FEATURES AND BENEFITS

B&S VANGUARD ENGINE

810 cc (44.2 cu. in.) Vanguard, V-Twin, OHV engine Heavy-duty components enhance power and reliability Remote-mounted, centrifugal multi-stage air cleaner with advanced debris management Extended maintenance levels Three-year limited comercial engine manufacturer warranty (see dealer for details)

DESIGN-MATCHED TRANSMISSION

Design-matched, fully hydraulic Parker HT Series integrated pump-and-wheel-motor transmissions with in-line cooling fans and fine-particle filtration No power-robbing gearbox or other wear parts for longer service life Provides best-in-class transmission fluid change interval with no break-in period, reducing costs and maintenance time

HEAVY-DUTY DECK

Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck is fabricated from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for better cut quality Deck easily converts from side discharge to optional Down Discharge™ mulching or PowerVac™ collection Sentry™ spindles with massive, 8-inch flanges anchored in a 6-bolt pattern, spread the force of impact for greater strength Spindle planes are fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate and combine with the spindles to form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and deliver a high-quality cut Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion

POWERFOLD® ELECTRIC DECK LIFT

Standard on all FrontMount™ DuraMax® decks, PowerFold® is the zero-turn mower industry's first electric deck lift (introduced in 2004). PowerFold® rotates the deck nearly 90 degrees to provide easy access to the underside of the deck for simplified maintenance and mulching package installation, plus space-saving portability and storage. The feature also adjusts cutting height between 2.0 and 4.5 inches and controls deck lift functions using a single switch.

WARRANTY

Commercial Use: 2-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first),; limited warranty covering parts and labor. Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty: first two years covering parts and labor, second two years covering parts only.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance

REDUCED MAINTENANCE

Only four Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95% Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

ULTIMATE OPERATOR STATION®

The deep-cushioned, deluxe Premium Comfort Seat features a coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support for all-day comfort. Iso-mounting eliminates vibration before it reaches the seat, and both padded seat and armrests are covered in scuff-resistant, breathable CoolTemp Cordura® fabric, which dissipates heat and won’t tear or crack with extended use.

ULTIMATE OPERATOR STATION®

Operational controls including throttle, choke and angled View-Eze™ console and adjustable cup holder are well positioned for visibility and ease of reach

ULTIMATE OPERATOR STATION®

One- or two-handed operation with ComfortReach™ adjustable Hydra-Smooth™ dual levers that automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse position.

VIGILANT OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM™

Standard, low profile operator protection structure (OPS) with an adjustable seatbelt Dampened steering levers that return to neutral from forward and reverse Interlock switches that shut down the engine when the operator leaves the seat while PTO is engaged or levers are in drive position

WIDE-STANCE SINGLE-FORK TAIL WHEELS

Wide stance single-fork tail wheels provide increased flotation and stability for a smoother ride.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

SUNSHADE CANOPY VINYL

Lightweight, water repellent, UV-resistant vinyl canopy mounts easily to OPS or ROPS to limit exposure to direct sunlight, reducing eye strain and increasing operator comfort.

SUNSHADE CANOPY ALUMINUM

Diamond-plated aluminum canopy is highly resistant to abrasions. Easily mounts to ROPS or OPS to increase operator comfort by limiting exposure to direct sunlight and reducing eye strain. Canopy tilts up and down for customized comfort. (Optional fan and light kits increase comfort and roadside visibility.)
