DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released, causing a spark that can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.
Think Safety First 1 2 Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and decals in the safety section. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury. G009027 DANGER Figure 9 Operating the machine on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. • Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees. • Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes. • Do not operate the machine near water. 1.
Understanding the Safety-Interlock System 9. Rise from the seat again. The brake should automatically engage and the engine will continue to run. WARNING 10. Return to the seat and engage the blades by pulling up on the blade-control switch. If safety-interlock switches are disconnected or damaged, the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury. • Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
Starting the Engine Operating the Blades Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Engaging the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor. If the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating the engine starter again. The blade control switch engages and disengages power to the mower blades. This switch controls power to any attachments that draw power from the engine, including the mower deck and cutting blades.
Stopping the Machine has a foot pedal that controls the forward and reverse motion along with the speed, and it has a steering wheel that controls the direction and the turning radius. Like a zero-turn machine, the rear drive wheels operate independently of each other, enabling you to make sharp turns and to turn in different directions quickly.
Positioning the Seat 5. When finished mowing, remove the KeyChoice key (Figure 6). A Note: Once you deactivate the interlock, it stays in this mode—with your mower blade or PTO powered attachment operating whenever you back up—and the console light stays on until you either disengage the PTO or turn off the engine. B Adjusting the Height-of-Cut Note: The transport position is the highest height-of-cut position or cutting height 115 mm (4.5 inches) as shown in Figure 14.
Adjusting the Anti-scalp Rollers 1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO) and ensure the parking brake is engaged. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 107 cm (42-inch) Mower Decks Only 3. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers (Figure 18) to match the closest height-of-cut position. Whenever you change the height-of-cut, it is recommended to adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers.
Converting to Side Discharge 3 107 cm (42-inch) Mower Decks Only The mower deck and mower blades shipped with this machine were designed for optimum mulching and side discharge performance. Removing the Discharge Cover for the Side Discharge 1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade-control switch. 1 2 2.

Transporting the Machine Installing the Right Baffle for Mulching 1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade-control switch. Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury. 2.
Loading the Machine 1 Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider than the machine for this procedure. Back up ramps and drive forward down ramps (Figure 27). 2 Figure 27 1. Back up ramps 2. Drive forward down ramps Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps for each side of the machine. 6 Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 28).
Operating Tips To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged. Using the Fast Throttle Setting Keeping the Underside of the Mower Clean For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST -THROTTLE position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower in uncut grass. Always try to have 1 side of the mower free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn into the mower.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • • • • Check the engine-oil level.

Servicing the Fuses Drive System Maintenance The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires no maintenance; however, if a fuse blows, check the component or circuit for a malfunction or short. Fuse type: Checking the Tire Pressure • Main—F1-30 A, blade-type Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check tire pressure. • Charge Circuit—F2-25 A, blade-type Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven cut.
Mower Maintenance 2. Locate the shaft on the electric brake where the brake link arms are connected. 3. Rotate the shaft forward to release the brake. Servicing the Cutting Blades Maintain sharp and balanced blades throughout the cutting season, because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth, and increases the chance of disease. Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage.
