SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
SLOPE OPERATION
1. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-
over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope,
or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it.
2. For your safety, measure any slope before using the riding
mower on the sloped area. Use a slope measuring device in
addition to the slope gauge included as part of this manual
to measure slopes before operating this riding mower on a
sloped or hilly area. Smart phone applications can also be
utilized to measure slopes. If the slope is greater than 12°
(21%) as shown on the slope gauge or a slope measuring
device, do not operate this riding mower on that area or
serious injury could result.
3. Do not mow on slopes greater than 12° (21%).
4. Do not mow across slopes, only mow up or down slopes
that are less than 12° (21%). Use low speeds and avoid
sudden turns.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding or a loss of control.
6. Do not operate riding mower under any conditions where
traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could slide
even if the wheels are stopped.
7. Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making
sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly
and gradually.
8. Use extra care while operating riding mower with grass
catcher or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability
of the riding mower. Do not use grass catcher on slopes
greater than 10° (17%).
9. Do not try to stabilize the riding mower by putting your foot
on the ground.
10. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make
sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid acceleration
could cause the front of the riding mower to lift and rapidly
tip over backwards, which could cause serious injury or death.
11. Do not turn off riding mower and freewheel downhill. Over-
speeding may cause the operator to lose control of the riding
mower resulting in serious injury or death.
SLOPE GAUGE BACK COVER
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on the slope, do
not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than 12° (21%).
Only mow up and down slopes, never across slopes.
USE THE SLOPE GAUGE ON THE BACK COVER AS SHOWN TO
DETERMINE IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Open manual to the back cover and fold along the
dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g., a pole,
building, fence, tree, etc.).
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object.
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches
the slope.
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for
safe operation.
HAULING

OPERATION
Mulching (if equipped)
Mulching is a process of recirculating grass clippings repeatedly
beneath the cutting deck. The ultra-fine clippings are then
forced back into the lawn where they act as a natural fertilizer.
Refer to the Set-up section of this manual for instructions on how
to install the mulch kit (if equipped).
Mowing
WARNING
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury,
keep bystanders, helpers, children, and pets at least
75 feet (23 meters) from the machine while it is in
operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of
materials toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders, and
the like. Also, avoid discharging material against
a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
The following information will be helpful when using the cutting
deck with your riding mower:
1. Do not mow or drive at high ground speed, especially if a
mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
2. For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be
cut clockwise with the discharge facing towards the center
of your lawn. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to
discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will
give a better appearance to the lawn.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed
growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
4. Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over
the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
5. Do not attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and grass
taller than 10 inches (25.4 cm). Your riding mower is designed
to mow lawns, not clear brush.
4. The riding mower is brought to a stop by releasing

Failure to follow these recommendations may result
in serious injury to yourself or others and may cause
damage to the riding mower.
Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, do not use water to clean the
riding mower, battery, or battery charger. Do not use
strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such
as kerosene, can damage plastic.
The underside of the riding mower deck should be cleaned
after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and other debris
will accumulate. This accumulation of grass clippings, etc., is
undesirable as it will promote rust and corrosion.
1. Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the
deck motor and underside of the riding mower (DO NOT USE
WATER). Wipe the riding mower clean with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to
clean your riding mower. These may cause damage to electric
components or the electric motor. The use of water will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Cleaning the Riding Mower
WARNING
If the riding mower has been recently run, metal surfaces
will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the riding
mower cool for at least five minutes. Exercise caution to
avoid burns.
Your riding mower should be cleaned after each use and under
certain conditions, i.e. dry conditions and/or mulching situations,
additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your riding mower running
efficiently and to reduce fire risk is to regularly remove debris
buildup from the riding mower. Follow the recommendations
below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions.
Allow the riding mower to cool in an open area
before cleaning.
Do not use water on any part of the riding mower. Doing
so can cause damage to the riding mower’s electrical
components and motor. The use of compressed air and/or
leaf blower or a brush, damp sponge or rag will help keep the
riding mower clean.
Clean around fuses and wiring harnesses.
Clean the top of the riding mower deck (Figure 14).
Figure 14
Clean around and near the transmission and axle (Figure 15).
Rear Wheel Not Shown for Clarity
Figure 15
Debris can accumulate anywhere on the riding mower,
especially on horizontal surfaces. Additional cleaning may be
necessary when mowing in dry conditions or when mulching.
19
PRODUCT CARE
Excess lubrication can become collection sites for debris.
Immediate repair and cleaning up excess lubrication can help
reduce fire hazards.
In addition to cleaning the riding mower before operating
and storing, do not attempt to mow unusually tall grass
(10 inches or higher), dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry
leaves. Dry grass or leaves may build up on the riding mower
deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
Lubrication
DANGER
Bearing failures and overheating can result in
fire. Always follow the instructions in this manual
regarding lubrication locations and intervals. Contact
your authorized dealer with any questions about the
lubrication locations and intervals or any unusual noises
coming from any areas a bearing may be located.
WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the riding
mower, power off the riding mower and remove the key.
FRONT AXLES:
Each end of the riding mower’s front pivot bar may be equipped
with a grease fitting. Lubricate with a grease gun after every 25
hours of operation.

Lubricate the axles and the rims well with an all-purpose grease
before re-installing them.
PIVOT POINTS & LINKAGE:
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake
and lift linkage at least once a season with light oil.
NOTE: It is not necessary to grease the steering pinion/sector
gear interface. Doing so will allow dirt to accumulate and can
affect steering performance.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
Before making adjustments, power off the riding mower,
and remove the key. Protect your hands by using heavy
gloves when handling the blades.
NOTE: Check the riding mower’s tire pressure before performing
any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Checking Tire Pressure in
the Set-up section for information regarding tire pressure.
Adjusting the Deck
LEVELING THE DECK FRONTTOREAR
It is possible to adjust the pitch of the cutting deck. The front
of the deck should be between 0 inches (level) and 1/4 inch
