Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

SAFETY RULES

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the

machine and in the manual(s) before starting. Be thor-

ough ly familiar with the controls and the proper use of

the machine before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

• Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar

with the instructions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,

bones, sticks, etc., which could be picked up and thrown

by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mow-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing

open sandals. Always wear substantial foot wear.

• Do not pull mower backwards unless absolutely nec-

es sary. Always look down and behind before and while

moving backwards.

• Do not operate the mower without proper guards,

plates, grass catcher or other safety protective devices

in place.

• See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation

and installation of accessories. Only use accessories

approved by the manufacturer.

• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks,

or roads.

• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equip-

ment, before cleaning the mower or unclogging the

chute.

• Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes

to complete stop before removing grass catch er.

• Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence

of alcohol or drugs.

• Never operate machine in wet grass. Always be sure of

your footing: keep a fi rm hold on the handle and walk;

never run.

• Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch

on mowers so equipped before starting the engine (mo-

tor).

• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,

stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side

shields when operating mower.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents

which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra

caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down. Exer-

cise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

DO NOT:

• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.

The operator could lose footing or balance.

• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause

slipping.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the machine and the mowing activity.

Never

assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the trimming area and under the

watchful care of another re spon si ble adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the

area.

• Before and while walking backwards, look behind and

down

for small children.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

They are fl ammable and vapors are explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the

engine running. Allow engine to cool before

refueling. Do not smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel container inside

where there is an open fl ame, such as a water

heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine

(motor) running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and

keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental

starting.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachement

bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to

cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while

the engine (motor) is running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

com po nents and replace with manufacturer’s rec om -

mend ed parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s)

or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing

them.

• Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed

the engine.

HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum per-

formance. Speed is not adjustable.

ENGINE ZONE CONTROL

CAUTION: Federal regulations require

an engine control to be installed on this

lawn mower in order to minimize the risk

of blade contact injury. Do not un der

any cir cum stanc es attempt to defeat

the function of the operator control.

The blade turns when the engine is

running.

• Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator presence

control bar which requires the operator to be positioned

behind the lawn mower handle to start and operate the

lawn mower.

DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)

• Self-propelling is controlled by hold ing the operator

presence control bar down to the handle and pulling

the drive control bar up to the handle. The closer to the

handle the bar is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.

• Forward motion will stop when either the operator pres-

ence control bar or drive control bar are released. To

stop forward motion without stop ping engine, re lease

the drive control bar only. Hold op er a tor presence control

bar down against handle to con tin ue mowing without

self-propelling.

NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will

not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to

disengage drive wheels.

• To keep drive control engaged when turning corners,

push down on the handle to lift the front wheels off the

ground while turning lawn mower.

DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 3)

Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”,

resulting in decreased speed. There is a thumbscrew on

the un der side of the drive control housing to increase ten-

sion on the drive cable. Pro ceed as follows:

1. Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark

plug.

2. Rotate thumbscrew counter-clockwise to tighten the

drive cable.

3. Operate mower to test drive speed.

4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps (for-

ward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn

and should be re placed.

NOTE: If mower begins to “creep” forward, the drive cable

is too tight. Rotate thumbscrew clockwise to loosen drive

cable.

The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or

performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety

mask over spectacles.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 4)

Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels for high cut,

adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Me di um

position is best for most lawns.

• To change cutting height, squeeze adjuster lever to ward

wheel. Move wheel up or down to suit your re quire ments.

Be sure all wheels are in the same setting.

NOTE: Adjuster is properly positioned when plate tab inserts

into hole in lever. Also, 9-position adjusters (if so equipped)

allow lever to be positioned between the plate tabs.

TO CONVERT MOWER

Your lawn mower was shipped ready to be used as a

mulcher. To convert to bagging or discharging:

REAR BAGGING (See Fig. 5)

• Lift rear door of the lawn mower and place the grass

catcher frame hooks onto the door pivot pins.

• To convert to mulching or dis charg ing operation, remove

grass catch er and close rear door.

SIDE DISCHARGING (See Fig. 6)

• Rear door must be closed.

• Open mulcher door and install dis charge defl ector

under door as shown.

• Mower is now ready for discharging operation.

• To convert to mulching or bagging operation, dis charge

defl ector must be removed and mulcher door must be

closed.

OPERATION

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 8)

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank fi ller neck. Do not over-

fi ll. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with

a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open fl ame.

Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol

or using ethanol or methanol) can at-

tract moisture which leads to separation

and for ma tion of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-

tem of an engine while in storage. To

avoid engine problems, the fuel system

should be emptied before stor age of

30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank,

start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use

fresh fuel next season. See Storage

In struc tions for additional information.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, release operator presence control bar.

Wait until blade and all moving parts have stopped and

turn fuel valve to OFF position if you do not intend to

re start the engine soon.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 9)

NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small

amount of smoke may be present during the initial use of

the product and should be considered normal.

1. Be sure fuel valve is in the ON po si tion.

2. Move choke lever to ON ( ) position.

3. Hold operator presence control bar down to the han dle

and pull starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter rope

to snap back.

NOTE: The choke lever automatically begins moving to

the OFF position when operator presence control bar is

held down to handle.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

ADD OIL (See Figs. 7 and 8)

Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine. For type

and grade of oil to use, see “EN GINE” in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

CAUTION: DO NOT overfi ll engine with

oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muf-

fl er on startup.

1. Be sure lawnmower is level.

2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fi ll spout.

3. You receive a container of oil with the unit. Slowly

pour the entire container down the oil fi ll spout into the

engine.

4. Insert and tighten dipstick.

IMPORTANT:

• Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill

to full line on dipstick.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or each

season. You may need to change the oil more often

under dusty, dirty conditions. See “TO CHANGE EN-

GINE OIL” in the Maintenance section of this manual.

OPERATION

MOWING TIPS

• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it

may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce

pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine

and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be

necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn

mower over the area a second time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut

by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,

the engine speed should be set in the fast position.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become fi lled with

dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less

grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with

water and let dry before using.

• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of

grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air fl ow

and extend engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. SEE

“CLEANING” IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.

• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clip-

pings many times and reduce them in size so that as

they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass

and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biode-

grade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always

mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this

will provide the best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends

to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.

The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.

At this time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut area

will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height

so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third

of the grass blades (See Fig. 10). If the lawn is over-

grown it will be necessary to raise the height of cut to

reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading

the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For

extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut by

overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require

that an area be mulched a second time to completely

hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow

across (perpendicular) to the fi rst cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow

north to south one week then change to east to west the

next week. This will help prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that

have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To

receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain

mower as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your unit.

At least once a season, check to see if you should make

any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-

just ments section of this manual.

• At least once a year, replace the spark plug, clean or

replace air fi lter element and check blade for wear. A

new spark plug and clean/new air fi lter element assure

proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better

and last longer.

• Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.

2. Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated (See “LUBRICATION CHART”).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE PLASTIC WHEEL

BEARINGS. VISCOUS LU BRI CANTS WILL ATTRACT DUST

AND DIRT THAT WILL SHORT EN THE LIFE OF THE SELF-

LU BRI CAT ING BEARINGS. IF YOU FEEL THEY MUST BE

LU BRI CATED, USE ONLY A DRY, POW DERED GRAPHITE

TYPE LUBRICANT SPAR INGLY.

11

MAINTENANCE

LAWN MOWER

Always observe safety rules when performing any main-

te nance.

TIRES

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chem-

i cals which can harm rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and

other hazards that may cause tire damage.

DRIVE WHEELS

Check front drive wheels each time be fore you mow to be

sure they move freely.

The wheels not turning freely means trash, grass cuttings,

etc. are in the drive wheel area and must be cleaned to

free drive wheels.

If necessary to clean the drive wheels, be sure to clean

both front wheels.

1. Remove hubcaps, locknuts and washers.

2. Remove wheels from wheel ad just ers.

3. Remove any trash or grass cuttings from inside the

dust cover, pinion and/or drive wheel gear teeth.

4. Put wheels back in place.

NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels do not turn freely,

contact a qualifi ed service center.

BLADE CARE

For best results, mower blade must be kept sharp. Re place

bent or dam aged blades.

TO REMOVE BLADE (See Fig. 11)

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place

wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

2. Turn lawn mower on its side. Make sure air fi lter and

carburetor are up.

3. Use a wood block between blade and mower hous ing

to prevent blade from turning when re mov ing blade bolt.

NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade

with heavy cloth.

4. Remove blade bolt by turning counter-clockwise.

5. Remove blade and attaching hardware (bolt, lock wash er

and hardened wash er).

NOTE: Remove the blade adapter and check the key inside

hub of blade adapter. The key must be in good condition to

work properly. Replace adapter if dam aged.

TO REPLACE BLADE (See Fig. 11)

1. Position the blade adapter on the engine crank shaft.

Be sure key in adapter and crankshaft key way are

aligned.

2. Position blade on the blade adapter aligning the two

(2) holes in the blade with the raised lugs on the

adapter.

3. Be sure the trailing edge of blade (opposite sharp edge)

is up toward the engine.

4. Install the blade bolt with the lock washer and hard ened

washer into blade adapter and crank shaft.

• The recommended tightening torque is 35-40 ft. lbs.

IMPORTANT: BLADE BOLT IS HEAT TREATED. IF BOLT NEEDS

REPLACING, REPLACE ONLY WITH APPROVED BOLT SHOWN

IN THE REPAIR PARTS SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp en ing blade - but if

you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An

un bal anced blade will cause eventual damage to lawn

mower or engine.

• The blade can be sharp ened with a fi le or on a grinding

wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

• To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or

wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail ex posed.

Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal

position. If either end of the blade moves downward,

sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

GRASS CATCHER

• The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must

be dry when used.

• Check your grass catcher often for damage or de te -

ri o ra tion. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher

needs replacing, replace only with ap proved replace-

ment catcher shown in the Repair Parts section of this

manual. Give the lawn mower model number when

ordering.

GEAR CASE

• To keep your drive system working properly, the gear

case and area around the drive should be kept clean

and free of trash build-up. Clean under the drive cover

twice a season.

• The gear case is fi lled with lubricant to the proper

level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs

attention is if service has been performed on the gear

case.

• If lubricant is required, use only ELF Multis EP00.

Do not substitute.

12

MAINTENANCE

5. Fill engine with oil. The engine oil capacity is 18.5 oz.

If oil is not com plete ly drained from engine, you may

not need the entire container of a 20 oz. bottle of oil.

Slowly pour 3/4 of the oil from the container down the

oil fi ll spout into the engine.

6. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle. Use guage on oil

fi ll cap/dipstick for checking level. Insert dipstick into

the tube and rest the oil fi ll cap on the tube. DO NOT

thread the cap into the tube when taking reading.

7. Continue adding small amounts of oil and rechecking

the dipstick until it reads full. DO NOT overfi ll, or engine

will smoke on startup.

8. Always be sure to retighten oil dipstick before starting

engine.

9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.

AIR FILTER

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged

by using a dirty air fi lter. Replace the air fi lter every 100

hours of operation or every season, whichever occurs fi rst.

Ser vice air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. See

the main te nance section of your engine manual.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it could create a

fi re hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season

or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs

fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in the

“PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN

THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER EACH USE.

CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire

from spark plug and place wire where

it cannot come in contact with plug.

• Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scraping

to remove build-up of grass and trash.

• Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating. A

clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.

• Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,

oil, etc.

• We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean

lawn mower unless the electrical system, muffl er, air

fi lter and carburetor are covered to keep water out.

Water in engine can result in shortened engine life.

CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER

Clean under drive cover at least twice a season. Scrape un-

derside of cover with putty knife or similar tool to remove any

build-up of trash or grass on underside of drive cover.

NOTE: Multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve

starting in cold weather, and you should check your engine

oil level frequently to avoid possible engine damage from

running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the lawn mower is not used for 25 hours in

one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each fi ve (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil

plug securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 12)

NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to drain oil, empty fuel

tank by running engine until fuel tank is empty.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place

wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

STORAGE

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS

(CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL)

CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION

AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS

CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN

STORAGE.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting

it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-

mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.

Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-

gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

CYLINDER

1. Remove spark plug.

2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole

into cylinder.

3. Pull starter handle slowly a few times to distribute oil.

4. Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give

protection from dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe, which allows condensation to form and

will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER MOWER WHILE ENGINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

CAUTION: Never store the lawn mower

with gasoline in the tank inside a build-

ing where fumes may reach an open

fl ame or spark. Allow the engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

Immediately prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
