*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.

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.

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.
