Safety Instructions
OPERATING
1. Operate the machine only in daylight or in
good articial light with good visibility of areas
being mowed.
2. Sit on the seat when starting the engine and
operating the machine. Keep feet on the deck
footrests at all times when the tractor is moving
and/or the mower blades are operating. Never
operate the tractor without a deck or implement installed.
3. For a beginning operator, learn to steer (maneuver) the tractor with a slow engine speed
before attempting any mowing operation.
Be aware that, with the front mounted mower
conguration, the back of the machine swings
to the outside during turns.
DANGER
Do not operate around overhanging tree
branches or bushes at the same height as
the operator’s torso and head where inadvertent contact may cause injury.
7. Do not operate machine if the operator presence safety switch system is not working.
Verify proper operation by having the operator
lift off the seat with the engine running and moving three controls, one at a time; (1) Move the
FSC lever out of the NEUTRAL-PARK position,
(2) Engage the PTO Clutch, and (3) Disengage
the Parking Brake. Moving any of these controls should stop the engine after a 1/2 second
delay.
8. Do not run the engine in a conned area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes
are hazardous and can be deadly.
9. Do not carry passengers - maximum seating
capacity is one (1) person.
10. Watch for holes, rocks, and roots in the terrain
and for other hidden hazards. When mowing
tall grass, mow higher than desired to expose
any hidden obstacles. Then, clean the area
and mow to the desired height.
11. Avoid sudden starts or stops. Before back-
ing the machine up, look to the rear to be sure
no one is behind the machine. Watch carefully
for trafc when crossing or working near roadways.
4. Remember, for an emergency stop, the forward
motion of the tractor can always be stopped by
pulling the Forward Speed Control (FSC) into
the NEUTRAL-PARK position.
5. In case either of the transmission drive belts
break during operation, and if the machine is on
a slope, the machine will freewheel down the
slope. To maintain control, immediately (1)
Release the steering levers and simultaneously
(2) Move the FSC to the NEUTRAL-PARK po-
sition. When the machine is stopped or moving
slowly, engage the parking brake.
NOTE: The emergency stop procedure is exactly the same procedure used to normally stop
and park the machine.
6. Disengage the PTO clutch and put the FSC in
the NEUTRAL-PARK position before starting
the engine (an ignition interlock switch normally
prevents starting of the tractor if these controls
are in the OPERATING position).
12. When moving forward, do not suddenly put the
tractor in reverse by rapidly pulling on the steering levers, especially when going downhill, as
this can lift the tractor tail wheel off the ground
and set up a bucking motion due to operator
overcontrol. If bucking does occur, immediately
stop the bucking action by pulling the Forward
Speed Control (FSC) lever into the NEUTRAL-PARK position.
13. Disengage the blade drive when transporting
the machine across drives, sidewalks, etc. Nev-
er raise the mower deck while blades are
rotating.
DANGER
Do not mow or dump grass within 5 feet
(1.5 meters) of an embankment or retaining
wall with drop off.
6
Safety Instructions
14. The maximum recommended slope operating angle is 15 degrees or 26% grade. When
operating the machine on a slope, reduce speed
and use caution to start, stop, and maneuver.
To prevent tipping or loss of control of the machine, avoid sharp turns or sudden changes in
direction. Do not operate the machine on a
slope greater than 15 degrees.
15. Never adjust cutting height with the engine
running. Before adjusting cutting height or
servicing, disengage the blade clutch (PTO),
stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.
Wait for all movement to stop before getting off
the seat.
NOTE: A blade/blower brake should normally
stop drive line rotation within ve (5) seconds of
disengaging the PTO clutch.
16. For side discharge mower decks, do not oper-ate with the grass deector shield removed.Keep the deector in the lowest possible position.
17. When using the tilt-up deck, observe the fol-
lowing:
a. Do not move tractor with deck in tilt-up
position.
b. Never tilt body forward with deck in tilt-up
position.
18. For GHS equipped models, do not operate the
machine with the grass catcher in the DUMP
position or with the back door OPEN. Dan-
gerous projectiles may be thrown out of the discharge chute or the back of the grass catcher.
20. If the cutting blades strike a solid object or the
machine begins to vibrate abnormally, immedi-
ately disengage the blade clutch (PTO), stop
the engine, and wait for all moving parts to
stop. To prevent accidental starting, discon-
nect the spark plug wires. Thoroughly inspect
the mower and repair any damage before restarting the engine and operating the mower.
Make sure cutter blades are in good condition
and blade nuts are torqued to 60 lb·ft (81 N·m)
for gear driven decks, and blade bolts torqued
to 70 lb·ft (95 N·m) for belt driven decks.
21. Do not touch the engine or mufer while
the engine is running or immediately after
stop ping the engine. These areas may be hot
enough to cause serious burns.
22. When leaving the machine unattended, disen-
gage the blade clutch (PTO), stop the engine, and remove the key.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HI-DUMP® OPERATION
1. When operating the Hi-Dump®, the operator
should be in the seat with feet on the footrests,
the FSC in NEUTRAL-PARK position and the

Operating Instructions
HI-DUMP® OPERATION
The operator raises and dumps the GHS catcher
box while sitting in the seat. Two toggle switches
operate independent hydraulic cylinders to raise,
lower, and dump the catcher. The back door automatically opens and closes during the dump cycle.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON (RUN)
position for the Hi-Dump® system to operate.

(Lift)
(+) Auxiliary
Power Terminal
NOTE: With the Hi-Dump® mechanism in the nor-
mal operating position (catcher down), the catcher
can be manually raised. In the case of a dead
battery, use the auxiliary power terminals to charge/
boost the battery to operate the Hi-Dump®.
CAUTION
The operator should be in the seat with the
machine in the NEUTRAL-PARK Position
and the parking brake engaged and bystanders stay clear when the Hi-Dump® is
operating. To avoid tipping over, the
machine should be parked on LEVEL
GROUND when raising/dumping the catcher with Hi-Dump®. Do not attempt to use
the optional dump bag or any other bag
with the Hi-Dump®.

switch UP to DUMP the catcher and DOWN to return to the normal operating position. The catcher
may be dumped at any raised position (Normal Operating - Intermediate - Fully Raised).
NOTE: If grass tends to hang up in the catcher
after raising the catcher with the Hi-Dump®, “jiggle”
the steering levers and make the tractor bounce a
little to unstick the grass and make it slide out of the
catcher.
When the Hi-Dump® is in the RAISED position for access to the engine and drivetrain,
always ENGAGE the safety lock before service or repair work. Remember to DISENGAGE the lock before resuming operation
of the Hi-Dump® (to avoid damaging the
lock mechanism).

Maintenance Instructions
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
To check the oil in the hydraulic power unit, remove
the plug from the unit and insert an allen wrench (as
a dipstick) until it touches the reservoir mounting bolt
that runs through the center of the reservoir. Oil level should be approximately 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. above
the bolt. To add hydraulic oil, use Chevron Rykon
Premium Oil ISO 68 or equivalent. System capacity
is 32 oz. (.95 liters)*.
NOTE: To completely ll, or rell, the hydraulic
system, DO NOT ll with 32 oz. initially. When ll-
ing, add about 22 oz., operate the system and allow
oil to ow throughout the system. Then, continue
lling the reservoir with the additional 10 oz.
LUBRICATION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lubricate the machine
with the tractor engine running. Disengage
the PTO clutch, shut off the machine, and
remove the ignition key.
Proper lubrication is an important maintenance procedure. It reduces wear and makes the machine
quieter and easier to operate.
NOTE: Tractor Lubrication Points are not shown
here. For Tractor Lubrication Points, refer to your
Tractor’s Operator’s Manual. If you do not have an
Operator’s Manual, you can download a copy at
www.walker.com.
* 32 oz (0.95 liters) is capacity if system is completely empty
