*This limit was determined per International Standard ISO 5395-3:2013,

Section 4.6 and is based on the ISO 5395-3 Stability Test procedure

described in Annex A. The 10 degree “limit of stability” is equal to 60%

of the angle at which machine lift-off occurred in static tests. Actual

dynamic stability may vary depending on operating conditions.

Slope Identification Guide

How to measure the slope of a lawn surface with a

smartphone or an angle finder tool:

WARNING

Do not operate on slopes greater than degrees.

1. Use a straight edge at least two (2) feet long (A, Figure

2). A 2x4 or a straight piece of metal works well.

2. Angle finder tools.

a. Use your smartphone: Many smartphones (B,

Figure 2) have an inclinometer (angle finder) located

under the compass application (app). Or, search an

app store for an Inclinometer app.

b. Use angle finder tools: Angle finder tools (C & D,

Figure 2) are available at local hardware stores or

online (also called inclinometer, protractor, angle

meter, or angle gauge). Dial type (C) or digital type

(D) work, others may not. Follow user instructions

with the angle finder tool.

3. Place the two (2) feet long straight edge along the

steepest part of the lawn slope. Place the board up and

down the slope.

4. Lay the smartphone or angle finder tool on the straight

edge and read the angle in degrees. This is the slope of

your lawn.

Note:A paper gauge slope identification guide is included

in your product literature packet and is also available to

download from the manufacturer's website.

Allow unit to cool before storing.

WARNING

Unsafe Operation Hazard

Do not load this zero-turn rider on a trailer or truck using

two separate ramps. Only use a single ramp that is at least

one foot wider than the width of the rear wheels of this rider.

This rider has a zero turning radius and the rear wheels

could fall off the ramps, or the rider could tip over injuring

the operator or bystanders.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip

over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel

uneasy on a slope, do not operate on it.

Control of a zero-turn riding mower sliding on a slope will

not be regained by the application of the brake. The main

reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire grip on the

ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of

machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the

ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.

1. Avoid turning down slopes; if possible turn up slopes.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop or

change speeds while on the slope.

4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

5. Do NOT operate down slope towards or near water,

retaining walls, or drop-offs.

6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If machine

stops forward motion on a slope, stop the blades and

drive slowly off the slope.

7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could

cause the machine to rollover.

8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass

catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability

of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.

9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on

the ground (ride-on units).

10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

Not for

9

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. Give

yourself a minimum of two mower widths of clearance

around these hazards.

11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.

12. Do not mow slopes you cannot back up.

13. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

14. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even

through the brakes are functioning properly.

15. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn

slowly and gradually up slopes, if possible.

WARNING

Unsafe Operation Hazard

Never operate on slopes greater than 10 degrees, a rise of

3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in a 20 feet (607 cm) length.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In

addition to front weights, use extra caution when operating

on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers.

Avoid turning down slopes; if possible turn up slopes. Use

caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR

STOP ON A SLOPE.

Towed Equipment (Ride-On Units)

1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight

limit for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause

loss of traction and loss of control.

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit

and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will

remain where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of another responsible adult.

2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and

down for small children.

4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They may

fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe unit

operation. Children who have been given rides in the past

may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride

and be run over or backed over by the machine.

5. Never allow children to operate the unit.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Emissions

1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals

known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm.

2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air

Index information on the engine emissions label.

2. Use only approved gasoline containers.

3. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

4. Never fuel the machine indoors.

5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is

an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as near a water

heater or other appliance.

6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed

with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before filling.

7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do

not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

10. Never over-fill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

11. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They

are flammable and vapors are explosive.

12. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors

have dissipated.

13. Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps

securely.

Oil Recommendations

Oil Capacity: See the Specifications section.

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty

Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality

detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG,

SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for

the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

A SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard

starting.

B 10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause

increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

C Synthetic 5W-30

D 5W-30

Check Oil Level

See Figure: 4

Before adding or checking the oil

• Make sure the engine is level.

• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 4) and wipe with a clean

cloth.

2. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 4).

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Correct oil

level is at the top of the full indicator (B, Figure 4) on the

dipstick.

4. If oil level is low, slowly add oil into the engine oil fill

(C, Figure 4). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one

minute and then recheck the oil level.

Note:Do not add oil at the quick oil drain , if equipped. For

location, see Features and Controls.

5. Reinstall and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 4).

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)

will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the

equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil

level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it touches

the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for the correct oil

pressure before you continue to operate the machine.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks,DO NOT

start the engine. Contact an authorized service dealer to

correct the oil pressure problem.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane / 87 AKI (91 RON). For high

altitude use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

NOTICE Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15

and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to

run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will cause

damage to engine components, which will not be covered

under warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel

stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the

same. If starting or performance problems occur, change

fuel providers or change brands. This engine is certified to

engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85

octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable.

For carbureted engines, high altitude adjustment is

required to maintain performance. Operation without this

adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased

fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Contact

a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for high

altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at

altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

adjustment is not recommended.

For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, no high altitude

adjustment is necessary.

Driving

Zero Turn Driving Practice

Before attempting to drive the zero-turn riding mower make

sure you have read the Features and Controls section

and understand the location and function of all of the unit’s

controls.

The ground speed control levers of this zero-turn riding

mower are responsive, and learning to gain a smooth and

efficient control of the unit’s forward, reverse, and turning

movements will take some practice.

Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown

and becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels,

and steers, before you begin mowing, is absolutely

essential to getting the most out of the zero-turn riding

mower.

Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn, one with plenty of

room to maneuver. Clear the area of objects, people, and

animals before you begin. Operate the unit at mid-throttle

during this practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle

when mowing), and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and

damage to your lawn.

We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure,

and then advance through the forward, reverse, and turning

maneuvers.

Smooth Travel

The lever controls of the Zero Turn rider are responsive.

The BEST method of handling the ground speed control

levers is in three steps — as shown in Figure 7.

FIRST place your hands onto the levers as shown.

SECOND, to go forward gradually push the levers forward

with your palms.

THIRD, to speed up move the levers farther forward. To slow

down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral.

Basic Driving

Forward Travel Practice

Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly

FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.

NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top

speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing

Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this

manual.

Reverse Travel Practice

LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground

speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down

and repeat.

NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before

attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in

reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes

practice.

Practice Turning Around A Corner

While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return

back toward neutral. Repeat several times.

NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best

to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.

Practice Turning in Place

To turn in place, “Zero Turn,” gradually move one ground

speed control lever forward from neutral and one lever back

from neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.

Not for

Reproduction

15

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or

back, changes the “pivot point” you turn on.

Advanced Driving

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn

Your Zero Turn Rider’s unique ability to turn in place allows

you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than

having to stop and Y-turn before starting a new row.

For example, to execute a left end-of row zero turn:

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

2. Move the RIGHT ground speed control lever forward

slightly while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever

back to center and then slightly back from center.

3. Begin mowing forward again.

This technique turns the rider LEFT and slightly overlaps

the row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut

missed grass.

As you become more familiar and experienced with operating

the Zero Turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that will

make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.

Remember, the more you practice, the better your control

of the Zero Turn will be!

Storage

WARNING

Fire and Explosion Hazard

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, unventilated

structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such

as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel in Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or

other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition

sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Disengage the PTO, lock the ground speed levers in the

START/PARK position, and remove the key.

Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry

place and keep fully charged during storage. If the battery is

left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system

or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use

Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment

& Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine

service parts are sold.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine

for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel

system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24

months.

If gasoline in the tank has not been treated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.

Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a

fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to

maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

• Perform all recommended checks and procedures found

in this manual.

• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before

use.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive

Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque

values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower

values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power

values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments.

Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating

conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine

may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety

of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor,

fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine

variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for

this engine.

Note:The engine information contained in this manual applies

to Briggs & Stratton engines only. For information regarding

non-Briggs engines, refer to the engine manual supplied with

your unit.
