Motion Control Levers  
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously  
variable using the two steering controls. The steering  
controls can be moved forward or backward about  
a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral  
position, which is locked if the steering controls are  
moved outward.  
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the  
machine stands still.  
By moving both controls an equal amount forward  
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line  
forward or backward respectively.  
For example,to turn right while moving forward, move  
the right control towards the neutral position. The  
rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine  
turns to the right.  
8058-042  
Steering controls  
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control  
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully  
moving the other steering control forward from its  
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero  
turning is determined by which steering control is  
moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left  
steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns  
to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.  
WARNING!  
The machine can turn very rapidly if  
one steering control is moved much  
further forward than the other.

Tracking  
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the  
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air  
pressure for the rear tires is 15 psi (1 bar).  
1. Tracking adjustments are made using the tracking  
knob. The tracking knob acts as limiting device for  
the motion control levers when in the full-forward  
position.  
2. For preliminary tracking adjustment, move unit  
to an open, unobstructed area such as an empty  
parking lot or open field.  
3. Rotating the tracking knob allows fine tuning  
adjustments so the machine tracks straight with  
the steering control levers in the full forward  
position.  
8058-044  
4. Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the  
operation position) to increase the speed on the  
left lever. Rotate counterclockwise to decrease  
speed.

Refueling  
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The  
capacity for the tank is 5 gallons (19 liters).  
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and  
keep the cap properly tightened.  
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane  
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally  
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical  
Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not  
allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage  
to the engine and components may occur.  
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),  
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure  
good cold weather starting.  
8065-007  
Gasoline fuel tank  
WARNING!  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Gasoline is highly flammable.  
Observe caution and fill the tank  
outdoors (see the safety instruction).  
Experience indicates that alcohol blended  
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)  
can attract moisture which leads to separation  
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic  
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine  
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,  
the fuel system should be emptied before  
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas  
tank, start the engine and let it run until the  
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh  
fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions  
for additional information. Never use engine  
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or  
permanent damage may occur.  
WARNING!  
The engine and the exhaust system  
become very hot during operation.  
Risk for burns if touched.  
Allow engine and exhaust system to  
cool at least two (2) minutes before  
refueling  
WARNING!  
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not  
overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil  
or fuel. Do not store, spill or use  
gasoline near an open flame.

OPeRaTION  
Read the Safety Instructions section and the  
following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine.  
moved forward or backwards, the mower will not  
move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly.  
This will allow mower to start moving forward in a  
straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral  
position and mower should stop moving. Pull back  
slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start  
moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to  
the neutral position and mower should stop moving.  
Training  
Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than  
typical riding mowers due to their unique steering  
capabilities.  
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety  
prior to attempting to move the mower under its own  
power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating  
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced  
ground speed by NoT moving control levers to the  
furthest forward or reverse positions during initial  
operation, or until operator becomes comfortable  
with controls. We also suggest first time users, or new  
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with  
the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as  
concrete or blacktop PRIoR to attempting to operate  
on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with  
mower controls and zero turning capability, they may  
damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.  
To turn to the right  
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever  
back towards the neutral position while maintaining  
the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation  
of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in  
that direction.  
To turn to the left  
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever  
back towards the neutral position while maintaining  
the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation  
of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that  
direction.  
Steering  
To zero turn  
While moving in a forward direction, first pull both  
control levers back until the mower stops or slows  
dramatically.  
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward  
position and the other in the reverse position, the  
mower turns to the direction of the reverse position  
lever.  
To move forward and backward  
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements  
is effected by the movement of the control lever(s)  
on each side of mower. The left control lever controls  
the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right  
wheel.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
When control levers are in the reverse position  
they return to neutral when released. This may  
cause the mower to suddenly stop.  
First time users should push mower (see Manual  
Transport in the Operation section) to an open, flat  
area, without other people or vehicles or obstacles  
nearby. To move unit under its own power, the  
operator must be in the seat, start engine (see  
Before Starting in the Operation section), adjust  
engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do  
not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers  
inward. As long as the control levers have not been

Mowing Tips  
WARNING!  
observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects to  
Clear the lawn of stones and other  
objects that can be thrown out by the  
blades.  
avoid collisions.  
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it  
until the desired mowing result is attained. The  
average lawn should be cut to 2½" (64 mm)  
during the cool season and over 3" (76 mm)  
during the hot months. For healthier and better  
looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth.  
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15  
cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the  
first cut relatively high; the second to the desired  
height.  
The mowing result will be best with a high engine  
speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed  
(the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not  
too long and dense, the driving speed can be  
increased without negatively affecting the mowing  
result.  
The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often.  
The lawn becomes more even and the grass  
clippings more evenly distributed over the mown  
area. The total time taken is not increased as a  
higher operating speed can be used without poor  
mowing results.  
8011-603b  
Mowing pattern  
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is  
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn,  
clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten  
under the cowling.  
Hose the mower deck underside with water after  
each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall  
be raised into the transport position. Make sure  
the mower is cooled and the engine is off.  
Use compressed air to clean top surface of the  
deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, engine  
and electrical components.  
When the mulching kit is used, it is important that  
the mowing interval is frequent and that the deck  
is cleaned more often.  
WARNING!  
Never drive the rider on terrain that  
slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow  
slopes up and down, never side  
to side. Avoid sudden directional  
changes.

Anti-scalp rollers  
Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are  
just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the  
desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti-  
scalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position  
to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a  
flat level surface.  
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions:  
8058-054  
Upper position 1½ to 3" (38 to 76 mm) grass.  
Middle position 3" to 4½" (76 to 114 mm) grass.

Transaxle (Transmission) Fluid Change  
10. Fill with 20W50 motor oil until oil just appears  
at the bottom of each transaxles’ top port  
(approximately 2 quarts per transaxle, 4 quarts  
total). Install the top port lug into each transaxle  
as the oil level reaches the port.  
This transaxle is designed with an external filter for  
ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality  
levels and longer life, an oil filter change interval of  
every 200 hours is recommended.  
The following procedure is performed with the  
transaxles installed in the mower and the mower on  
level ground. Apply the pump release valve for each  
transaxle and set the parking brake.  
11. Install and torque the top port plugs to 180 in./lbs.  
12. Continue to fill the transaxles through the  
expansion tank until the “Full Cold” line is reached  
(this will take approximately 23 additional ounces).  
13. Reinstall the expansion tank cap by hand. Be  
careful to not overtighten.  
1. Remove the three ¼" filter guard screws and filter  
guard. Clean any loose debris from around the  
perimeter of the filter. See illustration.  
2. Place an oil drain pan (12" or more diameter and  
8 qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter.  
Remove the oil filter from the transaxle.

Purging Procedures  
Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydrostatic  
drive applications, it is critical to purge the system.  
These purge procedures should be implemented  
any time a hydrostatic system has been opened to  
facilitate maintenance or any additional oil has been  
added to the system.  
Resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may be:  
Noisy operation.  
Lack of power or drive after short term operation.  
High operation temperature and excessive  
expansion of oil.  
Shortened component life.  
Before starting, make sure the oil tank is at the proper  
oil level. If not, fill to the specifications outlined above.  
The following procedures are best performed with the  
vehicle drive wheels off the ground, then repeated  
under normal operating conditions.  
1. Disengage the brake if activated.  
2. With the bypass valve open and the engine  
running at fast idle, slowly move the directional  
control in both forward and reverse directions (5  
or 6 times). As air is purged from the unit, the oil  
level will drop.  
3. With the bypass valve closed and the engine  
running, slowly move the directional control  
in both forward and reverse directions (5 to  
6 times). Check the oil level and add oil as  
required after stopping the engine.  
4. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and 3  
until all the air is completely purged from the  
system. When the hydraulic drive operates  
at normal noise levels and moves smoothly  
forward and reverse at normal speeds, the  
hydraulic drive is considered purged.  
5. After the vehicle has been used two times, the  
oil level should be checked while the oil is cold  
and adjusted accordingly.

sTORage  
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:  
Winter Storage  
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under  
the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint  
and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of  
the mower deck to avoid corrosion.  
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts  
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have  
become loose.  
At the end of the mowing season, the machine should  
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for  
longer than 30 days).  
Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days  
or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the  
carburetor and disrupt engine function.  
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards  
to the sticky residues that can occur during storage.  
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.  
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start  
the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor  
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the  
carburetor.  
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a  
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn  
over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed  
and then refit the spark plug.  
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage  
container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by  
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for  
at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that  
it reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank  
and the carburetor if a stabilizer has been added.  
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.  
WARNING!  
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the  
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct  
cold.  
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover  
it for extra protection.  
Never store an engine with fuel  
in the tank indoors or in poorly  
ventilated spaces where fuel vapor  
can come in contact with open  
flames, sparks, or a pilot light such  
as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes  
drier, etc. Handle the fuel with care.  
It is very flammable and can cause  
serious personal injury and property  
damage. Drain the fuel into an  
approved container outdoors and  
far away from open flame. Never  
use gasoline for cleaning. Use  
a degreaser and warm water.  
Service  
When ordering spare parts, please specify the  
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.  
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.  
An annual check-up at an authorized service  
workshop is a good way to ensure that the machine  
performs its best the following season.
