SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & DECALS  
Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off  
the blades and stop the engine.  
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.  
Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner  
or if the mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of  
damage. Repair mower as necessary.  
Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open  
sandals. Wear only solid shoes with good traction when mowing.  
Never allow operation by untrained persons.  
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Operate self-propelled machines up and down slopes. There is significant  
risk of overturns when operating across slopes. Avoid sudden turns. Operate  
walk-behind machines across slopes. There is a significant risk of slipping  
under a walk-behind machine when operating up and down slopes..  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.  
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary,  
before restarting.  
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.  
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and  
use extra caution when servicing them.  
Do not operate at too fast a rate.  
Do not mow close to ditches, embankments or drop-offs. An edge could  
collapse. A mower wheel over the edge could suddenly turn the unit over.  
Do not mow on wet grass if possible. Wet grass causes reduced traction and  
could cause sliding.  
Do not park on a slope unless absolutely necessary. Always chock or block  
wheels and set parking brake if parked on slope.

OPERATING YOUR NEW ZTR MOWER  
The operation of any cutter can encounter foreign objects to be thrown into the  
eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or  
wide-vision safety goggles for over spectacles before staring any cutting machine  
and while operating such a machine.  
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the  
human ear. Ear protection is recommended.  
CAUTION!  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of  
children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing  
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw  
them.  
SLOPE OPERATION!  
Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees.  
Use extra caution when mowing on slopes. Operate self-propelled units

OPERATING YOUR NEW ZTR MOWER (cont.)  
STARTING MOWER  
CONTROLS  
TO START: Position steering handles outward to  
neutral locked position. Engage parking brake.  
Extend throttle to full choke position. Start ignition  
and slide throttle lever back to full throttle position.  
Allow engine to warm up for 1 minute. Release  
parking brake  
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM: This  
mower is equipped with an operator’s presence  
system. Any attempt to leave the seated position  
while the engine running, without first disengaging  
the PTO switch and placing the steering levers in the  
neutral position will cause the engine to shut off.  
FORWARD MOVEMENT: To move the mower  
forward gently push both steering levers forward equal  
distance from the neutral position. The further you  
move the levers forward the faster you will travel.  
CAUTION steering levers have quick response  
timing.  
WARNING: Do not operate the machine unless  
the Operator’s Presence System if functioning as  
described.  
PARKING BRAKE: Always set the parking  
brake before starting. The parking brake is located  
on the drivers left hand side. Engage the parking  
brake by pushing the lever rearward and down until  
lever locks into position. Be sure to release parking  
brake before operating the machine.  
BACKWARD MOVEMENT: To move the  
mower backwards, gently pull back on the steering  
levers the same distance from neutral. The further you  
pull back the faster you will travel. NOTE it is  
normal for the reverse speed to be less than the  
forward for easier turning.  
TURNS: For left turn, move the right lever farther  
forward then the left. For right turn, move the left  
lever farther forward than the right. To obtain a tight  
turning radius, GENTLY reverse one lever and push  
the other lever forward. CAUTION: Aggressive  
turns can damage lawns. Do not make turns with the  
inside wheel stopped. It it better to keep both wheels  
turning slightly.  
IGNITION: The ignition switch is located on the  
drivers right hand side toward the rear of the seat.  
The ignition switch has three positions: OFF, ON,  
START.  
THROTTLE: The throttle\choke control is  
located on the drivers right hand side towards the  
front of the seat. For maximum performance and  
battery charging operate at full throttle. When  
starting a cold engine, place lever forward in the full  
choke position. After start up, move throttle  
rearward to full throttle position. Move lever all the  
way to the rear for lowest setting before shutting off  
engine.  
DECK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: To raise the  
mower deck up and down, simply rotate the lever  
located in front of the seat above the floor plate.  
Clockwise raises the deck. Counterclockwise lowers  
the deck. The deck is adjustable from 1 ½” to 3 ½”.  
For best performance, grass over 6 ½” in height should  
be mowed once in the highest position and once again  
at desired cut height.  
PTO SWITCH: The PTO, or Power Take Off  
switch is used to engage the blades of the mower.  
When the PTO switch is pulled out the blades will be  
engaged. When the PTO switch is pushed in the  
blades will be disengaged. The PTO switch must be  
pushed in to complete the Operator’s Presence  
System to start engine.  
ENGAGING BLADES: Operator must be seated  
for operation of blades. With engine to full throttle  
position, pull UP on PTO switch located between the  
throttle and the key switch. To disengage blades, push  
DOWN on PTO switch.  
STOPPING ENGINE: Place both levers in the  
outward neutral locked position. Push PTO switch in  
to disengage. Place throttle lever to lowest setting and  
let idle for 30 seconds. Turn off ignition key and  
engage parking brake.  
NEUTRAL LOCK: The steering levers must be  
in the outward and locked position for the mower  
to start the engine. ( See page 13)

Start the mower engine.  
Position the throttle lever about halfway and engage PTO switch. Reposition throttle  
lever to full throttle position.  
Move steering levers forward to begin mowing.  
CAUTION: Always make sure the deck is not plugged with grass or other debris.  
Failure to do this will cause damage to the PTO belt.  
STOPPING: Hydrostatic mowers use hydrostatic braking through the transmissions.  
To slow or stop the unit move the steering levers to the neutral position  
STOPPING THE ENGINE: Move the throttle lever to slow position, allow engine  
to idle for 30 seconds and turn ignition to off position. CAUTION: Failure to  
position the ignition key to any position except off will cause discharge of the battery.

SERVICE / ADJUSTMENTS  
CAUTION: Before performing any service or adjustments do as follows:  
1. Turn off PTO switch.  
2. Position unit on smooth flat surface.  
3. Place steering levers in outward, neutral-locked position.  
4. Turn ignition key “OFF” and set parking brake.  
5. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect spark plug wire.  
TRACKING  
Adjustments to the unit may need to be made if the unit does not track in a  
straight line. The primary reason for the unit not tracking straight is incorrect or  
unbalanced tire pressure. Before making any adjustments first check and adjust  
the tire pressure. DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TIRE  
PRESSURE.  
ADJUST LINKAGE: Place steering levers outward locking them in the neutral  
position. Turn off engine and raise seat. Under the seat are (4) adjustment  
bolts. The two adjustment bolts toward the seat mount are adjustments for the  
forward travel. The two bolts toward the engine are for the reverse travel.  
Clockwise movement for these adjustments will decrease or slow the travel  
speed of the individual side. Counterclockwise movement will increase the  
travel of the individual side. The linkage is factory set to maximum  
performance. Adjustment is made by rotating the adjustment bolt clockwise on  
the opposite side that the unit tracks toward. Adjust forward and reverse to track  
straight as needed. When accomplished adjustment to the steering levers may  
need to be done. This is made by loosening the the two bolts on the steering  
lever and aligning with the other. Travel of the steering levers from front to rear  
may be accomplished in the same manner.
