Operation

Before Starting
Make the following checks and perform the service
required before each start-up:
1. Check the tire pressure; add or release air as needed
to bring pressure to 15 PSI in front and 12 PSI in rear.
2. Check guards, deflectors and covers to make sure all
are in place and securely tightened.
3. Check engine oil and add oil as needed. Refer to
"How To Check/Add Oil".
4. Adjust the seat as needed to the most comfortable
position. Refer to "Operator Seat Adjustment".
5. Check the blade control to insure it works freely. If the
blade pedals are depressed, the blade lever can be
moved manually from "ON" to "OFF" to stop the blade.
6. Check the Reverse Lockout Mechanism. With the
blade pedals depressed, the shift lever must not go
into reverse.
7. Clean the exterior surfaces of the cutting deck and
engine of any accumulation of dirt, grass, oil, etc.
Keep the engine air intake screen and cooling fins
clear at all times.
8. Add fuel to the fuel tank. Refer to "How to Add Fuel".
Oil 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.
