SECTION 5: MOWER STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
5.1 Keep machine from collecting debris by storing in a covered area while not in use.
5.2 Fuel can harm your machine if left for more than 30 days without changing, especially if the
fuel contains ethanol. Never use fuel with more than 10% ethanol by volume. E-15 is not
permitted.
5.3 Disconnect the negative battery cable when machine will be stored for more than 30 days.
5.4 Always secure machine properly when transporting machine.
5.5 Do not load machine on trailer with blades engaged.
5.6 Do not use ramps to load the machine.
5.7 Make sure Parking Brake is in “up” position.

conditions before loading / unloading.
5.9 Make sure mode of transportation is suitable to bear the weight of mower.
5.10 Deck height should be set at maximum before attempting to load.
5.11 Secure mower with at least two straps capable of securing weight of mower.
SECTION 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Q: How do I prevent an uneven cutting pattern and increase the quality of cut?
6.1 A: Check tire pressure, check blade sharpness (replace blades or sharpen at least once
per year or when needed), make sure blades are tightened properly, check spring and belt
tension, check the underside of the deck to ensure the mower deck is free of grass build-up
and debris, make sure your machine is at full throttle, and vary your mowing pattern each
time you cut your grass.
6.2 Q: What should I do if my mower won’t start?
6.2 A: Check battery charge and connection (grounds), check your fuel (make sure fuel is less
than 30 days old and contains no water), make sure your spark plug is in good condition
and spark plug wire is attached, and make sure air filter is clean (a dirty filter makes it more
difficult for the engine to draw air). Check for broken wires or bad connections.
6.3 Q: What should I do if the blades won’t engage?
6.3 A: Make sure the safety switch is plugged in on the bottom of seat. Check the underside of
the PTO engager to ensure the plug is secure at switch.
6.4 Q: What type of fuel is recommended for my mower?
6.4 A: We recommend that you use a name brand fuel to ensure quality. Use fuel with an octane
rating near 87. Higher octane fuels offer no benefit. Only fuels with an ethanol content of
10% or less may be used. E-15 is not permitted.
