SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
Your riding mowerwas built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type
of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. If you violate any
of these rules, you may cause serious injury to yourself or others.
General Operation
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the
manual and on the machine before starting. Keep
this manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
• Only allow responsible individuals familiar with the
instructions to operate the machine. Know controls
and how to stop the machine quickly.
• Do not put hands or feet under cutting deck or near
rotating parts.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the
blade. A small object may have been overlooked
and could be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction and cause injury to you or a
bystander. To help avoid a thrown objects injury,
keep children, bystanders and helpers at least 75
feet from the mower while it is in operation. Always
wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation or while performing an adjustment or
repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects. Stop
the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks or
roads.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Never carry passengers.
• Disengageblade(s)beforeshifting into reverse and
backing up. Always look down and behind before
and while backing.
• Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge
direction and donot point it at anyone. Do not
operate the mower without either the entire grass
catcher or the chute guard in place.
• Slow down before turning. Operate the machine
smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and excessive
speed.
• Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always turn off blade(s), place transmission in
neutral, set park brake, stop engine and remove
key before dismounting.
• Turn off blade(s) when not mowing.
• Stop engine and wait until blade(s) comes to a
complete stop before (a) removing grass catcher or
unclogging chute, or (b) making any repairs,
adjusting or removing any grass or debris.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Do not operate the machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.Watch for traffic when
operating near or crossing roadways.
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck. This unit should not
be driven up or down a ramp onto a trailer or truck
under power,because the unit could tip over,
causing serious personal injury. The unit must be
pushed manually on a ramp to load or unload
properly.
• Never make cutting height adjustment while engine
is running, if operator must dismount to do so.
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-
fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals, or
sneakers.
• Check overhead clearance carefully before driving
under power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging
tree branches,before entering or leaving buildings,
or in any other situation where the operator may be
struck or pulled from the unit, which could result in
serious injury.
• Disengage all attachment clutches, thoroughly
depress the brake pedal, and shift into neutral
before attempting to start engine.
• Your mower is designed to cut normal residential
grass of a height no more than 10". Do not attempt
to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g.,
pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up
on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust
presenting a potential fire hazard.
WARNING: This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could
endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this
manual before attempting to operate your Riding Mower. Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in personal injury. When you see this symbol—heed its warning.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, andcertain vehicle components contain or
emit chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Slope Operation
• Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents which can result in severe
injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy
on it, do not mow it.
• For your safety,use the slope gauge included as
part of this manual to measure slopes before
operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the
slope is greater than 15° as shown on the slope
gauge, do not operate this unit in that area or
serious injury could result.
Do:
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low enough gear so that
you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Always keep machine in gear when going down
slopes to take advantage of engine braking action.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
• Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine.
• Keepallmovementonthe slopes slow andgradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Rapid engagementor braking could cause the front
ofthe machine toliftandrapidly flipoverbackwards
which could cause serious injury.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction,disengagetheblade(s)andproceedslowly
straight down the slope.
Do Not:
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments.Themowercouldsuddenlyturnover
if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground.
• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
Children
• 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
watchful care of an adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the
area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down
for small children.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine
operation.
• Never allow children under 14 years old to operate
the machine. Children 14 years and over should
only operate machine under close parental
supervision and proper instruction.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure
your vision of a child or other hazard.
• Remove key when machine is unattended to
prevent unauthorized operation.
Service
• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.
a. Use only an approved container.
b. Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool at least
two minutes before refueling.
c. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe off any
spilled fuel before starting the engine as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
d. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
e. Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel
vapors will accumulate in the area.
f. Never store the fuel container or machine
inside where there is an open flameor spark,
such as a gas hot water heater, space heater
or furnace.
• Never run a machine inside a closed area.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep the machine free of
grass, leaves or other debris build-up. Clean up oil
or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool at least 5
minutes before storing.
• Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make
certain the blade and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep
the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
• Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., excessive
wear, bent, cracked). Replace with blade which
meets original equipment specifications.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Use all guards as
instructed in this manual.

5
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
removethe wire from the spark plug and thoroughly
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the
damage before restarting and operating the mower.
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear,
damage and deterioration, which could expose
movingparts or allowobjectsto be thrown.Foryour
safety protection, frequently check components
and replace with manufacturer’s recommended
parts when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blade(s)or wearglovesand use extracautionwhen
servicing blade(s).
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service as required.
• Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot during
operationand can cause a burn. Allow to cooldown
before touching.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds
are dangerous.
• Observe proper disposal laws and regulations.
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm
the environment and the ecology.
a. Prior to disposal, determine the proper method
to dispose of waste from your local office of
Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling
centers are established to properly dispose of
materials in an environmentally safe fashion.
b. Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
Properly dispose of the containers immediately
following the draining of fluids.
c. DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground,
down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or
other body of water. Observe Environmental
Protection Agency regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries,
tires and other harmful waste.

Safety Interlock
This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system for
your protection. The interlock safety switches are
connected to the brake pedal, the blade engagement
pedal, the shift lever, and the seat.
The purpose of the safety interlock system is threefold:
a. to prevent the engine from starting unless the
brake pedal is depressed and the blade
engagement pedal is disengaged;
b. to shut off the engine if the blade pedal is not
disengaged when the shift leveris put into
reverse; and
c. to shut the engine off when the operator leaves
the seat without engaging the parking brake.
• Remove objects that could be thrown by the
blade(s).
• Know location and function of all controls.
• Be sure blade(s) and engine are stopped before
placing hands or feet near blade(s).
• Before leaving operator's position, disengage
blade(s), place the shift lever in neutral, engage
parking brake, shut engine off and remove key.
Using Shift Lever
This lever is used to regulate
direction of the riding mower. It
canbe setatforward,neutral,or
reversesettings. These settings
are marked F, N, and R
respectively on the unit.This
unit is designed not to mow
when the shift lever is in R
position.
• Before you move the shift
lever to any of the positions, depress the brake
pedaland stop theunit.Keepyour foot on thebrake
pedal.
• The shift lever is locked at the N position. Move the
lever outwards (left) and slide the lever upward to F
or downward to R position as desired.
NOTE: Look at the rear and make sure the path is free
of obstacles before positioning the shift lever to the
reverse.
• Do not force the shift lever. If it does not shift,
release the brake pedal slightly to line up the
shifting collar in the transmission, then try to move
the shift lever.
Slowly release the brake pedal and take your foot off
the pedal. Always make sure that there is no one in the
way when you run the equipment.
Grass Fill Level Indicator
This indicator was designed
to add convenience to your
riding mower. While the
mower is running, air will flow
through the discharge chute
and into the grass catcher. If
the grass catcher is empty,
air flows through easily
pushing the ball up. If the
grass catcher is full, air does
not flow through it causing the ball to fall. So if you see
the ball in the grass fill level indicator falling down, you
should stop the mower and empty the bag.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious
injury, do not operate the riding mower if the
interlock system is malfunctioning.

Figure 8
Using the Riding Mower
Observe safety rules listed on pages 3-5 of this manual
for safe operation of your mower.
• Before mowing, make sure that the cutting deck is
leveled. For deck adjustment, refer to page 14.
• You can engage the blade by pressing onthe blade
engagement pedal with your left foot while sitting
on the operator’s seat.
• The recommended
mowingpattern is given
here. Mow grass often
and in regular intervals
so that you can cut only
1/3of thegrassbladein
one mowing.
• When mowing an area for the first time, watch out
for objects lying on the grass. If you strike a foreign
object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark
plug and thoroughly inspect the mower for any
damage. Repair damage before operating it again.
• Avoid scalping the lawn by adjusting the cutting
height upwards and/or sharpening the blades.
• Mow at full throttle. Learn the terrain on which you
are mowing. For best mowing results, mow only
when the grass is dry.
• To empty grass bag, stop the riding mower
completely, engage the parking brake, and turn
the ignition off. This will prevent the hot engine
exhaust gas from browning the grass.
Mulching
• The mulching plug is meant to mulch grass and
recycle clippings into the lawn instead of collecting
in the grasscatcher bag.
• Mulch only when the grass is dry. Mulching wet
grass may damage the underside of the deck
because wet grass tends to stick to it. Clean deck
thoroughly if you mulch wet grass.
• For effective mulching, overlap mowing paths so
that the clippings are distributed evenly.
