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)

Use this page as a guide to determine slopes where you may not operate safely. Do not operate

your lawn mower on such slopes.

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.

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.

REASSEMBLY

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).

NOTE: If unit is tipped for easier access to

blade or belt, 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.

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

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 6-2.

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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Cutting grass in sandy

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 6-2. 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

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.

Off-Season Storage

The following steps should be taken to prepare

your lawn mower for storage.

1. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as

described in the lubrication instructions.

2. We do not recommend the use of a pressure

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

equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the

equipment, especially cables and all moving

parts of your lawn mower before storage.

sérieuses blessures à

l’utilisateur.

Figure 6-2

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 6-2.

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

Le fait de couper

l’herbe sur un sol

sablonneux provoque

l’usure de la lame par

abrasion.

Figure 6-2. Placez la lame, le côté sur lequel

la mention «Bottom» (ou le numéro de pièce)

apparaît, à l’opposé de l’adaptateur. Alignez

le support de la lame sur celle-ci en enfon-

çant les pattes dans les trous de la lame, puis

insérez le boulon hex.

10. Serrez le boulon hex. au couple recom-

mandé ci-dessous:

Couple de montage de la lame

Boulon centrale 450 po-lb min., 600 po-lb max.

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.
