General Safety

RECEIVE InSTRUCTIOn — Entirely read this operator’s 

• 

manual. Learn to operate this machine SAFELY. Do not risk 

InJURY or DEATH. Allow only those who have become 

competent in its usage to operate this tractor.

Before starting the engine or beginning operation, be 

• 

familiar with the controls. The operator should be in the 

operator’s seat. The PTO switch must be in the disengaged 

position, the parking brake engaged, and the speed control 

pedals moved to the neutral position.
Keep all shields in place. Keep away from moving parts.

• 

nO RIDERS! Keep all people and pets a safe distance away. 

• 

Look behind and down to both sides of the tractor before 

and while backing up.

DO nOT direct the mower discharge at people. never 

• 

walk or stand on the discharge side of the mower when 

the engine is running. Turn off the PTO if another person 

approaches while you are operating the mower.
Avoid slopes where possible. Never operate on slopes 

• 

greater than 20°. Slopes with a greater incline present 

dangerous operating conditions. Tractors can be rolled 

over. Always mow across slopes, never up and down 

the slope. Avoid turning downhill if possible, start at 

the bottom and work up to the top. Use extra care and 

go slowly when turning downhill. Control the speed 

and direction of the zero turn machine “primarily” with 

the speed/directional control (lap bar) of the downhill 

side of the machine, i.e., maintain the uphill side lap bar 

“essentially” in a fixed position.

Before leaving the operator’s seat: Shut off the PTO, move 

• 

the  speed control pedals to the neutral position, engage 

the parking brake, shut off the engine and remove the 

ignition key. Wait for all movement to stop before servicing 

or cleaning.
When operating this mower, in the forward direction, do 

• 

not allow the speed control pedals to return to neutral on 

their own. Operate the speed control pedals smoothly and 

avoid any sudden movements of the pedals when starting 

and stopping.

Be careful when operating near gravel paths and roadways. 

• 

Stop the blades and tractor motion and wait for vehicles to 

pass before operating along the road.
Do not operate the tractor with the mower deck removed. 

• 

Removal of the deck will change the balance of the tractor, 

and could contribute to a tractor rollover.
Avoid operation on traction surfaces that are unstable; use 

• 

extreme caution if the surface is slippery. Always remove 

debris and other objects from the area to be mowed - 

debris and loose grass will reduce traction.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• 

Watch for holes, sprinkler heads, and other hidden hazards.

• 

Avoid dr

• 

iving too close to trees, creeks, ditches, sand traps, 

and other obstacles.

Slow down bef

• 

ore turning and come to a complete stop 

before any zero turn maneuver.
If yo

• 

u hit a solid object while mowing, turn off the PTO, 

place the speed control pedals in the neutral position, 

move the throttle to slow, set the parking brake, shut off 

the engine, and take the key from the ignition switch. 

Inspect for damage. Repair the damage. Make sure the 

blades are in good condition and that the blade bolts are 

tight before restarting the engine.
Do not sto

• 

p the tractor or park the tractor over 

combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, debris, etc.
Ke

• 

ep the mower and especially the engine and hydraulic 

components clean and free of grease, grass, and leaves to 

reduce the chance of fire and permit proper cooling.
Do not 

• 

fill the fuel tank when the engine is running or 

while the engine is hot. Allow the engine several minutes 

to cool before refueling. Tighten the fuel cap securely.

Before Operating Your Tractor

Before you operate the tractor, study this manual carefully 

1. 

to familiarize yourself with the operation of all the 

instruments and controls. It has been prepared to help you 

operate and maintain your tractor efficiently.
Fill

2. 

 the fuel tank with only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline 

with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher. When 

the fuel reaches one inch from the top of the tank, stop. DO 

nOT OVERFILL. Space must be left for expansion.
Check the engine oil level. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it 

3. 

off and reinsert it. Pull it out again and read the oil level. If 

it is below the operating range, add oil through the fill tube 

using a funnel to bring it up to the top of the operating 

range.
Che

4. 

ck the hydraulic oil level. The hydraulic oil tank is 

located beneath the operator’s seat. Always wipe off the 

area around the oil tank fill neck before checking the oil 

level to prevent dirt from contaminating the oil. Remove 

the cap and make sure the oil level is a 1/4” below the oil 

tank fill neck. If the oil level is low, fill with Shell Rimula 

15W40 or equivalent oil. Equivalent oil should meet GM 

Allison C-4.

Check the tire inflation pressures - 10-12 psi for the rear 

5. 

tires, 20-25 psi front tires.

NOTE: 

New tires are overinflated in order to properly seat 

the bead to the rim.
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.

6. 

Check the tension of the deck drive belts.

7. 

Remove the deck cover

a. 

The tension of the deck drive belts are maintained 

b. 

by a spring mechanism that adjusts for wear and 

stretch.
