Responsibility Of The Owner
WARNING: This cutting 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 to
the operator or bystanders.
The responsibility of the owner is to
follow the instructions below.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
For Ride--On (Riding)
Rotary Mower Machines
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the mower.
Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occur-
ring to other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain pro-
fessional and practical instruction. Such
instruction should emphasize:
a. the need for care and concentration
when working with ride--on machines;
b. control of a ride--on machine sliding
on a slope will not be regained by the
application of the brake. The main
reasons for loss of control are:
x insufficient wheel grip;
x being driven too fast;
x inadequate braking
x the type of machine is unsuitable
for its task;
x lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially
slopes;
x incorrect hitching and load dis-
tribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all ob-
jects which may be thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING -- Petrol is highly flammable.
a. Store fuel in containers specifically de-
signed for this purpose.
b. Refuel outdoors only and do not
smoke while refuelling.
c. Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add petrol while the engine is run-
ning or when the engine is hot.
d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to
start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition
until petrol vapours have dissipated.
e. Replace all fuel tanks and container
caps securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see
that the blades, blade bolts and cutter as-
sembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
6. On multi--blade machines, take care as ro-
tating one blade can cause other blades to
rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial
light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, dis-
engage all blade attachment clutches and
shift into neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 de-
grees.
5. Remember there is no such thing as a
“safe” slope. Travel on grass slopes re-
quires particular care. To guard against
overturning:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when
going up or downhill;
b. engage clutch slowly, always keep
machine in gear, especially when tra-
velling downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low
on slopes and during tight turns;
d. stay alert for humps and hollows and
other hidden hazards;
e. never mow across the face of the
slope, unless the mower is designed
for this purpose.
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch
points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely
control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing.
d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel
weights when suggested in the In-
struction Book.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing
surfaces other than grass.
9. When using any attachments, never direct
discharge of material toward bystanders
nor allow anyone near the machine while in
operation.
10. Never operate the mower with defective
guards or shields, or without safety protec-
tive devices in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor set-
tings or overspeed the engine. Operating
an engine at excessive speed may in-
crease the hazard of personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position
a. disengage the power take--off and
lower the attachments;
b. change into neutral and set the park-
ing brake;
c. stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the
engine, and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) or remove the ignition key
a. before cleaning blockages or unclog-
ging chute;
b. before checking, cleaning or working
on the mower;
c. after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the mower for damage and make re-
pairs before restarting and operating
the equipment;
d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnor-
mally (check immediately).
14. Disengage drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to at-
tachment
a. before refuelling;
b. before removing the grass catcher;
c. before making height adjustment un-
less adjustment can be made from the
operator’s position.
16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine
run--out and, if the engine is provided with a
shut--off valve, turn the fuel off at the con-
clusion of mowing.
17. Before and when backing, look behind and
down for small children.
18. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that
may obscure vision.
Maintenance and Storage
1. On multi--blade machines, take care as ro-
tating one blade can cause other blades to
rotate.
2. When machine is to be parked, stored or
left unattended, lower the cutting means
unless a positive mechanical lock is used.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
4. Never store the equipment with petrol in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark.
5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or ex-
cessive grease.
7. Check the grass catcher frequently for
wear or deterioration.
8. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

4. Move the throttle control completely forward
to the CHOKE or FAST position. Some mo-
dels have a separate choke knob. Pull the
choke knob to the full CHOKE position.
5. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after
four or five tries, move the throttle control
to the FAST position. Again try to start the

Mowing And Bagging Tips
1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting
level of the mower housing. See “How To
Level The Mower Housing” in the Mainten-
ance section.
2. For the mower housing to cut level, make
sure the tyres have the correct amount of air
pressure.
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade.
If the blade is bent or damaged, immediately
replace the blade. Also, make sure the nut
for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades
will cause the ends of the grass to turn
brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet
grass will not discharge correctly. Let the
grass dry before cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower housing to trim
near an object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed
area. The result is a more even discharge of
cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning
to the right so that the cut grass will dis-
charge away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the op-
posite direction making left turns until fin-
ished.
9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to de-
crease the load on the engine. First cut with
the mower housing in the highest position
and then lower the mower housing for the
second cut.
10.For better engine performance and an even
discharge of the cut grass, always operate
the engine with the throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine
with the throttle in FAST position and the shift
lever in first or second gear.
12.For better cutting performance and a quality
cut, mow with the shift lever in one of the
slower speeds.
13.After each use, clean the bottom and top of
the mower housing for better performance.
Also, a clean mower housing will help pre-
vent a fire.
Mulching Tips
When you use a mulcher attachment, the grass
is cut into very small pieces. These small pieces
will quickly break down. Because the nutrients
are returned to the soil, the lawn will need less
fertilizer. To correctly mulch the grass, follow the
steps below.
1. Set the throttle in the FAST position. Operate
the mower at a slower ground speed. If
ground speed is too fast, the grass will not
haveanevencut.
2. Keep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that
is not sharp will cause the ends of the grass
to become brown.
3. Make sure the grass is dry. Wet grass is diffi-
cult to cut.
4. Set the height of the mower housing so that
only the top third of the grass is cut. If the
grass is too high, set the height of the mower
housing to the maximum height. Then, lower
the mower housing for the second cut. Also,
instead of using the full width of the mower
housing, mulch at half the width.
5. Clean the bottom of the mower housing.
Grass and other debris can keep the mower
from working correctly.
6. If the grass grows fast, mulch more often.
7. If an area needs improvement, mulch a sec-
ond time.

Inspect Blade (Figure 13)
WARNING: Before you inspect or
remove the blade, disconnect the
wire to the spark plug. If the blade
hits an object, stop the engine. Check the
unit for damage. The blade has sharp
edges. When you hold the blade, use
gloves or cloth material to protect your
hands.
If you keep the blade (1) sharp and inspect the
blade for damage, the blade will cut better and
be more safe to operate. Frequently check the
blade for excessive wear, cracks, or other dam-
age. Frequently check the nut (3) that holds the
blade (1). Keep the nut (3) tight. If the blade hits
an object, stop the engine. Disconnect the wire
to the spark plug. See if the blade is bent or
damaged. Check the blade adapter (5) for dam-
age. Before you operate the unit, replace dam-
aged parts with original equipment parts. See

A
BOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty
repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply to the
product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the war-
ranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified.
This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and
the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.
•N
ormal Wear: Small Engine Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.
•Installation: This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor
installations that prevent starting cause unsatisfactory engine performance.
•I
mproper Maintenance: The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended mainte-
nance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator’s Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty or dirty
conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering the prod-
uct because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replacement parts
that are not original manufactured part(s).
•I
ncorrect and/or Insufficient Fuel or Lubrication: This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasoline. Damage to
engine or engine components i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of alternate
fuels such as liquefied petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or broken because
product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due to lack of lubri-
cation are not covered.
•O
perational Misuse: Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator’s Manual. Product damaged by overspeeding, overheating, or operation
in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or unbalanced
blades, impellers, overspeeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, or im-
proper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the Operator’s Manual
are not covered.
•R
outine Tune-Up, Wear Items, or Adjustments: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.
•Other Exclusions: Repair or adjustments for part(s) that are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton Corporation, are not covered, see warranty for re-
spective manufacturers. This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other major forceful events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
Also excluded are used, reconditioned, and demonstration products.

POUR UNE UTILISATION EN
TOUTE SECURITE
Modèles de tondeusesà lames rotatives
Conseils préliminaires
1. Lisez les instructions très attentivement.
Familiarisez-vous avec les commandes et
l’utilisation appropriée de l’équipement.
2. Ne jamais laisser des enfants ou des per-
sonnes non familiarisées avec le produit utili-
ser la tondeuse. Des régulations
gouvernementales peuvent établir un âge
minimum.
3. Ne jamais tondre lorsque des personnes,
surtout des enfants, ou des animaux sont à
proximité.
4. Garder à l’esprit que l’opérateur ou l’utilisa-
teur est tenu responsable des risques ou
accidents arrivés aux autres personnes ou
à leurs biens.
5. Ne pas prendre de passagers.
6. Tous les conducteurs devraient recevoir
des conseils théoriques et pratiques. Ces
conseils sont :
a. la nécessité d’être soigneux et attentif
lors de la tonte sur tondeuse autoportée
b. la reprise de contrôle de la tondeuse
en pente est impossible par les freins.
La perte de contrôle s’explique de la
manière suivante :
x prise de la roue insuffisante;
x conduite trop rapide;
x freinage inadéquat
x le type de machine ne convenant
pas à la tâche;
x manque d’attention sur les
conséquences de tontes en pen-
te, en particulier;
x mauvais accrochage ou répartition
inégale de l’herbe dans le sac.
Préparation
1. Lors de la tonte, portez toujours des chaus-
sures qui vous apportent une protection
complète et des pantalons. Ne jamais tondre
pieds nus ou avec des sandales ouvertes.
2. Inspectez la zone à tondre et enlevez tous
les objets que la machine pourrait éjecter
sur son passage.
3. AVERTISSEMENT -- L’essence est haute-
ment inflammable.
a. Réserver du carburant dans des jerri-
canes prévues à cet effet.
b. Remplir de carburant uniquement à
l’air libre et ne pas fumer.
c. Ajouter du carburant avant de démar-
rer votre tondeuse autoportée. Ne ja-
mais enlever la protection du réservoir
ni même ajouter de carburant lorsque
le moteur est en marche ou chaud.
d. Si une fuite d’essence se produit, ne
pas tenter de démarrer la machine et
l’éloigner de la zone de fuite en ques-
tion : attendez que les vapeurs d’es -
sence se soient dissipées avant
d’utiliser la tondeuse.
e. Replacer correctement les bouchons
du réservoir et de la jerricane.
4. Changer les amortisseurs de bruit défec-
tueux.
5. Avant toute utilisation, s’assurer que les
lames, boulons de lames et positionnement
des lames ne soient pas usés ou endom-
magés. Remplacer les lames et boulons
usés ou endommagés en même temps afin
de respecter l’équilibre.
6. En ce qui concerne les tondeuses multi la-
mes, prendre garde lors de la rotation
d’une lame car celle-ci peut entraîner la ro-
tation des autres.
Utilisation
1. Ne pas utiliser mettre le moteur en route
dans un espace confiné où de dangereu-
ses vapeurs de monoxyde de carbone peu-
vent s’accumuler.
2. Tondre seulement durant la journée ou bien
sous un éclairage artificiel puissant.
3. Avant de démarrer la tondeuse autoportée,
désengager toutes les manettes de com-
mande de lames et se mettre au point mort.
4. Ne pas tondre sur une pente de plus de 10
degrés.
5. Garder à l’esprit que toute pente peut être
dangereuse. Le déplacement demande
une attention redoublée. Afin de prévenir
toute chute :
a. ne pas s’arrêter ou démarrer soudai-
nement lorsqu’on se trouve en pente
ascendante ou descendante;
b. enclencher l’embrayage lentement, en
veillant à ce que les vitesses de la ton-
deuse soient toujours engagées, sur-
tout lors des déplacements en
descente;
c. la vitesse devrait être réduite dans les
pentes et dans les virages serrés;
d. prêter attention aux bosses, aux creux
et autres dangers occultés;
e. ne jamais tondre en diagonal de la
pente, sauf si la tondeuse est conçue
à cet effet.
6. Soyez attentif lorsque vous tirez du maté-
riel ou tout autre équipement lourd.
a. Utiliser seulement des barres de trac-
tion approuvées.
b. Limitez les chargements à ceux que
vous pouvez contrôler sans aucun
risque.
c. Ne pas faire de virages secs. Tourner
avec précaution.
d. Utiliser des contrepoids ou des lests
de roues comme suggéré dans le ma-
nuel de l’utilisateur.
7. Prenez garde au trafic lorsque vous devez
traverser la chaussée ou lorsque vous en
êtes prêt.
8. Arrêtez la rotation des lames avant de tra-
verser une zone non recouverte de pelouse.
9. Lors de l’utilisation d’attaches, ne jamais
diriger la décharge de matériel vers les per-
sonnes à proximité et n’autoriser personne
à s’approcher de la tondeuse en marche.
10. Ne jamais faire marcher la tondeuse avec
des éléments de protection défectueux, ou
sans aucun dispositif de sécurité

chine de toute obstruction ;
b. avant d’inspecter, nettoyer, ou travail-
ler sur la tondeuse ;
c. après avoir touché un objet. Inspecter
la tondeuse et effectuer les répara -
tions nécessaires avant de redémarrer
la machine ;
d. si la machine commence à vibrer de
façon anormale (vérifier dans l’instant).
14. Désengager la courroie du bloc accessoire
lors de son transport ou lorsqu’elle n’est
pas utilisée.
15. Couper le moteur et désengager la courroie
du bloc accessoire
a. avant de remettre du carburant;
b. avant d’enlever le receveur à herbe;
c. avant de régler la hauteur, à moins que
ce réglage ne puisse se faire assis.
16. Réduire le réglage de l’accélérateur au point
mort et, si la tondeuse est fournie avec une
valve de coupure d’alimentation, couper l’ali-
mentation en carburant après la tonte.
17. Avant et lors du recul, regarder derrière et
dessous afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas
de jeunes enfants autour.
18. Redoubler d’attention à l’approche de coins
aveugles, de buissons, arbres ou autres
objets qui peuvent obstruer la visibilité.
Maintenance et entreposage
1. En ce qui concerne les tondeuses multi la-
mes, prendre garde lors de la rotation
d’une lame car celle-ci peut entraîner la ro-
tation des autres.
2. Quand la tondeuse doit être mise en sta-
tionnement, rangée ou laissée pour un mo-
ment plus ou moins long, rabaisser les
dispositifs de tonte à moins qu’un verrouil-
lage mécanique ne soit mis en place.
3. S’assurer que les écrous, les boulons et les
vis soient bien serrés pour que la tondeuse
soit dans de bonnes conditions d’utilisation.
4. Ne jamais garder la tondeuse avec du car-
burant dans le réservoir à l’intérieur d’un
bâtiment où des émanations peuvent at-
teindre une flamme nue ou une étincelle.
5. Laisser la tondeuse refroidir avant de la
ranger dans une enceinte.
6. Afin de limiter tout risque de feu, s’assurer
que le moteur, l’amortisseur de bruit, le com-
partiment de batterie et la zone de réserve
de carburant soient débarrassés d’herbe, de
feuilles ou de graisse excessive.
7. Vérifier fréquemment que le receveur d’her-
be ne soit pas usé ou détérioré.
8. Remplacer les pièces usées ou défectueu-
ses.
9. Si le réservoir doit être vidé, ceci doit être
fait au dehors.
