I WARNING j
To reduce the potential for any injury, compiy with the following safety instructions. Failure to comply with
the instructions may result in personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHINO MOWERS
TRAINING
1. It is suggested that this manual be read in its
entirety before attempting to assemble or
operate this unit. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference and for ordering
replacement parts.
2. Your rotary mower is a precision piece of
power equipment, not a plaything. Therefore,
exercise extreme caution at all times.
3. Read this Owner’s Manual carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls 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. 3
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.
15. DO NOT OPERATE this mower with the chute
doors open, unless the complete grass catch
er 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.

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
needle valve by turning it clockwise. Then
open needle valve 1V2 turns counter
clockwise.
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
adjusting screw until a fast idle is
obtained—(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.

FIGURE 16.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT
Always stop engine and disconnect
spark plug wire before cleaning,
lubricating or doing any kind of work
on lawn mower.
1. Remove the large bolt and lock washer which
holds the blade and adapter to the engine
crankshaft.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE
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.
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.
Engine—Follow engine manual for lubrication in
structions.
Throttle—Periodically lubricate throttie control
lever and throttle wire assembly with a few drops
of light oil for ease of operation.
MAINTENANCE
CUTTING BLADE
A. Removal for Sharpening or Replacement
twARm G t
It is recommended that the blade
always be removed from the adapter
for the best test of balance.
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 iight oil is
also recommended. A 4 oz. plastic bottle of light
oil lubricant is available. Order part number
737-0170. Engine oii 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 boits must be checked periodically for correct
tightness.
Be sure to disconnect and ground
the spark plug wire before working
on the cutting blade to prevent
accidental engine starting.
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-
11
Page 12
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.
c. SOAK foam with engine oil. Squeeze to
distribute and remove excess oil.
4. Reassemble parts and fasten to carburetor.
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.
ENGINE OIL
CHECK OIL LEVEL before starting engine and
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 oil
fill opening by tipping the unit on its side. Oil
capacity 1-1/4 pints. See figure 17.

recommended at the start of each mowing
season; check engine manual for correct plug
type.
FIGURE 17.
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 18.
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.
b. DRY foam completely by wrapping and
squeezing in a cloth.
NOTE

2. Drain aii the oil from the crankcase (this
should be done after the engine has been
operated and is still warm). Refill the
crankcase with clean new oil.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove
the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour about 2
or 3 tablespoons of engine oil into the
cylinder. Turn the engine over several times to
spread out the oil. Replace the spark plug, but
do not connect the wire.
4. Clean the engine and the entire mower
thoroughly.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points.
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.
New grass should be treated as wet grass. Other
wise, a normal walking speed is about the right
pace for efficient mowing.
Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the machine is to be inoperative for a period
longer than 30 days, the following procedures are
recommended:
1. Working outdoors, drain all fuel from the fuel
tank. Use a clean dry cloth to absorb the small
amount of fuel remaining in the tank. Then run
the engine until all fuel in the carburetor is ex
hausted.
WARNING
Do not drain fuel while smoking, or
if near an open fire.
HANDLE STORAGE
The handle can be stored in an upright position to
take less space. Move hairpin cotters to outer hole
on weld pins (see figure 3). Grasp the lower handle
at the bottom and pull apart slightly. Tip the han
dle forward. It will lock in this position. Reverse
this procedure to place the handle in the
operating position.
The handle may also be folded away completely
for storage.
1. Remove hairpin cotters from inner hole on
weld pins on handle mount brackets. Place in
outer hole.
2. Loosen the two hand knobs on each side of
the handle.
3. Push outward on the bottom of each side of
the lower handle, and push forward.
4. Fold the upper handle back and down, as
shown.
To take the handle out of storage position, pro
ceed as follows.
1. Lift the upper handle up and towards the rear.
2. Pull the handle back until it iocks into the
operator’s position.
3. Tighten the two hand knobs securely.
4. Move the hairpin cotters to the inner hole on
the weld pins.
