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 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.

2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Know the function of all controls and how to stop quickly.
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 2-2, Page 7 to determine approximate slope of area to be mowed. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.
2. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be especially cautious when changing directions on slopes.
3. Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, ditches and retaining walls.
4. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. Use caution when operating the mower on an incline with the optional grass catcher installed.
5. Immediately apply the parking brake if you lose steering control while operating. Inspect the machine and correct the problem before continuing to operate.
6. When using any attachment, never direct the discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.
7. Before attempting to start the engine, with the operator in the seat, disengage power to the cutter deck, place the steering control levers in the neutral position and engage the parking brake.
8. If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to stop before removing the obstruction.
WARNING DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to remove clogged material after the engine has stopped running and the blades have stopped turning.
9. Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any drop-offs. Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.) and underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden hazards.
10. Disengage power to cutter deck before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower. If you must mow in reverse, maintain a constant lookout to the rear of the machine and mow slowly.
11. DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
12. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing roads, walks or gravel drives.
13. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
14. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.
15. Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended, such as disengaging the mower, lowering the attachments, setting the parking brake, stopping the engine, and removing the key.
16. Disengage power to the attachments when transporting or when not in use.
17. The machine and attachments should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object, and damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the machine.

R Section 2
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in injury or death.
The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat belt system regularly.
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be replaced immediately.
WARNING Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.
1. Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.
2. Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt, the physical strength of this webbing may have deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat belt system.
3. Check the buckle and latch for proper operation and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn, deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked. See Figure 2-1.
INSPECT WEBBING
INSPECT BUCKLE & LATCH
Figure 2-1. Seat Belt Inspection
DANGER DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and contain carbon monoxide which can cause brain injury and death.
18. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and moving parts. Contact can injure.
19. Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the necessary lighting and markings as required by laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.
20. 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. Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
21. When transporting the mower, make sure the park brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in the neutral position, the engine is off with the key removed, and the wheels have been blocked.
22. Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be directed down and outward from machine.
23. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
24. NEVER leave the machine running unattended.
2.5 ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM
WARNING The seat belt must be securely fastened during operation. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or loss of life.
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. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.
Page 11

RSection 2
WARNING Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can not back up the slope without the wheels slipping, do not operate the machine on this slope. Under no circ*mstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. See Figure 2-2 to determine approximate slope.
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 2-2 to help determine approximate slope.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.

R Section 4
5. Check interlock system for proper operation. (See Section 4.2.)
6. Check tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary. (See Section 7.10.)
4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION DO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting fluids in the air intake system may be potentially explosive or cause a runaway engine condition that could result in engine damage and/or personal injury.
1. Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located behind the operator's seat, is completely open.
2. Sit in the operators seat, fasten seat belt and place the steering control levers in the neutral position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Place the PTO switch in the disengaged position.
5. If the engine is cold, choke the engine as needed.
6. Move the engine throttle control to about half engine speed.
7. Turn the ignition key to the START position and release the key as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key in the START position for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow at least 60 seconds between each cranking attempt to prevent overheating of the starter motor. Prolonged cranking can damage the starter motor and shorten battery life.
8. Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.
4.5 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
To travel forward with the mower, disengage the parking brake, pull levers inward out of the neutral lock position and 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 item 12 for cutter deck raising description.)
Page 19
15
RSection 4
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.
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.
4.6 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 4-3.
390S0138
PULL UP TO ENGAGE
PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE
Figure 4-3. 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.
Page 20

R Section 4
4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION
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 2-2, 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. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control. The Roll-Over Protection System is standard equipment for this machine. See Section 2.5, page 6 of this manual for further details.
2. Stay two cut widths away from slopes, drop offs, ditches and retaining walls.
3. Some areas may need to be mowed with a walk- behind mower or string trimmer.
4. 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.
5. Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Sudden starts may cause the machine to tip backwards.
6. 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.
7. Keep tires properly inflated.
8. Use caution when operating the mower on an incline with the optional grass catcher installed.
4.8 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.
4.9 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.

RSection 4
4.10 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.
4.11 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.
4.12 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.
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.
4.13 ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1 inch 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 until it locks in place. See Figure 4-4.

Slowly release the foot pedal. A deck height decal is located on the cutting height index as an aid in adjusting the deck to the desired height. See Figure 4-4.
4.14 TOWING (OPTIONAL HITCH ACCESSORY)
1. NEVER allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
2. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.
3. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for weight limit for towed equipment. 250/lbs. maximum towing weight.
4. NEVER TOW 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. Zero-turning with a trailer attached could cause damage to the trailer or mower.

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.
- NOTE -
If after making the adjustment as outlined do not correct the tracking or neutral, 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.
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.

6.6 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.
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, loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the front and rear of the lower side. See Figure 6-4.
2007 SFZ DLA
LOOSEN HERE
ADJUST HERE
Figure 6-4. Cutter Deck Level Adjustment
2. Turn the adjustment bolts 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 chains. 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 chains. 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.

- NOTE -
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four (4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on them. If all four chains 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. Place the cutter deck in the 3" cutting position. Push on the cutter deck foot pedal and pull up on the cutter deck release lever to 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 level links.

This adjustment should be done every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. In cases where the machine is heavily used, airgap settings should be checked more often.
If the air gap is too narrow, the clutch armature may drag when disengaged, resulting in premature failure.
If the air gap is too wide, the clutch may be slow to engage as the magnet must pull the armature in from a greater distance.

7.2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A. CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first 10 hours of operation. Thereafter, check the oil after every 200 hours of machine operation or monthly, whichever occurs first.
- IMPORTANT -
If the oil level is consistently low, check for leaks and correct immediately.
1. Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir.
2. When the machine is "cold" (before operation), visually check the level of the hydraulic system oil. Hydraulic system oil level should be in the middle of the indicator window located on the left side of the machine. See Figure 7-1. DO NOT overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage).
3. Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
Figure 7-1. Hydraulic System Oil Level
B. CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic system oil should be changed after the first 120 hours of machine operation and every 400 hours or annually thereafter, whichever occurs first. The oil should also be changed if the color of the fluid has become black or milky. A black color and/or a rancid odor usually indicates possible overheating of the oil, and a milky color usually indicates water in the hydraulic oil.
- IMPORTANT -
The hydraulic system oil should be changed if you notice the presence of water or a rancid odor to the hydraulic oil.
1. Park the mower on a level surface and stop the engine.
2. Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter guard from both axles. See Figure 7-2. Clean any loose debris around the perimeter of the filter.
REMOVE SCREWS AND OIL FILTER GAURD

7.6 BATTERY
WARNING Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and explosive gases. To avoid personal injury when checking, testing or charging batteries, DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries. Keep arcs, sparks and flames away from batteries. Provide proper ventilation and wear safety glasses.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING Electric storage battery fluid contains sulfuric acid which is POISON and can cause SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS. Avoid contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use proper protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT tip any battery beyond 45 angle in any direction. If fluid contact does occur, follow first aid suggestions below.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FIRST AID
External Contact Flush with water.
Eyes Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Internal Drink large quantities of water. Follow with Milk Of Magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately. In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that would induce vomiting.
A. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Refer to the battery chargers manual for specific instructions.
Under normal conditions the engines alternator will have no problem keeping a charge on the battery. If the battery has been completely discharged for a long period of time, the alternator may not be able to recharge the battery, and a battery charger will be required.
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and cause injury. Let the battery warm before attaching a charger.
Whenever possible, remove the battery from the mower before charging and make sure the electrolyte covers the plates in all cells.
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.

R Section 7
7.7 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.
7.8 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 Always 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."
- 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 7-8.
1. Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the original. See Figure 7-8. Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.
SGB033

RSection 7
C. BLADE REPLACEMENT
WARNING Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.
1. Remove the ignition key before replacing 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.
3. Secure the cutter blades to prevent them from rotating, (use the optional Blade Buddy tool P/N 9212, to assist in securing the cutter blades), remove the blade attaching bolt. Remove the cutter blade, bolt, lockwasher and flatwasher from the spindle shaft. See Figure 7-9.
CAUTION Inspect the cutter blade spacer(s) and washer for wear and/or cupping. Replace the worn parts. Worn spacer(s) and/or washer will not allow proper tightening of the cutter blade and can lead to cutter blade failure, personal injury or property damage.
4. To install the new cutter blade, put the lockwaher and flatwasher onto the blade bolt and slide the bolt into the hole in the cutter blade.

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 non-commercial 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 and Assembly 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.

Accordingly, any such implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration of the appropriate one year, three year / 500 hour or ninety day 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.
