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

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 machine and in the
manual(s) before operation. Be completely familiar with
the controls and the proper use of this machine before
operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future
and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.
2. This machine is a precision piece of power equipment,
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.
3. 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 parent. Only responsible
individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use this machine.
4. 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. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands
and feet.
9. A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade
contact or thrown object injuries.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
13. Do not engage the self-propelled mechanism on units so
equipped while starting engine.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Walk, never
run. Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or
roads.
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do
not touch.
21. Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by
the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.
22. 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.
WARNING: Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or
emit chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.

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.
2. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
3. Use only an approved gasoline container.
4. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
8. Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors
will accumulate in the area.
9. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is
hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes
before refueling.
10. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch
below bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.
11. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
12. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
13. Never store the machine or fuel container near an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
14. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves,
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel soaked debris.
15. Allow a mower to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
General Service:
1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly gas.
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
3. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade
for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, worn) Replace blade with
the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) blade only,
listed in this manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!”
4. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or
wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
5. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
6. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
7. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, discon
-
nect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the
damage before starting and operating the mower.
8. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height adjust
-
ment while the engine is running.
9. Grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail
shield are subject to wear and damage which could
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For
safety protection, frequently check components and re
-
place immediately with original equipment manufacturer’s
(O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment specifications
may lead to improper performance and compromise
safety!”
10. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed
the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine.
11. Maintain or replace safety labels, as necessary.
12. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper
disposal of fluids and materials can harm the environment.

ment is unattended.
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects which could damage the lawn
mower or the engine. Such objects could be
accidently thrown by the mower in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the opera-
tor and others.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign
object, stop the engine. Remove
wire from the spark plug, thor
-
oughly inspect the mower for any
damage, and repair the damage
before restarting and operating
the mower. Extensive vibration
of the mower during operation is
an indication of damage. The unit
should be promptly inspected
and repaired.
Operating Tips
1. For best results and effective mulching, do
not cut wet grass.
2. New grass, thick grass, or wet grass may
require a narrower cut.
3. For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than
one-third of the total length of the grass.
4. Your lawn should be cut in the fall as long as
there
is growth.
5. Adjust ground speed according to condition
of lawn.
6. If the grass has been allowed to grow in
excess of 4 inches, mulching is not recom
-
mended. Mow using the side discharge to
reduce the grass height to 3-1/4 inches or
less before mulching.

WARNING
Always stop engine,
disconnect spark
plug, and ground
against engine before
cleaning, lubricating
or doing any kind of
maintenance on your
machine.
Figure 10
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 fasteners 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 10.
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
periodically with light oil to prevent rust. See
Figure 10.
4. Follow the accompanying engine manual for
lubrication schedule and instruction.
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 indi
-
cates 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 recommended at the start of each mowing
season; check engine manual for correct plug
type and gap specifications.
NOTE: This spark ignition system meets all
requirements of the Canadian Interference-
Causing Equipment Regulations.
5. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or
brush. Keep the cooling system (blower hous
-
ing 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.
Deck
The underside of the mower deck should be
cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of
grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this
debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust
and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower
and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make
certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
We do not recommend
the use of pressure
washers or garden
hose to clean your
unit. These may cause
damage to electrical
components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings, or
the engine. The use
of water will result in
shortened life and
reduce serviceability.

Blade Care
WARNING: When removing the
cutting blade for sharpening or
replacement, protect your hands
with a pair of heavy gloves or use
a heavy rag to hold the blade.
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 wire from spark plug.
2. Tip mower as specified in separate engine
manual. If it does not specify turn mower on
its side making sure that the air filter and the
carburetor are up.
3. Remove the bolt and the blade bell support
which hold the blade and the blade adapter
to the engine crankshaft. See Figure 11.
4. Remove blade and adapter from the crank
-
shaft.
5. 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.
6. 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 bal
-
ance blade after sharpening. Possible damage
resulting from blade unbalance condition is not
the responsibility of the manufacturer.
NOTE: Always remove blade from the adapter
for testing balance.

soil condition causes
abrasive wear to the
blade.
9. Install the blade adapter on the crankshaft
with the “star” away from the engine. See
Figure 11. 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.
10. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed

washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
3. Refer to engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
4. Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis
grease to prevent rusting.
5. Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not
store next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equip
-
ment in a poorly ventilated or metal storage
shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the

-
tant pour l’aiguiser ou
la remplacer.
Si la lame est

sérieuses blessures à
l’utilisateur.
Figure 11
Entretien et remplacement de la lame
AVERTISSEMENT: Portez tou
-
jours des gants épais ou utilisez
un chiffon épais pour manipuler
la lame en la démontant pour
l’aiguiser ou la remplacer.
Examinez périodiquement l’adaptateur de lame
pour y détecter tout fendillement éventuel, sur-
tout après avoir heurté un objet. Remplacez-le
au besoin. Procédez comme suit pour l’entretien
de la lame:
1. Débranchez toujours le fil de la bougie.
2. Basculez la tondeuse selon les instructions
dans la notice d’utilisation. S’il n’y a pas
d’instructions spécifiques, basculez la
tondeuse avec le filtre à air et le carburateur
sur le haut.
3. Enlevez le boulon et le support de la lame
qui maintiennent la lame et l’adaptateur sur le
vilebrequin. Voir la Figure 11.
4. Dégagez la lame et l’adaptateur du vilebre
-
quin.
5. Pour l’affûter à nouveau, démontez-la puis
meulez ou limez les bords tranchants en
maintenant l’angle aussi près que possible du
biseau original. N’essayez pas d’aiguiser la
lame encore installée sur la tondeuse.
6. Il est essentiel que chaque tranchant soit
affûté également pour ne pas avoir une lame
déséquilibrée.
REMARQUE: Une lame déséquilibrée cause
des vibrations qui peuvent endommager le
moteur et la tondeuse. Assurez-vous de bien
rééquilibrer la lame après l’avoir aiguisée. Le
fabricant de la tondeuse ne peut être tenu
responsable des dégâts causés par le mauvais
équilibre de la lame.
REMARQUE: Démontez toujours la lame de
son adaptateur pour vérifiez son bon équilibre.
7. Vous pouvez vérifier l’équilibre de la lame
en la plaçant sur un tournevis à tige ronde.
Limez le métal du côté le plus lourd jusqu’à
ce que la lame soit parfaitement équilibrée.
8. Avant de remonter la lame et son adaptateur
sur la tondeuse, lubrifiez le vilebrequin et la
surface intérieure de l’adaptateur avec une
huile légère.
9. Placez l’adaptateur de la lame sur le vilebre
-
quin, «l’étoile» à l’opposé du moteur. Voir la

Vérifiez périodiquement que TOUS les écrous et
boulons de la machine sont bien serrés.
Remisage hors saison
Procédez de la manière suivante pour préparer
votre tondeuse pour un entreposage prolongé.
1. Nettoyez et lubrifiez soigneusement la
tondeuse selon les instructions de lubrifica
-
tion.
2. L’utilisation d’un nettoyeur sous pression
ou d’un boyau d’arrosage pour nettoyer la
tondeuse est déconseillée.
3. Consultez la notice d’utilisation du moteur
quant aux instructions d’entreposage du
moteur.
4. Enduisez la lame de la tondeuse d’une
graisse à châssis pour l’empêcher de rouiller.
5. Entreposez la tondeuse dans un endroit sec
et propre. Ne la remisez pas près de produits
corrosifs, comme des engraise.
REMARQUE: Il est très important de bien
protéger le matériel contre la rouille s’il doit être
entreposé dans un abri métallique non ventilé.
Enduisez toute la machine, en particulier les
câbles et toutes les pièces mobiles, avec une
huile légère ou de la silicone.

Entretien
Arrêtez toujours le
moteur et débranchez
le fil de la bougie et
mettez-le à la masse
contre le moteur
avant tout nettoyage,
toute lubrification ou
autre entretien sur la
machine.
L’utilisation d’un
nettoyeur pressurisé ou
d’un boyau d’arrosage
pour nettoyer la
tondeuse est décon
-
seillée. Cela risque en
effet d’endommager les
composants élec-
triques, les fusées, les
poulies, les roulements
ou le moteur. L’emploi
d’eau a tendance à
raccourcir la vie de la
tondeuse et à limiter sa
facilité d’entretien.
Figure 10
Recommandations d’ordre général
1. Suivez toujours les consignes de sécurité
lors de tout entretien.
2. La garantie de cette tondeuse ne s’applique
pas à toute pièce qui a fait l’objet d’un emploi
abusif ou d’une négligence. Pour bénéficier
au maximum de la garantie, l’utilisateur doit
entretenir la tondeuse conformément aux
instructions de cette notice.
3. La garantie sera nulle et non avenue si une
modification est apportée au régulateur du
moteur.
4. Vérifiez tous les réglages au moins une fois
par saison.
5. Vérifez régulièrement que toute la boulon
-
nerie est bien serrée.
Lubrification
1. Lubrifiez les points de pivot de la poignée de
commande de la lame au moins une fois par
saison avec une huile légère. La commande
de la lame doit fonctionner facilement dans
les deux sens. Voir la Figure 10.
2. Lubrifiez les roulements à billes des roues
au moins une fois par saison avec de l’huile
fluide, tous les autres genres n’ont pas
be soin d’être lubrifiées. Toutefois, si elles
doivent être démontées pour une raison
quelconque, lubrifiez la surface du boulon
d’essieu et la surface intérieure de la roue
avec une huile automobile légère.
AVERTISSEMENT
3. Le ressort de torsion et le point de pivotement
doivent être lubrifiés régulièrement avec une
huile légère pour empêcher la rouille. Voir la
Figure 10.
4. Consultez la notice d’utilisation du moteur pour
les instructions de lubrification.
Moteur
1. Consultez la notice d’utilisation du moteur pour
tout ce qui concerne l’entretien du moteur.
2. Utilisez l’huile à moteur recommandée dans la
notice d’utilisation du moteur fournie avec la
tondeuse. Lisez attentivement les instructions
et suivez-les.
3. Dans des conditions normales nettoyez le filtre
à air recommandée dans la notice d’utilisation
du moteur fournie avec la tondeuse. Nettoyez-
le à intervalles plus rapprochés dans des
conditions très poussiéreuses. Une mauvaise
performance du moteur et sa «noyade» sont
des indications que le filtre à air doit être
nettoyé.
4. Nettoyez la bougie et ajustez l’écartement
une fois par saison. Il est recommandé de
remplacer la bougie au début de chaque
saison. Vérifiez le type de bougie à utiliser et
l’écartement correct dans la notice d’utilisation
du moteur.
REMARQUE: Ce système d’allumage par étince-
lle de véhicule respecte toutes les exigences du
Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
5. Nettoyez le moteur régulièrement avec un
linge ou une brosse. Gardez le système de
refroidissement (à proximité du ventilateur)
propre pour assurer la bonne circulation d’air
essentielle aux bonnes performances et à la
longévité du moteur. Enlevez tous les brins
d’herbe, la saleté et autres débris combus-
tibles se trouvant à proximité du silencieux.
Plateau de coupe
Nettoyez le dessous du plateau de coupe après
chaque utilisation pour empêcher les brins
d’herbe, les feuilles ou la saleté de s’y accumuler.
Toute accumulation favorise la rouille et la corro
-
sion et peut empêcher le déchiquetage efficace.
Inclinez la tondeuse et grattez le dessous du
plateau de coupe avec un outil approprié (après
avoir vérifié que la bougie est débranchée) pour
nettoyer le plateau de coupe.

�
Utilisation
AVERTISSEMENT
AVERTISSEMENT: Arrêtez le
moteur si vous heurtez un objet
quelconque. Débranchez le fil de
la bougie, cherchez soigneuse-
ment tout signe de dégât à la
tondeuse et réparez-la avant de
la remettre en marche et de vous
en servir. Des vibrations impor
-
tantes de la tondeuse indiquent
des dégâts. Faites examiner et
réparer la machine rapidement.
Conseils d’utilisation
1. Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats et déchi
-
queter efficacement, ne coupez pas l’herbe
mouillée.
2. Une tonte plus étroite peut être nécessaire si
l’herbe est nouvelle, drue ou humide.
3. Votre pelouse sera plus saine si vous ne
tondez jamais plus d’un tiers de la longueur
totale des brins d’herbe.
4. Continuez à tondre la pelouse à l’automne
jusqu’à ce qu’elle cesse de pousser.
5. Ajustez la vitesse de déplacement en fonction
des conditions de travail.
6. Si l’herbe a été permis de pousser en excès
de 4 pouces, le déchiquetage est déconseillé.
Utilisez d’abord le déflecteur de la goulotte
latéral pour réduire la hauteur de l’herbe à
3-1/4 pouces ou moins, avant de déchiqueter
l’herbe.
3. Prenez la poignée du démarreur à lanceur de
la façon illustrée et tirez-la lentement jusqu’à
ce que vous sentiez une légère résistance.
Tirez alors rapidement pour faire démarrer
le moteur et pour éviter le recul. Laissez la
poignée revenir lentement jusqu’au boulon de
guidage de la corde.
Arrêt du moteur
1. Lâchez la poignée de commande de la lame
pour arrêter le moteur et la lame.
AVERTISSEMENT: La lame
continue à tourner pendant
quelques secondes après que le
moteur s’est éteint.
2. Débranchez le fil de la bougie et mettez-le
à la masse contre le moteur pour empêcher
tout démarrage accidentel lorsque la ma-
chine n’est pas surveillée.
Utilisation de la tondeuse
Vérifiez qu’il n’y a plus de pierres, de morceaux
de bois, de fils métalliques ou autres objets sur
la pelouse, qui risquent d’endommager la ton-
deuse ou le moteur. Ces objets pourraient être
projetés par la tondeuse dans une direction ou
une autre et blesser grièvement le conducteur
ou toute autre personne présente.
