Reproduction
To begin recording PTO hours, pull the PTO switch up to engage
the PTO clutch. The unit's engine must be running. The mode
icon will display a "P" and the hour glass icon will flash.
While recording PTO hours, the hour meter also records engine
hours; however, the hour meter only displays PTO hours when
recording PTO hours.
To stop recording PTO hours, push the PTO switch down to
disengage the PTO clutch.
To stop recording engine hours, engage the parking brake.
The hour meter has a self contained power source so that the
recorded hours are always visible even when the engine is OFF.
Operation
Before First Time Operation
• Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation
sections before attempting to operate this tractor and
mower.
• Become familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the
unit.
• Drive in an open area without mowing to become
accustomed to the unit.
WARNING
• Never operate on slopes greater than 15°.
• Select slow ground speed before driving onto a slope.
Use extra caution when operating on slopes with a
rear-mounted grass catcher.
• Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down, use
caution when changing direction on slopes and do NOT
start or stop on a slope.
WARNING
• Never allow passengers to ride on the unit.
• Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason,
engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine and remove the key.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider and mower
free of grass, leaves and excess grease. Do NOT stop or
park rider over dry leaves, grass or combustible materials.
• Fuel is highly flammable and must be handled with care.
Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent
operation. Do NOT allow open flame, smoking or matches
in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
WARNING
Do NOT load this zero-turn rider on a trailer or truck using two
separate ramps. Only use a single ramp that is at least one
foot wider than the width of the rear wheels of this rider. This
rider has a zero turning radius and the rear wheels could fall
off the ramps, or the rider could tip over injuring the operator
or bystanders.
Checks Before Starting
• Check that the crankcase is filled to the full mark on the
crankcase oil fill and dipstick. If necessary, add oil through
the engine oil fill. See the engine Operator’s manual for

tight.
• Adjust the seat position, and make certain you can reach
all the controls from operator’s position.
