WARNING

Unsafe Operation Hazard

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.

Slope Operation

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

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

on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a

slope, do not operate on it.

Control of a walk-behind or 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 loose 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 you cannot back up.

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.

WARNING

Unsafe Operation Hazard

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.

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.

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

Check Oil Level

See Figure: 3

Before adding or checking the oil

• Make sure the engine is level.

• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 3) and wipe with a clean

cloth.

2. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 3).

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Correct oil level

is at the top of the full indicator (B, Figure 3) on the dipstick.

4. If oil level is low, slowly add oil into the engine oil fill (C,

Figure 3). 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. For

location, see

Features and Controls.

5. Reinstall and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 3).

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped) will

either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the

equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil level

with the dipstick.

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.

NOTICE

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. Use of unapproved fuels will cause

damage to engine components, which will not be covered

under 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.

For carbureted engines, high altitude adjustment is required to

maintain performance. 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.

Driving

Zero Turn Driving Practice

Before attempting to drive the zero-turn riding mower make sure

you have read the

Features and Controls

section and

understand the location and function of all of the unit’s controls.

The ground speed control levers of this zero-turn riding mower

are responsive, and learning to gain a smooth and efficient

control of the unit’s forward, reverse, and turning movements

will take some practice.

Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown and

becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels, and

steers, before you begin mowing, is absolutely essential to

getting the most out of the zero-turn riding mower.

Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn, one with plenty of room

to maneuver. Clear the area of objects, people, and animals

before you begin. Operate the unit at mid-throttle during this

practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle when mowing),

and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and damage to your

lawn.

We suggest you begin with the

Smooth Travel

procedure, and

then advance through the forward, reverse, and turning

maneuvers.

Smooth Travel

The lever controls of the Zero Turn rider are responsive.

The BEST method of handling the ground speed control levers

is in three steps — as shown in Figure 6.

FIRST place your hands onto the levers as shown.

SECOND, to go forward gradually push the levers forward with

your palms.

THIRD, to speed up move the levers farther forward. To slow

down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral.

Basic Driving

Forward Travel Practice

Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly

FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.

NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top

speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing

Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this

manual.

Reverse Travel Practice

LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground

speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down and

repeat.

NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before

attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in

reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes

practice.

Practice Turning Around A Corner

While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return

back toward neutral. Repeat several times.

NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best

to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.

Practice Turning in Place

To turn in place, “Zero Turn,” gradually move one ground speed

control lever forward from neutral and one lever back from

neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or

back, changes the “pivot point” you turn on.

Advanced Driving

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn

Your Zero Turn Rider’s unique ability to turn in place allows you

to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than having to

stop and Y-turn before starting a new row.

For example, to execute a left end-of row zero turn:

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

2. Move the RIGHT ground speed control lever forward slightly

while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever back to

center and then slightly back from center.

3. Begin mowing forward again.

This technique turns the rider LEFT and slightly overlaps the

row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut missed

grass.

As you become more familiar and experienced with operating

the Zero Turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that will

make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.

Remember, the more you practice, the better your control

of the Zero Turn will be!

Attaching a Trailer

Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure

12) and clip (B). See

Operator Safety

for additional safety

information regarding trailers and towing.

WARNING

Towing Hazard

Towed loads can be hazardous and cause loss of control on

slopes.

• The max gross (trailer & load) weight of trailer is 200 lbs

in the rear of the bed will accommodate a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 to help

secure loads during transport.

WARNING

Amputation Hazard

Rotating blades cut off arms and legs. Do not carry riders

(especially children) even with the blades off. They may fall

off or return for another ride when you are not expecting it.

WARNING

Loss of Control and Roll-Over Hazard

Operating with loads in the cargo bed greater than 50 lbs can

be hazardous and cause loss of control and roll-overs.

The cargo bed can be raised to access the engine compartment

without removing it.

To raise the cargo bed

1. Raise the seat (A, Figure 14).

2. Pull up firmly on the rear of the bed (B, Figure 14).

3. When lowering the bed, press down firmly to secure the

rear of the bed in place with the locking clips (D).

To remove the cargo bed

bed to the rider frame.

2. Pull up firmly on the rear of the bed to release the locking

clips (D, Figure 14).

3. Lift and remove the cargo bed from the rider.

CAUTION

To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing or

installing the cargo bed.

To install the cargo bed

1. Position the bed over the engine compartment, aligning the

holes in the front of the bed with the holes in the frame

brackets.

2. Install the pins (C, Figure 14) into the holes.

3. Lower the rear of the bed, pressing down firmly to secure

with the locking clips (D, Figure 14).

CAUTION

To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing or

installing the cargo bed.

Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)

The shock assemblies (A, Figure 15 - front shown, rear similar)

can be adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load applied to the

springs. This allows the operator to customize the ride according

to operator’s weight and operating conditions.

Less Pre-Load:

• Light operator weight

• Softer, more cushioned ride

• Best for relatively flat terrain

More Pre-Load:

• Heavy operator weight

• Stiffer, more rigid ride

• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain

To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO,

pivot the ground speed levers out to the START/ PARK

position, and stop the engine.

2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 15) to a higher

notch (-) to decrease the pre-load, or to a lower notch (+)

to increase the pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to

the same amount of pre-load.

Storage

WARNING

Fire and Explosion Hazard

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, unventilated

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.

When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel in Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other

appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources

because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Disengage the PTO, lock the ground speed levers in the

START/PARK position, and remove the key.

Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry

place and keep fully charged during storage. If the battery is

left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs &

Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer,

available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are

sold.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for

2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system.

The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

18

Not for

Reproduction

If gasoline in the tank has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer,

it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine

until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the

storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

• Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in

this manual.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are

derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are

derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are

taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross

engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and

engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop

the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including,

but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application

limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing

and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.

Note:

The engine information contained in this manual applies

to Briggs & Stratton engines only. For information regarding

non-Briggs engines, refer to the engine manual supplied with

your unit.
