1.2 TRAINING
1.2.1 Regard the Exmark mower as a piece of power equipment and
teach this regard to all who operate this unit.
1.2.2 Read the instructions carefully. Familiarize yourself
with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
CAUTION
.
1.2.3 Never allow children, teenagers, or people unfamiliar

1.3.1 The use of personal protective equipment, such as (but not
limited to) protection for the eyes, ears, feet and head
is recommended.
1.3.2 While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or when

1.4.1 Give complete, undivided attention to the job at hand.
1.4.2 Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
operate the mower when children or others are in the area.
1.4.3 When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
1.4.4 Use
EXTREME
caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as
loss of traction and/or control could occur. Mow
with walk behind mowers, never up and down. Loss of control
and/or loss of operator’s footing could result in a fall with
an arm or leg getting under the mower or engine deck and
sustaining serious injury. Drive slower on slopes.
operate on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Watch for ditches,
holes, rocks, dips, and rises which can cause erratic
handlebar movement and loss of footing. Keep away from dropoffs and steep banks. Avoid sudden starts. Look down and
behind you before and while moving backwards.
DO NOT
slopes when grass is wet - slippery conditions create
hazardous footing, affect steering, and reduce traction and
braking. The operator is responsible for safe operation on
slopes. See inside back cover to determine the approximate
slope angle of the area to be mowed.
1.4.5 Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass,
if mower must be tilted for transportation, and when
transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.
1.4.6 Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or
covers. Always have safety shields, guards, switches, and
other devices in place and in proper working condition.

1.4.9 Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.
1.4.10 Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating parts
while the mower is being operated.
1.4.11 Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)and/
or remove key:
a) Before checking, cleaning or working on the mower.
b) After striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for
damage and make repairs before restarting and
operating the mower).
1.4.12 Stop the engine:
a) Before clearing blockages.
b) Before removing the grass catcher.
c) Whenever you leave the mower.
d) Before refueling.
e) Before making height adjustments.
1.4.13 Before stopping the engine, return the throttle control to the
idle position for 30 seconds to allow the engine to cool down.
1.4.14 The fuel system is provided with a shut-off valve. The
fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel when:
a) The machine will not be used for a few days
b) During transport to and from the job
c) When parking inside a building
1.4.15 This mower was designed for one operator only. Keep all
others away from mower during operation.

prevention partially are dependent upon
the design and configuration of the
equipment, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern,
prudence and proper training of the
personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of
the equipment. It is essential that all
Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected
and in operating condition prior to use
for mowing.

grass, leaves, excessive grease or oil and other debris
which can accumulate in these areas. These materials can
become combustible and may result in a fire.
1.5.4 Store fuel in a container specifically designed for this
purpose. Store the fuel container in a cool, dry place.
1.5.5 Keep the mower and fuel container in locked storage to
prevent children from playing or tampering with them.
1.5.6 Gasoline powered equipment or fuel containers should not
be stored in a basement or any enclosed area where open

3. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Uncrate unit, leaving it on the pallet, place upper handle
assembly, fuel tank, and shifter lever at the rear of the
machine. Place casters at the front of the unit.
3.2 Place a length of 4" x 4" block between the front of the
cutter deck and the pallet.
3.3 Remove the bolt bag from the top of the fuel tank support.
3.4 Refer to Parts Manual to help you identify and locate parts
and their proper position.
- 8 -
3.5 Install casters to front of deck using appropriate
hardware from the bolt bag (eight 3/8 x 3/4" bolts
and eight 3/8" whizlock nuts); tightening the lower
four bolts first, then the top four.
3.6 Loosen the 5/16" hardware at the two (2) discharge
deflector hinge points so that the deflector is snug,
but can be moved up and down freely.
3.7 Mount the fuel tank on the tank support.
Apply retaining adhesive Fel-Pro Pro-Lock ‘Retaining Type I or
Retaining II’ or Loctite RC 609 or 680 on the two threaded
studs from the bolt bag and install into the two left holes
underneath fuel tank. Install the fuel tank on top of the
fuel tank support with the studs going through the slots in
the support. Install two 5/16 x 3/4 screws with a 5/16”
flatwasher and 5/16” lockwasher into the threaded holes in
the right side of the fuel tank.
Do not over tighten
a 5/16” flatwasher, then a spring, and a 5/16 nyloc nut over
each of the studs. Completely tighten nyloc nut then back off
a 1/2 turn. This will allow for normal fuel expansion and
contraction with changes in temperature and fuel levels.
Do not over tighten
.
3.8 Install Handle Assembly
. Place
Position the lower end of the handle assembly on the
outside of the upper rear section of the fuel tank &
handle support. Install one 3/8-16 x 1" bolt (from
the outside in) in the upper hole on each side of the
handle.
Loosely secure each screw with a 3/8" nyloc nut. The
handle can now be pivoted to allow positioning in one
of the three holes allowing various adjustments for
operator comfort (See Figures 1 & 2). Once a proper
position is found, install one 3/8 x 1" bolt in the
bottom mounting holes on each side of the handle.
Secure each bolt with a 3/8" nyloc nut. Tighten all
hardware.

UPPER HANDLE MOUNTING
IMPORTANT: If the mower has been
the handle position is
changed
completely assembled
, it will be necessary to
readjust the drive and brake linkage.
