The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward. When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still. By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively. In order, for example, to turn right while moving forward, move the right control towards the neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right. Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver. 8011-789 Steering controls WARNING! The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other. 1 2 3 4 8011-7912 1. Forward 2. Neutral 3. Neutral slot, Neutral lock 4.

WARNING! Do not run the starter for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before retrying. 8011-748 Ignition Switch Fuses The fuses are located in a holder to the left of the hydraulic tank. They are flat pin fuses of the same type used in automobiles. There are three fuses as well as a socket for one spare fuse. Fuse ratings and functions: • 20 A, Primary fuse. • 7.5 A, Mower deck coupling. • 7.5 A, Accessory outlet. • Socket for spare fuse. 8011-746 Fuses English-21 CONTROLS Refueling Read the safety instructions before refueling. The machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just behind the seat. The tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.4 liters). Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and keep the cap properly tightened. The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage to the engine and components may occur. When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting. 8011-524 Fuel tanks IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable. Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see the safety instruction). WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if touched. Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before refueling WARNING! Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. English-22 Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. CONTROLS Seat Lock Under the rear section of the seat is a lock device to lock the seat into a folded position. The seat has a linked fixture at the front edge and can be folded forward when the lock is pushed. 8011-440 Seat lock Fuel shut off valve The fuel shut off valve is located at the right rear of the seat. The valve has three positions; right tank, left tank and center (OFF). 8011-506 Fuel shut off valve Seat adjustment lever The seat can be adjusted lengthways. When making adjustments, the lever under the front edge of the seat is moved the left (as seen by the operator in the seat). The seat can then be moved forward or backward. 8011-441 Lengthways adjustment English-23 CONTROLS Choke control The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. For cold starts, pull the control out to its extent. 8011-508 Choke control Throttle control The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out (see Engaging the Mower Deck). In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forward or back respectively. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging. 8011-509 Throttle control Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 17 different cutting height positions. The cutting height is set by placing a peg in the hole for the desired cutting height and the peg is then locked on the inside (hidden in illustration) with the supplied pin. • Pull the lever backward to the locked position to engage the transport position. The deck is then fully raised. • To lower, squeeze the lock handle up to the lifting lever while moving the lever forward. When the lever meets the set peg, the desired height is set. • The lifting lever can also be used to temporarily adjust the cutting height, such as when passing over a minor bump in the lawn.

Set peg Mower deck lifting lever CONTROLS Cutting height lift pedal On some models, there is a deck assist lift pedal to aid in maneuvering the deck lift. IMPORTANT INFORMATION In order to obtain an even cutting height it is important that the air pressure in all four tires is the same 15 psi (1 bar). 8011-465 Lift pedal Pump release valves IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only rotate the valve ¼ to ½ turn to release the system. Tighten the valve moderately. Do not overtighten the valve when closing. Overtightening can damage the valve seat. Pump release valves are located on the pumps. These valves release the system so the machine may be moved by hand when not running. Tilt the seat forward to gain access to the valves. Use a 5/8" wrench to open the valve. 8011-507 Pump release valve Accessories For mulching, there is a BioClip attachment available. The BioClip is mounted underneath the mower deck and includes control plates and BioClip blades. 8011-566 BioClip attachment English-25 OPERATION Operation Read the “Safety Instructions” section and the following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine. Training Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities. We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with controls. We also suggest first time users, or new users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controls and zero turning capability, they may damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers. Steering To move forward and backward The direction and speed of the mower’s movements is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) on each side of mower. The left control lever controls the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right wheel. IMPORTANT INFORMATION When control levers are in the reverse position they return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop. First time users should push mower (see “Moving by Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, flat area, without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In order to move unit under its own power, the operator must be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting” in “Operation” section), adjust engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as the control levers have not been moved forward or backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral position and mower should English-26 stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. To turn to the right While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. To turn to the left While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. To zero turn While moving in a forward direction, first pull both control levers back until the mower stops or slows dramatically. Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward position and the other in the reverse position. OPERATION Roll bar and safety belt Operate the unit with the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use the seat belt. There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. If it is necessary to lower roll bar, do not wear the seat belt. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits. WARNING! The seat belt must be used when the roll bar is in upright position. 8011-464 Roll bar in upright position Before Starting • Read the sections “Safety Instructions” and “Controls” before starting the machine. • Perform the daily maintenance before starting (see Maintenance Schedule in the Maintenance section). • Check that there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tank. • Adjust the seat to the desired position.

The engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is a odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Do not use the machine in enclosed spaces. English-30 8011-754 Set the engine speed OPERATION To start an engine with a weak battery WARNING! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries. If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See “Battery” in the Maintenance Section.) If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower to start other vehicles. To attach jumper cables • Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis. • Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery. • Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and battery. 8011-642 Jumper cable connection To remove cables, reverse order • Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery. • Remove RED cable last from both batteries. English-31 OPERATION Running 1. Release the parking brake by moving the lever downward. Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine. 2. Move the steering controls to the neutral position (N). 8011-511-1 Released parking brake 3. Select the cutting height by placing the peg in the corresponding hole for desired height. Lock the peg in place on the inside with the pin. 4. Squeeze the lock handle up to the lifting lever while moving the lever forward to meet the set peg. 5.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower deck’s gauge wheels should be evenly adjusted. 8011-561 Select the cutting height 6. Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade switch. 7. Move throttle control to full throttle. 8. The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. When both controls are in the neutral position, the machine stands still. By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively. WARNING! Ensure that no one is near mower when engaging blade switch. English-32 8011-510 Engaging the mower deck OPERATION Operating on hills Read the Safety Instructions “Driving on Slopes” in the “Safety Instructions”. WARNING! Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do not drive across slopes. • The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills. • Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. • If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the parking brake. 8011-640 Stopping conditions IMPORTANT INFORMATION Control levers return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop. • To restart movement, release the parking brake. • Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and press forward to regain forward motion. • Make all turns slowly. 8011-511-1 Released parking brake English-33 OPERATION Mowing Tips • Observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects to avoid collisions. • Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained. The average lawn should be cut to 2½" (64 mm) during the cool season and over 3" (76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth. For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height. • The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively affecting the mowing result. • The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. The lawn becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher operating speed can be used without poor mowing results. • Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling. • Hose the mower deck underside with water after each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall be raised into the transport position. Make sure the mower is cooled and the engine is off. • Use compressed air to clean top surface of the deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, engine and electrical components. • When the mulching kit is used, it is important that the mowing interval is frequent. English-34 WARNING! Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades. 8011-603a Mowing pattern WARNING! Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid sudden directional changes. OPERATION Stopping the Engine Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it, if it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling. 1. Disengage the mower deck by depressing the blade switch. 8011-510 Disengaging the mower deck 2. Raise the mower deck by pulling the lifting lever backward to the transport position. 3. When the machine is standing still, activate the parking brake by pulling the lever backward. 4. Move the throttle to the minimum position (tortoise symbol). Turn the ignition key to the stop position. Never use the choke to stop the engine. 5. Move the steering controls outward. 6. Remove the key when leaving the mower to prevent unauthorized use. 8011-753 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Raise the mower deck Leaving the ignition switch in any other position than “OFF” will cause the battery to be discharged and the hour meter to accumulate hours.

It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts. English-50 LUBRICATION Lubricating the Cables If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation. If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom. Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced. Shaft Bushings and Linkage Lubricate the bearing of the shafts and linkage for brake system and steering with oil spray or oil can. Lubricating with the Lubrication Schedule Hydraulic System, Oil Level The hydraulic oil and filter must be replaced every 300 hours, and at least once a year. Contact an authorized service workshop. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank daily. The level shall be about ¾"-1" (19 - 25 mm) below the top of the tank. Check connections, hoses, and tubes for damage or leaks. Replace or repair if doubtful. Changing Oil and Filters Oil and filter changes for the hydraulic system should be carried out by an authorized service workshop due to the risk of impurities enter the system. Driver’s Seat Tip the seat. Lubricate the front hinges using an oil can. Lubricate the lengthways adjustment mechanism with the oil can. Lubricate the lengthways adjustment runners with the oil can. Checking the hydraulic oil 8011-565 WARNING! If a leak is suspected, use a piece of cardboard or wood, NOT your hands, to check for leaks. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces. 8011-571 Lubricating the lengthways adjuster under the seat English-51 LUBRICATION Engine Oil Changing the Engine Oil Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking or changing the oil. Change the oil as follows: 1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before removing it. 2. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil fill cap/ dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage. 3. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened to 10 ft. lb. (13.6 Nm) torque. 4. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type, to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to the section on Oil Type. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil. 5. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten securely. 6. Start the engine. Run it for a few seconds and recheck the oil level. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be disposed of on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills. IMPORTANT INFORMATION To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. English-52 WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool to a safe temperature first. LUBRICATION Checking the Oil Level The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use as follows: 1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan. 2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the dipstick before removing it. 3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. 4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. 8011-471 Oil dipstick 5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to Oil Type, page . Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil. IMPORTANT INFORMATION To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. 8009-159 Level marking English-53 LUBRICATION Oil Recommendations Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure. Oil Type Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil or extending oil change intervals longer than recommended can cause engine damage. Temperature range expected before next oil change * Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable, up to 40 oF (+4 oC). ** Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold below -10 oF (-23 oC). 8011-046 Viscosity grades table IMPORTANT INFORMATION Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications may be used with oil changes performed at the recommended intervals. However to allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or rebuilt engine should be operated for at least 50 hours using standard petroleum based oil before switching to synthetic oil. A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API service class and SAE viscosity grade. English-54 LUBRICATION Throttle and Choke Cables, Lever Bearings Lubricate the cable ends by the carburetor with the oil can. Move the controls to the end points and lubricate again. The throttle cable is also lubricated by the control when the control console is removed. On Kohler engine the cables are placed under the air filter housing. Front Wheel Mount Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel mount, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. Front Wheel Bearings Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each set of wheel bearings, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.

English-58 STORAGE Winter Storage At the end of the mowing season, the machine should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine function. Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the sticky residues that can occur during storage. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and the carburetor if you have added stabilizer WARNING! Never store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact with open flames, sparks, or a pilot light such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes drier, etc. Handle the fuel with care. It is very flammable and can cause serious personal injury and property damage. Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors and far away from open flame. Never use gasoline for cleaning. Use a degreaser and warm water instead. To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps: 1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the mower deck to avoid corrosion. 2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose. 3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly. 4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the carburetor. 5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and then refit the spark plug. 6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles. 7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct cold. 8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover it for extra protection. Service When ordering spare parts, please specify the purchase year, model, type, and serial number. Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts. An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its best the following season.
