CONTROLS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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 operate
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage
for additional information. Do not use engine or
carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure for the rear tires is 15 psi (1 bar).
1. Tracking adjustments are made using the
tracking bolts. The tracking bolts limit the
motion control levers when in the full-forward
position.
2. For preliminary tracking adjustment, move
unit to an open, unobstructed area such as an
3. Using a 1/2" wrench, back the tracking bolts
4. Test operate unit by driving it at full throttle
and the full forward position on both motion
control levers. Gradually turn in the tracking
bolt on the right hand side until the unit
noticeably starts drifting right.
5. Drive forward at full throttle with both motion
control levers in the full forward position.
Gradually turn in the left tracking bolt until unit
tracks straight.

Read the Safety section and following pages, if
you are unfamiliar with the machine.
Training
Due to unique steering capabilities, zero turn
mowers are far more maneuverable than typical
riding mowers.
Review this section fully prior to trying to move the
the mower or until becoming comfortable with
controls, use a reduced throttle speed and
reduced ground speed. DO NOT move control
levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions
during initial operation.
First time users must become familiar with the
mower's movement on a hard surface, such as
concrete or blacktop PRIOR to trying to operate
on turf. Until the operator becomes comfortable
with the mower controls and zero turning
capability, overly aggressive maneuvers may
damage turf.
Steering
To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower's
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 must push the mower (see
Moving Machine By Hand in the Operation
persons, vehicles or obstacles nearby. To move
the unit under its own power, the operator must
sit in the seat and start the engine (see Before
Starting in the Operation section). Adjust the
engine speed to idle, disengage the park brake
but do not engage the blades at this time. Pull
control levers inward. As long as the control levers
have not been moved forward or backwards, the
mower will not move.
Slowly move both control levers forward slightly.
This will let the mower start moving forward in a
straight line. Pull the control levers back to the
neutral position and stop the mower from moving.
Pull back slightly on control levers, allowing the
mower to move backwards. Push the control
levers forward to the neutral position to stop the
mower from 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.
MANTENIMIENTO
Ajuste del equipo de corte
Nivelación del equipo
Ajuste el equipo mientras el cortacésped esté en
Consulte Datos técnicos / Transmisión. Si los
neumáticos tienen aire de menos o de más,
el equipo no puede ajustarse correctamente.
Levante el equipo hasta la posición más alta (de
transporte).
El equipo se debe ajustar en un punto ligeramente
más alto en la parte trasera.
NOTA: Para garantizar la precisión del procedimiento
de nivelación, la correa de transmisión del equipo
de corte debe instalarse antes de nivelar el equipo.
1. Use guantes resistentes. Gire cada punta de la
cuchilla para alinearla la parte delantera con la
trasera con el equipo de lado a lado.

esta medida.
3.
medida sea la misma. Si es necesario hacer
ajustes, con una llave de 3/4" o una llave inglesa,
gire las tuercas de ajuste de la articulación de
elevación en cada lado hacia la izquierda para
bajar o hacia la derecha para subir. Ajuste hasta
que ambas medidas sean iguales.
4. Gire cada cuchilla para alinearla con el equipo
desde la parte delantera a la trasera. Si la
punta de la cuchilla delantera no se encuentra
6,35 mm a 9,525 mm debajo de la parte
trasera, extraiga la placa de pie para acceder
la delantera plataforma ajuste. Use una llave
inglesa para girar las tuercas en el varillaje de
la suspensión delantera. Girar en el sentido
de las agujas del reloj hará que se levante la
parte delantera del cortacésped, y contra el
sentido de las agujas del reloj se baja la parte
delantera. Adjuste la tuerca hasta que la punta
de la cuchilla delantera se encuentra 6,35 mm
a 9,525 mm debajo de la parte trasera.
NOTA: Esto colocará el equipo de corte en una
posición de medida estándar. En función del tipo
de pasto que éste cortando o las condiciones
ambientales, es posible que deba realizar ajustes
adicionales para lograr el corte deseado.
