SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS

TRAINING

1. Read the Operating and Service Owner’s Manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equip ment.
2. Never allow children to operate a power mower. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allow ed to use your mower.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all per sons, particularly small children and pets. Stop engine when they are in the vicinity of your mower. Although the area of operation should be completely cleared of foreign ob jects, a small object may have been overlook ed and could be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction.

PREPARATION

1. Thoroughly Inspect the area where the equip
ment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones and other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the mower in any direction.
2. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. Always wear substan tial footwear.
3. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could
get caught on the mower.
4. Check the fuel before starting the engine. Do not fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the engine is running, or while the engine is still hot. Wipe off any spilled gasoline before start ing the engine.
5. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch on units so equipped before start ing the engine.
6. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting
height adjustment while the engine is run ning.
7. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
8. Never operate the equipment in wet grass.
Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm
hold on the handle and walk, never run.

OPERATION

1. Do not change the engine governor settings
or overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are dangerous.
2. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
3. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives,
walks or roads.
4. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the mower for any 3
damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower.
5. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnor
mally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
6. Stop the engine whenever you leave the
mower, before cleaning the mower housing, and when making any repairs or inspections.
7. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
8. Before attempting to unclog the mower or
discharge chute, stop the engine and be sure the blade(s) have stopped completely. Discon nect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental start
ing.
9. Do not run the engine indoors.
10. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging chute.
11. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and­down. Exercise extreme caution when chang ing direction on slopes. Do not mow ex cessively steep slopes.
12. Always disconnect electric mowers (line operated) before cleaning, repairing or ad justing.
13. Never operate mower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place.
14. Keep washout ports and other mower-housing service openings closed when mowing.
15. DO NOT OPERATE this mower with the chute doors open, unless the complete grass cat cher is properly mounted on the mower.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working condi tion.
3. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher bag frequently for wear or deterioration. For safety protection replace only with new bag meeting original
equipment specifications.

This engine features a unique Automatic Choke. In case of flooding, move control to “STOP” and pull starter six times. Then move control to “START” position and start engine. If engine con tinues to flood, rotate the carburetor
needle valve 1/8 turn clock\A/ise to
obtain a leaner mixture. See Car buretor Adjustment on page 10.

ADJUSTMENTS

, , ^CAUTION
Do not at any time make any adjust ment to lawn mower without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire.
CUTTING HEIGHT An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel
position provides cutting height adjustment. Each
adjusting plate has five holes. Height of cut will
be changed when the thumb lever is moved from
one hole to another. Simply depress the lever
towards wheel and move wheel and lever assembly to desired position. See figure 16.
Cutting height will be raised as front and rear
levers are lowered. Cutting height will be lowered
as front and rear levers are raised. All wheels must be positioned at the same height.
For rough or uneven lawns, move the wheels to a
position which will give a higher cutting height.
This mower is designed to be operated at full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most effective job of bagging the cut grass.

TO STOP ENGINE

1. Move throttle control lever to “STOP” posi tion.
2. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and ground to prevent accidental starting while
equipment is unattended.
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. For best results and to insure more even grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet.

WARNING

If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), disengage ail clutches and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of
heated surfaces and muffler.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS (See figure 19) Minor carburetor adjustments may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load.
All carburetor adjustments should be made with the air cleaner on engine. Air cleaner mounting screw must be in carburetor when engine is run. Best adjustment is made with a fuel tank half full of gasoline.
t
FIGURE 17. HANDLE POSITION
The upper handle can be adjusted to a high or low
position. The operator of the lawn mower can easi
ly adjust the handle position by unscrewing the two knobs, removing the two bolts and reassem bling in the other position. No tools are necessary to make this adjustment. See figure 18.
ir ^ ' V ' I
To Adjust Carburetor:
1. Start engine and run long enough to warm it to
operating temperature. If engine is out of adjustment so that it will
not start, close the needle valve by turning it clockwise. Then open needle valve 1-1/2 turns counterclockwise.
2. Move engine control to run engine at normal
operating speed. a. Turn needle valve in clockwise until
engine starts to lose speed (lean mixture).
b. Then slowly turn needle valve out counter
clockwise past the point of smoothest operation until engine just begins to run unevenly (rich mixture).
c. Turn needle valve back in clockwise very
slowly till engine runs evenly.
d. Final adjustment of the needle valve
should be slightly to the rich side (turn counterclockwise) of the mid-point.
3. Move engine control to SLOW. Turn idle ad
justing screw until a fast idle is obtained (1750
R.P.M.).
FIGURE 18.
t - ► ■ 'll
4. To check adjustment, move engine control
from SLOW to FAST speed. Engine should ac celerate smoothly. If engine tends to stall or die out, increase idle speed or re-adjust car buretor, usually to a slightly richer mixture.

LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT
Always stop engine and disconnect
spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work
on lawn mower.
Wheels—The wheels require no lubrication. Engine—Follow engine manual for lubrication in
structions. Throttle—Periodically lubricate throttle control
lever and throttle wire assembly with a few drops of light oil (SAE No. 10 or20) for ease of operation.
Discharge Chute Door Mechanism—The torsion spring and pivot point should be lubricated periodically with light oil to prevent any rust or binding. Doors must work freely.

MAINTENANCE

CUTTING BLADE

The blade may easily be removed for sharpening or replacement as follows:
1. Remove the center bolt and center lock washer holding the blade and adapter to the engine crankshaft.
2. Remove the blade and adapter from the
crankshaft.
3. Be careful not to lose the key on the
crankshaft. See figure 20.
4. Remove the two smaller bolts, lock washers and nuts holding the blade to the adapter. See figure 20.
FIGURE 20.
When sharpening 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 un
balanced blade will cause excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds and may cause
damage to the mower. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing
it on a screw driver. Remove metal from the heavy
side until it balances evenly. See figure 21.

FIGURE 21.

NOTE
When replacing the blade, be sure the side of the blade marked “Bot tom” or having the part number is
facing the ground when the mower is in the operating position.
11
Page 12
To insure safe operation of your unit, ALL nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness.

Blade Mounting Torque

3/8" Dia. Bolt—375 in. lb. min., 450 in. lb. max.
5/16" Dia. Bolt—150 in. lb. min., 250 in. lb. max.

DECK

The underside of the mower deck should be clean ed after each period of use as grass clippings,
leaves, dirt and other matter will accumulate. This
accumulation of grass clippings, etc., is
undesirable as it will invite rust and corrosion and
may cause an uneven discharge of grass clippings at the next cutting.
The deck may be'Cleaned by tilting the mower for ward or on its side and scraping clean with a suitable tool or by washing with a stream of water from a garden hose.
A
Do not direct the stream of water at a hot engine as damage to the engine may result. Be sure spark plug wire is disconnected.
