WARNING
This powerful cutting machine is capable of amputating
hands and feet and can throw objects that can cause
injury and damage! Failure to comply with the following
SAFETY instructions could result in serious injury or death
to the operator or other persons. The owner of the machine
must understand these instructions and must allow only
persons who understand these instructions to operate
machine. Each person operating the machine must be of
sound mind and body and must not be under the influence
of any substance, which might impair vision, dexterity or
judgment.
Carbon Monoxide Warning
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill
you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste
it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could
still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start
to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product,
shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from win-
dows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
Protection for Children
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. 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. 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 a responsible adult other than the opera-
tor.
2. DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is oper-
ated (even with the blade OFF).
3. DO NOT allow children or others to ride on machine,
attachments or towed equipment (even with the blades
OFF). They may fall and be seriously injured.
4. DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate machine.
5. ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with mature
judgment under close adult supervision to operate
machine.
6. DO NOT operate blades in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. STOP BLADES. LOOK and SEE behind and
down for children, pets and hazards before and while
backing.
7. USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Protection Against Tip-Overs/Roll-Overs
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tipover/roll-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra CAUTION. If you cannot back
up the slope or if you feel uneasy on the slope, DO NOT mow
it. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments;
these affect the handling and the stability of the machine.
1. DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10
degrees (18% grade).
2. Turn blades OFF when traveling uphill. Use a slow speed
and avoid sudden or sharp turns.
3. DO NOT operate machine back and forth across face of
slopes. Operate up and down. Practice on slopes with
blades off.
4. AVOID starting, stopping or turning on slopes. If machine
stops going uphill or tires lose traction, turn blades OFF
and back slowly straight down the slope.
5. STAY ALERT for holes and other hidden hazards. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Keep away from ditches, wash-
outs, culverts, fences and protruding objects.
6. KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE (at least two mower widths)
away from edge of ditches and other drop offs. The
machine could turn over if an edge caves in.
7. Always begin forward motion slowly and with caution.
8. DO NOT begin forward motion while the machine is roll-
ing backwards. A rearward tip-over may result.
9. Use weights or a weighted load carrier in accordance
with instructions supplied with a grass catcher or other
attachments. DO NOT operate machine on slopes

exceeding 10 degrees (18% grade) when equipped with
grass catcher or other attachments.
10. DO NOT put your foot on the ground to try to stabilize
the machine.
11. DO NOT operate machine on wet grass. Reduced trac-
tion could cause sliding.
12. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not
have to stop or shift on a slope. Tires may lose traction
on slopes even though the brakes are functioning prop-
erly.
13. DO NOT operate machine under any condition where
traction, steering or stability is doubtful.
14. Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. DO NOT shift to neutral (or actuate hydro roll
release) and coast downhill.
15. Machine stability is tested in accordance with the appli-
cable ANSI B71 standard using an operator weight of
200 lbs. To minimize the risk of a tip-over or roll-over,
operators weighing more than 200 lbs. should further limit
the ground speed and the degree of slope to be mowed.
Preparation
1. Read, understand, and follow instructions and warnings
in this manual and on the machine, engine and attach-
ments. Know the controls and the proper use of the
machine before starting.
2. Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the
machine and only after proper instruction.
3. Data indicates that operators age 60 and above, are
involved in a large percentage of mower-related injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability to operate
the mower safely enough to protect themselves and oth-
ers from serious injury.
4. Handle fuel with extra care. Fuels are flammable and
vapors are explosive. Use only an approved fuel con-
tainer. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with engine
running. Add fuel outdoors only with engine stopped and
cool. Clean spilled fuel from machine. DO NOT smoke.
5. Practice operation of machine with BLADES OFF to learn
controls and develop skills.
6. Check the area to be mowed and remove all objects
such as toys, wire, rocks, limbs and other objects that
could cause injury if thrown by blade or interfere with
mowing.
7. Keep people and pets out of mowing area. Immediately
STOP blades, STOP engine, and STOP machine if any-
one enters the area.
8. Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade controls and
other safety devices frequently for proper operation and
location.
9. Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible. Replace if
damaged.
10. Protect yourself when mowing and wear safety glasses,
a dust mask, hearing protection, long pants and substan-
tial footwear.
11. Know how to STOP blades and engine quickly in prepa-
ration for emergencies.
12. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
13. Check grass catcher components frequently for signs of
wear or deterioration and replace as needed to prevent
injury from thrown objects going through weak or worn
spots.
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive.
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
2. Use only an approved fuel container.
3. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine run-
ning. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place the con-
tainers on the ground away from the vehicle before filling.
7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the vehicle or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel equipment using a portable container, rather
than a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
8. DO NOT start gas powered equipment in enclosed vehi-
cles or trailers.
9. Keep the 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.
10. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
11. Never overfill a fuel tank. Replace fuel cap and tighten
securely.
Operation
1. Mount and dismount machine from left side. Keep clear
of discharge opening at all times.
2. Start engine from operator’s seat, if possible. Make sure
blades are OFF and parking brake is set.
3. DO NOT leave machine with engine running. STOP
engine, STOP blades, SET brake, and remove key before
leaving operators position of any reason.
4. DO NOT operate machine unless properly seated with
feet on feet rests or pedal(s).

operation.
12. Operate machine only in daylight or with good artificial
light.
13. Exercise CAUTION when pulling loads. Limit loads to
those you can safely control and attach loads to hitch
plate as specified with attachment instructions.
14. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control. When towing,
travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
15. DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poi-
son.
16. DO NOT discharge material against a wall or obstruc-
tion. Material may ricochet back towards the operator.
17. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and
installation of accessories.
18. Duration of machine operation may need to be limited
due to exposure to noise and vibration.

hitch point.
2. Refer to “Towing Implements” in the Operation section
regarding weight limits for towed equipment and towing
on slopes.
3. DO NOT allow children or others on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control. Use caution while
operating on slopes.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Maintenance
1. DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside where
fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such
as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine
in an enclosure. Store fuel container out of the reach of
children in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.
2. Keep engine and machine free of grass, leaves or excess
grease to reduce fire hazard and engine overheating.
3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved con-
tainer outdoors and away from open flame.
4. Check brakes frequently; adjust, repair or replace as
needed.
5. Keep all bolts, nuts and screws properly tight. Check that
all cotter pins are in proper position.

15
en
Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). 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 damage
the engine components, which will not be covered under war-
ranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel sta-
bilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If
starting or performance problems occur, change fuel provid-
ers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on
gasoline.
The emissions control system for this 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 consump-
tion, and increased emissions. Contact a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer for high altitude adjustment infor-
mation. Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet
(762 meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not recom-
mended.
For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, no high altitude
adjustment is necessary.
How To Add Fuel
