Oil Recommendations

Oil Capacity:See theSpecificationssection.

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.

A SAE 30 -Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard

starting.

B 10W-30 -Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause

increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 4) and wipe with a clean

cloth.

2. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 4).

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

level is at the top of the full indicator (B, Figure 4) on the

dipstick.

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

(C, Figure 4). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one

minute and then recheck the oil level.

Not for

Reproduction

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 4).

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 the appropriateOperator's

Manualfor recommendations. 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.

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.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a 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. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the

fuel cap (A, Figure5).

2. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. To allow for expansion of the

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

3. Reinstall the fuel cap.

Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level

This unit is equipped with two transmission oil tanks. One

transmission oil tank only supplies oil to one transmission.

The level of oil in both transmission tanks must be checked,

and if necessary, filled.

Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.

1. Location the transmission oil tanks (A, Figure 6).

Not for

Reproduction

2. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil should be

up to the "FULL COLD" mark (B). If the oil is below this

level, proceed to step #3.

3. Before removing the tank caps (C), make sure the area

around the tank cap and fill neck of the tank is free of

dust, dirt, or other debris. Remove the tank cap.

4. Add oil up to the "FULL COLD" mark.

5. Reinstall the tank caps.

6. After adding oil to the tanks, it may be necessary to purge

air from the hydraulic system. If the unit is not driving

properly, see your dealer.

Purging the Air from the Hydraulic

System

Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydraulic drive

systems, it is critical that it be purged from the system.

These purge procedures should be implemented any time a

hydraulic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance

or any additional oil has been added to the system.

The resulting symptoms of air in the hydraulic system may be:

• Noisy operation.

• Lack of power or drive after short term operation.

• High operation temperature and excessive expansion of

oil.

Before starting, make sure the transaxles/transmissions are

at the proper oil levels. If it is not, fill to the specifications

outlined in the Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level procedure.

Purging Air from the Hydraulic System:

1. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from

rolling. Raise the rear of the machine so that the vehicle’s

rear tires do not contact the ground. Position jack stands

under the rear bumper of the machine to secure it.

2. Open the transaxle’s bypass valves (see Pushing the

Rider by Hand for the location and function of the bypass

valves), start the engine, release the parking brake, and

slowly move the zero-turn rider’s ground speed control

levers in both forward and reverse directions (5 to 6

times), as air is purged from the unit, the oil level will

drop.

3. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

4. Close the transaxle’s bypass valves, start the engine,

release the parking brake, and slowly move the zero-turn

rider’s ground speed control levers in both forward and

reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is purged from the

unit, the oil level will drop.

5. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands from

underneath the machine.

6. Repeat the process detailed above but with the unit's

drive wheels on the ground. The procedure should be

performed in an area free of any objects or bystanders.

It may be necessary to repeat the process detailed above

until all the air is completely purged from the system. When

the transaxles/transmissions operate at normal noise levels

and move smoothly forward and reverse at normal speeds,

then the transaxles/transmissions are considered purged.

Starting the Engine

WARNING

• If you do not understand how a specific control

functions, or have not yet thoroughly read the Features

& Controls section, do so now.

• Do NOT attempt to operate the rider without first

becoming familiar with the location and function of all

controls.

1. While sitting in the operator's seat, make sure that:

• the PTO switch is disengaged,

• the parking brake is engaged, and

• the ground speed control levers are locked in the

START/PARK position.

2. Set the engine speed control past the FAST position to

the CHOKE position.

Note:A warm engine does not require choking.

Note:Some engines are equipped with a separate choke

control.

Note:Some engines are equipped with a ReadyStart®

feature, and do not feature a choke.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to

START.

Not for

Reproduction

4. After the engine starts, turn off the choke (if equipped),

and warm up the engine by running it for at least a minute

before engaging the PTO switch or driving the rider.

5. After warming the engine, always operate the unit at full

engine speed when mowing.

In the event of an emergency the engine can be stopped

by simply turning the ignition switch to STOP. Use this

method only in emergency situations. For normal engine shut

down follow the procedure given in Stopping The Rider And

Engine.

Stopping the Rider and Engine

1. Movethe ground speed levers to the middle (or neutral

‘N’) position to stop rider movement. Move the levers

outward to lock them in the START/PARK position.

2. Engage the parking brake by moving the parking brake

lever fully back, in toward the operator, and forward into

the locking notch.

3. Disengage the PTO by pushing down on the PTO switch.

4. Move the engine speed control to the SLOW position and

turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the key.

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 7.

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.

Not for

Reproduction

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.

Not for

Reproduction

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!

Not for

Reproduction

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.

Check the Spark Plugs

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic

amputation, or laceration.

When testing for spark:

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

NOTICE

Spark plugs have different heat ranges. It is important that

the correct spark plug is used, otherwise, engine damage

can occur. Replace the spark plug with the same type or

equivalent one.

Clean Spark Plug

Clean the spark plug with a wire brush and sturdy knife. Do

NOT use abrasives.

Check Spark Plug Gap

Use a spark plug feeler gauge (A,Figure23) to check the

gap between the two electrodes. When the gap is correct, the

gauge will drag slightly as you pull it through the gap.

To adjust the spark plug gap, use a spark plug gauge and

gently bend the curved electrode. Make sure that you do not

touch the center electrode or the porcelain. 

Storage

WARNING

Fire and Explosion Hazard

Never store the unit (with fuel) in a closed structure without

sufficient airflow. 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.

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.

• Do all recommended checks and procedures found in this

manual.

• Let the engine warm up for several minutes before use.

Storage - Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for

more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with fuel,

addSTA-BIL 360°

PROTECTION™to the fuel as specified

by the manufacturer’s instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and

decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel

system.

It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine whenSTA-

BIL 360°

PROTECTION™is added as instructed. Before

storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel

and stabilizer through the fuel system.

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

Not for

Reproduction

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.
