SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it.
Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire
grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the
type of machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness
of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop
or change speeds while on the slope.
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may loose traction.
5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling
down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the machine to rollover.
8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.
9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground (ride-on units).
10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is
over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.
12. Do not mow slopes you cannot back up them.
13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes
even through the brakes are functioning properly.
16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
WARNING
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent
(10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in
20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.
When operating on slopes use additional wheel
weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to
determine which weights are available and
appropriate for your unit.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.
In addition to front weights, use extra caution when
operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass
catchers.
Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,
use caution when changing directions and DO NOT
START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and
down for small children.
4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe unit operation. Children who have been given
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the unit.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
EMISSIONS
1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
TOWED EQUIPMENT (RIDE-ON UNITS)
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
weight limit for towed equipment and towing on
slopes.
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG,
SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity
for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for
the outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check oil
level more frequently.
Checking/Adding Oil
Before adding or checking the oil
•Place engine level.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 4) and wipe with a
clean cloth.
2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should
be at the FULL mark (B) on the dipstick.
4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute and then
recheck the oil level.

Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if
equipped) will either stop the engine or activate a warning
device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine
and check the oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it
reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for
proper pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, donot start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have
the oil pressure problem corrected.
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
•Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
•A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see below.
•Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as
E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run
on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the
not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is
certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control
system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
Storage
section. All fuel is
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1,524 meters), a minimum 85
octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See an authorized dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Servicing the Air Filter
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
•Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly (if equipped) or the air filter (if equipped)
removed.
NOTICE: Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean
the filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.

Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-
-cleaner.
5. Assemble the dry pre-cleaner and the filter into the
engine base (D).
6. Install the cover.
Storage
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to
an ignition source (such as a furnace, water
heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel
vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove
the key.
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool,
dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the
battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® fuel stabilizer,
available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout
the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored
up to 24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
22
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See
Changing the Oil
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures
found in this manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.

trávu, listí a přebytečný olej. Nezastavujte a neparkujte
nad suchým listím, trávou nebo hořlavými materiály.
PŘEPRAVA A SKLADOVÁNÍ
1. Pokud přepravujete tento stroj na otevřeném návěsu,
musí jeho přední část směřovat ve směru jízdy. Pokud
směřuje vpřed zadní část stroje, může být stroj
poškozen účinky odporu vzduchu.
2. Když do stroje plníte palivo po jeho přepravě nebo
uskladnění, vždy dodržujte při plnění a manipulaci s
palivem bezpečné postupy.
3. Nikdy neskladujte stroj (obsahující palivo) v uzavřených, špatně větraných prostorech. Výpary paliva
mohou putovat vzduchem ke zdrojům vznícení (např.
ke spalovacímu kotli, ohřívači vody apod.) a vyvolat
explozi. Výpary paliva jsou také toxické pro lidi a
zvířata.

PRÁCE NA SVAZÍCH
Svahy jsou hlavním faktorem při vzniku nehod způsobených
ztrátou kontroly nad strojem a jeho převrácením, při kterých
může dojít k vážným úrazům nebo usmrcení Práce na
jakýchkoli svazích vyžaduje zvýšenou opatrnost. Pokud do
svahu nedokážete vycouvat, nebo pokud se na něm cítíte
nejistě, nepracujte na něm.
Jestliže trávní sekačka (ať již ruční nebo traktorová) klouže
ze svahu, nepodaří se vám nad ní znovu získat kontrolu
použitím brzdy. Hlavní příčiny ztráty kontroly jsou: nedostatečný záběr pneumatik na povrchu terénu, příliš
vysoká rychlost, nedostatečné brždění, použití stroje
nevhodného pro daný účel, nedostatečná pozornost na
stav terénu, nesprávné připojování návěsů a nesprávné rozložení váhy stroje.
1. Sekejte trávu na svazích vždy pouze směrem nahoru
nebo dolů, ne napříč vůči sklonu svahu.
2. Dávejte pozor na propadliny, vyježděné koleje a
terénní hrby. Nerovný terén může způsobit převrácení
stroje. Vysoká tráva může zakrývat překážky.
3. Zvolte pomalou rychlost, abyste se při jízdě po svahu
nemuseli zastavovat nebo měnit rychlostní stupně.
4. Nejezděte se strojem po mokré trávě. Pneumatiky
mohou ztratit záběr.
5. Vždy jezděte se zařazeným rychlostním stupněm,
zvláště při jízdě dolů ze svahu. Nezařazujte neutrál
pro jízdu ze svahu na "volnoběh".
6. Nestartujte, nevypínejte a neotáčejte stroj na svahu.
Jestliže pneumatiky ztrácejí záběr, vypojte pohon
nože(ů) a sjíždějte pomalu v přímém směru ze svahu.
7. Udržujte všechny pohyby na svahu pomalé a plynulé.
Neměňte náhle rychlost ani směr jízdy, což by mohlo
způsobit převrácení stroje.
8. Buďte zvláště opatrní při provozu strojů se sběrnými
koši nebo jiným příslušenstvím, které může ovlivnit jejich stabilitu. Nepoužívejte je na strmých svazích.
9. Nepokoušejte se stroj stabilizovat tím, že se budete
nohou opírat o zem (u traktorových sekaček).
10. Nesekejte trávu v blízkosti srázů, příkopů nebo okrajů
náspů. Pokud kolo stroje sjede přes okraj srázu nebo
příkopu, nebo pokud se okraj sesune, může se stroj
převrátit.
11. Nepoužívejte sběrné koše na strmých svazích.
12. Nepracujte na svazích, do kterých nedokážete vycouvat.
13. Požádejte svého pověřeného prodejce o doporučení
ohledně závaží nebo protizávaží kol pro zvýšení stability stroje.
14. Odstraňte z pracovního prostoru překážky, jako jsou
kameny, větve apod.
15. Používejte pomalou rychlost. Pneumatiky mohou na
svahu ztratit záběr dokonce i tehdy, kdy správně fungují brzdy.
16. Neotáčejte se na svazích, pokud to není zcela
nezbytné; v takovém případě se otáčejte pomalu a
plynule ve směru dolů ze svahu.
PŘÍVĚSNÁ ZAŘÍZENÍ (TRAKTOROVÉ
SEKAČKY)
1. K tahání používejte pouze stroj, který je vybaven
2. Řiďte se doporučeními výrobce zařízení pro hmotnostní
tažným zařízením určeným výslovně pro tahání.
Nepřipojujte přívěsná zařízení k jiným částem stroje,
ale pouze k tažnému zařízení.
limity přívěsných zařízení a tahání na svazích.
VAROVÁNÍ
Nikdy nepoužívejte stroj na svazích se stoupáním vyšším
než 17,6 procent (10°), což představuje vertikální
zvýšení terénu o 106 cm na 607 cm horizontální délky.
Při práci na svazích používejte přídavná závaží nebo
protizávaží pro kola. Požádejte svého prodejce o
informace o tom, která závaží jsou k dispozici a
vhodná pro váš stroj.
Před jízdou do svahu zvolte pomalou rychlost. Má-li
váš stroj instalován sběrný koš v zadní části, pracujte
na svazích se zvýšenou opatrností i tehdy, když máte
instalována přední závaží.
Sekejte trávu pouze při jízdě svahem směrem NAHORU a DOLŮ, nikdy napříč svahu; buďte opatrní při
změnách směru jízdy a NESTARTUJTE A NEVYPÍNEJTE STROJ NA SVAHU.
3. Nikdy nedovolte dětem ani jiným osobám jízdu na
přívěsném zařízení.
4. Hmotnost přívěsného zařízení může na svahu způsobit ztrátu záběru kol a kontroly nad strojem.
5. Jezděte pomalu a počítejte s delší brzdnou dráhou stroje.
6. Nezařazujte neutrál pro jízdu ze svahu na "volnoběh".
DĚTI
Pokud obsluha stroje nedává pozor na přítomnost dětí, může
dojít k tragické nehodě. Děti často přitahuje jak samotný
stroj, tak činnost při sekání trávy. Nikdy nespoléhejte na to,
že děti zůstanou tam, kde jste je viděli naposledy.
1. Zajistěte, aby děti byly mimo pracovní prostor a pod
soustavným dohledem zodpovědné dospělé osoby.
2. Buďte opatrní; jestliže se dítě dostane do pracovního
prostoru, vypněte stroj.
3. Před jízdou i během jízdy vzad se vždy dívejte směrem
dolů a dozadu tak, abyste mohli uvidět malé děti.
4. Nikdy na stroji nevozte děti - dokonce ani tehdy, když
je pohon nože(ů) vypojen. Mohou se stroje spadnout
a utrpět vážný úraz, nebo vám překážet při bezpečném
provozu stroje. Děti, které jste někdy předtím vozili na
stroji, se k němu mohou náhle přiblížit s úmyslem dát
se znovu povozit tehdy, kdy to nečekáte - a vy je
můžete při jízdě vpřed nebo vzad přejet.
5. Nikdy nedovolte dětem používat tento stroj.
6. Buďte mimořádně opatrní, když se přibližujete k
rohům budov, keřům, stromům, nebo jiným objektům
zhoršujícím viditelnost.
KOUŘOVÉ ZPLODINY
1. Výfukové zplodiny tohoto stroje obsahují chemické
látky, o nichž je známo, že v určitých množstvích
vyvolávají rakovinu, vrozené vady u novorozenců nebo
jiná poškození lidských reprodukčních funkcí.
2. Informace o době, po kterou motor vyhovuje předpisům o zplodinách a informace o indexu vzdušných
zplodin (Emissions Durability Period and Air Index)
jsou uvedeny na štítku motoru.

nálepky na stroji; jsou-li poškozeny, instalujte nové.
11. Neprovádějte demontáž palivového flitru v době, kdy
je motor horký; benzin se může vznítit. Neuvolňujte
spony hadic vedení paliva více, než kolik je to nezbytné.
Po instalaci nového filtru spony hadic opět pevně utáhněte.
12. Nepoužívejte benzin obsahující METANOL, benzin ve
směsi s více než 10% ETANOLU, přísady do benzinu,
nebo technický benzin - může dojít k poškození motoru nebo palivového systému.
13. Pokud musíte vypustit palivovou nádrž, je nutno to
provést na otevřeném prostranství.
14. Pokud dojde k poruše tlumiče výfuku, instalujte nový

následek nebezpečný provoz, poškození stroje a
zrušení výrobcovy záruky.
19. Buďte opatrní při manipulaci s žacím ústrojím s více
noži - otáčení jedním nožem uvede do pohybu také
ostatní nože.
20. Neměňte nastavení regulátoru motoru a nenastavujte
motor na nadměrně vysoké otáčky. Motor běžící v
příliš vysokých otáčkách může zvýšit nebezpečí úrazu.
21. Vypojte pohon příslušenství, zastavte motor, vytáhněte
klíček ze spínače zapalování a odpojte kabel(y) od
svíček, jestliže: čistíte ucpané příslušenství nebo výstupní otvory, provádíte servis, narazili jste na předmět,
nebo jestliže stroj abnormálně vibruje. Pokud jste
narazili na jakýkoli předmět, zkontrolujte, zda stroj není
poškozen a před jeho nastartováním a další činností
proveďte nezbytnou opravu.
22. Jestliže je stroj v činnosti, nikdy nepokládejte ruce do
blízkosti pohybujících se součástí, např. chladicího
větráku čerpadla hydrostatické převodovky. (Chladicí
větráky čerpadla hydrostatické převodovky jsou typicky umístěny nad nápravou.)
23. Stroje s hydraulickými čerpadly, hadicemi a motory:
VÝSTRAHA: Hydraulická kapalina unikající pod tlakem
může proniknout pokožkou a způsobit vážný úraz.
Cizí kapalinu vstříknutou pod pokožku musí do několika hodin chirurgicky odstranit lékař, obeznámený s tímto
typem zranění - jinak hrozí nebezpečí vzniku gangrény.
Udržujte své tělo a ruce stranou od drobných otvorů
nebo trysek, ze kterých uniká hydraulická kapalina
pod vysokým tlakem. Při hledání míst úniku kapaliny
použijte kus papíru nebo lepenky, nikoli své ruce. Před
natlakováním systému se ujistěte, že jsou všechny
spoje vedení hydraulické kapaliny utaženy a že jsou
hydraulické hadice a vedení v dobrém stavu. Pokud
dochází k úniku kapaliny, okamžitě požádejte
pověřeného prodejce o zajištění opravy stroje.
24. VÝSTRAHA: Zařízení s akumulovanou energií. Nesprávné
uvolnění pružin může způsobit vážný úraz. Pružiny
musí demontovat kvalifikovaný pověřený technik.
25. Modely vybavené chladičem motoru: VÝSTRAHA: Zařízení s akumulovanou energií. Abyste předešli
vážnému úrazu opařením horkým chladivem nebo
vytrysklou párou, nikdy se nepokoušejte sejmout
uzávěr chladiče v době, kdy je motor v činnosti. Zastavte motor a počkejte, až vychladne. I pak při snímání
uzávěru postupujte velmi opatrně.
