SECTION1: IMPORTANTSAFEOPERATIONPRACTICES

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 instructionsin this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury. When you see this symbol - heed its warning.

WARNING: Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

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.

GeneralOperation

1. Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,

understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before operation. Be completely

familiar with the controls and the proper use of this machine before operating it. Keep this manual in asafe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

2. This machine is a precision piece of power equipment, 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 itfor any other purpose.

3. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate this machine. Children 14 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent. Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use

this machine.

4. 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. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close4itting 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.

8. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands

and feet.

9. A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or thrown object injuries.

10. 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.

11. Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. Ifyou 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.

12. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

13. Donotengage the self-propelled mechanism on units so equipped while starting engine.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Mowonlyin daylightorin good artificiallight. Walk, never run.

17. Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads,

18. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

19. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or

23. Ifsituationsoccurwhicharenotcoveredinthismanua], use care and good judgment. Contact your dealer for

assistance. Telephone 1-87'7-282-8684 for the name of your nearest dealer.

SlopeOperation

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 uniton 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 Net:

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.

Keep children away from hot or running engines. They

can suffer burns from a hot muffler.

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 should be trained and supervised by a parent.

Safe HandlingOfGasoline:

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,

2. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

3. Use only an approved gasoline container.

4. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on

the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

5. When practical, 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.

6. 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.

7. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

8. Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.

9. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes

before refueling.

10. Neverover fillfueltank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel

expansion.

11. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

12. Ifgasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting

the engine.

13. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water

heater, space heater, furnace ,clothes dryer or other gas

appliances.

14. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves,

or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.

15. Allow a mower to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.

GeneralService:

1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated

area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to

prevent unintended starting.

WARNING: Do not remove the battery pack from the handle panel for any reason other than replacement. When replacing the battery pack, refer to the instructions

in the maintenance section.

Starting Engine

Prime engine as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Your lawn mower is equipped with a constant speed throttle, which is set at full throttle for best performance. Stand behind the mower and squeeze the blade control handle against the upper handle. Grasp recoil starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches the start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keeping a firm grip on the starter handle, let the rope return to the starter slowly.

UsingYourLawnMower

Be sure that the lawn isclear 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 operator and others. For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends

to stick to the underside of the mower, preventing

proper discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass, thick grass, or wet grass

may require a narrower cut. For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than one-third

of the total length of the grass. Your lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is growth. This mower is

designed to be operated at full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most effective job of mowing or

mulching.

WARNING: If you strike a foreign object,

stop the engine. Remove wire from the spark plug, thoroughly 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.

Mulching

For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the grass has been allowed to grow in excess of 4", mulching is not recommended. Mow using the grass bag to reduce the grass height to 3 1/4" maximum before mulching.

AttachingTheGrassBag

Remove three wing nuts holding the mulching baffle or side discharge chute in place and remove

from unit. See Figure 8.

Grass Bag

Nuts

The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator abuse

or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain the lawn mower

as instructed in this manual. Changing of engine governed speed will void engine warranty.

Some adjustments will have to be made

periodically to maintain your unit properly. All

adjustments in the Making Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each

season.

Periodically check all fasteners and make sure

these are tight.

Follow the maintenance schedule under Customer Responsibilities to get quality performance from

your lawn mower.

Maintenance

NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and

keep the air cleaner side of engine up. Never tip the mower more than 90 degrees and do not leave the mower tipped for any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.

Engine Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine

maintenance instructions.

Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate

engine manual packed with your unit.

Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal

conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding

usually indicate that the air cleaner should be

serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the

separate engine manual packed with your unit.

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.

Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.

Keep the cooling system (blower housing 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, discharge, or bagging. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).

IMPORTANT:We do not recommend the use of a

pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. Catting Blade Removal,Replacement,and Sharpening

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.

Remove the bolt and the blade bell support which hold the blade and the blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. See Figure 16.

Remove the blade and the adapter from the crankshaft.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade

adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

When sharpening the blade, follow the original angle of grind as a guide. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to

prevent an unbalanced blade. An unbalanced blade will

cause excessive vibration when rotating at high

speeds. It may cause damage to the mower, and could break causing personal injury.

Blade Adapter_"_

Blade Bell

Bolt

Figure 16

The blade can be tested by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly. It is recommended that the blade always be removed from the adapter when testing for balance. Before reinstalling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil.

Be sure to install the blade with the side of the blade marked "Bottom" (or with part number) facing

the ground when the mower is in the operating

position. Slide the blade adapter onto the engine crankshaft. Place the blade on the adapter. Be certain the blade isaligned and seated on the blade adapter

flanges.

Place blade bell support on blade. Make sure the notches on the blade bell support are aligned with

small holes in the blade. Replace hex bolt and tighten to torque: 450 in. Ibs.

min., 600 in. Ibs. max.

NOTE: To ensure safe operation of your mower, the blade bolt must be checked periodically for correct torque.

DriveBeltRemovalandReplacement

Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine. Drain the fuel tank or place a piece of plastic beneath the cap to prevent gasoline leakage. Place shift lever in the first position and tip the mower on its side with air filter facing up.

Remove the center bolt which secures the blade to

the crankshaft followed by blade bell support,

blade, and blade adapter. Move the cutting height adjustment to the highest position. Remove the three hex screws holding the baffle to

the deck and pivot baffle towards the rear of the

mower. See Figure 17.
