t. Motion Control Levers

The machine's speed and direction are continuouslyvariable usingthe two steeringcontrols. Thesteeringcontrolscan be moved forwardorbackward about a neutral position.Furthermore,there is a neutral position,which is locked if thesteedng controls are moved outward.

When both controlsare in the neutral position(N), the machine stands still.

By movingboth controlsan equal amountforward or backward, the machine moves inastraight line forward or backward respectively.

In order,for example, to turn dght while movingforward, move the dght controltowards the neutralposition.The rotationof the dght wheel is reducedand the machine turnsto the dght.

Zero turn can be achieved by moving one controlbackward (behind the neutral position) and carefullymoving the other steering control forward from itsneutral position. The rotation direction when zeroturning is determined by which steering control ismoved backward behind the neutral position. If theleft steering control is pulled backward, the machineturns to the left. Use extra care when using thismaneuver

Experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol ormethanol) can attract moisture whichleads to separation and formation ofacids during storage. Acidic gas candamage the fuel system of an enginewhile in storage. To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should beemptied before storage of 30 days orlonger. Drain the gas tank, start theengine and let it run until the fuel linesand carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuelthe next season. See StorageInstructions for additional information.Never use engine or carburetor cleanersin the fuel tank or permanent damagemay occur.

OPERATION

Operation

Read "Safety Instructions"section and followingpages, if you are unfamiliarwith the machine.

Training

Zero tum mowers are far more manueverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steeringcapabilities.

We suggestwhen firstoperating the mower, use a reduced throttlespeed and reduced groundspeed byNOT movingcontrollevers to the furthest forwardor reverse positionsduring initialoperation,or untiloperator becomes comfortablewith controls.We also suggest first time users, or new usersto ZeroTummowers to become familiar with the mowers movementon a hard surface, suchas concrete or blacktopPRIOR to attemptingto operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controlsand zeroturningcapability,they may damage turfdue to over aggressivemaneuvers.

To move forward and backward

The direction and speed of the mowers movements is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) oneach side of mower. The left controllever controlsthe leRwheel. The rightcontrollever controls the rightwheel.


When control levers are in the reverseposition they return to neutral whenreleased, This may cause the mower tosuddenly stop.

First time users shouldpush mower (see "Moving by Hand" in the "Operation" section)to an open, fiat area,withoutother people orvehicles/obstaclesnear by. In order to move unit under itsown power, the operatormust be inthe seat, start engine (see "Before Starting"in "Operation" section), adjustengine speed to idle,disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward.As long as thecontrol levers have not been moved forward or backwards, mowerwill not move. Slowly move both controllevers forward slightly,thiswill allow mowerto start movingforward in a straight line. Pull back on controlleversto the neutral positionand mower should stop moving. Pull back slightlyon control levers, thiswillallow mower to start moving backwards.Push forward on control levers to the neutral positionand mowershouldstop moving.

To turn to the right

While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutralpositionwhile maintainingthe positionof the left lever, thiswill slow the rotationof the rightwheel and cause the machineto turn inthat direction.

To turn to the left

While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintainingthe position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn inthat direction.

To zero turn

While moving in a forward direction,firstpull bothcontrol levers back until the mower stopsor slowsdramatically.Then by alternatingone lever slightlyto the forward positionand the other in the reverseposition.

Mowing Tips

Observe and flag rocks and other fixedobjectsto avoid collisions.

Begin with a highcuttingheightandreduce it until the desired mowingresultis attained.

The average lawn shouldbe cutto 2 1/2"(64 mm) during the cool season and over3" (76 mm) during the hot months.Forhealthier and better lookinglawns, mowoften after moderate growth.

For best cuttingperformance,grass over6" (15 cm) in heightshould be mowedtwice. Make the firstcut relativelyhigh;the second to the desired height.

The mowingresult will be best with ahigh engine speed (the blades rotaterapidly) and low speed (the rider movesslowly). If the grass is not too long anddense, the ddving speed can beincreasedwithout negativelyaffectingthe mowingresult.

The finest lawnsare obtained by mowingoften. The lawn becomesmore even andthe grass clippingsmore evenlydistributedoverthe mown area. The totaltime taken is not increased as a higheroperatingspeed can be used withoutpoor mowingresults.

Avoid mowingwet lawns. The mowingresult is poorer because the wheels sinkinto the soft lawn, clumps build,and thegrass clippingsfasten underthe cowling.

Hose the mower deck undersidewith

water after each use. When cleaning,themower deck shall be raised intothetransport position.Make surethe moweris cooled and the engine is off.

Use compressedair to clean top surfaceof the deck. Avoid floodingwater on topsurface, engine and electdcalcomponents.

When the mulchingkit is used, it isimportantthat the mowing interval isfrequent.

Front-to-back adjustment


Deck must be leveled side-to-side, prior toleveling front to back. If the following frontto back adjustment is required, be sure toadjust both front and rear linkages equallyso the deck will stay level side to side.

To obtainthe best cutting performance, thedeck shouldbe adjustedso the fronttip of theblades are approximately 1/8" (3.2 ram) to1/4" (6.5 mm) lower than the rear tip. If thefront tip is higher, this will create a poorquality of cut.

STORAGE

Storage

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the machineshould be readied for storage (or if it will not be inuse for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed tostand for long periodsof time (30 days or more)can leave stickyresiduesthat can foul thecarburetor and disrupt engine function.

Fuel stabilizersare an acceptable option asregards to the stickyresiduesthat can occurduringstorage.

Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in thestorage container.Always use the mixingratiosspecifiedby the manufacturer of the stabilizer.Run the engine for at least 10 minutes atteradding the stabilizer so that it reaches thecarburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and thecarburetor if you have added stabilizer.

WARNING!

Never store an engine with fuelin the tank indoors or in poorlyventilated spaces where fuelvapor can come in contact withopen flames, sparks, or a pilotlight such as in a boiler, hotwater tank, clothes drier, etc.Handle the fuel with care. It isvery flammable and carelessuse can cause serious personalinjury and property damage.Drain the fuel into an approvedcontainer outdoors and faraway from open flame. Neveruse gasoline for cleaning. Usea degreaser and warm waterinstead.

To ready the machine for storage, follow thesesteps:

1. Thoroughlyclean the machine, especiallyunder the mower deck. Touch up damage tothe paintand spray a thin layer of oil ontheundersideof the mower deck to avoidcorrosion.

2. Inspectthe machine for worn or damagedparts and tighten any nutsorscrews that mayhave become loose.

3.

4.

Change the engine oil; disposeof properly.

Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.Start the engineand allow it to run untilthecarburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizerhas reached the carburetor.

5.

6.

7.

Remove the spark plug and pour about atablespoonof engine oil into the cylinder.Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenlydistributedand then refit the spark plug.

Lubricateall grease zerks, joints, and axles.

Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and storethe batteryin a cool place, but protect itfromdirect cold.
