If you are not familiar with the operation of a walk behind mower with a transmission, the steering and ground speed operations should be learned and practiced in an open area, away from buildings, fences, or obstructions.

Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow forward travel.

Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain a smooth operating action.

Practice operating the mower until you are comfortable with the controls before proceeding to mow.

CAUTION

Disengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

CAUTION

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

FORWARD TRAvEL

To travel forward with the mower, select the desired speed using the transmission shift lever, pull steering / brake control levers upward, release the neutral latch for both sides and slowly release both the left and right steering / brake control levers. The higher the gear selected using the transmission shift lever, the faster the machine will travel.

To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull upward on the right steering / brake control lever. The further the lever is pulled upward, the quicker the mower will turn right.

To travel in reverse, select the reverse gear using the transmission shift lever, pull steering / brake control levers upward, release the neutral latch for both sides and slowly release both the left and right steering / brake control levers.

Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

- NOTE -

The mower may not travel straight in reverse.

To stop the forward travel, pull upward on the steering / brake control levers, lock the neutral latches and shift the transmission into neutral.

To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull upward on the left steering / brake control lever. The further the lever is pulled upward, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer left while traveling in reverse, pull upward on the left steering / brake control lever. The further the lever is pulled upward, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer right while traveling in reverse, pull upward on the right steering / brake control lever. The further the lever is pulled upward, the quicker the mower will turn right.

To stop the reverse travel, pull upward on the steering / brake control levers, lock the neutral latches and shift the transmission into neutral.

- NOTE -

Smooth operation of the steering / brake control levers will produce smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

4.6 ENGAGING THE DECk DRIvE (CUTTER

BLADES)

1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine speed when engaging the deck drive.

2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow switch, located on the instrument panel, to the engage position. See Figure 4-2.

PULL UP TO ENGAGE

PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE

4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION

WARNING

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. ALWAYS

FOLLOW OSHA APPROvED OPERATION.

1. This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires lose traction, disengage blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

3. Avoid sudden starts when mowing on slopes.

4. Travel across the slope whenever possible. Never up and down the slope.

5. Keep tires properly inflated.

Figure 4-2. Cutter Engage Switch

- NOTE -

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. This is normal.

3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the disengage position.

4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.

4.8 PARkING THE MOWER

1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface only. Do not park the machine on an incline.

2. Disengage the cutter blades.

3. Lock the neutral latches and shift the transmission into the neutral position.

4. Slow the engine to idle speed.

5. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

Section 4

4.9 AFTER OPERATION

1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical components.

- IMPORTANT -

Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water will damage the engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine if it is hot.

2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.

3. Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.

4.11 MOvING MOWER WITH ENGINE

STOPPED

To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the engine running, engage the neutral latches, shift the transmission to neutral and move the mower by hand.

4.12 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING

1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and reduced mowing power.

DANGER

To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.

4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper octane requirements.

5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.

4.10 REMOvING CLOGGED MATERIAL

DANGER

ROTATING BLADES

NEvER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE

CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!

Shut off the engine and remove the key and only then use a stick or similar object to remove material if clogging has occurred.

1. If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then resume normal mowing.

WARNING

DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute,

Mulching kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly installed.

2. The discharge chute must not be removed and must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by thrown objects.

3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass for best appearance). Mow frequently.

4. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

5. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice.

Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first pass and then make a second pass to the desired height.

6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.

7. Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting.

Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at full speed.

8. Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the grass.

However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly inflated.

6.2 THROTTLE CONTROL AND CHOkE

ADJUSTMENTS

CUTTER DECk LEvEL

These adjustments must be performed by your Scag dealer to ensure proper and efficient running of the engine. Should either need adjustment, contact your authorized Scag service center.

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side of the machine, check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

R

19

R

Section 6

1. On the front of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck adjustment slots. See Figure 6-2.

ADJUSTMENT SLOT

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind the cutter deck height adjustment bracket. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of the cutter deck height adjustment bracket. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

1. Loosen the two (2) elastic stop nuts. Adjust the cutter deck up or down in the adjustment slot to adjust until the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on both sides of the machine.

2. Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

6.6 ELECTRIC CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT SLOT

The electric clutch serves two functions in the operation of the mower. In addition to starting and stopping the power flow to the cutter blades, the clutch also acts as a brake to assist in stopping blade rotation when the PTO is switched off or the operator presence circuit is interrupted.

Figure 6-2. Cutter Deck Adjustment Slots

2. Loosen the two (2) elastic stop nuts. Adjust the cutter deck up or down in the adjustment slot to adjust until the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on both sides of the machine.

3. Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

When the clutch is disengaged, the air gap between the armature and rotor must be adjusted to fifteen thousandths of an inch, 0.015, for proper operation. The airgap adjustment is made at three bolts on the clutch. There are three inspection windows, one next to each adjusting bolt.

See Figure 6-3.

INSPECTION WINDOW (x3)

CUTTER DECk PITCH

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Figure 6-3. Clutch Air Gap Adjustment

1. Locate the inspection windows on the clutch.

2. Place a 0.015 feeler gauge in the slot between the rotor and the armature. See Figure 6-4.

20

Section 6

INSERT 0.015 FEELER GAUGE HERE

R

If the air gap is too narrow, the clutch armature may drag when disengaged, resulting in premature failure.

If the air gap is too wide, the clutch may be slow to engage as the magnet must pull the armature in from a greater distance.

Figure 6-4. Clutch Air Gap Adjustment

3. Tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt as needed to acheive the 0.015 inch airgap. See Figure 6-5.

Perform this operation at all three inspection windows.

ADJUSTMENT NUTS
