OPERATION

INTENDED USE: This unit is mainly designed for cutting

grass. Some o v erg rown w eeds , and taller gr ass ma y also be cut. Be sure to inspect work area and machine bef ore operating. Mak e sure that all oper ators of this equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine. Do not operate unit

in areas where bystanders may be present.

Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs.

If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for damaged or worn blade, loose blade jam nut, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See maintenance section for proper blade jam nut torque speciﬁ cations.

16.1

STARTING

PUT OIL IN ENGINE THEN CHECK THE LEVEL BEFORE STARTING.

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions

for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must be level when checking and ﬁ lling

oil and gasoline. ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the

control console plate. FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when

provided on engine). CHOKE: Operated with the throttle control b y mo ving the

throttle control to the full start position. THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.

Pull starting rope to start engine. ELECTRIC START: Choke the engine if necessary. Pull

up then push forward on the toggle switch until engine starts, then release switch to run.

1. Select desired cutting height before starting engine.

2. Place mower on a sidewalk or driveway where the mower blade is in an unloaded condition. If it must be started on the lawn, move mower over previously cut grass.

3. Be sure drive lever or blade lever are not engaged.

4. Choke if necessary.

5. Pull back on starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to start. Repeat if necessary.

16.2

CUTTING OPERATION

CAUTION: Stop Blade when crossing gravel drives,

walks or roads and under all conditions where thrown objects might be a hazard.

CLEARING A CLOGGED CUTTING DECK: Tu rn engine off and wait for blade to stop completely. Disconnect spark plug wire.

Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug wire.

GENERAL OPERATION: To engage the blade, depress the operator’s left hand control lever against operator’s handle. The blade is disengaged by releasing this lever.(See Fig. 1.1) To engage the wheel drive, lift the operator’s right hand control lever against operator’s handle. The drive is disengaged by releasing this lever.(See Fig. 1.2) Ground speed can be varied by shifting gears as described on page 8. To begin cutting, engage the blade lever, allow the blade to spin up to speed, and engage the wheel drive to begin moving forward into the material to be cut. NOTE: Do not engage blade during transport between work sites. The blade should remain disengaged at all times when work is not being performed. The best performance is achieved when cutting in dry conditions. If the deck becomes choked with grass or debris during operation, back unit off of debris allowing machine to clear itself and continue cutting, or shut the unit off and clear the clog by hand (See above). A drop in engine RPM or a noticeable change in engine sound is usually a good indicator of a clogged discharge or other interference. Under most conditions cutting should be done in second or third gear. Fourth gear should be reserved for conditions where grass is thinned out or not as tall. The quality of the cut produced is directly related to the unit's ground speed during cutting. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory (i.e. material left standing) you should shift into a lower gear during cutting. For improved control in conﬁ ned areas, this machine can be pushed forward or backward by releasing the drive lever located at the bottom of the operator's right-hand handle while depressing the brake release lever.

STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly

ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open ﬂ ame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all

gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. Dr ain fuel outdoors, into an approv ed container, aw ay from open ﬂ ame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Alwa ys follow mix r atio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

CAUTION: Wheels must be chocked or blocked

when unit is parked on a slope.

CABLE ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION: DO NOT make cable adjustment

when engine is running. Disconnect spark plug wire before making any adjustments.

Brake Adjustment

The brake control cable is spring loaded and requires no adjustment; however, the transaxle brake is adjustable. When the mower is in neutral and can be pushed by hand without depressing the brake lever, the transaxle brake needs adjustment. Using a ½ inch wrench turn the adjusting nut ¼ turn clockwise (see ﬁ gure 17-1). With the machine in neutral and:

1. The brake lever not depressed, the brake should be on and inhibit the machine from being rolled by pushing.

2. The brake lever depressed the brake should be off and the machine should roll uninhibited by the brake.

Blade Drive Control Cable Adjustment

When the blade drive control lever is depressed, the blades should turn and the blade drive belt should not slip. When the cable is properly adjusted the tension spring on the end of the control cable will open slightly (only enough for a piece of paper to slip between the coils). See ﬁ gure 17-3. Cable Adjustment:

1. Remove the deck belt cover (Item 81).

2. Observe the tension spring on the end of the cable when the blade drive lever is depressed. The spring should just break open.

3. If adjustment is required, using a ½” open end wrench, turn the inboard adjustment nut clockwise 1/8 of a turn (Figure 4). Then tighten the outboard adjustment nut against the cable support bracket (Item 49).

4. Check the spring tension with the blade drive lever depressed.

5. Readjust the control cable as needed for proper tension.

6. Replace the deck belt cover. Note: Too much tension will shorten belt and bearing life and too

little tension will allow the belt to slip.

Figure 17-1

Transaxle Drive Control Cable Adjustment

When the transaxle drive belt slips, the drive control cable needs to be adjusted or the belt needs to be replaced with a new belt.

Cable Adjustment:

1. Using a 3/8” wrench, remove the rear access door (Item 51).

2. Using a ½ “ open end wrench, turn the inside adjusting screw clockwise 1/8 of a turn and then tighten the outboard adjusting nut against the support bracket (see ﬁ gure 17-2).

3. Check for proper operation. If the operation is not correct, repeat step 2.

4. Replace the access door. The drive control cable adjustment should be the minimum amount required so the belt does not slip when the drive is engaged.

BLADE REMOVAL / SHARPENING

NOTE: When sharpening the blade it is a good idea to check the balance of the blade. A properly balanced blade will increase life of the bearings and other components.

Tools required: ratchet, 3/4” inch socket, torque wrench, adequate support, block to inhibit blade rotation.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.

2. Support front of unit to allow access to the blades. Note: Unit is heavy. Be sure support is adequate to prevent personal injury.

3. Block the blade to prevent it from rotating during removal (see ﬁ gure 17-4). For Each Spindle:

4. Remove the blade bolt (Item 35), lock washer (33), and large friction washer (103).

5. Remove the blade (18) and replace or sharpen the blade. NOTE: Use only B.G.I. Part no. 520001(Standard blade) or B.G.I. Part no. 520002 ( Mulch blade).

6. Reinstall the blade using all fasteners in the exact order they were removed (see ﬁ gure 17-4).

7. Torque blade screw to 60 ft-lbs. NOTE: Before installing the fasteners inspect them for wear and replace as necessary.

8. Reconnect spark plug wire.

17.5

BELT REPLACEMENT

When replacing one belt the other should be inspected for wear and replaced if worn. It is good practice to change both belts when either is worn beyond use. Use only original equipment belts for replacement. Billy Goat uses only premium quality, kevlar corded and coated belts in your unit.

Substitute belts do not meet the design and performance requirements for your unit , and will greatly reduce machine performance and belt life.
