WARNING

Do not mow on inclines

with a slope in excess

of 15 degrees (a rise

of approximately

2-1/2 feet every 10

feet). A riding mower

could overturn and

cause serious injury.

If operating a walk-

behind mower on such

a slope, it is extremely

difficult to maintain your

footing and you could

slip, resulting in serious

injury.

Operate RIDING

mowers up and down

slopes, never across

the face of slopes.

Operate

WALK-BEHIND

mowers across the

face of slopes, never

up and down slopes.

Sight and hold this level with a vertical tree...

or a corner of a building...

or a fence post

Fold along dotted line (represents a 15° slope)

Safe

Operation

Practices

General Operation

1. Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety

before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,

understand, and follow all instructions on the ma-

chine and in the manual(s) before operation. Keep

this manual in a safe place for future and regular

reference and for ordering replacement parts.

2. Be completely familiar with the controls and the

proper use of this machine before operating it.

3. This machine is a precision piece of power equip-

ment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme

caution at all times. Your unit has been designed to

perform one job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any

other purpose.

4. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate

this machine. Children 14 years old and over should

read and understand the instructions in this manual

and should be trained and supervised by a adult.

5. Only responsible individuals who are familiar with

these rules of safe operation should be allowed to

use this machine.

6. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is

to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,

toys and other foreign objects which could be tripped

over or picked up and thrown by the blade. Thrown

objects can cause serious personal injury.

7. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of

material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the

like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall

or obstruction which may cause discharged material

to ricochet back toward the operator.

8. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury,

stay in the operator zone behind the handles and

keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least

75 feet from the mower while it is in operation. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

9. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during

operation and while performing an adjustment or repair

to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can

cause serious injury to the eyes.

10. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-

fitting slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that

cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are

recommended. Never operate this machine in bare

feet, sandals, slippery or light weight (e.g. canvas)

shoes.

11. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate

hands and feet.

12. A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause

blade contact or thrown object injuries.

13. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being

pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or

tripping. Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling;

release the handle immediately.

14. Never pull the mower back toward you while you are

walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall

or obstruction first look down and behind to avoid

tripping and then follow these steps:

a. Step back from the mower to fully extend your

arms.

b. Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.

c. Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way

toward you.

d. Repeat these steps as needed.

15. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

16. Do not engage the self-propelled mechanism on units

so equipped while starting engine.

17. The blade control handle is a safety device. Never

attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the

safety device inoperative and may result in personal

injury through contact with the rotating blade. The

blade control handle must operate easily in both

directions and automatically return to the disengaged

position when released.

18. Never operate the mower in wet grass. Always be

sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious

personal injury. If you feel you are losing your footing,

release the blade control handle immediately and the

blade will stop rotating within three seconds.

19. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Walk,

never run.

20. Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or

roads.

21. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,

stop the engine and check immediately for the cause.

Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

WARNING: Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain

or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

WARNING

This symbol points

out important safety

instructions which, if

not followed, could

endanger the personal

safety and/or property

of yourself and others.

Read and follow all

instructions in this

manual before at-

tempting to operate

this machine. Failure

to comply with these

instructions may result

in personal injury. When

you see this symbol.

HEED ITS WARNING!

Your Responsibility

Restrict the use

of this power machine

to persons who read,

understand

and follow the warnings

and instructions

in this manual

and on the machine.

DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with

any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This

machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety

instructions could result in serious injury or death.

22. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to

a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or

unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to

rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.

Never place any part of the body in the blade area until

you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.

23. Never operate mower without proper trail shield,

discharge cover, grass catcher, blade control handle or

other safety protective devices in place and working.

Never operate mower with damaged safety devices.

Failure to do so, can result in personal injury.

24. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn.

Do not touch.

25. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height

adjustment while the engine is running.

26. Only use parts and accessories made for this machine

by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in

personal injury.

27. When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance

is felt, then pull rapidly. Rapid retraction of starter cord

(kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster

than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises

or sprains could result.

28. If situations occur which are not covered in this

manual, use care and good judgment. Call customer

assistance for the name of your nearest servicing

dealer.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents

which can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes

requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do

not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge included

as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating

this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater

than 15 degrees, do not mow it.

Do:

1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on

slopes.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps

which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can

cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are

losing your balance, release the blade control handle

immediately, and the blade will stop rotating within 3

seconds.

Do Not:

1. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments,

you could lose your footing or balance.

2. Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on the

slope gauge.

3. Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could

cause slipping.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted

to the mower and the mowing activity. They do not

understand the dangers. Never assume that children

will remain where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of a responsible adult other than the

operator.

2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind

and down for small children.

4. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,

doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may

obscure your vision of a child who may run into the

mower.

5. Keep children away from hot or running engines.

They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.

6. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a

power mower. Children 14 years old and over should

read and understand the operation instructions and

safety rules in this manual and shou

ld be trained and

supervised by a parent.

Service

Safe Handling Of Gasoline:

1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use

extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is

extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is

spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

2. Use only an approved gasoline container.

3. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place contain-

ers on the ground away from your vehicle before

filling.

4. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with

a portable container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

5. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

6 Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

7. Never fuel machine indoors because flammable

vapors will accumulate in the area.

8. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine

is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two

minutes before refueling.

WARNING

Always stop engine,

disconnect spark plug,

and ground against

engine before cleaning,

lubricating or doing any

kind of maintenance on

your machine.

IMPORTANT: Do not

use a pressure washer

or garden hose to clean

your unit. These may

cause damage to electric

components, spindles,

pulleys, bearings, or the

engine. The use of water

will result in shortened life

and reduce serviceability.

General Recommendations

1. Always observe safety rules when performing

any maintenance.

2. The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator abuse

or negligence. To receive full value from warranty,

operator must maintain the lawn mower as

instructed here.

3. Changing of engine-governed speed will void

engine warranty.

4. All adjustments should be checked at least once

each season.

5. Periodically check all fa

steners and make sure these

are tight.

Lubrication

1. Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle

at least once a season with light oil. The blade

control must operate freely in both directions. See

Figure 6-1.

2. If your mower is equipped with ball bearing wheels,

lubricate at least once a season with a light oil, all

other types require no lubrication. However, if the

wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate the

surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the

wheel with light automotive oil.

3. Lubricate the torsion spring and pivot point periodi-

cally with light oil to prevent rust. See Figure 6-1.

4. The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the

factory and does not require lubrication.

5. Follow the accompanying engine manual for lubrica-

tion schedule and instruction.

Deck Care

Clean underside of the mower deck after each use

to prevent build-up of grass clippings or other debris.

Follow steps below for this job.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from

lawn mower or place a piece of plastic under the gas

cap.

2. Tip mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep

the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold mower

firmly.

WARNING: Never tip the mower more

than 90º in any direction and do not

leave the mower tipped for any length

of time. Oil can drain into the upper

part of the engine causing a starting

problem.

3. Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a

suitable tool. Do not spray with water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a pressure washer or garden

hose to clean your unit. These may cause damage to

bearings, or the engine. The use of water will result in

shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Figure 6-1

Cutting grass in

sandy soil condition

causes abrasive wear

to the blade.

4. Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If

you had put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make

sure to remove it now.

Engine

1. Refer to the separate engine manual for engine

maintenance instructions.

2. Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate

engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow

instructions carefully.

3. Under normal conditions service air cleaner as

instructed in the separate engine manual packed with

your unit. Clean every few hours under extremely

dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and

flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should

be serviced.

4. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset

once a season. Spark plug replacement is recom-

mended at the start of each mowing season; check

engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifica-

tions.

NOTE: This spark ignition system meets all require-

ments of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment

Regulations.

5. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.

Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean

to permit proper air circulation which is essential to

engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all

grass, dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.

Rear Flap Replacement

The rear flap is attached to the back of the mower deck,

and is designed to minimize the possibility that objects

will be thrown from the rear of the mower toward the

operator. If the rear flap becomes damaged, replace as

follows.

1. Lift rear door, remove screw and press flap in on either

side to remove from hole. See Figure 6-2.

Maintaining

Your Lawn

Mower

An unbalanced blade

will cause excessive

vibration when rotat-

ing at high speeds. It

may cause damage

to mower, and could

break causing per-

sonal injury.

When removing

the cutting blade

for sharpening or

replacement or

when sliding the belt

around it, protect

your hands with a

pair of heavy gloves

or use a heavy rag to

hold the blade.

WARNING

Figure 6-4

2. Remove screw and flap from opposite hole and replace

with new flap following these steps in reverse order.

AdjustmentsVariable Speed Cable

Periodic adjustment of the variable speed cable may be

necessary due to normal wear on the drive system.

Adjustment is needed if unit begins to run too slow or

too fast.

1. Start engine and place shift lever in the third speed

position.

2. Stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire and

ground it against engine.

3. With engine off, shift back to first speed. This will

provide slack in the cable.

4. Remove back cover of speed control housing by

removing the three screws securing it to the housing.

See Figure 6-3.

5. Remove screw and flat washer securing cable. See

Figure 6-3.

NOTE: Make sure to take note of which slot in housing

cable is in.

6. Using a pair of needle nose pliers or similar tool, move

eyelet in cable only one slot to the left in housing as

shown in Figure 6-4.

NOTE: Moving eyelet to the left speeds unit up; moving it

to the right slows it down.

7. Replace screw and washer removed earlier and

reassemble back of housing.

Figure 6-2

Figure 6-3

Maintaining

Your Lawn

Mower

NOTE: When replacing

the belt, check that the

newly installed belt is

seated correctly and is

riding smoothly on the

engine pulley.

Blade Care

Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks,

especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when

necessary. Follow the steps below for blade service:

1. Disconnect spark plug boot from spark plug. Turn

mower on its side making sure that the air filter and

the carburetor are facing up.

2. Remove the bolt and the blade bell support which

hold the blade and the blade adapter to the engine

crankshaft. See Figure 6-5.

3. Remove blade and adapter from the crankshaft.

NOTE: When removing these items, a wave washer

may also come off with the adapter. Be sure to include

this washer when reassembling the blade adapter.

Failure to do so will result in the unit not being able to

change speeds.

4. The blade may be resharpened by removing it and

either grinding or filing the cutting edge keeping

as close to the original bevel as possible. Do not

attempt to sharpen the blade while it is still on the

mower.

5. It is extremely important that each cutting edge

receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an

unbalanced blade.

NOTE: Improper blade balance will result in excessive

vibration causing eventual damage to the engine and

mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade after sharp-

ening. Possible damage resulting from blade unbalance

condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

NOTE: Always remove blade from the adapter for testing

balance.

5. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it

on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the

heavy side until it balances evenly.

6 Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter

to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the

inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil.

7. Install the blade adapter on the crankshaft with the

“star” away from the engine. See Figure 6-5. Place

the blade with the side marked “bottom” (or with part

number) facing away from the adapter. Align the blade

bell support over the blade with the tabs in the holes

of the blade and insert the hex bolt.

8. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below:

Blade Mounting Torque

Center Bolt 450 in. lb. min., 600 in.lb. max.

To insure safe operation of your unit, ALL nuts and bolts

must be checked periodically for correct tightness.

Belt Care

NOTE: Several components must be removed in order

to change the mower’s belt. See an authorized dealer to

have your belt replaced.
