Operator Safety
Slope Operation
You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too
steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you
don’t have adequate traction can cause you to lose control or roll over.
A good rule of thumb is to not operate on any slope you cannot back up
(in 2-wheel drive mode). You should not operate on inclines with a slope
greater than a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over a 20.0 ft (6,0 m) length. Always
drive up and down slopes: never cross the face.
Also note that the surface you are driving on can greatly impact stability
and control. Wet grass or icy pavement can seriously affect your ability
to control the unit.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it. It’s
not worth the risk.
Moving Parts
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. How-
ever, if you are seated in the seat properly, and follow all the rules in this book, the
unit is safe to operate.
The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate hands and feet.
Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running!
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an operator-
present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your
dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock system
tests found in this manual.
Thrown Objects
This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick up and throw debris
that could seriously injure a bystander. Be sure to clean up the area to be
mowed BEFORE you start mowing.
Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or discharge guard (de-
flector) in place.
Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does
enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave.
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and
can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not
as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors
can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an
approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the tractor fuel tank with the cap se-
curely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be
sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially pe-
riodically testing the safety system.

Operator Safety
Safe Operation Practices
For Ride-On (Riding) Rotary Mower Machines
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets
are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occur ring to other people or
their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain pro fessional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
a. the need for care and concentration when working
with ride-on machines;
b. 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 wheel grip;
• being driven too fast;
• inadequate braking;
• the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
• lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
• incorrect hitching and load dis tribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used and remove all ob jects which may be thrown
by the machine.
3. WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.
a. Store fuel in containers specifically de signed for
this purpose.
b. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
c. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the
engine is run ning or when the engine is hot.
d. If petrol 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 petrol vapours have dissipated.
e. Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blades, blade bolts and cutter as sembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts
in sets to preserve balance.
6. On multi-blade machines, take care as ro tating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, dis engage all
blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 de grees.
5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope.
Travel on grass slopes re quires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
b. engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear,
especially when tra velling downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and
during tight turns;
d. stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden
hazards;
e. never mow across the face of the slope, unless the
mower is designed for this purpose.

Operation (Continued)
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the In struction Book.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other
than grass.
9. When using any attachments, never direct discharge of
material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the
machine while in operation.
10. Never operate the mower with defective guards or
shields, or without safety protec tive devices in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor set tings or
overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive
speed may in crease the hazard of personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position:
a. disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
b. change into neutral and set the park ing brake;
c. stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine,
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the
ignition key:
a. before cleaning blockages or unclog ging chute;
b. before checking, cleaning or working on the mower;
c. after striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower
for damage and make re pairs before restarting and
operating the equipment;
d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnor mally (check
immediately).
14. Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or
not in use.
15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to at tachment:
a. before refuelling;
b. before removing the grass catcher;
c. before making height adjustment un less adjustment
can be made from the operator’s position.
16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and,
if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the
fuel off at the con clusion of mowing.
17. Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
18. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees or other objects that may obscure vision.
Maintenance and Storage
1. On multi-blade machines, take care as ro tating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
2. When machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive
mechanical lock is used.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
4. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or ex cessive grease.
7. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
8. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
9. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.

Important! Before You Start Mowing
• Check the engine oil.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
• Check the air pressure of the tires.
• Check the level of the mower hous ing.
• Attach the battery cables.
Check The Tires
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air
pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong
air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level.
The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),
Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tires were over inflated
for shipment.
Check The Level Of The Mower Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a
short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower
housing does not cut level, see the instructions on “How To
Level The Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of
this instruction book.
How To Prepare The Engine
Check the oil and fuel levels, and add as needed.
IMPORTANT: Some units are shipped from the factory
without oil in the engine. It is important to check the engine
oil level before attempting to start or operate the unit. If you
start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair
and will not be covered under warranty.
See the "Operation" section of this manual for the type of
fuel and oil to use. Before you operate the unit, read the
information on safety, oper ation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the instructions in this manual
for the type of fuel and oil to use. Always use a
safety fuel container. Do not smoke when adding
fuel to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do
not fill with fuel. Before you add fuel, stop the
engine. Let the engine cool for at least two
minutes.

Operation
Before Operating
Check/Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Some units are shipped from the factory
without oil in the engine. It is important to check the engine
oil level before attempting to start or operate the unit. If you
start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair
and will not be covered under warranty.
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.
How To Check/Add Oil (Figure 7)
Before adding or checking the oil
• Place the unit on a level surface.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1. Raise the tractor hood.
2. Remove the dipstick (A) and wipe with a clean cloth.
3. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should
be at the top of the full indicator (B) on the dipstick.
5. 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.
6. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
Add Fuel
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High
altitude use, see below.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is
acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15
and 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 Storage. 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. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for
high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
How To Add Fuel (Figure 8)
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 2 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.
