WARNING:
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and can throw objects that can
cause injury and damage! Failure to comply with the following SAFETY instructions could result in serious
injury or death to the operator or bystanders. The owner of the machine must understand these instructions
and must allow only persons who understand these instructions to operate machine. Each person operating
the machine must be of sound mind and body and must not be under the influence of any substance, which
might impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
Protection

for Children

9. DO NOT put your foot on the ground to try to stabilize
the machine.
10. DO NOT operate machine on wet grass. Reduced
traction could cause sliding.
11. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will
not have to stop or shift on a slope. Tires may lose
traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.
12. DO NOT operate machine under any condition where
traction, steering or stability is doubtful.
13. Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. DO NOT shift to neutral (or actuate hydro roll
release) and coast downhill.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine 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 a responsible adult.
2. DO NOT allow children or others to ride on machine,
attachments or towed equipment (even with the
blades OFF). They may fall and be seriously injured.
3. ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with
mature judgment under close adult supervision to
operate machine.
4. DO NOT operate blades in reverse. STOP BLADES.
LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets
and hazards before and while backing.
5. USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Before Mowing
1. Read, understand, and follow instructions and warnings in this manual and on the machine, engine and
attachments. Know the controls and the proper use of
the machine before starting.
2. Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the
machine and only after proper instruction.
3. Data indicates that operators age 60 and above,
are involved in a large percentage of mower-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.
4. Handle fuel with extra care. Fuels are flammable

Protection against Tipovers
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 the slope, DO
NOT mow it. Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments; these affect the handling and the stability of
the machine. Refer to the Slope Guide at the end of this
section.

and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved fuel
container. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with
engine running. Add fuel outdoors only with engine
stopped and cool. Clean spilled fuel from machine. DO
NOT smoke.

1. DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10
degrees, which is 3.5 feet (1.1 m) vertically for every
20 feet (6.1 m) horizontally.
2. Turn blades OFF when traveling uphill. Use a slow
speed and avoid sudden or sharp turns.
3. DO NOT operate machine back and forth across face
of slopes. Operate up and down. Practice on slopes
with blades off.

5. Practice operation of machine with BLADES OFF to
learn controls and develop skills.
6. Check the area to be mowed and remove all objects
such as toys, wire, rocks, limbs and other objects that
could cause injury if thrown by blade or interfere with
mowing.
7. Keep people and pets out of mowing area. Immediately STOP blades, STOP engine, and STOP machine
if anyone enters the area.
8. Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade controls
and other safety devices frequently for proper operation and location.

4. AVOID starting, stopping or turning on slopes. If
machine stops going uphill or tires lose traction, turn
blades OFF and back slowly straight down the slope.
5. STAY ALERT for holes and other hidden hazards. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Keep away from ditches,
washouts, culverts, fences and protruding objects.
6. KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE of at least 3 feet (.9 meters)
away from edge of ditches and other drop offs. The
machine could turn over if an edge caves in.
7. Always begin forward motion slowly and with caution.
8. Use weights or a weighted load carrier in accordance
with instructions supplied with a grass catcher. DO
NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10 degrees.

9. Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible. Replace if damaged.
10. Protect yourself when mowing by wearing safety
glasses, a dust mask, long pants and substantial
footwear.

1 1. Know how to STOP blades and engine quickly in
preparation for emergencies.
12. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

General Operating Safety
1. Mount and dismount machine from left side. Keep
clear of discharge opening at all times.
2. Start engine from operator's seat. Make sure blades
are OFF and parking brake is set.
3. DO NOT leave machine with engine running. STOP
engine, STOP blades, SET brake, and Remove key
before leaving operators position of any reason.
4. DO NOT operate machine unless properly seated with
feet on rests or pedal(s).
5. STOP BLADES and ENGINE and make sure blades

13. Check grass catcher components frequently for signs
of wear or deterioration and replace as needed to
prevent injury from thrown objects going through weak
or worn spots.

Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
2. Use only an approved fuel container.
3. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
4. DO NOT refuel the machine indoors.
5. DO NOT store the machine or fuel container inside

have stopped before removing grass catcher or unclogging mower to prevent loss of fingers or hand.
6. Blades must be OFF except when cutting grass. Set
blades in highest position when mowing over rough
ground.
7. Keep hands and feet away from rotating blades underneath deck. DO NOT place foot on ground while
BLADES are ON or machine is in motion.
8. DO NOT operate machine without entire grass
catcher or guards in place and working. DO NOT point
discharge at people, passing cars, windows or doors.
9. Slow down before turning.
10. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roadways.
11. STOP engine immediately after striking an obstruction. Inspect machine and repair damage before

truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place the
containers on the ground away from the vehicle before
filling.
7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the vehicle or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel equipment using a portable container,
rather than a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
8. DO NOT start gas powered equipment in enclosed
vehicles or trailers.
9. Keep the 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
10. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
11. Never overfill a fuel tank. Replace fuel cap and tighten

other gas appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine in an enclosure. Store fuel container out
of the reach of children in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.
2. Keep engine free of grass, leaves or excess grease to
reduce fire hazard and engine overheating.
3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved
container outdoors and away from open flame.
4. Always provide adequate ventilation when running
engine. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly poison.
5. Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery before
performing maintenance or service. Cranking engine
could cause injury.
6. DO NOT work under machine without safety blocks.
7. Service engine and make adjustments only when engine is stopped. Remove spark plug wire(s) from spark
plug(s) and secure wire(s) away from spark plug(s).
9. DO NOT change engine governor speed settings or
overspeed engine.
10. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades
or wear heavy leather gloves and use CAUTION when
handling them.

Oil Recommendations

Fuel 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.

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) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

°F

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 Storage. All fuel is not the
same. If starting or performance problems occur, change
the fuel providers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control system
for the engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude
* Below 400F (40 C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.

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 Craftsman Service Dealer for

** Above800 F (270C) the use of 10W30may cause

Before Storage
Before storing the unit perform the following steps:
1. Turn the mower blade OFF, move the transmission
shift lever to Neutral (N), set the parking brake, and
remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
3. Remove battery and store in a cool place. Recharge
about once a month. If the battery is left in the unit,
disconnect the negative cable.

Protect

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 FRESH START® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate
cartridge.
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.
If gasoline in the engine 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.

After Storage
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
1. Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
2. Fill with FRESH fuel.
3. After starting, allow the engine to warm before
operating.

Engine Power Rating Information: The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled
in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE
J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600
RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are
placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine
will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site"
or net power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (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 Series engine.

2. DESCONECTE las cuchillas cuando se desplace
cuesta arriba. Utilice una velocidad lenta evitando
giros bruscos.
3. NO maneje la maquina hacia delante y hacia atras
en medio de las pendientes. Manejela hacia arriba y
hacia abajo. Practique sobre las pendientes con las
cuchillas desconectadas.
4. EVITE arrancar, detenerse, o girar en pendientes. Si la
maquina se detiene mientras sube o los neumaticos
pierden tracci6n, DESCONECTE las cuchillas y
retroceda lentamente en linea recta hacia abajo.
5. ESTE ALERTA ante la presencia de hoyos y otros
peligros ocultos. La hierba alta puede ocultar obstaculos.
Mantengase lejos de cunetas, deslaves, alcantarillas,
cercas y objetos que puedan salir proyectados.

Informaci6n
de clasificaci6n
de potencia del motor La clasificaci6n de potencia bruta para
el modelo de motor de gasolina individual est& etiquetada de acuerdo con el codigo J1940
(Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) de la SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers),
y la clasificaci6n de rendimiento ha sido obtenida y corregida de conformidad con SAE J1995
(Revision 2002-05) Los valores de pares motor han sido obtenidos a 3060 RPM; los valores
de caballos de fuerza han sido obtenidos a 3600 RPM. La potencia bruta real del motor
resultar& disminuida y se vet& afectada pot, entre otros elementos, las condiciones
ambientales
de funcionamiento
y variabilidad entre motores. Dado el amplio conjunto de productos en
que son colocados los motores y la variedad de cuestiones ambientales pertinentes para el
funcionamiento
del equipo, el motor de gasolina no desarrollar& la potencia nominal bruta
cuando sea utilizado en un componente dado de equipamiento
de motor (caballos de fuerza
efectivos "in situ" o netos). Estas diferencias se deben a una amplia variedad de factores,
incluidos entre otros, accesorios (limpiadores de aire, tubos de escape, carga, refrigeracion,
carburador, bomba de combustible),
limitaciones de aplicaci6n, condiciones ambientales de
funcionamiento
(temperatura,
humedad, altitud), y la variabilidad entre motores. A causa de las
limitaciones de fabricacion y de capacidad, Briggs & Stratton podr& sustituir una mayor potencia
clasificada para este motor de serie.
