WARNING FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES MAY RESULT

IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Read this manual completely as well as other manuals that came with your mower.

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can back up the slope without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme caution.

Under no circ*mstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.

Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, ditches, water and retaining walls.

DO NOT mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

Keep all shields in place, especially the grass discharge chute.

Before performing any maintenance or service, stop the machine and remove the spark plug wire and ignition key.

If a mechanism becomes clogged, stop the engine before cleaning.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven parts.

Keep others off the mower (only one person at a time).

REMEMBER - YOUR MOWER IS ONLY AS SAFE AS THE OPERATOR!

HAZARD CONTROL AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE AWARENESS, CONCERN, PRUDENCE, AND PROPER TRAINING OF THE PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE OPERATION, TRANSPORT, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT.

R Section 4

4.6 GROUND TRAVEL AND STEERING

- IMPORTANT -

If you are not familiar with the operation of a machine with lever steering and/or hydrostatic transmissions, the steering and ground speed operations should be learned and practiced in an open area, away from buildings, fences, or obstructions.

Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow forward travel.

Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain a smooth operating action.

Practice operating the mower until you are comfortable with the controls before proceeding to mow.

FORWARD TRAVEL

2

3 3

4 4

Figure 4-4. Travel Controls

1. Release parking brake.

2. Move control handles out of neutral.

3. Forward travel.

4. Reverse travel.

To travel forward with the mower, slowly push the steering control levers forward an equal distance. The further the steering control levers are pushed forward the greater the forward speed will be. To increase the speed, push the steering control levers further forward and to decrease the speed, pull the steering control levers back.

To stop the forward travel, pull the steering control levers back to the neutral position.

To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the right steering control lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn right.

- NOTE -

Smooth operation of the steering levers will produce smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

- IMPORTANT -

Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower will hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. (See Figure 4-1 and Section 4-1 item 11 for cutter deck raising description.)

REVERSE TRAVEL

CAUTION Disengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

17

RSection 4

CAUTION Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

To travel in reverse, pull levers inward out of the neutral lock position and pull both handles back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

- NOTE -

The mower may not travel straight in reverse. Slight adjustments may need to be made using the steering controls.

To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn right.

To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control levers to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be parked, place the handles in the neutral lock position and engage the parking brake.

4.7 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER BLADES)

1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens the electric clutch life use only moderate engine speed when engaging the deck drive.

2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow switch, located on the instrument panel, to the engage position. See Figure 4-4.

PULL KNOB UP TO ENGAGE

Figure 4-5. Cutter Engage Switch

- NOTE -

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. This is normal.

3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the disengage position.

4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.

4.8 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 can not back up a slope or feel uneasy, do not mow it.

18

R Section 4

WARNING DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can back up the slope without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme caution. Under no circ*mstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. See Figure 2-1, Page 7 to help determine approximate slope of area to be mowed. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.

1. This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet.

2. DO NOT mow wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

3. Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, ditches, water and retaining walls.

4. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

5. Mow up and down slopes, not across.

6. Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop while on a slope.

7. Some areas may need to be mowed with a walk- behind mower or string trimmer.

8. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires lose traction, disengage blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

9. Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Sudden starts may cause the machine to tip backwards.

10. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.

11. DO NOT make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

12. Loss of traction may occur when traveling down hill. Weight transfers to the front of the machine and may cause the drive wheels to slip causing loss of braking or steering.

13. Keep tires properly inflated.

14. Use caution when operating the mower on an incline with the optional grass catcher or other attachments installed. They can affect the stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.

15. DO NOT stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

WARNING Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.

DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.

Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns, starts or stops on a slope.

NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate the machine.

Be cautious when loading and unloading onto trailers or trucks.

Use only a full width ramp.

Ramp angle should be no more than 15 degrees. See Figure 2-1 to help determine approximate slope.

Back up the ramp and drive down forward.

4.9 PARKING THE MOWER

1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface only. Do not park the machine on an incline.

2. Place the steering control levers in the neutral position.

3. Disengage the cutter blades.

4. Slow the engine to idle speed.

5. Engage the parking brake.

6. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

19

RSection 4

4.10 AFTER OPERATION

1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical components.

- IMPORTANT -

Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water will damage the engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine if it is hot.

2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.

3. Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.

DANGER To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.

4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper octane requirements.

5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.

4.11 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL

DANGER ROTATING BLADES

NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!

Shut off the engine and remove the key and only then use a stick or similar object to remove material if clogging has occurred.

1. If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then resume normal mowing.

4.12 MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE STOPPED

To free-wheel or move the mower around without the engine running, place the dump valve levers in the FREE- WHEEL position. See Figure 4-2, page 13. Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. When the machine is in the desired position, engage the parking brake and place the dump valve levers in the DRIVE position. The dump valve levers must be returned to the DRIVE position to drive the mower.

4.13 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING

1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and reduced mowing power.

WARNING DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute, Mulching Kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly installed.

2. The discharge chute must not be removed and must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by thrown objects.

3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass for best appearance). Mow frequently.

4. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

5. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice. Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first pass and then make a second pass to the desired height.

6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.

20

R Section 4

7. Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting. Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at full speed.

8. Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the grass.

4.14 ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/2 inches to 4-1/2 inches at 1/4-inch intervals. To adjust the cutting height:

WARNING DO NOT adjust the cutting height with the mower blades rotating. Disengage the power to the cutter blades and then adjust cutting height.

1. Disengage the power to the cutter blades.

2. Push the cutting height adjustment foot pedal all the way forward using your right foot. See Figure 4-5.

1

2

Figure 4-6. Adjusting Cutting Height

3. Lift the pin and insert into the cutting height index at the desired cutting height. See Figure 4-5. Slowly release the foot pedal. A deck height decal is located next to the cutting height index as an aid in adjusting the deck to the desired height.

4.15 TOWING (OPTIONAL HITCH ACCESSORY)(NOT AVAILABLE FOR SZL36)

1. NEVER allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

6.2 TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition before making any adjustments. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before beginning work.

CAUTION The engine and drive unit can get hot during operation causing burn injuries. Allow engine and drive components to cool before making any adjustments.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that the caster wheels turn plus pivot freely and that the tire pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to the side with the lower pressure.

1. If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an indication that the left wheel is turning faster than the right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A. Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Turn the tracking adjustment bolt for the LH pump inward (clockwise). This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

2. If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication that the right wheel is turning faster than the left wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A. Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Turn the tracking adjustment bolt for the RH pump inward (clockwise). This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT BOLT

Figure 6-3. Tracking Adjustment Bolt

- NOTE -

If making the adjustment as outlined do not correct the tracking or neutral needs to be adjusted, contact your local Authorized Scag Power Equipment Dealer.

6.3 THROTTLE CONTROL AND CHOKE ADJUSTMENTS

These adjustments must be performed by your Authorized Scag Power Equipment Dealer to ensure proper and efficient running of the engine. Should either need adjustment, contact your authorized Scag service center.

6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING Before removing any guards, shut the engine off and remove the ignition key.

All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning, however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation, the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

26

R Section 6

WARNING If the pump drive belt fails, steering control will be lost which could result in serious injury or death. Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every 400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.

6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.

6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly inflated. If any of these procedures do not achieve proper cutter deck level, pitch or height, please contact your authorized Scag dealer.

CUTTER DECK LEVEL

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side of the machine, check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

1. If the cutter deck is lower on one side, locate the elastic stop nuts on the front and rear of the lower side of the cutter deck. See Figure 6-4.

ADJUSTMENT NUT

ADJUSTMENT NUT

Figure 6-4. Cutter Deck Level Adjustment

2. Turn the elastic stop nuts on the front and rear deck level links clockwise until the cutter deck is level between both sides. See Figure 6-4

3. Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

CUTTER DECK PITCH

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind the cutter deck hanging link. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of the cutter deck hanging link. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

1. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the front of the cutter deck on both sides. See Figure 6-5 and 6-6.

27

RSection 6

ADJUSTMENT NUT

Figure 6-5. Cutter Deck Pitch Adjustment

2. Turn the adjustment bolts on both sides either clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the front of the cutter deck until the measurements are equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.

ADJUSTMENT NUT

Figure 6-6. Cutter Deck Pitch Adjustment

- NOTE -

To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four (4) cutter deck hanging links must have tension on them. If all four links do not have tension on them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above. All measurements should be taken from the top edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven bottom edge.

CUTTER DECK HEIGHT

The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

1. Push on the cutter deck foot pedal, place the cutter deck in the 3" cutting position and lower the cutter deck.

2. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not 3", an adjustment can be made using the deck hangers.

WARNING BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. Charge the battery in a well ventilated space so gases produced while charging can dissipate.

Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are satisfactory if excessive gassing or spewing of electrolyte does not occur or the battery does not feel excessively hot (over 125F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature exceeds 125F, the charging rate must be reduced or temporarily stopped to permit cooling.

B. JUMP STARTING

1. The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a negative ground system.

2. When connecting the jumper cables, connect the positive cable to the positive battery post, then connect the negative cable to the negative battery post.

7.8 DRIVE BELTS

All drive belts are spring-loaded and self-tensioning, however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation, the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

- NOTE -

If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.

WARNING If the pump drive belt fails, steering control will be lost which could result in serious injury or death. Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every 400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.

7.9 CUTTER BLADES

A. BLADE INSPECTION

1. Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.

2. Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

WARNING Mower blades are sharp. Always wrap blades, wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

3. Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.

4. Check the cutter blades for wear. If any part of the cutter blade is worn to 1/2 its original thickness, replace the cutter blade.

WARNING Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always replace it with a new blade to assure safety.

5. If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See "Blade Replacement."

38

R Section 7

- NOTE -

Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull blades not only yields a poor mowing job, but slows the cutting speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the engine and the blade drive by pulling hard.

B. BLADE SHARPENING

- NOTE -

If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using a wheel grinder may burn the blade.

- NOTE -

DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade. See Figure 7-12.

1. Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the original. See Figure 7-12. Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

LIMITED WARRANTY - SZL Any part of the Scag mower manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judgment of Scag, to be defective in materials or workmanship, will be repaired or replaced by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer without charge for parts and labor during the periods specified below. This warranty is limited to the original purchaser provided the product was purchased from an Authorized Scag Power Equipment Dealer and is not transferable. Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claims. All warranty work must be performed by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer.

This non-commercial warranty is limited to the following specified periods from the date of the original retail purchase for defects in materials or workmanship:

Wear items including drive belts, blades, hydraulic hoses and tires are warranted for ninety (90) days. Batteries are covered for ninety (90) days.

Cutter decks are warranted against cracking for a period of five (5) years / 750 hours (whichever comes first). First and second year of the warranty covers parts and labor and years three (3) to five (5) covers parts or labor to repair for non-commercial use. The repair or replacement of the cutter deck will be at the option of Scag Power Equipment. We reserve the right to request components for evaluation. This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has been operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as specified in the Operators Manual. Engines and electric starters are covered by the engine manufacturers warranty period. Major drive system components are warranted for five (5) year / 750 hour (whichever comes first) (Parts and labor) for non- commercial use by Scag Power Equipment (warranty excludes fittings, hoses, drive belts). The repair or replacement of the hydraulic axles will be at the option of Scag Power Equipment.

First and second year of the warranty covers parts and labor and years three (3) to five (5) covers parts only for non-commercial use. Any Scag Liberty Z (SZL) used for Commercial or Rental purposes is not covered under this warranty.

The Scag mower, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer within the warranty period. The expense of delivering the mower to the dealer for warranty work and the expense of returning it to the owner after repair will be paid for by the owner. Scags responsibility is limited to making the required repairs and no claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any Scag mower. Non-Commercial use is defined as a single property owner, where the single property is the residence of the owner of the mower. If the mower is cutting more than the owners single property, it is deemed commercial use and the warranty does not apply. Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to deny and / or void the non- commercial warranty if it believes it to be in commercial use.

This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has been operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as specified in the Operators Manual. The warranty does not apply to any damage to the mower that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that have not been assembled or installed as specified in the Operators Manual. The warranty does not cover any mower that has been altered or modified, changing performance or durability. In addition, the warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable judgment of Scag, are either incompatible with the Scag mower or adversely affect its operation, performance or durability.

Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without assuming any obligation to modify any mower previously manufactured. All other implied warranties are limited in duration to five (5) years / 750 hours for non-commercial use. Accordingly, any such implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration of the five (5) year / 750 hour warranty period. Scags obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them any other obligation. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Scag assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages including, but not limited to, expense for gasoline, expense of delivering the mower to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the owner, mechanics travel time, telephone or other communication charges, rental of a like product during the time warranty repairs are being performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives
