MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark  
plug to prevent accidental starting of the engine  
when servicing, adjusting or storing the machine.  
10. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on  
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or  
loss of control. Be especially cautious when  
changing directions on slopes.  
2. If the mower must be tipped to perform mainte-  
nance or adjustment, remove the battery if it has  
one, drain the gasoline from the fuel tank and the  
oil from the crankcase.  
WARNING:  
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a  
slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck  
down). If the machine can back up the slope  
without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and  
use extreme caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA  
APPROVED OPERATION.  
3. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine  
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and  
accumulations of dirt.  
4. Be sure the machine is in safe operating condition  
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check  
the blade mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be  
sure they are tightened.  
11. Do not touch the engine or muffler while the  
engine is running or soon after it is stopped.  
These areas could be hot enough to cause a burn.  
5. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-  
nanceadjustment, keephands, feet, clothingand  
other parts of the body away from the cutter deck  
blades and other moving parts.  
12. Before leaving the operator’s position or leaving  
the mower unattended, shift the transmission into  
neutral, place the neutral latches in the neutral  
lock position, and move the blade engagement  
switch to OFF. Shut the engine OFF and remove  
thekey.  
6. Do not overspeed the engine by changing gover-  
nor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy,  
haveanauthorizeddealercheckmaximumengine  
speed with a tachometer.  
13. Do not pass or stand on the grass discharge side  
of any mower with the engine running. Stop  
operation when another person approaches.  
7. The engine must be shut off before checking the  
oil or adding oil to the crankcase.  
8. Allow the engine to cool before storing the  
mower in any enclosure such as a garage or  
storage shed. Make sure the fuel tank is empty if  
the machine is to be stored in excess of 30 days.

-NOTE-  
TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT  
When the PTO is engaged or (possibly) disen-  
gaged, a squealing sound from the underside of  
the machine is normal. It is caused by the  
electric clutch plates meshing as the cutter  
blades come up to speed. For best equipment  
life, engage the clutch with the engine at 1/2  
throttle, not under full load.

(SeeFigure3)  
The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of  
1-inch to 4-1/2 inches at 1/2-inch intervals. To adjust the  
cuttingheight:  
-NOTE-  
Dress the blade with a file. Using a wheel  
grinder may burn the blade. Check the balance  
of the blade. If blades are out of balance,  
vibration and premature wear of spindle assem-  
bly can occur. See your authorized Scag dealer  
for blade balancing or special tools if you  
choose to balance your own blades.  
WARNING:  
Do not adjust the cutting height with the mower  
blades rotating. Shut off the engine and remove  
the ignition key. Bodily injury could occur from  
the rotating blades. Lift cutter deck by the handles

of the appropriate one year or ninety day warranty period. Scag’s obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively  
limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them

performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time or inconve-  
nience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-  
tion or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.
