IMPORTANT
National Mower Safe Operation Practices
For Riding Mowers
1.Know control functions and how to stop quickly. READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL.
2.Wear approved safety glasses or goggles when operating the mower.
3. Do not allow children to operate mower. Do not allow adults to operate mower without proper instruction.
4.Do not carry passengers. Keep children and pets at a safe distance from an operating mower.
5.Clear the work place of objects which might be picked up by the blades and thrown.
6.Disengage all reel clutches and shift into neutral before attempting to start the engine (motor). Disengage main clutch before shifting reel clutches.
7.Disengage power to the reels and stop the engine (motor) before leaving the operator’s position.
8.Disengage power to the reels and stop the engine (motor) before making any repairs or adjustments.
9.Disengage power to the reels when transporting or not in use.
10.Take all possible precautions when leaving the mower unattended, such as, shifting into neutral, setting the parking brake, stopping the engine and removing the ignition key.
11.Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Mow up and down the face of steep slopes – never across steep slopes. Do not exceed a slope of 25o in any direction.
12.Reduce travel speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Use extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
13.Watch for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
14.Watch for dangerous traffic when crossing or near roadways.
15.Never direct the discharge of material from operating reels toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the mower.
16.Handle gasoline (petro)l with CAUTION - it is highly flammable.
a.Use an approved gasoline (petrol) container.
b.Never remove the fuel tank cap or add gasoline (petrol) to a running or hot engine. Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Wipe spilled gasoline (petrol) immediately.
c.Open garage doors to allow ventilation if engine is run inside – exhaust fumes are dangerous. Do not run engine in any enclosed area.
17.Keep the mower in good operating condition. Make sure that all safety switches are operating properly and all safety guards are in place at all times, except during servicing.
18.Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure that the mower is in a safe working condition.
19.Never store the mower, with gasoline (petrol) in the tank, inside a building where fumes could reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
20.Keep the engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease to reduce a fire hazard.
21.The mower and reels should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object. The damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the mower.
22.Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
23.Proceed as follows when mowing:
a.Mow only in the daylight or in good artificial light.
b.Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine (motor) is running.
c.Shut the engine (motor) off when removing grass or unclogging reels.
24.This machine is to be used only as a grass cutter or lawn mower.
WARNING– California, USA residents are required by law (CA PRC 4442 & CA H & SC 13005) to equip their engines with spark arresters when operating in flammable vegitation. Arresters must be obtained from your engine dealer and are not available from National Mower Company.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
REAR MOWER
1.Remove two 1/2" x 1-1/2" Hex Head Bolts (1, Fig. B) and nuts from the shipping position in the Seat Hinge assembly (2, Fig. B). Position Seat Hinge Assembly with pivot facing rearward, over the seat mount of the mower frame and fasten with Bolts (1, Fig. B) and lock nuts.
2.Pivot Seat Brace (3, Fig. B) from the axle so that the top end aligns with the tab at the back of the seat hinge assembly. Fasten with a 5/16" x 1" Hex Head Bolt, Lock Washer and Hex Nut.
3.Remove the Lifter Tee (4, Fig. B) from the shipping position in the Pivot Tube (5, Fig. B) and set aside cotter pin and washer for later use. Insert the rod end of lifter tee through the slotted hole in the pad on the rear mower frame and secure with the cotter pin and washer as shown.
4.Fasten Rear Mower Pull Rod (6, Fig. B) inner leg by removing Bolts (7, Fig. B) and reinserting it through pull rod and attaching flanges on tractor axle. Note that Spacers (8, Fig. B) must be in each pivot point to allow free movement of the pull rod.
5.Attach Pull Rod (6, Fig. B) to Pivot Tube (9, Fig. B) with Pin (3, Fig. K on page 17) and Spacers (1, Fig. K). NOTE: Before completing assembly, it will be necessary to refer to the rear Mower Drive Belt Tension section and Figure K, page 17 for adjusting belt tension.
6.Install Rear Mower Belt (10, Fig. B) from Countershaft Pulley (11, Fig. B) to outer Drive Pulley (12, Fig. B). Idler Pulley (13, Fig. B) must ride on top of lower belt to provide proper tension. NOTE: It will be necessary to raise rear mower to allow enough slack to get belt over pulleys.
SEAT
1.Fasten Seat (15, Fig. B) to seat mounts by threading four 5/16" x 1" Hex Bolts (16, Fig. B), through 5/16" lockwashers, through holes in seat mounts and into the threaded holes in the bottom of the seat.
WING MOWERS
1.Remove Wing Mower Belts (17, Fig. B) from the steering column.
2.Unlock Hooks (18, Fig. B) from Wing Mower Assemblies (19, Fig. B), lower them carefully to the ground. Slip wing mower belts over Countershaft Pulleys (20, Fig. B).
3.Block mower wheels to prevent mower from moving forward. Pull Wing Mower Assemblies (19, Fig. B) forward so that they slide on Pull Rods (21, Fig. B) and compress springs. This will allow enough slack to enable belts to be installed over Reel Pulleys (22, Fig. B).
ENGINE
MOWER IS SHIPPED WITH DRY ENGINE. DO NOT START ENGINE UNTIL OIL IS ADDED TO CRANKCASE. See Engine Manual for additional information.
DIFFERENTIAL
Grease has been installed in the differential at the factory. Refer to the Maintenance Section, page 7, for additional information.
