2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety is the primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products.
Unfortunately our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and
operating instructions in the manual and to follow these.
Allow only properly trained personnel to operate the mower. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, the engine manual and the
manual for your tractor, before assembly or operation, to acquaint yourself with the
machines. It is the mower owner’s responsibility, if this machine is used by any person
other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to
operating, reads and understands the operator’s manuals and is instructed in safe and
proper use.

3 - OPERATION
You have purchased an engine three spindle grooming mower designed primarily for
mowing of grassy areas using an ATV (all terrain vehicle) or a garden tractor. It attaches
to the towing vehicle drawbar using a category 1 ball hitch and pin.
This mower is perfect for the maintenance of parks, private lawns, industrial parks,
airports, hospital grounds, schools, highways, golf courses, sport complexes, etc. The
C30-CE5 is equipped with a powerful 10.5 HP Briggs & Stratton I/C engine with
centrifugal clutch. It has a working width of 5’.
The mower is powered by a vertical shaft gasoline engine. The centrifugal clutch is
attached to the vertical shaft of the engine which, via high resistance belts, transmits
power to pulleys coupled to the three individual spindle shafts. Blades are secured to
these shafts which turn at a high blade tip speed to cut the grass.
Our C30-CE5 grooming mower comes equipped with 4 wheels. Aside from regulating
the cutting height, the wheels are set in such a way as to allow the mower to follow the
contour of the terrain and give a precise level cut even in undulating conditions.
3.01 - Operational Safety
CAUTION: Our mowers are designed considering safety as the most important
aspect and are the safest available in today’s market. Unfortunately, human
carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines. Injury
prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our mowers, are very
much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
1. The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be prevented
by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read
and understand this entire manual and the engine manual, paying particular
attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the towing vehicle and mower when you are tired, sick or when using
medication.
3. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least 300 feet from a rotary mower. Only properly
trained people should operate this machine.
4. The majority of accidents involve injury of bystanders by objects thrown by the
rotating blades, and operators being knocked off the towing vehicle by low hanging
limbs and then being run over by the mower. Accidents are most likely to occur with
machines that are loaned or rented to someone who has not read the operator’s
manual and is not familiar with a rotary mower.

5. Test the safety kill switch on the mower to ensure that the mower will cut off when
key is removed.
6. Before operating, attach the kill switch rope to the operator’s belt strap and to the
towing vehicle on the front of operator’s seat.
7. Always stop the towing vehicle, set brake, shut off both the mower engine and the
towing vehicle engine, remove the ignition key and allow mower blades to come to a
complete stop before dismounting towing vehicle. Never leave equipment
unattended with the towing vehicle running.
8. Never place hands or feet under mower with engine running or before you are sure
all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
9. Do not allow riders on the mower or towing vehicle at any time. There is no safe
place for riders.
10.Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock and pets are at least 300 feet away to
prevent injury by thrown objects.
11.Before backing up, turn off mower engine and look behind carefully.
12.Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating.
13.Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
14.This rotary mower is designed for use with all terrain vehicles (ATVs) or garden
tractors.
15.Never operate towing vehicle and mower under trees with low hanging limbs.
Operators can be knocked off the towing vehicle and then run over by the rotating
blades.
16. The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guard
rails and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be
thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage,
serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such
obstacles.
17.Frequently check mower blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and
securely fastened.
18. Stop mower immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn mower engine off, turn
towing vehicle engine off, remove key, disconnect spark plug wire, set towing vehicle
brake and wait for all movement to stop. Inspect and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
19. Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep
away from drop-offs.
20.Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on
hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful
when turning sharp corners.
21. Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be
careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes.
Avoid operation on steep slopes.
22.When making tight turns, do not allow pull hitch to ride up on towing vehicle tires.
23. Inspect the entire machine periodically2. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken
parts, and leaky or loose fittings.

24. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up”
towing vehicle and mower.
25.Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.
26. Always cut down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control.
3.02 - Set Up
Notice to dealer: Pre-delivery setup and service including lubrication is the
responsibility of the authorized dealer. It is up to him to assure that the machine is in
perfect condition and ready to be used. It is his responsibility to ensure that the
customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational procedures for the mower and
the engine. He must also fill out the Pre-Delivery Checklist3 prior to delivering the
mower.
CAUTION: Stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient
tension to cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, they
often have extremely sharp edges and cut very easily.
3.03 - Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from moving blades.
Be sure both towing vehicle engine and mower engine are off, spark plug wire is
disconnected, parking brake is locked, and key is removed before making any
adjustments.
Before working under mower install blocks or stands under the deck to prevent it
from falling.
The cutting height is the distance from the blades to the ground. The cutting height is
adjusted by moving the spacers on the wheel yokes. Placing spacers between the
wheel arm and the wheel yoke raises the cutting height by the size of the spacer.
Removing the spacers lowers it by the same height (see fig. 3).
Be sure all wheel arms are adjusted equally. This is the only way to ensure a completely
uniform cut. The cutting height is adjustable from 1” to 4”. Cutting lower than 2”
under most circumstances should be avoided.
IMPORTANT: Very low cutting heights should be avoided. Damaging shock loads
occur when the blades strike the ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to
the mower.

To start mower engine do the following:
1. Install the kill switch plug.
2. Open the fuel valve.
3. Push throttle in the “CHOKE” position. If the engine is warm, place the throttle in
“SLOW” position.
4. Place one foot on the mower deck and one foot firmly anchored on ground. Make
sure foot on ground does not get underneath mower. Pull starter cord briskly
returning slowly until engine starts.
5. When engine cranks, slow to idle and allow the engine to warm up for several
minutes. When engine is warm adjust throttle to desired speed.
NOTE: If engine is hard to crank consult the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual.
DANGER: Keep hands and feet away from underneath the mower. When starting
the engine place one foot on the mower deck and one foot firmly anchored to the
ground safely away from underneath the mower deck.
To start cutting ensure that:
1. The kill switch tether cord is connected from the switch through the operator’s belt
loop to towing vehicle forward of operator’s seat.
2. Parking brake is released.
3. The lowest gear is selected in order to begin cutting at a slow speed. Adjust speed
gradually in relation to the condition of the ground.
DANGER: Ensure that the safety kill switch is working properly. Test to make
sure that the mower will cut off when the switch is removed. Never operate the
mower without the safety kill switch properly attached. Failure to do so could
cause serious injury or death.
To shut down mower engine do the following:
1. Idle the engine down.
2. Set parking brake.
3. Pull out kill switch plug.
4. Stop the engine of the towing vehicle.
5. Close fuel valve.
6. Allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting.
The mowing speed depends on ground conditions, mowing height, and grass thickness.
Only a test run will enable you to gauge the optimal working speed for your conditions.
OPERATION 14 BEFCO
3.07 - Working Speed
YCLONE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
C
Under most conditions a 3 to 5 mph ground speed is best. As a rule of thumb, and if the
conditions permit, grass dispersion is increased by higher ground speeds.
The mulching kit is an option available for our mowers. This kit, containing 3 multilevel
cutting edge blades and add-on containment baffling which bolts to the underside of the
mower deck, mulches and pulverizes grass and leaves.
Another benefit of the mulching kit is safety. In fact, the kit greatly reduces the possibility
of thrown objects. This is particularly important when mowing around schools, public
parks and golf courses.
If you are using a mulching kit, you need to reduce your ground speed to under 2 mph
(see fig. 4).
Fig. 4
The mulching kit is an
available option,
consisting in 3

3.08 - Operating Techniques
All of the following factors are important in selecting the proper forward speed:
1. Height of grass.
2. Type of grass.
3. Density of grass.
4. Type of terrain.
5. Grass condition, wet or dry.
This mower has been designed to cut grass with heights from 4” to 8”. It is
recommended to avoid cutting grass taller than 10”. For the best results, try cutting the
grass at least once per week during growing season. Tall, dense grass should be cut at
OPERATION 15 BEFCO
YCLONE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
C
low speed, while thin medium grass can be cut at a faster ground speed. For cleaner
cuts and efficient mowing, the blades must be kept sharp7.
Under certain conditions, towing vehicle tires may roll some grass down and prevent it
from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. If this occurs reduce the
towing vehicle ground speed. The lower ground speed will permit the grass to at least
partially rebound. Under some conditions grass will not rebound enough to be cut
evenly, resulting in an uneven appearance. In general, lower cutting height gives a more
even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. If cut is still not satisfactory, cut the area
twice.
Mow extremely tall grass twice. On the first pass use a high cutting height. On the
second pass position the mower at the desired height and, when practical, mow at a
right angle in travel to the first pass.
It is better to cut grass more often, than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot
weather and invites weed growth during growing season.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. The rear tires of the
mower are locked in the running position to help stabilize the mower on inclines.
DANGER: The mower blades can throw objects hundreds of feet which could
result in personal or property damage.
Pick up all rocks and other debris before mowing.
Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass higher at first, allowing mower to clear
hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the towing vehicle and
mower quickly. Stop mower engine, stop towing vehicle engine, lock parking
brake and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before
dismounting the tractor.
3.09 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating towing vehicle and mower over
uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
7
OPERATION 16 BEFCO
See Sharpening Blades in section 4.03 - Blade Maintenance.
YCLONE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
C
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain without
attaching the mower.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the mower while cutting.
8. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
3.10 - Transport
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.

In order for the mower to work properly and to always obtain a precision cut, proper
blade maintenance is important.
Blades must be kept sharp, at their original length and corners maintained. A blade
must be replaced if, due to wear or damage, its original shape has been distorted.
Installing or removing blades
If the mower blades need to be installed, do the following:

YCLONE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
C
1. The blade turns in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the bottom of
the deck. The cutting edge must be towards the direction of rotation. The lift wing of
the blades is closest to the deck and the cutting edge away from it (see fig. 7).
2. Install the cup washer (see fig. 7) over the blade bolt and secure the blade in place
as described above.
3. With a wrench, block the spindle and tighten the bolt to 103 lb.ft. (see fig. 8).
4. To remove the blades reverse the procedure.

DANGER: Proper torque must be used when tightening the blade retaining bolt. If
these safety precautions are not followed, the blade could come off during
operation and be thrown hundreds of feet from the mower.
Sharpening Blades
Blade sharpening is extremely important in order to get the best cutting results. Sharp
blades permit a high quality cut.
To sharpen blades, first remove them following the above instructions.
Place the blade in a vise and sharpen them by using a hand file or grinder. Do not
sharpen the blades to a sharp cutting edge. The cutting edge should be between 1/64”
to 1/32” to prevent excessive pitting and dulling of the blades. Sharpen both ends of the
blade equally for balance and always maintain corners. Always keep all three blades
sharpened equally in order to maintain balance.
CAUTION: Unbalanced or warped blades can cause damage to the mower and/or
personal injury. Replace damaged blades before operating the mower. Sharpen
both ends of the mower blades equally or until the blade is balanced.
The C30-CE5 mower is equipped with two belts, a main drive belt that runs from the
centrifugal clutch to the center spindle pulley and a secondary belt that runs between
the 3 pulleys.

4.04 - Belt Tension
YCLONE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
C
Belt tension control
1. Check the main drive belt by applying a force of 3-4 lb. pushing against the belt
halfway between the centrifugal clutch and the center spindle pulley. The belt
1
deflection should be between
/8”-1/4”.
2. Check the secondary belt tension by applying a force of 12-15 lb. pushing against
the belt halfway between the pulleys. The belt deflection should be between
5
/16”-3/8”.
Belt tension adjustment
1
1. If the main drive belt deflects more than
/4”, tighten the belt by loosening the four
engine nuts and turning the adjustment bolt clockwise until the belt is within the
specified range. Then re-tighten the four engine nuts.
2. The secondary belt has an automatic belt tensioner. The tension is created by a
spring connecting a tensioner pulley to a fixed hitch plate with 3 positions (see fig.
9). Upon delivery, the spring is located in the first position. When the belt stretches
after use, adjust the tension by relocating the spring in the other two holes. If the belt
has stretched to the point that the belt is not tight enough even in the last hole, then
it is necessary to replace the belt.

If the belts have stretched or damaged to the point where the proper tension cannot be
obtained they must be changed.
To replace the belts (see #4 & 8, fig. 10) do the following:
1. Remove belt shield. Clean foreign material from the mower deck and belt area.
2. Loosen the four engine nuts.
3. Loosen the belt tensioner bolt.
4. Loosen rear nuts holding central plate (do not remove them).
