Items 117, 119 and 141 secure both front skid attachment and sides of front guard bar. Make
sure both are securely attached.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your BILLY GOAT ® BC Self-Propelled Brush Cutter was shipped in one carton, completely assembled except for the upper
handle assembly and the front guard bar. Mounting hardware for the handle and guard bar is temporarily installed on the
lower handle and the front of the deck assembly.
1. Remove unit from carton. Make sure the following items that have been packed with unit:
Upper Handle Assembly, P/N 500256
Guard Bar, P/N 500356
Bar Skids, P/N 500355

4. Attach the shifter tube (item 22) with the hardware (100 and 202). Make sure the shifter moves freely.
5. Place a wood block under the deck and attach the skids (155) using the hardware (119, 141, and 117). Use the bottom
two holes on the longer end to attach to the front of the deck. The bolts should run from the inside out.
Warning: When attaching the Skids be careful of the blade. Wear thick gloves and
check the position of the blade before putting your hands into the deck to install
the bolts though the Skids.
9. Attach guard bar (31) to Skids by installing with the hardware (33, 141, and 117) into the top two holes on the skids.
10. For electric start models secure the battery in the battery plate (164), hook one side of the strap into the hole then
stretch the strap across the top of the battery and hook the opposite side into the opposing hole on the plate. Make sure
the battery will not move then connect terminals.
11. Reconnect spark plug wire.

OPERATION
OPERATOR CONTROLS
The operator’s station is at the rear of the machine between the handlebars. The operator should STAND in a position to
allow both handlebars to be grasped firmly and which allows sufficient leverage to steer the machine. Operator’s controls are
shown below.

CUTTING
The best performance is achieved when cutting in dry conditions. The quality of the cut is directly related to ground speed
during cutting. Under most conditions cutting should be done in first or second gear. Third gear should be reserved for
conditions where weeds and brush are thinned out or not very tall. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory, shift into a lower
gear.
1. Move shift lever to correct position (1, 2, 3 or Reverse) for desired gear.

Page 20
BC2403 Series Brush Cutter Owner’s Manual
Battery Care (For Electric-Starting Models)
Proper care can extend the life of a battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your battery’s
best performance and long life:
• Do not allow the battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the battery every 4
– 6 weeks. Operate the engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge.
• Store an unused battery in a dry area that does not freeze.
• Do not charge an already charged battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our battery with a trickle
charger; however, when a battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that
could be harmful to the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.
• Do not continue to crank your engine when the battery charge is low.
Charging the Battery
Operate the engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge. If the battery loses its
charge, you will need to use a trickle charger to recharge it. Caution: The charger should have an
output of 12 volts at no more than 2 amps. Using a charger with higher amps will cause significant
damage to the battery.
• At 1 amp, the battery may need charging for as long as 48 hours.
• At 2 amps, the battery may need charging for as long as 24 hours.
NOTE: Using the Recoil Starter and then running the engine will not recharge a dead or significantly
discharged battery.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED CHARGING THE BATTERY, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM
THE OUTLET FIRST, THEN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES FROM THE
BATTERY. IF YOU LEAVE THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY,
THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF BACK INTO THE CHARGER.
