central time, with an Exmark Parts Plus order of six (6) line items or less.
If order is received by 3:00 p.m. central time, Exmark ships part(s) direct to dealer or customer, as requested by
distributor, same day, overnight UPS, Exmark bills the distributor for parts and shipping charges, where applicable.
The customer pays for the part and freight if it is shipped under the Exmark Parts Plus and if it arrives in
accordance to the program.
Who pays for the part and freight if it fails to arrive overnight in accordance to the program?
A. Under any circumstance the customer does not pay.
B. If the part does not arrive overnight due to:

pays for the part and freight.
2. The Distributor being unable to ship the part the same day or not submitting the Exmark Parts Plus order
to Exmark by 3:00 p.m., central time, the Distributor pays for the part and freight.
3. Exmark being unable to ship the part and the Exmark parts order is received by 3:00 p.m., central time,
Exmark pays for the part and freight.
4. If the part does not arrive overnight due to the shipper (UPS), the shipper pays for the freight and Exmark
pays for the part.

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is
an odorless deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also known to the
State of California to cause birth defects.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from
an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by spark.
♦ Refuel only in a well ventilated area, or refuel
outdoors.
♦ Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
♦ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
♦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.
♦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.
Move away from the area of the spill and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and
cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
♦ Always place gasoline containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
♦ Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow
the loss of any static charge.
♦ When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
♦ If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
♦ If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the
design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon
the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of the personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment. It is essential
that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition prior
to use for mowing.
1.4.1

1.4.3
1.4.4
When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction
and/or control could occur. Mow across slopes with walk behind mowers, never
Up and down. Loss of control and/or loss of operator’s footing could result in a fall
with an arm or leg getting under the mower or engine deck and sustaining serious
DO NOT
injury. Drive slower on slopes.
operate on slopes greater than 20
Degrees. Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises which can cause erratic
handlebar movement and loss of footing. Keep away from drop-offs and steep
banks. Avoid sudden starts. Look down and behind you before and while moving
DO NOT
backwards.
mow slopes when grass is wet - slippery conditions create
hazardous footing, affect steering, and reduce traction and braking. The operator

e) Before making height adjustments.
1.4.13 Before stopping the engine, return the throttle control to the idle position for 30
seconds to allow the engine to cool down.
1.4.14 The fuel system is provided with a shut-off valve. The fuel shut-off valve is used
to shut off the fuel when:
a) The machine will not be used for a few days
b) During transport to and from the job
c) When parking inside a building
1.4.15 This mower was designed for one operator only. Keep all others away from

3.12 Follow pre-start instructions as outlined in Section 4.2.
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 CONTROLS
4.1.1 Familiarize yourself with the controls and operation of the unit.
Carefully read the following information about the controls and their operation.
4.1.2 Drive Levers:
Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below the handle grips.
These levers individually control clutching action of the wheel drive belts and
brakes. When the drive levers are all the way down, the wheel drive belts engage
and the brakes disengage. Squeezing the left or right hand drive lever causes the
left hand or right hand wheel to slow down or stop, which makes the machine turn
to the left or right respectively. The sharpness of the turn varies by how much the
lever is squeezed. If both levers are squeezed all the way back, both brakes will
engage and the machine will stop. For straight ahead motion, smoothly release
both drive levers to engage both drive wheels simultaneously.
4.1.3 Neutral Lock/Parking Brake Latches:
Located directly above the drive levers. The purpose of these latches is to allow the
operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where neither the wheel drive
belts nor the brakes engage or in a “park brake” position where the wheel drive
belts are not engaged and the park brake is engaged. To lock the drive levers in
neutral, squeeze the drive levers back, place thumbs on the upper portion of the
neutral lock/park brake latches and move them to the rear. Release drive levers.
To lock the drive levers in “park brake” position, squeeze the drive levers back,
place thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock/park brake latches and move
them ahead. Release drive levers as stated in 4.1.2. (See Figure 13).
Apply parking brakes whenever leaving the operators position.

4.1.4
Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers:
Located on the upper handle assembly directly above the handle grips. When
these levers are depressed, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the
normal operator's position. When the levers are released, the OPC system
senses that the operator has moved from the normal operating position and will
kill the engine if either the transmission shift lever is not in the neutral position or
the blade clutch is engaged.
4.1.5
4.1.6
Blade Engagement Lever:
Located on the left side of the upper handle. To engage the blades, push the
lever forward, or away from the operator, until the turnbuckle locks over-center.
To disengage the blades, pull the lever to the rear, or towards the operator, until
the bell crank, located at the rear of the engine deck, contacts the deck.
Throttle-Choke Control:
The throttle-choke control lever is located on the control console right side. Choke
aids in starting a cold engine. The choke control is a part of the throttle control and
activates by moving the throttle control lever to the full forward position. You will
notice a detent at the "full throttle” position (approximately 3/4" from top of slot)
continue pushing forward into the "choke" position.
Once the engine has started, move the throttle control lever to the midway point
and allow the engine to warm-up before going to full throttle.
All 12.5 HP Kawasaki, Kohler, and B&S 10.5 hp engines are equipped with
"throttle kill" as a standard feature. Moving the throttle control lever to the full rear
position will kill the engine. You will notice the control lever will fall into a detent
at the "idle" position, continuing rearward past this detent will shut off the engine.
15 & 17 HP Kawasaki engines do not have “throttle kill”. The key switch is turned
to the “Off” position to kill the engine.
(15 &17 HP Kawasaki only)
“Off-Run” Switch : Located on the console. Turn key
4.1.7
to the “Run” position to allow the engine to be started. Turn key to the “Off”
position to shut engine off.

4.1.8
Transmission Shift Lever:
Located under the control console and behind the fuel tank. It shifts the 5-speed
only
transmission into five forward gears, neutral and reverse. Shift transmission
neutral
when drive levers are in the
position. Shifting without drive levers in
neutral may cause damage to the transmission.
NOTE: Reverse is "reverse assist" only, meaning when the transmission is
in reverse, the operator has to pull the unit backward to "assist"
with the movement of the unit.
4.1.9
Fuel Shut-Off Valve:
Installed on the fuel line midway between the fuel tank and the engine. The fuel
shut off valve shuts off the flow of fuel when the machine will not be used for a
few days, when parking inside a building, and during transport to and from the
job. Rotate the valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut off fuel. Rotate the valve 1/4
turn counter-clockwise to turn on fuel.
4.2 PRE-START
4.2.1 Refer to the Maintenance Section 5.1 and perform all of the necessary inspection
and maintenance steps.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from
an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by spark.
♦ Refuel only in a well ventilated area, or refuel
outdoors.
♦ Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
♦ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
♦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.
♦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.
Move away from the area of the spill and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated.
4.2.2
Fill fuel tank. For best results, use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline
may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will require
more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual.

Do not add oil to gasoline.
Do not
overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a
level that is ½” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and
prevent fuel spillage.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and

truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow
the loss of any static charge.
♦ When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
♦ If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
♦ If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ If the ignition is in the “ON” position there is potential
for sparks and engagement of components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Sparks could cause an explosion or moving parts
could accidentally engage causing personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Be sure ignition switch is in the “OFF” position.

5.2 ADJUSTMENTS
5.2.1 Adjusting cutting height with blade spacers.
Blades may be adjusted for cutting height by using the four 1/4" spacers found
on the blade spindle bolts (factory setting is two above and two below). This
allows a 1" range in 1/4" increments of cutting height in any axle position. The
same number of blade spacers must be used on all blades to achieve a level cut
(two above and two below, one above and three below, etc.).
For the best cut and discharge, place a minimum of two spacers between the
blade and spindle shaft.
For the highest quality cut, place all four spacers between the blade and the
spindle shaft.
If the mulching kit is installed, the highest quality cut can be obtained with 3
spacers between the blade and spindle (minimum is 1 for a good cut).
If you need to cut higher or lower than what the spacers will allow, it will be
necessary to adjust the rear axle height and caster position. See Section 5.2.2
below.
5.2.2
Axle height and caster position.
Desired cutting height range can be obtained by adjusting the rear axle and
placing caster spacers above or below the caster arm (See Figures 15 and 16).
It may be necessary to readjust wheel drive and brake linkages.
To adjust rear axle:
a) Stop engine and remove spark plug wire(s).
b) Place the drive levers in the neutral lock position.
c) Remove mower deck belt shield for access to axle adjustment belts.
d) Loosen but do not remove the two (2) axle pivot bolts and the two (2) axle
adjustment bolts (See Figure 16).
e) Place a jack under the rear center of the engine deck.
f) Raise the back end of the engine deck up enough to remove the two (2) axle
adjustment bolts.
g) With the jack, raise or lower the back end of the engine deck so that two (2)
axle adjustment bolts can be reinstalled in desired hole location. A tapered
punch can be used to help align the holes.
h) Retighten all four (4) bolts, lower unit and remove jack.
i) Install mower deck belt shield.
j) Adjust wheel drive and brake linkages as required. (See Sections 3.8.5 and
3.8.6).
k) Using the appropriate chart for your unit, adjust the caster spacers as
directed to match with the axle hole selected. (See Figure 16) Refer to the
charts and illustrations on the following pages to properly adjust for desired
cutting height.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
b) To tighten transmission belt, loosen the 3/8" nyloc nut on transmission belt
idler pulley. Slide bolt inward in slot and retighten nyloc nut.
c) When properly adjusted, the belt should have 1/2" of deflection with three pounds
of pressure on the belt midway between the transmission and engine pulley.
5.2.4
Wheel drive belts and scrapers.
a) If wheel traction appears to be slipping, drive lever rods may be touching
bottom of neutral lock/park brake latch slot. To adjust, refer to Section 3.8.5.
NOTE: There are three (3) adjustment holes for the wheel drive spring
tension bolt (Refer to Section 5.2.15).
b) Be sure mud and grass scraper, on each side, is adjusted properly and centered
in the pulley grooves. The pointed part of the scraper should be centered and as
deep in the pulley groove as possible without rubbing at any point.
5.2.5
Engine to cutter deck belt.
a) Stop engine and remove spark plug wire(s).
b) Check the adjustment of the lower blade drive linkage located between the
bellcrank on the engine deck and assist arm on the mower deck. Lengthen or
shorten the linkage. When properly adjusted, there should be 1/16" to 1/8" of
clearance between bell-crank and transmission output shaft when belt is
engaged. Make sure the assist arm is against the rear assist arm stop on the
deck (See Figure 17). Push the lever down to the disengaged position. The
assist arm should contact the front assist arm stop on the deck. If it does not
contact, readjust so that the bellcrank is closer to the transmission output shaft.
c) Belt must be tight enough to not slip during heavy loads while cutting grass.
Overtensioning will reduce belt and spindle bearing life. To adjust belt
tension, loosen the 5/16" whizlock nut on turnbuckle and rotate the
turnbuckle; rotate turnbuckle toward rear of mower to tighten, and toward
front of mower to loosen belt tension (See Figure 17). Leave a minimum of
.31” (5/16”) of the eyebolt threads engaged on both ends of the turnbuckle.
For 48” Decks: If there is no adjustment left in the turnbuckle and the belt is
still loose, the rear idler pulley can be repositioned in the front hole (See Figure
17). The belt guide located next to the pulley must also be repositioned in the
front hole when the pulley is moved. The turnbuckle will need to be readjusted.
Check belt tension after the first hour of operation and at least twice during the
first 24 hours of operation. Adjust as necessary.

6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
6.1 MOWER PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT.
a) Check idler arm pulleys and drive sheaves for mud and/or grass buildup.
Check for proper scraper position. See 5.2.4.
b) Check to be sure idler arms pivot freely, if not, lubricate idler pivots.
c) Check for worn drive belts.
NOTE: Wheel drive belts should be replaced as a set. A new belt should not
be mixed with a worn belt.
d) Check drive linkage adjustment - See 3.8.5.
e) Check for proper tire pressure in drive tires. Recommended tire pressure for
the drive tires is 12 to 16 psi. Higher pressures may be used in the tire on
the side that it pulls to (up to 28 psi).
Note: Different pressures may make mower cut unevenly.
6.2 MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.
a) Check the drive tire pressure and tire circumference. See 5.1.9.
A more uniform cutting height may be obtained with higher tire pressure on
rough terrain. A lower tire pressure provides more flotation.
b) Check blade spacers, axle positions, and front caster spacers. They must be
equal on each blade.
c) Check caster mounting brackets to be sure all bolts are tight.
d) Check blades tip to tip for straightness. (They should be within 3/16" or one
blade width from being in line.)
6.3 BLADES DO NOT STOP WHEN DISENGAGED.
a) Check the blade brake adjustment. (See Section 5.2.6)
b) Check the belt guide under the rear deck to make it is properly set. (See
Section 5.2.7) and check the blade engagement adjustment. (See Section
5.2.3)
6.4 ENGINE WILL NOT START.
a) Refer to Section 4.3.2 and follow directions to make sure engine is being
properly choked.
b) Make sure transmission is in "true neutral" position. See Sections 3.8.4 (c).
c) Check that the blades are disengaged and the blade switch is depressed (See
Section 5.2.12).
d) Check that there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open.
e) Check that the spark plug wire(s) is/are properly connected.
f) Check for loose or faulty wiring connections.
g) Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may
cause a faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly, apply
dielectric grease and reconnect.
h) For 15 & 17 HP Kawasaki: Check that the key switch is in the “Run” position.
