tennis shoes, sneakers or shorts. Also, do notwear
loose fitting clothing which could get caught in
movingparts. Always wear longpants andsubstan-
tial shoes. Wearing safety glasses and safety shoes
is advisable andrequiredby some local ordinances
and insurance regulations.
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline, with a
minimum octanerating of 87. Avoid spilling gaso-
line. Gasoline is highly flammable, handle itcarefully.
A. Use an approved gasoline container.
B. Do not fill the tankwhile the engine is hot or
runtfing.
C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
D. Fill the fuel tank outdoors andup to approxi-
mately 1" (25 mm) below the bottom of the filler
neck.
E. Wipeup any spilled gasoline.
Before attempting to start the engine, shift the
transmission into neutral, move the blade engage-
ment switch to the OFF position, and move the
neutral latches to neutral.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Start the engine when the neutral latches are in the
neutral lock position, the cutter blades are disen-
gaged, and the transmission is in neutral.
Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous
and could possibly be deadly.
Using the machine demands attention. To
prevent loss of control:
A. Mow only in daylight orwhen there is good
artificiallight.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Do not drive close to a drop-off, ditch, creek
bank, or other hazard.
D. Reduce speedwhen making sharp turns and
when turning on hillsides.
E. Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm
hold on the handles and walk---never run.
F. Do not operatewhere conditions are slippery.
The discharge chute must always be installed and in
the down position on the side discharge cutter deck
except when the Scag optional grass catcher or
mulchingplate areproperly installed. If the dis-
charge area shouldplug, shut the engine off and wait
for all movement to stop before removing the
obstruction.
Disengage the blades and wait for them to stop
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
Shut the engine off and wait until the blades come to
a complete stop before removing the grass catcher
container.
Never raise the cutter deck while the blades are
rotating.
Always park the mower and!or start the engine on a
level surface.

If the cutting blades should strike asolid object or
the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally awarning of trouble. Check the machine
for damaged or defective parts. Repair any damage
before starting the engine or operating the cutter
deck. Be sure the blades are in good condition and
the blade bolts are tight.
14. Use only Scag approved riding attachments.
Scag Approved Riding Attachments:
RS-2
RS-ZT
Using unapproved attachments, (especially "stand-
up" riding attachments) may be hazardous.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
10. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss
of control. Be especially cautious when changing
directions on slopes.
,WARNING:
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a
slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck
down), if the machine can back up the slope
without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use
extreme caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA
APPROVED OPERATION.
11. Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause aburn.
12. Before leaving the operator's position or leaving the
mower unattended, shift thetransmission into
neutral, place the neutral latches in the neutral lock
position, andmove the blade engagement switch to
OFF. Shut the engine OFF and remove the key.
13. Do not pass or stand on the grass discharge side
of any mower with the engine running. Stop
operation when another person approaches.

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug to prevent accidental starting of the engine
when servicing, adjusting or storing the machine.
If the mower must be tipped to perform mainte-
nance or adjustment, remove the battery, drain
the gasoline from the fuel tank and the oil from
the crankcase.
To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accu-
mulations of dirt.
Be sure the machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check
the blade mounting bolts and nuts frequently to
be sure they are tightened.
If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, cloth-
ing and other parts of the body away from the
cutter deck blades and other moving parts.
Do not overspeed the engine by changing gover-
nor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy,
have an authorized dealer check maximum engine
speed with a tachometer.
The engine must be shut off before checking the
oil or adding oil to the crankcase.
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
mower in any enclosure such as a garage or
storage shed. Make sure the fuel tank is empty if
the machine is to be stored in excess of 30 days.
Do not store the mower near any open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

clutch plates meshing as the cutter blades come
up m speed. For best equipment/ijO, engage the
clutch with the engine at 1/2 throttle, not under
.full load.
,WARNING:
To avoid serious bodily injury and damage to the
transmission, the machine must be at a full stop

CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS
Due to the many cutting conditions that exist, itis difficult
to suggest a cutter deck setting that will work for every
lawn. There are two adjustments that can be made on
these decks, pitch andheight.
PITCH is the angle of the blades (comparing front to
rear). A 1/4" downward pitch (front of deck down) is
recommended for best cutting performance.
HEIGHT is the nominal distance the blade is offofthe
ground. This measurement is made with the blades
pointed side to side and distance is measured between
cuttingtip andground. (Also seeBladeHeightAdjust-
merit, nextpage)
Changes to the cutting height can be achieved by reposi-
tioning the cutter deck (This adjustment will also effect
the pitch of the deck). There are three available posi-
tions (see figure 5).
LOW CUT (1 3/4" to 3")
MID RANGE
1/2" to 3 3/4")
HIGH CUT
(3 1/4" to 4 1/2")

REPOSITIONING SPACERS SC406G99
Figure 6. Caster Wheel Spacers
BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving any
number of the five smaller 1/4" spacers on the blade
mounting bolts to the top of the spindle shaft or below
the spindle shaft.
=NOTE=
All blades should be positioned equally.
For best cut and discharge, aminimum of three spacers
should be installed between the blade and the spindle.
(See figure 7)
CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
(See figure 8)
=NOTE=
Dress the blade with afile. Using a wheel
grinder may burn the blade. Check the balance
(?f the blade. If blades are out (?/balance, vibra-
tion and premature wear (?/spindle assembly can
occur. See your authorized Stag dealer for
blade balancing or special tools" if you choose to
balance your own blades.
