Before Operation

Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other

debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower

blades.

Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the

day. If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to

become plugged.

For efficient bagging, air circulation under the

mower deck, through the chute and into the bag

is very important.

For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN 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 Double / Triple Catcher

Always operate with throttle at full speed when

mowing.

Always 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.

WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the tractor. disengage

the PTO, and allow all moving parts to stop

BEFORE disconnecting or clearing tube, or

emptying catcher.

Before 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.

CAUTION

This machine produces sound levels

in excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s

ear and can cause hearing loss though

extended periods of exposure.

Wear hearing protection when operating this

machine.

After Operation

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 Grass Catcher

Clean 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.

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. Always store away from moisture.

Mowing Without the Blower

For operation without the blower, the deflector must

be properly installed in the down position.

To remove the blower, reverse the installation steps.

Rear Suspension Adjustment

(Ferris Models Only)

For IS1500Z & IS2000Z Models:

The upper mounting position #2 (See Figure 1)

should be used when a rear-mount grass bagger

system is installed.

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. Chock 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).

Adjust 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.

For All Other Ferris Models:

More spring pre-load should be used with heavy

weight operators.

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. Chock 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

counter-clockwise to increase the pre-load, turn

clockwise 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.

WARNING

Use two hands when adjusting the shock

springs. This will prevent the wrench from

slipping while pressure is being applied.

Figure 21. Install Belt

3. Check the belt tension by measuring the distance

from the center of the v-idler pulley (A, Figure

22) mounting bolt and the blower housing. This

should measure between 3 - 3-3/8” (7,6 - 8,6 cm).

4. If measurement falls outside of this range, you

must move the idler pulley (B) either forward or

back to achieve the proper belt tension.

NOTE: If pulley position needs to be adjusted, make

sure that it is reinstalled in the same row of holes as

determined in the blower assembly (Step 9, page

13).
