If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.Vibrationis generallya warning of trouble.

Stop engine (motor) whenever youleavethe equipment,before cleaning mower housing,and when making any repairs or inspections.

Whencleaning, repairing or inspecting,make certain blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect spark plug wire and keep wire away from plug to prevent accidental starting.

Donot run engine (motor) indoors. Shutengine (motor) off and wait until blade comesto a complete stop beforeremoving grasscatcher and/or

uncloggingchute. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exerciseextreme caution when changing direction on

slopes.Donot mow excessivelysteep slopes. Neveroperate mower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devicesin place.

Keepwashoutports and othermower housingserviceopeningsclosedwhen mowing.

1. Checkblade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

2. Keepall nuts, bolts,and screws tight to be sure equipment is in safe working condition.

3. Neverstore equipment with gasoline in the tank insideof a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow engineto cool beforestoring in anyenclosure.

4. Toreducefire hazard keepengine free of grass, leavesor excessivegrease.

5. Checkgrass catcher frequentlyfor wear or deterioration.

ASSEMBLY

TOOLS REQUIRED: 7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver (11/16" Wrench needed to adjust Clutch Tension)

NOTE: Reference to left or right side of the mower is from operator's

position at the handle, facing fonNard. The lawn mower is fully assembled except for the handle throttle control,

drive control rod and clutch control

rod. Everything is packed and shipped

in one container.

ASSEMBLY:

1. CARTON REMOVAL

Cut the back panel, lay down pull mower backwards.

2. PARTS ID

3. TOOLS REQUIRED

7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver

(11/16" Wrench needed to adjust

Clutch Tension)

STEP 1: Remove the grass catcher, handle assembly, and rodsfrom the box

(see Fig. 1, grass catcher not shown). STEP 2: Attaching the handle: remove

the bolts retaining the panel to the lower handle. You need six bolts to mount the

handle. Two of the six bolts were those

you just removed. The other four are supplied with loose hardware in the

plastic bag. (see Fig. 2) Take the bottom section of the handle (Fig. 3) and install a bolt through the brace, the upper

handle section, and the panel or

bracket. Put a nut on each bolt and

secure the panel or bracket on both

sides of the handle.

NOTE: The three holes in the upper

handle must be aligned with the three

holes in the lower handle. The handle

brace is put on the outside of the

upper handle. Slip on the handle

grips. Soaking in hot water may ease

assembly.

DRIVE CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLY:

(see Fig. 4 & 5)

1. Assemble drive control rod (one

piece rod with both ends bent), by inserting one bent end in the drive control lever bearing and inserting

the other end in the drive pivotrod.

2. Secure the control rod with cotter pins.

ENGINE CLUTCH CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLY: (see Fig. 6)

1. The clutchcontrol rod consistsof one long rod with one bent end, one

coupler, two lock nuts and one short rod with one bent end.

2. Assemble the clutch control rod by inserting the short rod bent end in the clutch bearing. The end of the rod must be outside the belt (Fig. 6).

3. insert the bent end of the long rod in the clutch lever bearing.

4. Insert a cotter pin in each bent end, but do not secure until final

adjustment is made.

IMPORTANT! ENGINE CLUTCH ROD TENSION ADJUSTMENT: (Fig. 7)

1. Lift the engine clutch lever to the handle. If there is a slight tension on the belt, the adjustment should be correct. The tension should be just

enough to propel the mower and reel

without the belt slipping on the pulley.

EXCESSIVETENSION WILL REDUCE BELTLIFE AND PERFORMANCE OF

THE MOWER.

2 Check for correct belt tension"

CAUTION !

A. Remove spark plug wire, engage

the clutch by lifting the clutch

lever to the handle and pull on

the rope starter.

B. If the reel turns, the tension should

be correct, however, be sure to check if the idler bearing is putting

excessive tension on the belt.

C. If reel does not turn, more tension

is needed. Final adjustment can be made after reel is operating.

3. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES:

A. Excessive Belt Tension: Remove

the upper rodfrom the clutchlever handle and turn right (into the coupler)one turn at a time untilthe

tension is correct.

B, Increased Belt Tension Needed:

Remove the upper rod from the clutch lever handle and turn left

(out of the coupler) one turn at a

time until the tension is correct.

C. When the tension is correct, insert

the upper rod into the clutch lever handle, secure the cotter pins at

both ends of the control rod and tighten the lock nuts to the coupler.

At this time, replace the spark plug wire.

D. Refer to the operation instruc-

tions before using mower.

f IMPORTANT !

Without trapping belt, be sure

rod is on the outside of belt.

OPERATION

cu'n'ING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The cutting height is adjustable from 1/4" x 1-1/2". The front

wheet assembly bar may be moved in 3-holes on the side panels to adjust the height. (Refer to FIG. 13) The two top

cutting height adjustment holes, A & B are used for all

height adjustments except for the 1-1/2" height. Hole C is only used for the 1-t/2"' adjustment.

REAR AXLE ADJUSTING: The rear axle height positions my be changed by the

mower owner, however, due to the mechanics involved it is recommended the procedure be done by an Authorized

McLane Service Center.

The mower is shipped with axle in the middle position and the cutting heights listed above are achieved with the axle

in this position. The rear axle must be lowered to the high position (Fig. 14) to achieve the 1-1/2" cutting height.

REAR AXLE ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Drain the gas and oilfrom the engine. Turnmower so the front wheels and the engine are resting on the gournd or

work benchtop.

Refer to Fig. 14A A. Remove chain guard-No. 20 B. Remove side plate chain-No. 21

C. Remove clutch drive chain-No.15 and add (2) chain

links. They can be purchased from the factory or McLane Service Center. Part No. 5016

D. Remove (8) retainer bolts-No.12 E. Loosen (8) hanger bolts-No. 13

3. Move Axle outward until retainer bolt hole aligns with the high hole in the side plate. (Fig. 14)

4. Replace and tighten (8) retainer bolts.

5. Tighten (8) hanger bolts.

6. Replace side plate and clutch drive chains.

7. Refill oil and gasoline.

OPERATION

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to front wheels do not start

mower before setting height adjustment. Notched height bracket at

right front of mower (Fig. 14) must be placed at desired cutting heightposition.

STORAGE

MOWER:

• Clean all debris off mower and engine with a rag or brush.

• Do not use water.

• Oil all chains and wipe off excess oil with a rag.

ENGINE: Engines to be stored over 30 days should be completely

drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on essential carburetor parts, fuel filter and tank.

NOTE:

The use ofa fuel additive, such as STA-BIL®,or an equivalent,

will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a storage

container. a. All fuel should be removed from the tank. Run the

engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

b. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.

Refill with fresh oil.

c. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 cc)

of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

d. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head fins,

blower housing, rotating screen and muffler areas.

e. Store in a clean and dry area.

IMPORTANT:

IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,

FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE, ALSO,

EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT 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.

OTHER:

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 can cause problems.

• Do not store your mower under any plastic cover. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to

form and can cause your mower to rust.
