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

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. This mowing deck

is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle in text signifies important

cautions or warnings which must be followed.

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.

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.

TOWED EQUIPMENT (RIDE-ON UNITS)

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.

or other appliance.

6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed 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.

Service & Maintenance

1. Never run the unit in an enclosed area where carbon

monoxide fumes may collect.

and use extra caution when servicing them.

9. Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as

required.

10. Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as

necessary.

11. Do not remove the fuel filter when the engine is hot as

spilled gasoline may ignite. Do not spread fuel line clamps

further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly

over the filter after installation.

12. Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol

containing more than 10% ETHANOL, gasoline additives,

or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could

result.

13. If the fuel tank must be drained, it should be drained

outdoors.

14. Replace faulty silencers/mufflers.

15. Use only factory authorized replacement parts when

making repairs.

16. Always comply with factory specifications on all settings

and adjustments.

17. Only authorized service locations should be utilized for

18. Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit unless

you have been properly trained. Improper service

procedures can result in hazardous operation, equipment

damage and voiding of manufacturer’s warranty.

19. On multiple blade mowers, take care as rotating one blade

can cause other blades to rotate.

20. Do not change engine governor settings or over-speed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can

increase the hazard of personal injury.

21. Disengage drive attachments, stop the engine, remove the

starter insert, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) before:

clearing attachment blockages and chutes, 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:

WARNING: To prevent serious bodily injury from hot

coolant or steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the

radiator cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine

and wait until it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when

removing the cap.

Operation

General Operating Safety

Be sure to read all information in the Operator Safety

section before attempting to operate this unit. Become

familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.

WARNING

If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not operate it.

See an authorized dealer.

Safety Interlock System Tests

This unit is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. Do not

attempt to bypass or tamper with the switches/devices.

Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:

• PTO switch is ON, OR

• Brake pedal is NOT fully depressed (parking brake

OFF).

Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank and start if:

• PTO switch is OFF, AND

• Brake pedal is fully depressed (parking brake ON),

Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:

• Operator rises off the seat with the PTO engaged.

• Operator rises off the seat with the brake pedal NOT

fully depressed (parking brake OFF).

Test 4 — Check Mower Blade Stopping Time

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a

complete stop within five seconds after electric PTO switch

is turned OFF. If mower drive belt does not stop within five

seconds, see an authorized dealer.

Test 5 — Check Reverse Mow Option (RMO)

• Engine should shut off if reverse travel is attempted if

the PTO has been switched on and RMO has not been

activated.

• RMO light should illuminate when RMO has been

activated.

WARNING

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic

accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Never activate the RMO if children

are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and

the mowing activity.

Check Tire Pressure

Tires should be checked periodically to provide the

optimum traction and to guarantee the best cut (see Figure

4).

NOTE: These pressures may differ slightly from the

“Maximum Inflation” stamped on the side walls of the tires.

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty

Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality

detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,

SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for

the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil

consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

17

Not for

Reproduction

Checking/Adding Oil

Before adding or checking the oil

• Place engine level.

• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 5) and wipe with a

clean cloth.

2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should

be at the FULL mark (B) on the dipstick.

4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not

overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute and then

recheck the oil level.

NOTE: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain (if equipped).

5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

Oil Pressure

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches

the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper

pressure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not

start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the

oil pressure problem corrected.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane / 87 AKI (91 RON). For high

altitude use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is

acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85.

Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on

alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components

and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel

stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is

not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,

change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is

certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control

system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

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.

Adding Fuel

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and

explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When Adding Fuel

• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 3 minutes

before removing the fuel cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the

fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,

heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.

1. Remove the fuel cap (A, Figure 6).

2. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris.

3. Fill the fuel tank (B) with fuel. To allow for expansion

of the fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank

Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)

WARNING

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic

accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Never activate the RMO if children

are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and

the mowing activity.

The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the operator to

mow in reverse (see Features and Controls). To activate,

turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light

will illuminate, and the operator can then mow in reverse.

Each time the PTO is engaged the RMO needs to be

reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to restrict

access to the RMO.
