SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Mowers
IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS. FAILURE
TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
I. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before starting. Be thor ough ly familiar with the controls and the proper use of
the machine before starting.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar
with the instructions, to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,
bones, sticks, etc., which could be picked up and thrown
by the blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mow ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. Always wear substantial foot wear.
• Do not pull mower backwards unless absolutely nec es sary. Always look down and behind before and while
moving backwards.
• Do not operate the mower without proper guards,
plates, grass catcher or other safety protective devices
in place.
• See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks,
or roads.
• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equip ment, before cleaning the mower or unclogging the
chute.
• Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes
to complete stop before removing grass catch er.
• Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence
of alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate machine in wet grass. Always be sure of
your footing: keep a fi rm hold on the handle and walk;
never run.
• Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch
on mowers so equipped before starting the engine (motor).
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating mower.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
The operator could lose footing or balance.
• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause
slipping.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity.
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the trimming area and under the
watchful care of another re spon si ble adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the
area.
• Before and while walking backwards, look behind and
down
for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Never
assume that
IV. SERVICE

OPERATION
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or
performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety
mask over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum performance. Speed is not adjustable.
ENGINE ZONE CONTROL
CAUTION: Federal regulations require
an engine control to be installed on this
lawn mower in order to minimize the risk
of blade contact injury. Do not un der
any cir cum stanc es attempt to defeat
the function of the operator control.
The blade turns when the engine is
running.
• Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator presence
control bar which requires the operator to be positioned
behind the lawn mower handle to start and operate the
lawn mower.
DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)
• Self-propelling is controlled by hold ing the operator
presence control bar down to the handle and pulling
the drive control bar up to the handle. The closer to the
handle the bar is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.
• Forward motion will stop when either the operator presence control bar or drive control bar are released. To
stop forward motion without stop ping engine, re lease
the drive control bar only. Hold op er a tor presence control
bar down against handle to con tin ue mowing without
self-propelling.
NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will
not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to
disengage drive wheels.
• To keep drive control engaged when turning corners,
push down on the handle to lift the front wheels off the
ground while turning lawn mower.
DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 3)
Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”,
resulting in decreased speed. There is a thumbscrew on
the un der side of the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive cable. Pro ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug.
2. Rotate thumbscrew counter-clockwise to tighten the
drive cable.
3. Operate mower to test drive speed.
4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps (forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn
and should be re placed.
NOTE: If mower begins to “creep” forward, the drive cable
is too tight. Rotate thumbscrew clockwise to loosen drive
cable.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL (See Figs. 7 and 8)
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine. For type
and grade of oil to use, see “EN GINE” in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfi ll engine with
oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffl er on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fi ll spout.
3. You receive a container of oil with the unit. Slowly
pour the entire container down the oil fi ll spout into the
engine.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill
to full line on dipstick.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or each
season. You may need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions. See “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Maintenance section of this manual.
OIL FILLER CAP/DIPSTICK
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 8)
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank fi ller neck. Do not overfi ll. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open fl ame.
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation
and for ma tion of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before stor age of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use
fresh fuel next season. See Storage
In struc tions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
TO STOP ENGINE
• To stop engine, release operator presence control bar.

MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it
may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut
by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should be set in the fast position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become fi lled with
dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less
grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with
water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of
grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air fl ow
and extend engine life.
MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. SEE
“CLEANING” IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL.
• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as
they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass
and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this
will provide the best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut area
will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height
so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third
of the grass blades (See Fig. 10). If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary to raise the height of cut to
reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading
the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For
extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut by
overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.
MAX 1/3
FIG. 10
• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow
across (perpendicular) to the fi rst cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
north to south one week then change to east to west the
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.

TO SHARPEN BLADE
NOTE: We do not recommend sharp en ing blade - but if
you do, be sure the blade is balanced.
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An
un bal anced blade will cause eventual damage to lawn
mower or engine.
• The blade can be sharp ened with a fi le or on a grinding
wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.
• To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or
wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail ex posed.
Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail.
If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal
position. If either end of the blade moves downward,
sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.
GRASS CATCHER
• The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must
be dry when used.
• Check your grass catcher often for damage or de te ri o ra tion. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher
needs replacing, replace only with ap proved replacement catcher shown in the Repair Parts section of this
manual. Give the lawn mower model number when
ordering.
GEAR CASE
• To keep your drive system working properly, the gear
case and area around the drive should be kept clean
and free of trash build-up. Clean under the drive cover
twice a season.
• The gear case is fi lled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs
attention is if service has been performed on the gear
case.
• If lubricant is required, use only ELF Multis EP00.
Do not substitute.

3. Tip lawn mower on its side as shown and drain oil into
a suitable container. Rock lawn mower back and forth
to remove any oil trapped inside of engine.
OIL FILLER CAP/DIPSTICK
5. Fill engine with oil. The engine oil capacity is 18.5 oz.
If oil is not com plete ly drained from engine, you may
not need the entire container of a 20 oz. bottle of oil.
Slowly pour 3/4 of the oil from the container down the
oil fi ll spout into the engine.
6. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle. Use guage on oil
fi ll cap/dipstick for checking level. Insert dipstick into
the tube and rest the oil fi ll cap on the tube. DO NOT
thread the cap into the tube when taking reading.
7. Continue adding small amounts of oil and rechecking
the dipstick until it reads full. DO NOT overfi ll, or engine
will smoke on startup.
8. Always be sure to retighten oil dipstick before starting
engine.
9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
AIR FILTER
Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged
by using a dirty air fi lter. Replace the air fi lter every 100
hours of operation or every season, whichever occurs fi rst.
Ser vice air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. See
the main te nance section of your engine manual.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it could create a
fi re hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season
or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs
fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in the
“PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN
THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER EACH USE.
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.

4. Wipe off any spilled oil from lawn mower or side of
engine.
• Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scraping
to remove build-up of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating. A
clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
• We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean
lawn mower unless the electrical system, muffl er, air
fi lter and carburetor are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can result in shortened engine life.
CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER
Clean under drive cover at least twice a season. Scrape underside of cover with putty knife or similar tool to remove any
build-up of trash or grass on underside of drive cover.

FIG. 15
ENGINE SPEED
Your engine speed has been factory set. Do not attempt to
increase engine speed or it may result in personal injury. If
you believe that the engine is running too fast or too slow,
take your lawn mower to an authorized service center for
repair and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your engine does not
operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems,
take your lawn mower to an authorized service center for
repair and/or adjustment.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR,
WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED.
OVER SPEED ING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH
SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE
ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING,
CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SER VICE CEN TER,
WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIP MENT AND EXPERIENCE TO

STORAGE
Immediately prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
LAWN MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean
it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in
a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire lawn mower (See “CLEANING” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
2. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage,
breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.
4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
HANDLE (See Figs. 16 and 17)

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS
FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH
AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK
DURING STORAGE. ALSO, ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS
(CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL)
CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION
AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS
CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN
STORAGE.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole
into cylinder.

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe, which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER MOWER WHILE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
CAUTION: Never store the lawn mower
with gasoline in the tank inside a build ing where fumes may reach an open
fl ame or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
