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.
,

Stop engine (motor) whenever you leave the equipment, before cleaning mower housing, and when making
any repairs or inspections.

When cleaning, repairing or inspecting,make certain blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect

TOOLS REQUIRED: 7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver (11/16" Wrench needed to adjust Clutch Tension)
NOTE: Reference to left or right side
of the mower is from operator's
position at the handle, facing fonNard.
The lawn mower is fully assembled
except for the handle throttle control,
drive control rod and clutch control
rod. Everything is packed and shipped
in one container.
ASSEMBLY:
1. CARTON REMOVAL
Cut the back panel, lay down pull
mower backwards.
2. PARTS ID
3. TOOLS REQUIRED
7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver
(11/16" Wrench needed to adjust
Clutch Tension)
STEP 1: Remove the grass catcher,
handle assembly, and rods from the box
(see Fig. 1, grass catcher not shown).
STEP 2: Attaching the handle: remove
the bolts retaining the panel to the lower
handle. You need six bolts to mount the
handle. Two of the six bolts were those
you just removed. The other four are
supplied with loose hardware in the
plastic bag. (see Fig. 2) Take the bottom
section of the handle (Fig. 3) and install
a bolt through the brace, the upper
handle section, and the panel or
bracket. Put a nut on each bolt and
secure the panel or bracket on both
sides of the handle.
NOTE: The three holes in the upper
handle must be aligned with the three
holes in the lower handle. The handle
brace is put on the outside of the
upper handle. Slip on the handle
grips. Soaking in hot water may ease
assembly.
DRIVE CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLY:
(see Fig. 4 & 5)
1. Assemble drive control rod (one
piece rod with both ends bent), by
inserting one bent end in the drive
control lever bearing and inserting
the other end in the drive pivot rod.
2. Secure the control rod with cotter pins.
ENGINE CLUTCH CONTROL ROD
ASSEMBLY: (see Fig. 6)
1. The clutchcontrol rod consistsof one
long rod with one bent end, one
coupler, two lock nuts and one short
rod with one bent end.

2. Assemble the clutch control rod by
inserting the short rod bent end in the
clutch bearing. The end of the rod
must be outside the belt (Fig. 6).

D. Refer to the operation instructions before using mower.
f

IMPORTANT

Without trapping belt, be sure
rod is on the outside of belt.

3. insert the bent end of the long rod
in the clutch lever bearing.
4. Insert a cotter pin in each bent end,
but do not secure until final
adjustment is made.
IMPORTANT! ENGINE CLUTCH ROD
TENSION ADJUSTMENT: (Fig. 7)
1. Lift the engine clutch lever to the
handle. If there is a slight tension on
the belt, the adjustment should be
correct. The tension should be just
enough to propel the mower and reel
without the belt slipping on the pulley.
EXCESSIVE TENSION WILL REDUCE
BELT LIFE AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE MOWER.
2 Check for correct belt tension"

FIGURE 1: These parts, and the
grass catcher, should have been
removed from the shipping carton.

CAUTION !
A. Remove spark plug wire, engage
the clutch by lifting the clutch
lever to the handle and pull on
the rope starter.

Upper handle

B. If the reel turns, the tension should
be correct, however, be sure to
check if the idler bearing is putting
excessive tension on the belt.

C. If reel does not turn, more tension
is needed. Final adjustment can be
made after reel is operating.

time until the tension is correct.

C. When the tension is correct, insert
the upper rod into the clutch lever
handle, secure the cotter pins at
both ends of the control rod and
tighten the lock nuts to the coupler.
At this time, replace the spark plug
wire.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The mower is shipped with axle in the middle position and
the cutting heights listed above are achieved with the axle
in this position. The rear axle must be lowered to the high
position (Fig. 14) to achieve the 1-1/2" cutting height.

The cutting height is adjustable from 1/4" x 1-1/2". The front
wheet assembly bar may be moved in 3-holes on the side
panels to adjust the height. (Refer to FIG. 13) The two top
cutting height adjustment holes, A & B are used for all
height adjustments except for the 1-1/2" height. Hole C is
only used for the 1-t/2"' adjustment.

REAR AXLE ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Drain the gas and oil from the engine. Turn mower so the
front wheels and the engine are resting on the gournd or
work benchtop.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL RECOMMENDATION
1. The spark plug and air filtershouldbe
replaced once a year. This will assure
better engine performance and longer
engine life.
2. Check all fasteners and be sure they are
tight.
3. Follow all maintenance instructions
listed on the following pages an the
service schedule.

b. Rinse thoroughly with flowingwater
from inside out untilwater is dear.
¢. Allow cartridge to stand and air dry
thoroughly before using.
DO NOT OIL CAR'R:IIDGF..
DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR
TO CLEAN OR DRY CARTRIDGE.

4. Install cartridge, then cover and screw
knob securely.See F_jure 17.

LUBRICATION
Check oil level regularly.Oil all exposed
bearings, linage andfront wheels.Oil chain
frequently. Reel and main drive bearings
are sealed.
REEL MAINTENANCE
Normally grinding of" the reel is not
recommended or necessary to insure
propercutting.This is due to the extreme
hardness and great strength of the reel.
Sharpening and back lapping when
required, should always be done by a
properly equipped service center.
