CONTROLS
Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously
variable using the two steering controls. The steering
controls can be moved forward or backward about
a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral
position, which is locked if the steering controls are
moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the
machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and
the machine turns to the right.
8011-788
Steering controls
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero
turning is determined by which steering control is
moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left
steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns
to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly if

Refueling
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just
behind the seat. The tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.4
liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and
keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical
Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not
allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage
to the engine and components may occur.
8011-524
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
Fuel tanks
WARNING!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank
outdoors (see the safety instruction).
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 run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions
for additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system,
become very hot during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to
cool at least two (2) minutes before
refueling
WARNING!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not
overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil
or fuel. Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.

OPERATION
Read the “Safety Instructions” section and the
following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine.
to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on
control levers to the neutral position and mower should
stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this
will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push
forward on control levers to the neutral position and
mower should stop moving.
Training
Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than
typical riding mowers due to their unique steering
capabilities.
To turn to the right
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety
prior to attempting to move the mower under its own
power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced
ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the
furthest forward or reverse positions during initial
operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with
controls. We also suggest first time users, or new
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with
the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as
concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate
on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with
mower controls and zero turning capability, they may
damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.
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.
To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever
back towards the neutral position while maintaining
the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation
of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, first pull both
control levers back until the mower stops or slows
dramatically.
Steering
To move forward and backward
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward
position and the other in the reverse position.
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements
is effected by the movement of the control lever(s)
on each side of mower. The left control lever controls
the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right
wheel.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When control levers are in the reverse position
they return to neutral when released. This may
cause the mower to suddenly stop.
First time users should push mower (see “Moving by
Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, flat area,
without other people or vehicles or obstacles nearby.
To move unit under its own power, the operator must
be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting”
in “Operation” section), adjust engine speed to idle,
disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at
this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as
the control levers have not been moved forward or
backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both
control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower

OPERATION
Mowing Tips
•
Observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects to
avoid collisions.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other
objects that can be thrown out by the
blades.
•
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until
the desired mowing result is attained. The average
lawn should be cut to 2½" (64 mm) during the
cool season and over 3" (76 mm) during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often after moderate growth.
•
•
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15
cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the
first cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height.
The mowing result will be best with a high engine
speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed
(the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not
too long and dense, the driving speed can be
increased without negatively affecting the mowing
result.
•
The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often.
The lawn becomes more even and the grass
clippings more evenly distributed over the mown
area. The total time taken is not increased as a
higher operating speed can be used without poor
mowing results.
8011-603a
•
•
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn,
clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under
the cowling.
Mowing pattern
Hose the mower deck underside with water after
each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall
be raised into the transport position. Make sure the
mower is cooled and the engine is off.
WARNING!
Never drive the rider on terrain that
slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow
slopes up and down, never side
to side. Avoid sudden directional
changes.
•
•
Use compressed air to clean top surface of the
deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, engine
and electrical components.
When the mulching kit is used, it is important that
the mowing interval is frequent.

•
1.To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine,
clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick
before removing it.
•
2.Remove the oil drain plug and the oil fill
cap/dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for
complete drainage.
•
•
3.Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is
tightened to 10 ft. lb. (13.6 Nm) torque.
4.Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper
type, to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer
to the section on Oil Type. Always check the
level with the dipstick before adding more oil.
•
•
5.Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten
securely.
6.Start the engine. Run it for a few seconds
and recheck the oil level.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and must
not be disposed of on the ground or in nature;
it should always be disposed of at a workshop
or appropriate disposal location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water
in case of spills.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain the proper oil level in the
crankcase. Never operate the engine with the

Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ
or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Temperature range expected before next oil change
Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher oil or extending oil change intervals
longer than recommended can cause engine
damage.
*
Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is
acceptable, up to 40 oF (+4 oC).
**
Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme
cold below -10 oF (-23 oC).
8011-046
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Viscosity grades table
Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications
may be used with oil changes performed
at the recommended intervals. However to
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least
50 hours using standard petroleum based oil
before switching to synthetic oil.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API
service class and SAE viscosity grade.

STORAGE
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
Winter Storage
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under
the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint
and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the
mower deck to avoid corrosion.
At the end of the mowing season, the machine should
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for
longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long
periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky
residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt
engine function.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have
become loose.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to
the sticky residues that can occur during storage.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for
at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it
reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and
the carburetor if you have added stabilizer
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start
the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the
carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over
the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and
then refit the spark plug.
WARNING!
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct
cold.
Never store an engine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel vapor
can come in contact with open
flames, sparks, or a pilot light such
as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes
drier, etc. Handle the fuel with care.
It is very flammable and can cause
serious personal injury and property
damage. Drain the fuel into an
approved container outdoors and
far away from open flame. Never
use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover
it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its
best the following season.
