SECTION6:TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Q:How do I prevent an uneven cutting pattern and increase the quality of cut?
A:Check tire pressure, check blade sharpness (replace blades or sharpen at least once per year or
when needed), make sure bladesare tightened properly, check springand belttension, check the
underside of the deck toensure the mowerdeck is freeof grassbuild-up and debris, make sure your
machine is at full throttle, and vary your mowing pattern each time you cut your grass.
6.2 Q: What should I do if my mower won’t start?
A: Check battery charge and connection (grounds),checkyour fuel(make sure fuel is less than 30
days old and contains no water), make sure your spark plug isin good condition and sparkplug wire is
attached, and make sure air filter isclean (a dirty filter makes it more difficultfor theengine to drawair).
Check the integrity of the 25-amp main fuse; also checkfor anybare wires and/orbad connections.
6.3 Q: What should I do if the blades won’t engage?
A: Make sure the safety switch is plugged inon thebottom of seat. Check the underside of thePTO
engager to ensure the plug is secureat switch.Also check PTO fuse underneath operator console (10-
amps)
6.4 Q: What type of fuel is recommended for my mower?
A: We recommend that you use a name brand fuel to ensure quality. Use fuel with an octane rating
near 87. Higher octane fuels offer no benefit. Only fuels with an ethanol content of 10%or less may be
used. By law, E-15 fuel isnot permitted. Usage of E-15 will result in premature engine failure.
6.5 Q: Do you offer touch-up paint for your mowers?
A: Touch-up paint is available. Contact your local dealer for more information.
6.6 Q: How do I clean my mower?
A: It isrecommended that you use an air hose or blower to remove dust and debris from the mower, to
ensure there is nota buildup of grass on the mower deck and engine compartment, which could
become a fire hazard. Ifyoumust wash the mower, ensure you run the engine to operating temp to dry
water and engage the blades to spin off any standing water on the pulleys. Avoid spraying water onto
electrical components and bearings to prevent premature failure of these parts.

blades sharp. Ifa dullbladeis used for cutting, the grass will tearratherthan cut. Thiscould damage
the grass leaving a brown frayed top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade will also require more
power from the engine.
10.2 NEVER attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating. NEVER attemptto weld a cracked
blade. Theblades can break and cause serious injury or death.
10.3 NEVER work with blades while engine is running or deck clutch is engaged.
10.4 ALWAYSplace deckclutch in DISENGAGE position while performing maintenance.
10.5 Use blocks when you MUST work under mower.
10.6 ALWAYS wear thick gloveswhen handling blades.
10.7 ALWAYS check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch, or other objects that could potentially
damage the blade.
(REMEMBER: NEVER CHECK BLADE WHILE ENGINE IS ON!
NEVER CHECK BLADES WHILE BLADES ARE ENGAGED!)
SECTION11:EQUIPMENTLUBRICATION
11.1 Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch.
11.2 Move the motion controllevers outward to the neutralposition, engage parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait forall moving partsto stopbefore leaving the operating position.
11.3 Grease Type: NGLI grade #2 multi-purpose gun grease.
11.4 Clean the greasefittings with a cloth.Scrapeany paint off the front of the fitting(s).
11.5 Connect a grease gun to each fitting.Pump grease into the fittinguntil grease seepage isobserved. Be
mindful of over-pressurization. Do not force the leverarm if there is strong back pressure as this can
lead to reduced life of the component(s). Wipeup excess grease.
11.6 Refer to service manual section for grease fitting locations.

HOWTOCHOOSETHERIGHTBLADE
Essentially there are only TWO basic styles of mowingblades used or approved for use on our current
products:
1. The standard style of mowing blade is essentially designed for cutting grass and effectively discharging
the clippings outfromthe deckto fallonto the lawn or to be capturedin a grass collection system.
Standardbladesare also referred to as “2-in-1” (discharging & bagging) or “high-lift” blades (because
they are designed to create a higher-lifting airflow).
2. Mulching bladesgenerally have amore curved style surface and frequentlyincludeextra cutting
surfacesalong the bladeedges. These blades mayalsocome ina “+”design (which isactually two
individual blades arranged in a perpendicular fashion toenhance mulching). The “+” blades are usually
found on older style mowers; newer onesutilize bladeswith more advanced mulching technology.
Mulching blades may also be referred to as “3-in-1” (mulching, discharging & bagging) or “all-purpose”
blades.
Bear in mind that the re-circulating airflow design of 3/1 blades makes them less efficient at discharging grass
clippings than a standard 2/1 blade.As with most all-purpose tools, there issome give and take as opposed to
using a tool designed for a more specific purpose.
If you’re experiencing less-than-desired cutting or discharging performance with a 3/1 blade,you maywant to
check into using a 2/1 blade.Conversely, if you’re usinga 2/1 blade and want to mulch clippings,you should
see about the availability ofmulching bladesor a mulching kit. *
The type of blade installedon a new mower is a decision the retailermakesfor each modelof mower,basedon
the expected needs of most customers. If you’re unsureof whichblade ison a particular model, inspect the
blade. Bladeshave partnumbers stamped into them. Then compare these part numbers with the unit’s
Operator’s Manual or Parts List.
It is true there are many other styles of blades available. But since we don’t manufacture or recommend using
these other aftermarketstyles, we will leavethem out of thisdiscussion. Should you wantmore information on
special application or aftermarket blades, you should contact thecompanies that make theseproducts. NOTE:
Customers using non-OEM blades do so at their own risk. The use of unapproved (non-OEM) blades may void
any or allof the mower and engine factory warranties.
* MULCHING KITS – These generally consist ofmulching blades and a mulching plug (which closes off the
discharge opening to keep the clippings contained under the deck for re-cutting) plus any necessary hardware
for installation. Please check with your parts distributorregarding the contentsof a particularmulching kit.

MOWINGTIPS:
•Mow header strips at the ends of the lawn and around flower beds first. Make them wide enough that you can turn the mower around
in the already mown section. Then mow backand forth between these header strips overlapping each lap by about 1/8 the width of
the mower’s deck.
•Don’t cut your grass too short, particular for cool season grasses. Higher heights usually provide for a deeper root system, looks
better, and is less likely to have weeds invading, particularly crabgrass.
•Don’t remove any more than one third of the grass leaf at any one cutting. Ifcircumstances arise that a lawn gets too tall and you just
have to lop off a bunch to get caught up, bite the bullet and break itdown into several mowings to get caught up with 3 or so days
between cuttings.
•NEVER SCALP YOUR LAWN.Scalping severely damages the root system to such a degree that it may die.
•Avoid mowing when the grass iswet or when it’s dark
•Avoid throwing grass clippings into the street and driveway where they can be washed into the sewer system. After mowing, clean up
driveway and walkways.
•When mowing remove only a third of the height of the grass with each cutting (except for the first mowing of the season when it’s ok
to remove more). You can safely leave clippings that will quickly decompose and add nutrients backinto the soil. Contrary to popular
opinion, grass clippings do not add to thatch buildup. Grass blades are made up of about 75% water.
•Mow your lawn in a different direction with each mowing, especially with lawns of shorter grass types. Altering the direction ensures a
more even cut since grass blades will grow more erect and less likely to develop into a set pattern.
•Keep your mower’s blade sharp, which means having it sharpened several times during the mowing season. Keep several blades
around so you’ll always have a sharp one on hand. Sharp blades cut the grass cleanly and help mulch clippings into small pieces
which break down quickly.
•Don’t forget to change your mower’s oilat least once during the mowing season. For brand new mowers, change the oil after about 5
hours of operation during the initial break-in period.
•At the end of the mowing season use a fuel stabilizer in the remaining gasoline
•In the spring, don’tuse that old gas unless you properly used a fuel stabilizer, itcan cause a number of problems. Better to use fresh
gasoline to begin the new mowing season.
•Leaf blade A demonstrates what a leaf blade should look like after
mowing with a sharp blade.
•Leaf blade B demonstrates a leaf blade that was injured by a dull
mower blade.
•Leaf blade C was cut by the mower but indicates that the mower blade
is not sharp enough. The shredded white tissue
protruding from the leaf blades C and D isthe vascular tissue of the
plant.
•Leaf blade D has been mown for quite some time with a dull mower blade.
The leading edge of the blade enclosure is equipped with an adjustable guard. When
the guard is set to a higher position, it allows incoming grass to remain in a more
upright position just prior to being cut. The result is a higher quality cut.
TOBAGORTOMULCH?
Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch buildup or increase the chances of
disease. If you mow your lawn at the right height, without removing any more than 1/3
of its total height, clippings will quickly breakdown without a trace. These clippings
contribute additional nitrogen and other nutrients to the soiland supply it with additional organic materials. Clippings from a 1000 sq.
ft. lawn can add as much as 1 - 2 pounds of nitrogen back into the soil. If you have a compost pile, then you may want to bag your
clippings occasionally to add much needed green-matter to the compost pile. Make sure it is mixed thoroughly with brown matter to
avoid a strong ammonia odor. DO NOT COMPOST CLIPPINGS after applying any weed control or weed-feed type product. Before
adding clippings to the compost pile wait at least 3 mowings after these products have been applied.

PURGINGPROCEDURE
Due to the effects airhas on the efficiency in hydrostatic
drive applications, it is critical that the airis purged from
the system. These purgeprocedures should be
implemented any time a hydrostatic system has been
opened to facilitate maintenance or any additional oil has
been added to the system.
1. Lift the rear tires of the mower off of the ground
using a floor jack or similar device. Chock the
front tires to keep the mower from moving.
2. Locate the bypass valve on the transaxle. On the
Outlaw extreme with 5400 transaxles, the bypass
vlave is located towards the front inside lower
portion of the unit as shown in 1A. On the
standard Outlaw with 4400 transaxles, the
bypass valve is located on top of the unit next to
the expansion tank port as shown in 1B.
3. The bypass valves on either model are opened by
turning the valve a quarter of a turn. With the
valves open, start the mower, release the parking
brake, and move the drive arms forward and
backward 10-12 times slowly. Turn off engine,
close bypass valves, and recheck oil level. Add
oil as necessary.
4. It may be necessary to repeat these steps to
completely purge all air from the system if
performance is lacking. When the unit moves
forward and backward evenly at normal speed,
the purging is complete.
When adjusting the trackingon the mower, the lengthof
the pushrods can be changed by screwing the pivot joint
in or out on the ends of the rods. Shortening the overall
length of the rod slows the pump down. Lengthening the
rod will increase the speed of the pump.
