EQUIPMENT SAFETY CONT'D 8. If the cutting blades should strike a solid object
or the equipment should start to vibrate abnor
mally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Check the cutting unit and traction unit for
damaged or defective parts. Repair any damage
before starting the engine or operating the cutter
unit. Be sure blades are in good condition and
blade bolts are tight.
9. Always park the mower and/or start the engine
on a level surface. If this is not possible, block
the wheels to prevent the mower from moving
when you are not in the operators position.
10. Cut grass slopes carefully. Do not start, stop or
turn suddenly. When operating on a slope, start
at the bottom of the slope and travel across the
grade whenever possible. Never travel up and
down the grade. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes.
Reduce speed and be very careful when operating
on slopes to prevent tipping. If you need to turn
on a hill, always turn uphill.
11. Do not touch engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause a burn.
12. Before leaving the operators position or leaving
the mower unattended, shift the transmission into
neutral, place the neutral latches in the neutral
lock position, and move the blade engagement
switch to OFF. Shut the engine OFF and remove
the key.

of any mower with the engine running. Stop
operation when another person approaches.
WARNING:
WHILE OPERATING
1. Start the engine when neutral latches are in the
neutral lock position, the cutter blades are disen
gaged, and the transmission is in neutral.
2. Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazard
ous and could possibly be deadly.
3. Using the machine demands attention. To
prevent loss of control:
A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Do not drive close to a drop off, ditch or
creek bank or other hazard.
D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on hillsides.

hold on the handles and walk never run.
F. Do not operate where conditions are slippery.
4. The discharge chute must always be installed and
in the down position on the side discharge cutter
deck except when the Scag optional grass catcher
or mulching plate are completely installed. If the
discharge area should plug, shut the engine off
and wait for all movement to stop before remov
ing the obstruction.
5. Disengage the blades and wait for them to stop
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
6. Shut the engine off and wait until the blades come
to a complete stop before removing the grass
catcher container.

PITCH is the angle of the blades (comparing front to
rear). A 1/4" downward pitch (front of deck down)
is recommended for best cutting performance.
HEIGHT is the nominal distance the blade is off of
the ground. This measurement is made with the
blades pointed side to side and distance is measured
between cutting tip and ground. (Also see Blade
Height Adjustment, next page)
Changes to the cutting height can also be achieved by
repositioning the cutter deck. (This adjustment will
also effect the pitch of the deck). There are three
available positions (see figure 6).
Figure 6
Caster spacers also can be repositioned to change
cutting heights and to change the pitch of the deck. (See
figure 7)

BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving
any number of the four smaller 1/4" spacers on the
blade mounting bolts to the top of the spindle shaft
or below the spindle shaft.
NOTE: All blades should be positioned equally.
For best cut and discharge, a minimun of three
spacers should be installed between the blade and
spindle. (See figure 8).
CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
(See figure 9)
NOTE: Dress the blade with a ile. Using a wheel
grinder may burn the blade. Check the
balance o the blade. I blades are out o
balance, vibration and premature wear o
spindle assembly can occur. See your
authorized Scag dealer or blade balancing
or special tools i you choose to balance
your own blades.
