2. Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage before starting the engine.

3. DO NOT add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes before adding fuel.

4. Keep flammable objects (cigarettes, matches, etc.), open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and fuel container.
5. Equipment must comply with the latest requirements per SAE J137 and/or ANSI/ASAE S279 when driven on public roads.

-NOTE-

If the mower is driven on public roads, it must comply with state and local ordinances as well as SAE J137 and/or ANSI / ASAE S279 requirements. Contact your local authorities for regulations and equipment requirements.

1. DO NOT operate without the side discharge chute installed and in the down position or with an optional grass catcher or mulch plate completely installed.
2. Check the blade mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
3. Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before starting the machine.

2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS

1. Know the function of all controls and how to stop quickly.
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.

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. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.

2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS (CONT'D)

1. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.
2. When using any attachment, never direct the discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.
3. 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.
4. 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.

1. Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any dropoff. Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.), underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden hazards.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
4. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing roads, walks or gravel drives.
5. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

6. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.

7. 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.

8. Disengage power to the attachments when transporting or when not in use.
9. 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.

CAUTION:

DO NOT touch the engine or the muffler while the engine is running or immediately after stopping. These areas may be hot enough to cause a burn.

WARNING:

DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could cause death.

1. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and moving parts. Contact can injure.
2. Use care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.
3. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

2.5 ROLL OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM

WARNING:

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.

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 this 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 of the buckle is damaged or cracked. See Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Seat Belt Inspection

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.

ALWAYS travel up or down the slope whenever possible. Never across the 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.

Figure 2-2. STC With Roll Over Protection System.

2. Seat Belt (Figure 4-1). Used to secure the operator. Seat belt must be worn at all times during operation.

4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system that prevents the engine from starting unless the deck drive is disengaged, the parking brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in the neutral position and the operator is in the seat. The interlock system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves the seat with the steering control levers not in the neutral position and/or the cutter blades engaged and/or the parking brake not engaged.

Never operate the mower with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not disengage or bypass any switch; injury to yourself and others or property damage could result.

4.3 INITIAL RUN-IN PROCEDURES (First Day of Use or Approximately 10 Hours)

1. Check all belts for proper alignment and wear at 2, 4 and 8 hours.
2. Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 8 hours of operation. (See Section 7.4.)
3. Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir. (See Section 7.3)
4. Check for loose hardware. Tighten as needed.
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 by the left fuel tank, is completely open. (See Section 7.5)
2. Sit in the operator's seat, fasten seat belt and place the steering control levers in the neutral position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. If the engine is cold, choke the engine as needed.

5. Move the engine throttle control to about half engine speed.

6. 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.

7. 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. Practice until you are comfortable with the handling of the machine before attempting to mow. Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

-IMPORTANT-

Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow forward travel. Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain a smooth operating action.

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 may hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. (see section 4.1, item 12 for cutter deck raising instructions)

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 must 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, (Figure 4-3) to the engage position.

-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.

PULL UP TO ENGAGE
PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE
STT99CES

Figure 4-3 Cutter Engage Switch

1. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the disengage position.
2. 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.

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. 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 7 of this manual for further details.
2. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires loose traction, disengage blades and proceed slowly off the slope.
3. Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Sudden starts may cause the machine to tip backwards.
4. 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.
5. Keep tires properly inflated.

4.8 PARKING THE MOWER

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

park the machine on an incline.

1. Place the steering control levers in the neutral position.
2. Disengage the cutter blades.
3. Slow the engine to idle speed.
4. Engage the parking brake.
5. 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.

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

1. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tanks with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper octane requirements.
2. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.

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 (Figure 4-2, page 13). Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. The dump valve levers must be returned to the DRIVE position and torqued to 7-10 ft/lbs 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 require extra power.
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.

WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT DISCHARGE CHUTE, MULCHING KIT, OR ENTIRE GRASS CATCHER INSTALLED

1. 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.

2. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

3. 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.
4. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.
5. 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.
6. 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 5-1/2 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. (Figure 4-5, page 18)
3. Insert the lanyard pin into the cutting height index at the desired cutting height. Push forward on the deck lift foot lever, hold in place and lift up on the deck release lever, (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. (Figure 4-5)

Figure 4-4 Deck Release Lever

Figure 4-5 Adjusting Cutting Height

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. 250lbs. 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.

ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

DO NOT operate the mower if the parking brake is not operable. Possible severe injury could result.

The parking brake linkage should be adjusted whenever the parking brake lever is placed in the “ENGAGE” position and the parking brake will not prevent the mower from moving. If the following procedures do not allow you to engage the parking brake properly, contact your Scag dealer for further brake adjustments.

1. Position a floor jack under the rear of the machine. Raise the machine and support it to prevent it from falling. Block the caster wheels to prevent the machine from moving. Remove the drive wheels.
2. With the brake in the engaged position, check the distance between the lower nut on the brake actuator rod and the brake actuator lever on the LH side of the machine. The distance should be 1/8" (See Figure 6-2).
3. If the distance is not at the specified measurement, loosen the jam nut at the clevis on the top of the brake actuator rod (See Figure 6-2).
4. Turn the bolt at the bottom of the brake actuator lever until the 1/8" measurement is achieved and tighten the jam nut at the clevis on the brake actuator rod. (See Figure 6-2). If the 1/8" measurement can not be achieved by adjusting the brake actuator rod, adjust the brake control rod. Adjust by loosening the jam nuts at both ends of the brake control rod and turning the rod until the proper distance is achieved. (See Figure 6-1)
5. Repeat steps 2-4 on the RH side of the machine.
6. Replace the drive wheels and test the brake.

-NOTE-

If this procedure does not achieve proper brake adjustment, please contact your authorized Scag dealer.

Figure 6-1. Brake Adjustment

Figure 6-2. Brake Rod Adjustment

6.2 TRAVEL ADJUSTMENTS

Neutral or tracking adjustments will need to be made if:

A. The steering control levers are in the neutral position and the machine creeps forward or backward. (See Neutral Adjustment).
B. The steering control levers are in the full forward position and the mower pulls to one side or the other when traveling in a forward direction. (Tracking Adjustment, See Page 24).

Neutral Adjustment

1. Be sure the dump valve levers are in the run position and the steering control levers are in the neutral lock position.

2. With an operator in the seat, start the engine and disengage the parking brake.

3. Run the engine at full operating speed and check if the machine creeps forward or backwards.

4. Adjust the RH wheel by loosening the jam nuts on the steering control rod and turning the rod until the drive wheel turns in the forward direction. Turn the rod back until the drive wheel stops moving. Turn the rod back an additional 1/2 turn. (See Figure 6-3).

5. Tighten the jam nuts and repeat for the LH wheel.

6. Actuate the steering control levers forward and reverse several times and return them to the neutral position.

7. Check that the drive wheels remained in neutral and readjust if necessary.

8. Check that the steering control levers hit the stop before the pumps reach full stroke. Adjust as needed.

Figure 6-3. Steering Control Rods Adjustment

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 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. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the LH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to shorten the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. (See Figure 6-3).

-NOTE-

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 1A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 23.

1. 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. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the RH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to shorten the rod and tighten the lock nuts. 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 in step 2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 23.

6.3 THROTTLE CONTROL AND CHOKE ADJUSTMENTS

These adjustments must be performed by your Scag 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 and cutter deck belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning. The belts should be checked periodically for proper alignment and wear.

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.

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. On the front LH side of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck adjusting bolt. (See Figure 6-4)

Figure 6-4. Cutter Deck Adjustment

1. Loosen the elastic stop nut and move the bolt up or down in the slot to adjust the cutter deck until the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on the RH side of the machine.
2. Tighten the elastic stop nut 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 lock nuts on both adjusting rods. (See Figure 6-4)
2. Using an adjustable jaw pliers, turn the adjusting rods on the non-threaded portion of the rod until the deck is equal front to back on both the RH and the LH side of the cutter deck. Tighten both lock nuts.

-NOTE-

To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four 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 Advantage decks have 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 transport position. Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height control rod. (See Figure 6-5)

Figure 6-5. Cutter Deck Height Adjustment

1. Turn the control rod (See Figure 6-6) until there is a 1/4" space between the rear deck stop and the top of the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-6). Tighten the jam nuts on the control rod.

Figure 6-6. Cutter Deck Stop

1. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height index. Release the deck from the transport positon and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height position.
2. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3", an adjustment can be made using the deck height control rod. (See Figure 6-5)

-NOTE-

If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the cutter deck can easily be locked into the transport position.

Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment

The Custom-Cut Baffle is designed to deliver optimum airflow and superior cutting performance in any type of grass. The Custom-Cut Baffle can be raised or lowered to precisely tailor the deck's performance for the type of grass being cut. The baffle can be set in three (3) different positions for optimum performance.

A. 3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.8). The Advantage cutter deck will deliver the best quality-of-cut in very tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.
B. 3-1/2" Position (factory setting) - baffle is installed using the middle set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.9). For general purpose cutting, place the Custom-Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2" position. This gives the best mix of cutting performance in all types of grass.
C. 4" Position - baffle is installed using the bottom set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.10). Placing the baffle in the 4" setting will enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup) and reduce cutter deck "blowout".

To adjust the Custom-Cut Baffle height:

1. Place the cutter deck in the transport position.
2. Remove the hardware securing the Custom-Cut Baffle to the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.7).

-NOTE-

Hardware location used in the illustrations are for reference only. Location of hardware may vary depending on cutter deck size.

Figure 6-7. Custom-Cut Baffle

1. Move the Custom-Cut Baffle to desired position. (See Figures 6.9 through 6.11 for position).

2. Reinstall the mounting hardware as shown. (See Figures 6.10 though 6.11). Torque hardware to 39 ft/lbs.

7.3 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. Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil must be at least 3" inches from top of the filler neck. If the level cannot be determined visually, use a clean tape measure to check the level. If the fluid is low, add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage).
3. Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.

Figure 7-2 Hydraulic Oil Reservoir

B. Changing Hydraulic Oil

The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500 hours or annually, 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 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. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil filter. Tilt the seat forward. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir and the drain plug from the bottom of the drain tee fitting on the front side of the filter base. (See Figure 7-3). Allow the fluid to drain into the container and properly discard it.

Figure 7-3 Hydraulic Oil Filter and Drain Plug

1. Re-install the drain plug into the tee fitting and be sure it is tight.

-NOTE-

Before refilling the hydraulic oil reservoir the hydraulic oil filter should be changed as outlined in section C -Changing Hydraulic Oil Filter Element- on the next page.

1. Fill the reservoir to 3-1/4" inches from the top of the filler neck with SAE 20W50 motor oil.
2. Replace the reservoir fill cap. Start the engine and drive forward and backward for two minutes. Check the oil level in the reservoir. If necessary, add oil to the reservoir.

C. Changing Hydraulic Oil Filter Element

The hydraulic oil filter should be changed after every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever occurs first.

1. Remove the oil filter element (Figure 7-3, Page 31) and properly discard it. Fill the new filter with clean SAE 20W50 engine oil and install the filter. Hand tighten only.
2. Run the engine at idle speed with the speed control lever in neutral for five minutes.
3. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank. It must be 3-1/4" inches from the top of the filler neck. If necessary, add SAE 20W50 motor oil.

7.4 ENGINE OIL

A. Checking Engine Crankcase Oil Level

The engine oil level should be checked after every 8 hours of operation or daily as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual furnished with this mower.

B. Changing Engine Crankcase Oil

After the first 5 hours of operation, change the engine crankcase oil and replace the oil filter. Thereafter, change the engine crankcase oil after every 100 hours of operation or bi-weekly, whichever occurs first. Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual furnished with this mower for instructions.

Figure 7-5 Kohler & Kawasaki Engine Oil Fill/Dipstick, Filter and Drain Plug Locations

C. Changing Engine Oil Filter

After the first 5 hours of operation, replace the engine oil filter. Thereafter, replace the oil filter after every 200 hours of operation or every month, whichever occurs first. Refer to Engine Operator's Manual for instructions.

-NOTE-

The engine oil filter for the Honda engine is supplied by Scag Power Equipment. Use only the part number listed in the illustrated parts list of this manual when replacing.

7.5 ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM

DANGER:

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

A. Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank at the beginning of each operating day to within 1 inch below the filler neck. Do not overfill. Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.

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 gasoline container.

3. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before fueling.

4. Never fuel the machine indoors or in an enclosed trailer.
5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.
6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
7. Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and fuel on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the machine with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
8. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of 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 and wash affected skin.
10. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

Figure 7-6 Engine Fuel Filter Location

7.6 ENGINE AIR CLEANER

A. Cleaning and/or Replacing Air Cleaner Element

For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates the air cleaner service periods. Inspect and clean the air cleaner element after every 100 hours of operation or bi-weekly, whichever occurs first and replace the element if required.

-NOTE-

In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary to check the element once or twice daily to prevent engine damage.

1. Release the two latches securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner assembly and remove the cover. Set aside.
   2 Remove the air cleaner and inspect.
2. Clean or replace the air cleaner and foam pre-cleaner as recommended by the engine manufacturer.

7.7 BATTERY

WARNING:

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

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:

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 charger's manual for specific instructions.

Under normal conditions the engine's 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 125° F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature exceeds 125° F, 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 Dealer for belt adjustment.

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 positon to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

WARNING:

Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

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

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.

1. 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.

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.

1. Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the original (See Figure 7-9). Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

Figure 7-9 Blade Sharpening

1. Check the balance of the blade. If the blades are out of balance, vibration and premature wear can occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to balance your own blades.

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 positon 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 nut from the blade attaching bolt. Remove the cutter blade, bolt and spacer from the spindle shaft. (Figure 7-10).

-NOTE-

The front of the machine will have to be raised slightly to remove the blade bolt from the cutter spindle.

1. To install the new cutter blade, put the flat washer onto the blade bolt and slide the bolt into the hole in the cutter blade.

Figure 7-10 Blade Replacement

-NOTE-

Be sure that the blade is installed with the lift wing toward the top of the cutter deck.

1. Install the spacer onto the blade bolt and insert the bolt into the cutter spindle shaft.
2. Install the hex nut to the blade bolt at the top of the cutter spindle. Secure the blades from rotating and torque to 75 ft-lbs. (See Figure 7-10)

7.10 TIRES

Check the tire pressures after every 8 hours of operation or daily.

Caster Wheels 25 PSI

Drive Wheels 12 PSI

7.11 BODY, DECK, AND UPHOLSTERY

CAUTION:

Do not wash any portion of the equipment while it is hot. Do not wash the engine; use compressed air.

1. After each use, wash the mower and cutter deck. Use cold water and automotive cleaners. Do not use pressure cleaners.
2. Do not spray electrical components.
3. Use a mild soap solution or a vinyl/rubber cleaner to clean the seat.
4. Repair damaged metal surfaces using Scag touch-up paint (P/N 48521) available from your authorized Scag dealer. Wax the mower with an automotive paint wax for maximum paint protection.
