4.10 STOPPING
1. Slow engine speed to idle.
2. Place the right foot pedal in the center (neutral)
position.
3. Engage the blade brake.
-IMPORTANT-
If at all possible, do not engage the mower
brake with engine running at high speed, since
premature wear of the electric clutch will oc-
cur. Lower speed to near idle then engage the
brake.
4.11 AFTER OPERATION
1. Park the mower on a flat and level surface and fully
lower the cutting deck to the ground. Stop the engine
and engage the parking and blade brakes. Remove the
key from the ignition switch.
-IMPORTANT-
If the radiator dirt screen is not removed and
cleaned after every use, the screen will be-
come clogged with grass clippings, etc., block-
ing the air flow through the radiator. This
will cause a high engine operating tempera-
ture that may cause damage to the engine.

CAUTION:
The blade brake stops the blades from rotating.
If the blades do not stop, contact your Scag
Dealer.

Remove the key from the ignition switch when
leaving the mower unattended to inhibit children
and inexperienced operators from starting the
engine.
CAUTION:
2. Clean the radiator dirt screen. See Section 7 for
radiator dirt screen removal and cleaning instructions..
3. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use high
pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical
components.
