This manual presents all of the operating and maintenance instructions necessary to keep your mower at peak efficiency. If operated and maintained properly, your mower will give dependable service.
WARNING • • • The engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. • Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope. • Follow the manufacture’s recommendations for counterweights with attachments to improve stability. • Use extra care with grass catchers (material collection systems) or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine. • Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
7. Remove the key when the machine is left unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. D. SERVICE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

next and each subsequent time that the area is mowed. 2. Safety Awareness when Mowing a. Do not operate on steep slopes, those above 15 degrees (27% slope). b. Avoid turning downhill if possible, use extra care and go slowly. c. Avoid turning when going downhill, traction is at a minimum going downhill. d. Do not operate with discharge side of the mower toward streets, buildings, playgrounds, parking lots, other machines, animals, and other people. e.
Steering Levers Figure. 4 Figure. 3 Fuel Shutoff Valve 8. Seat Position Adjustment Lever: The Seat Position Adjustment Lever is located beneath the seat. The Seat Position Adjustment Lever is used to move the seat forward and backward. To place the seat in the desired position pull the seat adjustment lever to the left then push the seat forward or back to the desired position. Release the lever so the seat will lock in place. 9.
G. Initial Adjustments switch, remove connection of the spark plugs and using the foot pedal, lower the mowing deck into the cutting position. Using a ruler, pencil and paper, measure and note the distance from the paved surface to the bottom edge of the mowing blade at the front and the back of the deck on each side of the mower. (Four dimensions.) 1. Check the fluid levels and tires: Note: These checks should be made daily, before starting the engine. b. a.
5. Lubricate all fittings listed in the maintenance section. 1. Make sure the park brake is set to the “ON” position, both lap bars are in the neutral/start position, and the Power Take Off (PTO also referred to as blade control switch) is in the “off” (down) position. 2. Move the choke and the engine speed control (throttle) forward to the end of the slot. 3.
toward the opposite from the side that was advanced — I.E. to turn clockwise (to the Right), move the LEFT lap bar forward more than the right side, and to turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT), move the RIGHT lap bar forward more than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is in the neutral position and the other is advanced, the turn side tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed — turf defacement could occur (if on grass) as well as potential damages to the traction surface and the tire.
d. Turn the electric blade clutch switch “Off”. e. Push the choke/throttle control to the full forward position. f. Insert the key in the ignition and start switch and turn the switch to “On”. g. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction to the “Start” position until the engine starts. j. k. Note: Do not hold the key in the “Start” position for more than 10 seconds or you may damage the starter. If the engine does not start in this time, wait about 30 seconds and try again. 5. h.
Trailing Link hair pin hair pins Figure. 6 without offset, and with a maximum amount of sharpened cutting edge. c. Mulch- These blades are generally designed for use in cutting decks equipped with mulch baffles. The shape of the blade generally produces higher turbulence in order that the grass can be repeatedly cut and re-cut into smaller pieces. These blades generally require more horsepower than other blades.
m. Clean up the grass clippings and other materials washed from underneath the mower deck, and dispose of them properly. Hose Coupler (Shown without Hose Attached) g. To replace the blade reverse the above process and tighten nut to 100-120 lb ft. Note: Add a small amount of multi-purpose grease to the bolt threads to avoid corrosion and galvenic action WARNING: Never mow with dull blades! Blades that are bent should be replaced! The cutting blades are sharp and can cause severe injury.
D.Electrical Circuit Danger: Read General Safety Precautions Nos. 9 and 10. 1. Battery: The battery is located beneath the operator’s seat. If so equipped, remove the fillcaps and check the level of the liquid electrolyte in the battery every 50 operating hours. If the level in any of the six cells has dropped below the bottom of the split ring inside the fill hole, refill the cell with distilled water.
seat switch must be replaced or the electric PTO clutch must be repaired. The airgap should be checked every 100 hrs. (or less, if severe operating conditions exist such as when there are many on/off cycles, mulching operations, material collection systems used, and dusty/dirty conditions), and the air-gap adjusted if more than 0.025". To inspect, remove the “negative” cable from the battery and all sparkplug wires. The air-gap should be checked with feeler gages in the three slots of the BBC (PTO Clutch).
