GENERAL OPERATION

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the unit before starting.

2. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

times.

3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the

instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can

restrict operator age).

4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s).

5. Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.

Stop the unit if anyone enters the area.

6. Never carry passengers.

7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while travelling

in reverse.

8. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the

blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.

9. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass

catcher, discharge guard (deflector), or other safety

devices in place.

10. Slow down before turning.

11. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always

disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove starter insert before dismounting.

12. Disengage blades (PTO) when not mowing. Shut off

engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete

stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass

catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.

13. Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial

light.

14. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

15 Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

16. Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a

trailer or truck.

17. Always wear eye protection when operating this unit.

18. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of power equipment-

related injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the equipment safely enough to protect

themselves and others from injury.

19. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights.

20. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents

occurring to other people or property.

21. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and

practical instruction.

22. Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never

operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.

23. Before using, always visually check that the blades and

blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace

worn or damaged parts.

24. Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an

attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment

can be made from the operator’s position).

25. When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended,

lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical

lock is used.

26. Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason,

engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the

engine, and remove the starter insert.

27. To reduce fire hazard, keep the unit free of grass,

leaves, & excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry leaves,

grass, or combustible materials.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

1. When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure

it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is

facing backwards, wind lift could damage the unit.

2. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling

practices when refueling the unit after transportation or

storage.

3. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly

ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition

source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause

an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and

animals.

4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage

preparations before storing the unit for both short and

long term periods.

5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper

start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there

is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater.

Allow unit to cool before storing.

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit,

severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. 

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit

and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will

remain where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of another responsible adult.

2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and

down for small children.

4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They

may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe unit operation. Children who have been given rides

in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area

for another ride and be run over or backed over by the

machine.

5. Never allow children to operate the unit.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-

over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate

on it.

Control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be

regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons

for loss of control are: insufficient tire grip on the ground,

speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of machine

is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the ground

conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop

or change speeds while on the slope.

4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling

down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast

downhill.

6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires

lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do

not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which

could cause the machine to rollover.

8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass

catchers or other attachments; they can affect the

stability of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.

9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground (ride-on units).

10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.

12. Do not mow slopes if you cannot back up them.

13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for

recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights

to improve stability.

14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes

even through the brakes are functioning properly.

16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn

slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.



1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for

weight limit for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed

equipment.

4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may

cause loss of traction and loss of control.

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent

(10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in

20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel

weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to

determine which weights are available and appropriate

for your unit.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.

In addition to front weights, use extra caution when

operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers.

Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,

use caution when changing directions and DO NOT

START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before filling.

7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

10. Never over-fill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

11. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

12. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors

have dissipated.

13. Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps

securely.



performing service work, striking an object, or if the unit

vibrates abnormally. After striking an object, inspect the

machine for damage and make repairs before restarting

and operating the equipment.

22. Never place hands near the moving parts, such as a

hydro pump cooling fan, when the tractor is running.

(Hydro pump cooling fans are typically located on top of

the transaxle).

23. Units with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors:

WARNING: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure

may have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause

serious injury. If foreign fluid is injected into the skin

it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a

doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may

result. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or

nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.

Use paper or cardboard, and not hands, to search for

leaks. Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight

and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition

before applying pressure to the system. If leaks occur,

have the unit serviced immediately by your authorized

dealer.

24. WARNING: Improper release of springs can result in

serious personal injury. Springs should be removed

by an authorized technician.

25. Models equipped with an engine radiator:

6. Do not mow when children or others are around. Nev-

er carry riders especially children even with the blades

off. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Look down and behind – before and while backing.

7. Consult technical literature before performing technical

repairs or maintenance. When leaving the machine,

shutoff engine, set the parking brake to the lock position

and remove the ignition key.

8. Keep by-standers and children a safe distance away.

Remove objects that can be thrown by the blade. Do

not mow without discharge chute in place.

9. Do not mow without discharge chute or entire grass

catcher in place.

10. To avoid injury from rotating blades, stay clear of deck

edge and keep others away.

Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive feature

of our transmissions that provides improved traction. ACT

applies a preset amount of torque to both rear wheels even

if one starts slipping (a transmission without ACT will lose

traction completely if one rear wheel starts slipping). This

preset torque is just enough to provide additional traction,

For the most part, while using your tractor you will not notice

ACT working, and you will simply become accustomed to

increased traction an ACT transmission provides.

Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can be

exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for instance

if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This is normal.

If you start to lose traction, do not speed up. Instead, slow to

a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and slowly accelerate.

Stopping the tractor allows the transmission to regain more

traction.

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. For

carbureted engines, high altitude adjustment is required

to remain emissions compliant. Operation without this

adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased

fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Contact a

Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for high altitude

adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet

(762 meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not

recommended. For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines,

no high altitude adjustment is necessary.
