Your mower was built to the highest standards in the industry. However, the prolonged life and maximum efficiency of your mower depends on you following the operating, maintenance and adjustment instructions in this manual.

If additional information or service is needed, contact your Scag Power Equipment Dealer.

We encourage you to contact your dealer for repairs. All Scag dealers are informed of the latest methods to service this equipment and provide prompt and efficient service in the field or at their service shop. They carry a full line of Scag service parts.

USE OF OTHER THAN ORIGINAL SCAG REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

When ordering parts, always give the model and serial number of your tractor. The serial number plate is located where shown in Figure 1-1.

For pictorial clarity, some illustrations and figures in this manual may show shields, guards or plates open or removed. Under no circumstances should your mower be operated without these devices in place.

All information is based upon product information available at the time of approval for printing. Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.
