I WARNING \
To reduce the potential for any injury, comply with the following safety instructions. Failure to comply with
the instructions may result in personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS
TRAINING
1. It is suggested that this manual be read in its
entirety before attempting to assemble or
operate this unit. Keep this manuai in a safe
place for future reference and for ordering
repiacement parts.
2. Your rotary mower is a precision piece of
power equipment, not a piaything. Therefore,
exercise extreme caution at aii times.
3. Read this Owner’s Manuai carefuliy. Be
thoroughiy familiar with the controis and the
proper use of the equipment.
4. Never allow children to operate a power
mower. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should be al
lowed to use your mower.
5. 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 over
looked and could be accidently thrown by the
mower in any direction and cause injury.
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 and cause injury.
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.
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Do
not fill the gasoline tank indoors, while the
engine is running, or while the engine is still
hot. Wipe off any spilled gasoline before start
ing the engine as it may cause a fire or explo
sion.
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 as the rotating blade can cause in
jury.
3. Stop the blade 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
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 has stopped completely. The cut
ting blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine is shut off. Never
place any part of the body in the blade area un
til you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
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.
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
3 equipment specifications.

FIGURE 15.
^ WARNING \
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), disengage all
clutches and blades. Keep clear of
all moving parts and be careful of
heated surfaces and muffler.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS (See figure 16.)
Minor carburetor adjustment 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.
To Adjust Carburetor:
1. Start engine and run long enough to warm it to
operating temperature. If engine is out of ad
justment so that it will not start, close the nee
dle valve by turning it clockwise. Then open
needle valve 1V2 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
counterclockwise 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 ob
tained—(1750 R.P.M.).
4. To check adjustment move engine control
from “SLOW” to “FAST” speed. Engine
should accelerate smoothly. If engine tends
to stall or die out, increase idle speed or re
adjust carburetor, usually to a slightly richer
mixture.

MAINTENANCE
CUTTING BLADE
A. Removal for Sharpening or Replacement
FIGURE 16.
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.
However, if the wheels are removed for any
reason, lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and
the inner surface of the wheel with light oil. A 4 oz.
plastic bottle of light oil lubricant is available.
Order part number 737-0170. Engine oil may also
be used.
WARNING
t
Be sure to disconnect and ground
the spark plug wire before working
on the cutting blade to prevent
accidental engine starting.
1.
Remove the large bolt and lock washer which
holds the blade and adapter to the engine
crankshaft. See figure 17.
2.
Remove the blade and adapter from the
crankshaft. Be careful not to lose the key on
the crankshaft.
3. If the blade or blade adapter needs replacing,
remove the two small bolts, lock washers and
nuts which hold the blade to the adapter.
j
Protective Shield—The pivot points on the protec
tive shield should be lubricated periodically with
light oil to prevent any rust or binding.
Chute Deflector—The torsion spring and pivot
point should be lubricated periodically with light
oil to prevent any rust or binding. Deflector must
work freely.
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 or 20) for ease of operation.
FIGURE 17.
B. Sharpening
Remove the cutting blade by following the direc
tions of the preceding section.
When sharpening the 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.
12
Page 13
The blade can be tested for balance by balancing
it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal
from the heavy side until it balances evenly. See
figure 18.
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.
NOTE
It is recommended that the blade
always be removed from the adapter
for the best test of balance.
FIGURE 18.
C. Reassembly
Before reassembling the blade and the blade
adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine
crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade
adapter with light oil. Lubricating the bolt holes,
bolts and inner surface of the nuts with light oil is
also recommended. A 4 oz. plastic bottle of light
oil lubricant is available. Order part number
737-0170. Engine oil may also be used.
When replacing the blade, be sure to install the
blade with the side of the blade marked “Bottom”
(or with part number) facing the ground when the
mower is in the operating position. Make certain
key is in place on the crankshaft.
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.
To insure safe operation of your unit, ALL nuts
and bolts must be checked periodically for correct
tightness.
DECK
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned
after each period of use as grass clippings, leaves,
dirt and other matter will accumulate. This ac
cumulation 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.
CAUTION
A
Do not direct the stream of water at
a hot engine as damage to the
engine may result.
ENGINEOIL
Check oil level before starting engine
after every 5 hours of operation.
ADD oil as necessary to keep level FULL TO
POINT OF OVERFLOWING.
Before removing oil fill plug, clean area around
plug to prevent dirt from entering oil fill hole.
Engine should be in a level position when check
ing oil.
Change oil after first 5 hours of operation.
Thereafter change every 25 hours. Change oil
while engine is warm. Oil may be drained thru
drain on bottom of engine. To drain completely,
always place engine level when draining thru the
bottom. Oil capacity 1-1/4 pints. See figure 19.
FIGURE 19.
AIR CLEANER
Clean air cleaner and re-oil element every 25
hours under normal conditions. Clean every few
hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor
engine performance and flooding usually in
dicates that the air cleaner should be serviced.
See figure 20.
1. Remove screw.
2. Remove air cleaner carefully to prevent dirt
from entering carburetor.
3. Take air cleaner apart and clean.
a. WASH foam element in kerosene or a liq
uid detergent and water to remove dirt.
DRY foam completely by wrapping and
b.
squeezing in a cloth.
SOAK foam with engine oil. Squeeze to
c.
distribute and remove excess oil.
4. Reassemble parts and fasten to carburetor.

NOTE
Whenever the spark plug is removed
for cleaning, it is advisable to

USING YOUR ROTARY
MOWER
For the best results do not cut wet grass because
it tends to stick to the underside of the mower,
thus preventing proper discharge of grass clip
pings. If wet grass must be cut, reduce walking
speed to help distribute the clippings more effec
tively.
New grass should be treated as wet grass, other
wise a normal walking speed is about the right
pace for efficient mowing.
The best mowing pattern is one that allows the
clippings to discharge towards the uncut part of
the lawn. This permits recutting of the clippings
to further pulverize them. When cutting high
weeds, discharge towards cut portion, then recut
at right angles to first direction.
Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
