9. If the cutting blades should strike a solid object

or the equipment should start to vibrate abnor-

mally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug

wire, and check  immediately for the cause.

Vibration is generally a warning 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.

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.

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 a burn.

12. Before leaving the operator’s position or leaving

the mower unattended, move the speed adjust-

ment lever into the neutral position, place the

neutral latches in the neutral lock position, apply

the parking brake, and move the blade engage-

ment 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.

14. Use only Scag approved riding attachments.

Scag Approved Riding Attachments:

RS-ZT

Using unapproved attachments, (especially "stand-

up" riding attachments) may be hazardous.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark

plug to prevent accidental starting of the engine

when servicing, adjusting or storing the machine.

2. 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.

3. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine

free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accu-

mulations of dirt.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The engine must be shut off before checking the

oil or adding oil to the crankcase.

8. 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.
