central time, with an Exmark Parts Plus order of six (6) line items or less.
If order is received by 3:00 p.m. central time, Exmark ships part(s) direct to dealer or customer, as requested by
distributor, same day, overnight UPS, Exmark bills the distributor for parts and shipping charges, where applicable.
The customer pays for the part and freight if it is shipped under the Exmark Parts Plus and if it arrives in
accordance to the program.
Who pays for the part and freight if it fails to arrive overnight in accordance to the program?
A. Under any circumstance the customer does not pay.
B. If the part does not arrive overnight due to:

to Exmark by 3:00 p.m., central time, the Distributor pays for the part and freight.
3. Exmark being unable to ship the part and the Exmark parts order is received by 3:00 p.m., central time,
Exmark pays for the part and freight.
4. If the part does not arrive overnight due to the shipper (UPS), the shipper pays for the freight and Exmark
pays for the part.

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is
an odorless deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also known to the
State of California to cause birth defects.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from
an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by spark.
♦
♦
♦
Refuel only in a well ventilated area, or refuel
outdoors.
Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
♦
♦
Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.
Move away from the area of the spill and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and
cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
♦
♦
Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow
the loss of any static charge.
♦
♦
♦
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon
the design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of the personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment.
It is essential that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating
condition prior to use for mowing.

add oil to gasoline.
Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2” below
the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and
cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
♦
♦
Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow
the loss of any static charge.
♦
♦
♦
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
This unit does not have proper turn signals, lights,
reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem.
These items are required to drive on a public street or
roadway.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment
is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing
personal injury.
♦
Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment
may also be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Do not drive a unit on a public street or roadway.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of backward tip-over.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Backward tip-over of the unit could cause serious
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp.
♦
Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
♦
♦
♦
♦
If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to
create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit.
DO NOT exceed a 15° angle between ramp and
ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.
Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up a ramp
to avoid tipping backward.
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit down a
ramp to avoid tipping backward.
4.4.2
Loading a Unit: Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks.
One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is
recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The lower
rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and
serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a
surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward. If it
is not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to
simulate a full width continuous ramp.
- 18 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the
ground and the ramp and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper
angle may cause mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves
from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to tip
backward. If loading on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so it is on
the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will
minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as possible.
DO NOT attempt to turn the unit while on the ramp, you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and sudden deceleration
when backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip
backward.

6. WASTE DISPOSAL
6.1 MOTOR OIL DISPOSAL
Engine oil and hydraulic oil are both pollutants to the environment. Dispose of used oil
at a certified recycling center or according to your state and local regulations.
6.2 MERCURY SWITCH DISPOSAL
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
The mercury contained in the tilt switch is poisonous.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Exposure to mercury can cause severe illness.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
♦
Never attempt to open or repair the tilt switch
♦
Avoid contact with the mercury.
The tilt switch (PN 633782) on this unit contains mercury, a hazardous material.
Mercury that is outside a sealed container vaporizes at room temperature. The vapors
are harmful. Mercury can be absorbed through the skin. Do not attempt to open or
repair this switch.
A very small amount of mercury is contained in a hermetically sealed body. The steel
switch is then potted in a hard epoxy in a plastic case. It is unlikely that the mercury will
ever escape from the enclosure. These high performance and reliable inexpensive
switches are recyclable. Mercury is an important and beneficial compound but requires
special care in handling and disposal. When used and managed properly, mercury is
not a threat to people or the environment. This information is presented to users so that
they are aware that these switches contain mercury and will apply sound disposal
practices when these devices reach their normal end of life or are damaged.
Several states have passed laws concerning the disposal of devices containing mercury.
In all the remaining states it is advisable to follow similar procedures. The laws state
that these sealed devices contain mercury and should not be placed in the garbage until
the mercury is removed and reused, recycled or otherwise managed to insure that it
does not become part of solid waste or waters. Management and disposal practices
must be within relevant federal, state or local laws.
Return the switch to your Exmark dealer if it is faulty and is being replaced or if the unit
containing the switch is no longer operating and is being scrapped. If the switch is
damaged or broken open use extreme caution in handling. Call you local waste
management authority or Exmark Customer Service for instructions.

6.3 BATTERY DISPOSAL
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is
poisonous and can cause severe burns
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or if it touches skin
can cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and rubber gloves
to protect skin and clothing when handling electrolyte.
♦
Do not swallow electrolyte.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed in the garbage. Management and
disposal practices must be within relevant federal, state or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the battery is no longer operating
and is being scrapped, take the battery to a local certified recycling center. If no local
recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery reseller.
7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
7.1 MOWER PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT (W/LEVERS FULLY FORWARD).
a) It is common for a machine to pull slightly left or right with levers fully
forward. Move levers forward and compensate as neccessary
b) Check air pressure in tires; 13 psi/drive, 13 psi/ pneumatic castors.
c) Check reverse indicator and motion control linkage adjustment. See
Section 5.2.10 and 5.2.11.
7.2 MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.
a) Check air pressure in tires; 13 psi/drive, 13 psi/ pneumatic casters. A
more uniform cutting height may be obtained with higher tire pressure on
rough terrain. A lower tire pressure provides more flotation. Higher
pressures in front casters may cause them to shimmy on hard surfaces.
b) Check deck support chains.
c) Check deck leveling (See Adjustments Section 5.2.2.)
Note: The front of the mower deck will be approximately 1/4”lower than
the back of the mower deck.
d) Check blades tip to tip for straightness (they should be within 3/16" or
one blade width from being in line.)
7.3 ENGINE WILL NOT START.
a) Be sure the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST”
positions, and the choke is in the “ON” position for a cold engine or the
“OFF” position for a warm engine.
b) Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank and that the fuel valve is open.
c) Operator must be in the seat. Be sure the seat switch is properly
adjusted. See Section 5.2.5.
d) Make sure the parking brake is set and motion control levers are moved
out (neutral lock position).
- 33 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
e) Check that the blades are disengaged.
f) Check that the spark plug wires are properly connected.
g) Check for loose or faulty wiring connections.
h) Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may
cause a faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly with
electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease and reconnect.
NOTE: When disconnecting electrical connectors DO NOT pull on the
wires to separate the connectors.
NOTE: After carefully checking the above steps, attempt to start the
engine. If it does not start, contact your authorized Exmark service
dealer.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be
connected and in proper operating condition prior to mower use.
When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example,
starting problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank. The following table
lists some of the common causes of trouble. Do not attempt to service or
replace major items or any items that call for special timing of adjustments
procedures (such as valves, governor, etc.). Have this work done by
your Engine Service Dealer.
