with the instructions may result in personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS
TRAINING
1. Read this owner’s manual carefully in its en
tirety before attempting to assemble or
operate this machine. Be completely familiar
with the controls and the proper use of this
machine before operating it. Keep this manual
in a safe place for future and regular 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. 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.
4. 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, an object may have been overlooked
and could be accidently thrown by the mower
in any direction and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or any others allowed in
the area.
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 serious personal
injury to the operator or any others allowed in
the area.
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. The blade control handle is a safety device.
Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing
so makes the safety device inoperative and
may result in personal injury through contact
with the rotating blade. The blade control han
dle must operate easily in both directions.
7. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting
height adjustment while the engine is run-
K ning.
8. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
9. Never operate the equipment in wet grass.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall
can cause serious personal injury. 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. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop before removing
the grass catcher or unclogging the chute.
The cutting 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.
7. Before 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 spark plug to pre
vent accidental starting.
8. Do not run the engine indoors.
9. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-
down. Exercise extreme caution when chang
ing direction on slopes. Do not mow ex
cessively steep slopes. Always be sure of
your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious
personal injury.
10. Always disconnect electric mowers (line
operated) before cleaning, repairing or ad
justing.
11. Never operate mower without proper guards,
plates or other safety protective devices in
place.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness.
2. Kbep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working conditioln.
3. Ne^er store the equipment with gasoline in
the tank inside of a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark. Allow the
enjgine to cool before storing in any en
closure.
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.

USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects which could damage lawn mower
or engine. Such objects could be accidently
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
Operate a new engine at intermediate speeds and
light load for the first few hours as you would a
new automotive engine.
For best results, do not cut wet grass because it
tends to stick to the underside of the mower,
preventing proper discharge of grass clippings,
and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass,
thick grass or wet grass may require a narrower
cut. Blade speed should be adjusted to the condi
tion of the lawn.
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.
For best results, cut off one-third or less of the
total length of the grass. Lawn should be cut in
the fall as long as there is growth.
Page 10
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.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
I WARNING J
IMPORTANT
If you strike a foreign object, stop
the engine. Remove wire from spark
plug, thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and
operating the mower. Extensive
vibration of the mower during opera
tion is an indication of damage. The
unit should be promptly inspected
and repaired.
ADJUSTMENTS
A
Do not at any time make any adjust
ment to lawn mower without first
stopping engine and disconnecting
spark plug wire.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment may be made by removing and moving
axle bolts to desired position. Cutting heigtits will
be raised as axle bolts are moved to a lower hole
and lowered as axle bolts are moved to a higher
hole in the deck. All axle bolts must be mounted in
the same relative position. Belleville washers
must be assembled on the inside and outi ide of
the deck so that the cupped side of the washers
are against the deck. The spacers must be
assembled between the rear wheels ard the
belleville washers. Refer to figures 4 and 5
CAUTION
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all
moving parts. Be careful of heated
surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with
your mower for carburetor adjustment informa
tion.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT
Always stop engine and disconnect
spark plug wire before cleaning,
lubricating or doing any kind of
work on lawn mower.
Blade Control—Lubricate the pivot points on the
biade control handle and the brake cable at least
once a season with light oil. See figure 17. The
blade control must operate freely in both direc
tions.

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.
10
Page 11
Wheels—The wheels require no lubrication.
However, if the wheels are removed for any
reason, lubricate the surface of the axie boit and
the inner surface of the wheei 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 throttle control
lever and throttle wire assembly with a few drops
of light oil for ease of operation.
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, may cause damage
to the mower and could break, causing personal
injury.
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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
A
When tipping the unit, empty the
fuel tank and keep engine spark plug
side up.
CUTTING BLADE
^ waVnin^
(D
Be sure to disconnect and ground
the spark plug wire before working
on the cutting blade to prevent
accidental engine starting.
To remove the cutting blade for sharpening or
replacement, remove the center bolt and lock
washer which hold the blade and adapter to the
engine crankshaft. See figure 18. Remove the
blade and adapter from the crankshaft.
If the blade or blade adapter needs replacing,
remove the two small bolts, lock washers and nuts
which hold the blade to the adapter.
NOTE
It is recommended that the blade
always be removed from the adapter
for the best test of balance.
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.
When replacing the blade, be sure to install the
blade with the side of the blade marked “Bottom”
