Safety Decals Safety Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. GENERL WRNINGS Know the mower controls, safety rules and how to stop quickly. RED ND UNDERSTND THE MOWER OPERTOR S MNUL. Read and obey all safety decals. Wear appropriate ear, eye and breathing protection. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO). Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the collection system. heck the collection system to make sure it is bolted tightly to the rider. DO NOT operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place. Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades when not mowing. DO NOT mow in reverse. lways look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse. DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a building or any object. Slow down before turning. DO NOT carry passengers on the rider. When blower assembly is removed from the mower deck, the deflector must be properly installed. ollector bags are subject to deterioration and wear during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for tears, holes or weak spots and replace with a new bag that meets manufacturer s durability standards. If the mower stalls or the turbo blower chute plugs: 1. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO); 2. Stop the engine and remove the key; 3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving parts to stop. 4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute with a piece of wood before restarting the engine. NEVER place hands into blower housing to clear jammed object. lower may rotate when object is removed. For added rider stability and to prevent tipping or loss of control: a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and when turning corners. b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended that the collection system be kept no more than half full when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on slopes when the collection system is empty. c. Mow across the face of slopes; not up and down. Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10 ). 2 www.simplicitymfg.com

General Operating Instructions EFORE OPERTION lear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades. heck grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day. If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to become plugged. Operation For efficient bagging, air circulation under the mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is very important. For this reason, EFORE YOU EGIN MOWING you should make certain the underside of the mower and the underside of the catcher lid are free from grass and debris. Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover. MOWING WITH THE DOULE / TRIPLE THER lways operate with throttle at full speed when mowing. lways wear hearing protection when operating grass catcher. Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width of the mower to prevent clogging. If grass is long, operate with mower in high cutting position for first pass, cutting again in a lower position on a second pass. Do not open the cover with mower engaged. If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under deck, the tube may be plugged or the bags may be full. Discontinue mowing, stop the rider, disengage the PTO and then empty the catcher or clear the tube. WRNING LWYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the PTO, and allow all moving parts to stop EFORE disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying catcher. efore leaving the operator s position for any reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider and mower free of grass, leaves and excess grease. Do not stop or park rider over dry leaves, grass or combustible materials. UTION This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85 d at the operator s ear and can cause hearing loss though extended periods of exposure. Wear hearing protection when operating this machine. 4 www.simplicitymfg.com
General Operating Instructions FTER OPERTION Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside of the lid. Note: The lid screen can be partially removed for easier cleaning and should be cleaned regularly. The blower housing and tube should be removed for cleaning. Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover. STORING THE GRSS THER lean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild detergent (other products may damage the tube). Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside of the lid. The screen can be partially removed for easier cleaning. Operation If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion. Store in a dry area. Hang the catcher and catcher bags to dry thoroughly before storing for a long period of time. lways store away from moisture. MOWING WITHOUT THE LOWER For operation without the blower, the deflector must be properly installed in the down position. To remove the blower, see LOWER & OLLETOR REMOVL on page 19. 5
RER SUSPENSION DJUSTMENT For itation & obalt Models: The upper mounting position #2 (See Figure 1) should be used when a rear-mount grass bagger system is installed. POSITION #1 (FTORY SET) POSITION #2 (GRSS GGER) To adjust the upper mounting position: 1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake. 2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with jackstands. The jackstands must be under the bumper. hock the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling. 3. Position the jack under the cross member that ties the suspension arms together and slowly raise the rear suspension to relieve the pressure on the upper shock mounting bolts. NOTE: This will require small adjustments to the jack s position. The shock should move freely on the mounting bolt when the pressure is relieved. 4. Remove the upper shock mounting hardware and pivot the shock to the position #2 (see Figure 1). djust the jack to align the shock mounts to the shocks. 5. Reinstall the upper shock mounting hardware and tighten securely. 6. Remove the jack from under the suspension cross member. 7. Remove the jackstands from under the machine. Figure 1. Rear Suspension djustments For ll Models: More spring pre-load should be used with heavy weight operators. WRNING Use two hands when adjusting the shock springs. This will prevent the wrench from slipping while pressure is being applied. To adjust the spring pre-load: 1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake. 2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with jackstands. hock the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling. 3. Remove the rear drive tires. 4. See Figure 1. Using the supplied spanner wrench (p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the wrench in place with one hand, turn OUNTER- LOKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn LOKWISE to decrease the pre-load. Make sure both shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load. 5. Reinstall the rear drive tires. Torque the lug bolts to 85-95 ft/lbs. (115-129 Nm). Remove the jackstands from under the machine. NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat on the right-hand side of the machine. 6 www.simplicitymfg.com
