DANGER: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS
CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND
FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE
TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Machines
WARNING: In order to prevent accidental
starting when setting up, transporting,
adjusting or making repairs, always
disconnect spark plug wire and place wire
where it can not contact spark plug.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.
WARNING: Tow only the attachments that
are recommended by and comply with
VSHFL´FDWLRQVRIWKHPDQXIDFWXUHURI\RXU
tractor. Use common sense when towing.
Operate only at the lowest possible speed
when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while
on a slope, is dangerous. Tyres can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to
lose control of your tractor.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents and certain vehicle components
contain or emit chemicals which may cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals which may cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
• Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over 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 mow it.
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tyres may lose traction.
Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
tyres lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over
the edge or if the edge caves in.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down for small
children.
• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe
machine 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.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
• Never operate machine in a closed area.
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel
soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
running.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's
recommended parts, when necessary.
• Machine blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as required.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe machine 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.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
• Mow up and down slopes (10° Max), not across.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to
stop or shift while on the slope.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
tyres lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.

grass, leaves, grease and oil before storing.
• Tighten all loose nuts, bolts and screws before you use
the unit.
• Empty and clean any grass catcher or other accessory.
• Remove the key or disconnect the spark plug wire to
prevent unauthorized use.
• Make sure the machine is not kept near a source of
ignition. Gas fumes can cause an explosion.
• Only original parts or factory approved substitutes can be
used to service the machine.
• When storing the machine for an extended period, remove
the fuel from the fuel tank.

Each person that operates power equipment must learn
to use correct and safe mowing procedures. To help you
learn, carefully read the following pages. Most of the time
the operator was not correctly shown or did not read the
instructions on the unit or in the Instruction Manual before
using the unit. Also, some operators do not have enough
experience. The result is unsafe use, endangering the
operator, bystanders and the equipment. Another result
can be a poor appearance of the area mowed.
Read this manual.
Read the instructions on the unit. Operate the mower
according to the Safe Mowing Guide. Follow all safety
rules, cautions or warnings in this manual and on the unit.
Make sure anyone that uses the unit reads the instructions
and is told how to safely operate the mower. The mower
will give you good service and durability, if operated in
normal conditions. If the mower is not correctly serviced
or is used where the terrain is rough or unsuitable,
product performance and safety will be decreased.
• Correct clothing is an important part of safe mowing.
Safety glasses will protect the eyes from objects
discharged by the mower. Safety shoes with steel
plates can protect a foot from injury by the blade.
For protection from objects discharged from the
mower, wear clothing that will cover the arms and legs.
• Before you start cutting the grass, practice using the
mower in a large open and level area. Learn the location
of the controls on the mower. Know the purpose of the
controls and how they work. In an emergency, how fast
you can stop the blade is important. Learn how to
control the mower at all times.
• For electric start engines, sit in the seat to start the
engine. The battery can be dangerous. Follow the
instructions on the battery, the acid container, and in
this manual when working with the battery. Even small
batteries have enough voltage to cause an injury.
Always be careful.
• The mower is designed to be operated by one person.
Never let another person ride with you on the unit or on
any accessories. A passenger will make the unit harder
to control, block the visibility or distract the operator
and is dangerous to the operator, the passenger and the
equipment. Without a passenger seat, the passenger
can fall from the mower or contact dangerous parts.
A mower is not a toy for showing off or for giving rides.
• Never cut a wet lawn. Wet grass can cause an accident,
affect mower performance and can cause problems
with future lawn growth and appearance. Wet grass is
slippery and can cause the mower to slip. Someone can
get injured by touching the blade(s). Wet grass tends
to clog the mower, causing poor discharge. Cut wet
grass will collect on the lawn, retarding the growth of
the grass. Also, getting the mower wet will cause parts
to rust and decrease the life of the unit.
Steps to follow Additional safety rules for ride on mowers

• When you look over the lawn, remember to look for
obstacles that cannot be removed, like pipes, stumps or
rocks. Keep away from these obstacles that can cause
damage to the mower or injury to the operator or a
person near the mower. Clear the area of rocks, toys,
wire or other loose objects. These items can damage the
mower or can be discharged by the mower blade.
• The blade of a power mower rotates very fast. It can
discharge rocks and other objects over a long distance
which can be dangerous. The force of the objects can
break windows, cause injuries or even put an eye out.
Most of the time the injury is to a person, like a child.
Keep every person completely away from the area to
be mowed. Make sure the grass is not discharged
toward anyone. Planning your mowing pattern has a
double advantage. It can decrease the possibility of an
injury and make the clean up after mowing easier.
• Check the terrain of the area to be mowed. Mow in a
pattern that will keep you away from dangerous areas.
Check the distance you need to stop and the distance
available to turn. Slopes and rough terrain must be
mowed carefully and some areas must not be mowed
at all. With riding mowers, mow up and down the hill.
When you must mow rough terrain or on slopes, never
change directions or change gears and stop in these
areas only in an emergency. Before you ride up or down
a slope, try to back straight up the slope. Do not ride up
or down a slope that is too steep to back straight up.
Refer to page 13 of this manual to check any slopes.
• Before you start cutting, make sure the mower was
completely assembled according to the Instruction
Manual. If the mower was completely assembled at the
store, you must still check the mower according to the
assembly instructions. Make sure the mower is correctly
assembled and that all fasteners are tight. Make sure the
engine has the correct amount of oil. Check these items
often during the life of the mower.
• Your mower has a gasoline engine. Gasoline is a
dangerous fuel. Keep gasoline only in an approved safety
gasoline container. Do not keep large amounts of gasoline.
When you add gasoline to the fuel tank, do not smoke.
Store the gasoline container and the mower in an area
that has good ventilation. Also, keep the gasoline away
IURPDQ\µDPHVOLNHWKHSLORWOLJKWRIDIXUQDFHRUDQ\
other source of ignition. If the mower is to be stored for
more than a few weeks, remove the gasoline from the
fuel tank. When inside an enclosure, do not add gasoline
to the fuel tank. Before you add gasoline, move the
mower outside and add gasoline carefully. Before you
start the engine, remove any gasoline from the outside
of the fuel tank or from the mower. Warm gasoline will
expand. Leave some space in the fuel tank for the
gasoline to expand. Also, the fuel cap has a vent hole for
fuel vapors. Always use the correct fuel cap. Failure to
IROORZVDIHW\UXOHVDERXWJDVROLQHZLOOFDXVH´UHVDQG
explosions, injury to you and damage to the equipment
and other property.
• If you add gasoline to an engine that is running or hot,
the result can be an explosion. Before you add gasoline,
stop the engine and let the engine cool for several
minutes. Remove dry grass and other debris from the
mower. Keep the mower clean to improve the
performance, help the engine and transmission run
cooler, extend the life of moving parts, and decrease
WKHGDQJHURID´UH
• Fires and explosions are not the only dangers when
working around a mower. The engine, transmission, and
WKHPXIµHUZLOOJHWKRWLQVHYHUDOPLQXWHVZKHQWKH
engine is running. Do not touch these parts of the
mower. Stop the engine. Let the engine and transmission
cool before servicing the mower. Remember, exhaust
fumes are dangerous. Never operate the engine inside a
building.
• When you get a new mower, it can be a new experience
for the family. Tell each person how a mower can be
dangerous. Remember, a mower is not a toy. A mower
is not to be used by children or anyone not old enough,
strong enough or that does not have experience.
• If the mower is not correctly assembled, not operated
correctly, or not regularly serviced, the mower can be
dangerous. The most important rule to follow is always
use good judgment and common sense. Mow safely
and carefully.
• Your mower when in operation is extremely
dangerous. Fingers, feet and other parts can be cut by
the blade. Injuries occur when the operator does not
think and reaches into the chute opening. Always
operate the mower as if the blade is rotating. Do not
service or make an adjustment, except to the
carburetor, while the engine is running.
• Use only accessories that are factory approved for your
mower. The wrong accessory can decrease the safety
of the mower and can even damage the unit. Read and
follow the instructions included with the accessory and
the mower.
• Use only original equipment or replacement parts that
are factory approved for service. If you need service,
select an Authorized Service Center for your mower. If
you do the work on the unit, follow the instructions in
the Instruction Manual.
• When you mow, remember that children are attracted
to the mower. Always use caution when mowing around
obstacles like trees or shrubs or when moving backward.
Only mow in a forward direction if possible. Your
visibility is decreased when you mow backward. Also,
the blades are made to cut while the unit is moving
forward. If you mow backward, the cutting performance
decreases.

• Before you leave the mower, stop the engine. Remove
the key. Disengage and lower any attachment. Set the
parking brake. Never mount or dismount from the seat
while the engine is running. An accident can occur if you
touch the brake, shift lever, throttle, and clutch or blade
control while the engine is running.
• Make sure you are in good condition when you mow.

decrease and your mind will not be as alert. Take a short
break or an accident can occur. If the temperature is hot,
use caution to prevent dehydration. If you are tired, angry
or not completely alert, do not operate the mower. If you
use alcohol, medication or drugs, do not use the mower
or any type of power equipment.

dry, protect your eyes with safety glasses from the dust
and from the objects discharged by the mower. Also, a
dust or a pollen mask can help.
• Your mower is equipped with a number of safety devices
which are important to the safety of the operator and
bystanders and must never be changed or removed from
the mower. If a safety device is lost, damaged or no longer
functions, repair or replace the device before you operate
the mower.
•It is best to mow during the day. If you must mow at night,
make sure there is enough light for safe operation.
• Your mower will require regular maintenance and service.
The maintenance schedule depends on the hours of use.
Also, mowing conditions can change the schedule. Check
the Instruction Manual for more information. Correct
maintenance will help the mower function safely.
• Do not service the mower (except for the carburetor
adjustment) while the engine is running. Before you
service the unit, even with the engine stopped, always
disconnect the wire from the spark plug to prevent the
engine from starting.
• If you hit a large object during operation, stop the
engine. Remove the wire from the spark plug. Carefully
inspect the mower for damage. Before you start the
engine again, make the necessary repairs. If you feel
QHZRUH[FHVVLYHYLEUDWLRQLPPHGLDWHO\VWRSWKHHQJLQH
and check for the problem. Vibration can be a warning
of a problem. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
• The blade is the most dangerous part of the mower.
Frequently check the blade and the blade mounting
fasteners. Keep the fasteners tight. If the blade hits a
solid object, stop the engine. Remove the wire from
the spark plug. Check for a blade that is bent, cracked
or for other damages. Before you start the engine,
replace a damaged blade(s). For safety, replace the
blade every two years.
• A sharp blade decreases the workload on the engine
and more evenly cuts grass. Frequently sharpen the
blade for a better looking cut. Ensure to use every side
of the mower housing to trim near an object.
• A grass bagger is a good accessory for your mower.
For best performance and safety, make sure the grass
bagger is approved for use with your mower. Follow
the assembly and operation instructions included with
the grass bagger.
• Some grass baggers require a special blade for best
performance. Before you attach, check, or empty the
grass bagger, always stop the engine. Before each use
of the grass bagger, check for cracks, wear or
deterioration. Before you use the grass bagger, replace
a damaged part with a replacement part approved by
the factory.
• For you to have a good green lawn, follow the mowing
procedures below. Do not cut the grass too short. If you
cut the grass too short you can cause the grass to
become yellow or make the lawn look brown. Use a
lower height of cut in cool months when the grass is
thicker. Raise the height of cut in hot dry periods. If you
cut the grass with a blade that is not sharp or at a slow
engine speed you can damage the grass. Move the
throttle control to the FAST position when mowing and
using the grass bagger. Also, use a proper ground
speed when using the grass catcher.
• If you change the direction or pattern of cut slightly
every time you mow will make the grass grow stronger
and thicker. Do not add oil or gasoline to the mower
while on the lawn. Spilled oil or gasoline can kill the
grass. In high or thick grass, do not try to cut all the

Another way is to cut only part of the width of the
mower and decrease your ground speed (not the
engine) to move more slowly so that the mower can
discharge the grass as it moves forward.

OPERATION
Locatios of Controls
Understanding your Controls
IMPORTANT: When operating a lawn tractor
it can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Therefore, it is critical that the
operator always wears safety glasses or eye
shields while operating the tractor or
performing any adjustments or repairs. We
recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.
IMPORTANT: Put the lawn tractor into
operation only at an open ventilated area
as the engine exhalations are toxic.
IMPORTANT: Become familiar with the
operation of controls before you start
the lawn tractor.
Always operate engine at full throttle. The throttle
control is used to increase or decrease the speed of the
engine.
1. For normal operation and when using a grass catcher,
move the throttle control to the FAST position. For
maximum charging of the battery and for a cooler
running engine, operate the engine in the FAST
position.
a. When operating the engine at less than full
throttle, it reduces the battery charging rate.
b. Full throttle offers the best bagging and
mower performance.
2. For transport and to tow pull behind attachments,
move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
3. The engine governor is set at the factory for
maximum performance. Do not adjust the governor
to increase the speed of the engine.
WARNING: Always keep your hands and

opening, and the mower housing when
the engine is running.

1. Before you start the engine, make sure the blade
engagement lever is in the DISENGAGE position.
2. Move the blade engagement lever to the ENGAGE
position to rotate the blade(s).
NOTE: If the engine stops when you engage the
blade(s), the seat switch is not activated. Make sure
you sit in the middle of the seat. Also, make sure the
wire is connected to the seat switch.
3. Move the blade engagement lever to the DISENGAGE
position to stop the blade(s). Before you leave the
operator’s position, make sure the blade(s) has
stopped rotating.

• The position of the attachment lift lever determines the
cutting height. The cutting height range is approximately
3 cm to 9 cm.
• The heights are measured from the ground to the blade
tip with the engine not running. These heights are
approximate and may vary depending upon soil
conditions, height of grass and types of grass being
mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 3.6 cm
during the cool season and up to 9 cm during hot months.
For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and
after moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over 15 cm in height
