CYCLONIC V-TWIN ENGINE IS SMOOTH RUNNING AND POWERFUL
The 22-hp (16.4-kW) V-twin engine used in the S220 Tractor provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions
V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
Large, 44.2-cu in. (724-cc) displacement
Plenty of torque helps to get the job done fast.
Large displacement engine increases the ability to get an even cut without mowing a second time.
Camshaft and carburetor designs create the optimum torque rise for rapid response to varying load conditions.
Electronic ignition for fast starts
Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for keeping the oil cleaner for a long engine life and extending the time between oil changes; full-pressure lubrication is also more effective when operating the tractor on an incline
Excellent serviceability with easily replaced air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter and a convenient oil-drain hose to make draining the oil easy and clean

CYCLONIC AIR FILTER
Cyclonic air-management system removes larger particles of dirt before they reach the air filter for reduced filter maintenance and longer engine life:
Cyclonic design ejects large dirt particles before they make contact with the filter.
Large, high-quality dry-type paper element air filter thoroughly cleans engine intake air.
The cover over the air filter is easily removed with two knobs for cleaning or replacement of the filter.

SERVICEABILITY
The engine oil check and fill tube are conveniently located for easy access. An oil drain hose makes draining oil easy and clean.
The replaceable oil filter and fuel filter are easy to access and change to minimize service time and cost.
Two debris inspection ports help ensure clean engine fins for optimum cooling. Bolts to open them are conveniently located under the air filter cover.

FLYWHEEL ALTERNATOR
A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:
14-amp charging capacity
Regulated to keep the battery at full charge without risk of overcharging

FUEL TANK
The capacity is 2.4 U.S. gal. (9.1 L).
The fuel filler opening is conveniently located under the seat.
Filling the tank without spilling is easy.
A tethered fuel tank cap is more convenient.
The sealed fuel cap helps keep vapors inside the tank.

42-IN. (107-CM) ACCEL DEEP (42A) MOWER DECK CUTS CLEAN AND IS VERSATILE
The 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:
4.97-in. (12.6-cm) depth throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance
Optional MulchControl system provides superior mulching performance and versatility
Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance
Mower deck suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut
Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level, help reduce scalping
0.25-in. (6.4-mm) cut-height increments allow the mower to be set at the desired cut height
Compatible with efficient 6.5-bu (229-L) two-bag material collection system

EXCELLENT CUT QUALITY
Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
Reducing the amount of recutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.

PRODUCTIVITY - GETS THE JOB DONE FAST
Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
Cut-and-throw chute has a large, optimized inlet which aids in collecting material by using airflow from the large deck opening

CLEANLINESS - FOR THE MOWER AND THE OPERATOR
The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck
Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck
Even flow of material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and MulchControl makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.
The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.

MOWER WASH PORT
A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
Hose connector is included with the mower deck.

VERSATILITY - EASY TO CHANGE BETWEEN SIDE DISCHARGE, MULCH, AND BAGGING MODES
The 42A Mower Deck is designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:
With an optional MulchControl system installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from side discharging to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever or push of an electric switch.

MOWER BLADES
High-lift bagging blades are included with the bagger chute. They provide optimum performance when bagging in difficult conditions, such as when the grass is moist, dense, or long:
High-lift bagging blades also work well when side discharging material.
Mulching blades are included with the optional MulchControl system. They can be used for mulching, side discharging, and bagging in most conditions.

CAST-IRON FRONT AXLE DOES NOT BEND
The front axle is constructed of solid cast iron that will not bend:
Automotive-like steering system with sector-and-pinion steering gears and single drag link and tie rod provides a very strong, low-effort, and tight-turning system.
Grease fittings allow regular lubrication to help maintain easy steering and minimize wear.
Large, 0.75-in. (19-mm) diameter wheel spindles provide excellent durability.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Three-spoke steering wheel for greater operator comfort and control:
Large, 12-in. (30.5-cm) diameter steering wheel gives good comfort and control.
The contoured dash has clean, attractive styling:
Controls are color coded and labeled for easy identification by the operator.
The hour meter makes it easy to tell when oil changes and other maintenance should be performed.
The ignition switch is on the dash for starting ease.
Functional design of the controls provides good appearance and a comfortable feel.
Engine speed lever and spring-loaded choke lever
Power take-off (PTO) control lever
The choke lever is spring loaded so the operator cannot accidentally operate the tractor with the choke on.
The mower deck is engaged with the easy-to-see and easy-to-use yellow lever above the dashboard:
Two-pedal speed/direction controls
Automotive-type accelerator controls ensure easy operation.
Cruise control is standard equipment
Brake/parking brake pedal
Mower deck height adjustment lever
Cut height is adjustable from 1 to 4 in. (2.5 to 10.2 cm).
