SAFETY

WARNING!

When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in

illustrations) shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the

risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen.

Ask your retailer for help in choosing the right equipment.

Personal Safety Equipment

• Make sure that you have fi rst aid equipment

close at hand when using the machine.

• Never use the machine when barefoot.

• Always wear protective shoes or boots,

preferably with steel toe caps.

full visor when assembling or driving.

• Always wear gloves when handling the blades.

• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught

in moving parts.

• Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or

death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If

you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees

maximum), not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other

hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn

the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will

not have to stop while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose

traction.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope.

If tires lose traction, disengage blades and

proceed slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and

gradual. Do not make sudden changes in

speed or direction, which could cause the

machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with

grass catchers or other attachments; they can

affect the stability of the machine.

Personal protective equipment 8011-670a

SAFETY

Safe Handling of Gasoline

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use

extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is

extremely fl ammable and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and

other sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the

engine running. Allow engine to cool at least

two (2) minutes before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

where there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot

light such as on a water heater or other

appliances.

• Before you begin refueling, minimize the risk of

static electricity by touching a metal surface.

• Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a

truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always

place containers on the ground away from your

vehicle when fi lling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the

truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If

this is not possible, then refuel such equipment

with a portable container, rather than from a

gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• 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.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

• Never overfi ll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and

tighten securely.

• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.

• Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

• If leaks arise in fuel system, engine must not

be started until problem has been resolved.

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.

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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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.

First time users should push mower (see “Moving by

Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, fl at 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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When control levers are in the reverse

position they return to neutral when

released. This may cause the mower to

suddenly stop.

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, fi rst 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.

8011-603a

Mowing pattern

Mowing Tips

• Observe and fl ag rocks and other fi xed 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 fi rst 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 fi nest 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 fl ooding water on top surface,

engine and electrical components.

• When the mulching kit is used, it is important

that the mowing interval is frequent.

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.

Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more

frequently under severe conditions). Refi ll with service

class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specifi ed in the

Viscosity Grades table.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil

will fl ow more freely and carry away more impurities.

Make sure the engine is level when fi lling, 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 fi ll cap/dipstick

before removing it.

2. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil fi ll cap/

dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for

complete drainage.

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Synthetic oils meeting the listed

classifi cations 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 identifi es the API

service class and SAE viscosity grade.

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).

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 specifi ed 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 fl ames, sparks, or a

pilot light such as in a boiler,

hot water tank, clothes drier,

etc. Handle the fuel with care.

It is very fl ammable and can

cause serious personal injury

and property damage. Drain the

fuel into an approved container

outdoors and far away from

open fl ame. 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 refi t 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.
