Slope Identification Guide

How to measure the slope of a lawn surface with a

smartphone or an angle finder tool:

WARNING

Do not operate on slopes greater than10degrees.

1. Use a straight edge at least two (2) feet long (A,

Figure1). A 2x4 or a straight piece of metal works well.

2. Angle finder tools.

a. Use your smartphone:Many smartphones (B,

Figure1) have an inclinometer (angle finder) located

under the compass application (app). Or, search an

app store for an Inclinometer app.

b. Use angle finder tools:Angle finder tools (C and

D, Figure1) are available at local hardware stores

or online (also called inclinometer, protractor, angle

meter, or angle gauge). Dial type (C) or digital type

(D) work, others may not.Read and obey the user

instructions supplied with the angle finder tool.

3. Put the two (2) feet long straight edge along the steepest

part of the lawn slope. Put the board up and down the

slope.

4. Lay the smartphone or angle finder tool on the straight

edge and read the angle in degrees. This is the slope of

your lawn.

Note:A paper gauge slope identification guide is included

in your product literature packet and is also available to

download from the manufacturer's website.

Operation

Read theOperator Safetysection before you operate this

machine. Make sure that you know the controls and how to

stop the unit.

Operating Area

1. Know the area where you plan to operate the mower.

2. Make sure that the area is free of unwanted material that

could be picked up by the blades and thrown.

DANGER

This machine is capable of throwing objects that could

injure bystanders or cause damage to buildings.

• Do not operate the machine without the entire grass

catcher, discharge chute, or other safety devices in

place and functioning properly. Check frequently for

signs of wear or deterioration and replace as needed.

• Clear the operating area of any objects which could

be thrown by or interfere with the operation of the

machine.

3. Move the rider mower outside, before you start the

engine.

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,

poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,

fainting, or death.

4. Note all slopes and drop-offs.

DANGER

Operating on slopes, or near water, or drop-offs can result

in loss of control and roll-over.

• Mow up and down slopes not across.

• Reduce speed and be careful on slopes.

• Do not operate on slopes over 10 degrees, which is a

3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length.

• Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of

clearance around water, retaining walls, or drop-offs.

• Avoid mowing wet grass.

• Do not operate machine under any condition where

traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could

slide even if the wheels are stopped.

• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes.

• Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Make turns slowly and gradually.

• Be careful while operating machine with a grass catcher

or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability of

the machine.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

SeeTowed Equipment.

5. Make sure that the operating area is clear of bystanders,

especially children.

Not for

Reproduction

DANGER

This rider mower is capable of amputating hands and feet.

• Stop the mower when children or others are near.

• Keep children out of the operating area and under the

watchful care of a responsible adult.

• Do not carry passengers, especially children, even

with the blade(s) shut off. Children can fall off and be

seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine

operation. Children who have been given rides in

the past can suddenly appear in the mowing area for

another ride and be run over or backed over by the

machine.

• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that obscure vision.

Safety Interlock System Tests

This machine is equipped with a Safety Interlock System.

Do not attempt to bypass or tamper with the switches

anddevices.

WARNING

If the machine does not pass a safety test, do not operate

the machine. See an Authorized Dealer.

Test 1 — Engine will NOT crank if:

• Power Take Off (PTO) switch is ON, OR

• Brake pedal is NOT fully pushed down (parking brake

OFF)

Test 2 — Engine will crank and start if:

• PTO switch is OFF, AND

• Brake pedal is fully pushed down (parking brake ON).

Test 3 — Engine will SHUT OFF if:

• Operator rises off seat with PTO engaged, OR

• Operator rises off seat with brake pedal NOT fully pushed

down (parking brake OFF).

Test 4 — Mower Blade Stopping TimeCheck

The mower blades and mower drive belt willcome to a

complete stop in five seconds after the PTO switch is OFF.

If the mower drive belt does not stop in five seconds, see an

Authorized Service Dealer.

Test 5 — Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) Check

• The engine will STOP when reverse travel is attempted

with the PTO switched ON and the Reverse Mowing

Option (RMO) not activated.

• The RMO light will come on when the RMO has been

activated.

DANGER

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic

accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children. DO NOT activate the Reverse Mowing

Option (RMO) if children are present. Children are often

attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.

Engine

Check and Add Engine Oil

Use Briggs & Stratton®Warranty Certified oils for best

performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable

if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use

special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for

the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

A SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard

starting.

B 10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 can cause increased

oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

C 5W-30

D Synthetic 5W-30

EVanguard®Synthetic 15W-50

*Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

**Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 can cause increased oil consumption.

1. Put the unit on a level surface as shown in Figure5.

Not for

Reproduction

2. Stop the engine and remove the key. Make sure that the

oil fill area is clean.

3. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure6).Remove the remaining

oil from the dipstick.

4. Install and tighten the dipstick.

5. Remove the dipstick again, and check the oil level.

6. Make sure that the oil level is at the top of the FULL mark

(B) on the dipstick.

7. If the oil level is FULL, install and tighten the dipstick.

8. If the oil level is LOW, add oil into the oil fill tube (C). 

Note:DO NOT add oil at the quick oil drain (if equipped).

9. Wait one minute, and check the oil level again.

10. Install and tighten the dipstick.

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)

will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the

equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil

level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it touches

the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for the correct oil

pressure before you operate the machine.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks,DO NOT

start the engine. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer to

correct the oil pressure.
