.
- To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, mufer,
battery compartment and fuel storage area free
of grass, leaves, debris buildup or grease.
- Hydraulic uid can penetrate skin, use paper
to check for leaks. Relieve hydraulic pressure
before disconnecting hoses. Make sure
connections are tight and hoses are in good
condition.
Blades
- Mower blades are sharp and
can cut. Use extra caution
when handling. Remove obstructions with care. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves.
- Be aware that rotating one
blade on multiblade mowers
can cause other blades to
rotate.
- Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld
them.
- Keep other persons away from blades.
Fuel
- Gasoline and diesel fuels are
ammable; gasoline vapors
are explosive. Use extra care
when handling.
- Store only in containers spe-
cically designed for fuel.
- When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors
have cleared.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static
electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not ll
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground
away from the vehicle.
- When practical, remove gas powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If equipment must be refueled on the
truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container
rather than a dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
- Replace caps on fuel cans and tanks securely.

FOOT PEDAL LIFT LEVER (F) - Used to raise
the cutterdeck for curb climbing, blade changing and
lifting the deck close to the transport position. To
return to preset height of cut, lower foot pedal until
latch lever E contacts height of cut pin A.
TRANSPORT LATCH LEVER (T) - Used
to secure the cutterdeck in transport position. To
secure the deck, push the foot pedal F forward aand
lift the transport latch lever T into the locking position. To release transport latch lever T, push the foot
pedal F slightly forward to disengage latch and press
transport latch lever T downward. Allow foot pedal F
to rotate toward machine until latch lever E contacts
height of cut pin A.
XRZ
HEIGHT OF CUT PIN (A) - Sets height of cut
and allows easy return from transport to desired
height of cut. Raise the deck to transport using the
foot pedal and transfer latch lever T. Position pin
A in the hole corresponding to the desired height of
cut. Lower the latch lever until it rests on pin A.

NOTE: Reverse is spring loaded to return to neutral.
This spring resistance may be felt when moving the
traction levers into reverse. When the levers are
released in reverse, spring tension will slowly return
them to the neutral position.
STEERING - To steer, move one lever forward and
one back.
Turns during forward movement:
Right turn - move the right traction lever back
–
toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
Lift and traction levers
(operator's right side)
TRACTION LEVERS (L) - Each of the two trac-
tion levers controls the drive wheel located on the
same side. They control the forward and reverse
movement of the machine, provide steering and also
provide dynamic braking.
The operator must be in the seat and the parking
brake must be OFF or the traction drive cannot be
engaged. To engage traction drive, move the traction
levers toward the center of the machine until they are
out of neutral lock slot S.
Forward movement - To move the machine straight
ahead, push both traction levers forward equally from
their neutral position. Forward speed increases as
the levers are moved farther forward from the neutral
position. Maximum forward speed is reached when
the levers hit the front of the forward-reverse slot.
When traveling forward, pulling the traction levers
rearward slows the machine, and the machine stops
when the neutral position is reached.
Reverse movement - To move the machine straight
back, pull both traction levers back equally from their
neutral position. Reverse speed increases as the
levers are moved back farther. Maximum reverse
speed is reached when the levers hit the rear of the
forward-reverse slot. When moving in reverse, pushing the levers forward slows the machine, and the
machine stops when the neutral position is reached.
– Left turn - move the left traction lever back to-
ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
Turns during reverse movement:
– Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the right drive
wheel.
– Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the left drive
wheel.
Slow, sweeping turns are made with both traction
levers on the same side of neutral and slightly
apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the
machine are made by having one lever in reverse
while the other is in forward. By varying the relative
positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to
suit the mowing situation.
Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine
is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are
moved further apart from each other. Loss of control
and/or turf damage may result.

PARKING BRAKE (R) - Pull the parking brake
lever up and back to put the parking brake ON. Push
it forward and down to put the parking brake OFF.
The parking brake must be ON to start the engine.
It must also be ON to keep the engine running if the
operator leaves the seat. The parking brake must be
OFF to keep the engine running when a traction lever
is moved out of neutral lock.

PUSHING THE MACHINE
The machine may be pushed with the engine off, the
parking brake off, and the bypass valves open.
To open the bypass valves, move the parking brake
to the OFF position, then lift and pull bypass control
rod C through the large opening D, until the control
rod stop is past the opening. Drop rod C into the
small opening to lock in place. Repeat for the other
bypass control rod.
To close the bypass valves, lift bypass control rod C
allowing the control rod stop to retract through the
