Assembly Instructions
1. Remove inner parts box and handle from
crate. Remove outside frame work so
that the mower is setting on the pallet.
2. On a 36" mower, use 3 – 5/16" X 1 3/4"
bolts and 3 – 5/16" whizlocks and bolt the
bumper into place. (On the 48" there are
4 - bumper bolts required.) The
whizlocks should go to the inside of the
deck. When assembling a 48" mower,
make sure that the bumper is flush with
the deck on both ends of the bumper.
3. Using 6 – 3/8" X 1" bolts (3 – used for
each caster) and 6 – 3/8" whizlock nuts,
bolt the casters into place. Position
whizlock nuts to the inside of the deck.
4. Using 2 – 1/4" X 3/4" bolts and 2 – 1/4"
nyloc nuts secure the speed control lever
assembly to the underside of the mount
plate on the lower handle. Connect the
speed control link to the control cam arm
and secure with 1 - 1/4" nyloc nut.
5. Mount the gas tank using the 2 – nylon
hold down straps, pulling tension on the
buckles until secure. Attach the quick
coupler on the end of the fuel line to the
bottom of the tank.
6. Using the remaining 3/8" X 1" bolts and
the 4 – 3/8" nyloc nuts, bolt the upper
handle into position. (Remember that
there are 3 – height settings for the

handle for operator comfort.) Route the
wiring harness along the handle,
plugging it into the blade control switch,
o.p.c. and speed control switch located
under the speed control plate. There is
not a specific color code for hooking up
the harness. Run the throttle cable
around the left hand side of the engine to
the throttle plate, attaching the cable to
the top side of the plate on Vanguard
engines. Loosen screw on throttle
control handle and adjust cable so
throttle operates properly.
7. At this point, you are ready to oil and fuel
the engine. With that being done, take
the unit and raise the rear wheels off the
ground so that they may free wheel.
Block the unit up securely so that you
may run the engine with no danger of it
falling from the stand. With the speed
control in the neutral position, start the
engine and run it at 3/4 to full throttle.
Using a 5/16" wrench adjust the speed
control link, to set the right hand wheel to
neutral no matter what the left hand
wheel does. With that accomplished,
lock the lock nuts into place on speed
control link. If the left hand wheel is not
neutralized use a 1/2" wrench, to break
the lock nut loose on the pump link and
adjust the rod end to neutral the left hand
wheel. After accomplishing neutral, shut
the engine off and remove the support
blocks from under the machine. With the
engine shut down, take the drive rods
and bolt them onto the main control shaft
using the 5/16" nyloc nuts provided.
Adjust the length of the rod so that the
pins in the drive levers are just a little
under center of the neutral lock on the
thumb lock. (See fig.)
8. You are ready for your test run to set the
full speed tracking. Remember to check
the air pressure in the tires. Rear wheels
Hydro Drive Thumblock
should be set at 12 psi, front casters to
20 psi. Run unit at full throttle and set
control lever to the full speed setting.
The test run should be made on some
type of hard surface with the ground
being fairly level. If the machine pulls
one way in full speed, adjust the slow
side stop bolt up to speed up the slow
motor. If there is not enough adjustment
to speed up the slow motor, you may
have to lengthen the stop bolt on the fast
side. Run that machine at an
intermediate speed. If you have a
tracking problem after full speed tracking
is set, the adjustment is in the pump arm
rod end. This is remedied by adjusting
the length of the pump arm. Brake the
lock nut loose on the pump arm and
remove the bolt from the rod end that
attaches it to the link. To increase the
pump speed, shorten the pump arm. To
decrease the speed, lengthen the pump
arm. Usually about two full turns on the
pump arm rod end to speed up or slow
down is adequate. (See fig.)

Final Check /
Adjustment
1. Check all oil levels (engine and hydraulic
oil tank). See engine manual for proper
engine oil level. See specifications for
hydraulic oil level.
2. Check air pressure in drive wheels (12
psi) and caster wheels (20psi).
3. Check for proper belt tension (see guide).
Keep a 1/8" to 1/4" clearance between
belt guides and belts with belt tension
applied. Check for leaks at all hose
connections.
4. After a 10 hour “Break-In” period go
through steps 1 thru 3.
5. Proper adjustments must be maintained
to insure safe, trouble free, long life
operation of the mower. After completing
the foregoing instructions and
recommended procedures you are ready
to put the mower into operation.

BEFORE OPERATING
Know your machine top to bottom.
Make certain all safety standards and
instructions have been fully read and
understood.
Be acquainted with all “SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” in this manual – to
start.
1. Fill the fuel tank and open the fuel valve.
2. Speed Control Lever is in “Stop” position
(Top of lever all the way to the left).
3. Blades disengaged (Lever all the way
back).
4. Control cables locked in neutral at the
thumb latches.
5. Choke engine as required and start.
6. After engine is running, push blade
engagement lever forward to engage
blades.
7. Move the Speed Control Lever to desired
speed. (St arting out slow and moving up
to speed while moving is recommended.)
8. Grip the Drive Levers just enough to hold
them in the neutral or stopped position.
NOTE: Squeezing the Drive Levers
past the neutral or stopped position
will result in the mower backing up.
(This is the “Finger Tip” reverse
feature). Push forward on the thumb
locks to unlock the Drive Levers. Slowly
release the Drive Levers to move
forward.
9. In the all forward mode, the mower will
travel straight. Slight turning can be
done by simply pushing the mower
manually right or left via the handles.
More substantial turns are done by
squeezing the Drive Levers until the
mower turns the desired amount. To
make a counter rotating turn (one wheel
forward, the other reversed) is
accomplished by squeezing one of the
Drive Levers to the stop position.
