SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES

Warning: THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH, IF NOT

FOLLOWED, COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF

AND OTHERS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING

TO OPERATE YOUR LAWN MOWER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL, HEED ITS WARNING.

Danger: Your lawn mower was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in

this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the

operator can result in serious injury. This lawn mower is capable of amputating hands and feet

and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious

injury or death.

GENERAL OPERATION

• Read this owner’s guide carefully in its entirety

before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,

understand, and follow all instructions on the

machine and in the manual(s) before operation. 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.

• Your rotary mower is a precision piece of power

equipment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise

extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been

designed to perform one job: to mow grass. Do not

use it for any other purpose.

• Never allow children under 14 years old to operate

a power mower. Children 14 years old and over

should only operate mower under close parental

supervision. Only responsible individuals who are

familiar with these rules of safe operation should be

allowed to use your mower.

• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,

particularly small children and pets. Stop engine

when they are in the vicinity of your mower to help

prevent blade contact or thrown object injury.

Although the area of operation should be

completely cleared of foreign objects, an object

may have been overlooked and could be

accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction

and cause serious personal injury to the operator or

any others allowed in the area.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment

is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,

bones, toys 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. Plan

your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material

toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like.

To help avoid a thrown objects injury, keep

children, bystanders and helpers at least 75 feet

from the mower while it is in operation.

• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles

during operation or while performing an adjustment

or repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects that

may be thrown from the machine in any direction.

• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-

fitting slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover

the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are

recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or

jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Never

operate a unit in bare feet, sandals, slippery or light

weight (e.g. canvas) shoes.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts. Keep clear of discharge opening at all times

as the rotating blade can cause injury.

• Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being

pulled over the foot during a fall. Do not hang on to

the mower if you are falling; release the handle

immediately.

• Never pull the mower toward you while you are

walking. If you must back the mower away from a

wall or obstruction first look down and behind, and

then follow these steps:

• Step back from the mower to fully extend your

arms.

• Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.

• Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way

toward you.

• Repeat these steps as needed.

• Do not operate the mower while under the influence

of alcohol or drugs.

• Do not engage the self-propelled mechanism on

units so equipped while starting engine.

• 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 handle must operate

easily in both directions and automatically return to

the disengaged position when released.

4

• Never operate the mower 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. If you feel you are

losing your footing, RELEASE THE BLADE

CONTROL HANDLE IMMEDIATELY and the blade

will stop rotating within three seconds.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks

or roads.

• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,

stop the engine and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• 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 until you are sure the blade has

stopped rotating.

• Never operate mower without proper guards, grass

catcher, plates or other safety protective devices in

place.

• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a

burn. Do not touch.

• Only use accessories approved for this machine by

the manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow all

instructions provided with the approved accessory.

• If situations occur which are not covered in this

manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your

dealer for assistance.

SLOPE OPERATION

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of

this manual to measure slopes before operating this

unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than

15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not

operate this unit on that area or serious injury could

result.

DO:

• Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction

on slopes.

• Watch for holes, ruts, hidden objects, or bumps.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can

cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are

losing your balance release the blade control

handle immediately and the blade will stop in less

than 3 seconds.

• ON MODELS WITH CASTER WHEELS: Lock both

front wheels so they do not pivot while mowing on

the face of slopes. To turn the mower, depress the

handle and raise the front wheels slightly.

•DO NOT:

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or

embankments. The operator could lose footing or

balance.

• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees as

shown on the slope gauge.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could

cause slipping.

• ON MOWERS WITH CASTER WHEELS: Mow on

slopes with casters unlocked since the mower has

a tendency to drift down hill.

• CHILDREN

• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not

alert to the presence of children. Children are often

attracted to the mower and the mowing activity.

Never assume that children will remain where you

last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of a responsible adult other than the

operator.

• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the

area.

• Before and while moving backwards, look behind

and down for small children or other objects.

• Never allow children under age 14 to operate the

mower. Children 14 years of age and above should

read and understand the operation instructions and

safety rules in this manual.

• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure

your vision of a child or hazard.

SERVICE

• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are extremely flammable and the

vapors are explosive.

• Use only an approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine

is running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes

before refueling.

• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any

spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may

cause a fire or explosion.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

• Never refuel machine indoors because flammable

vapors will accumulate in the area.

• Never store the machine or fuel container inside

where there is an open flame or spark such as a

gas water heater, space heater, or furnace.

• Never run an engine inside a closed area.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass,

leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel

spillage. Allow mower to cool at least 5 minutes

before storing.

5

• 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 prevent

accidental starting.

• We do not recommend the use of pressure

washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They

may cause damage to electric components,

spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use

of water will result in shortened life and reduce

serviceability.

• Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at

frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,

visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent,

cracked or worn). Replace with blade which meets

original equipment specifications listed in this

manual.

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly.

• 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 starting and operating

the mower.

• Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height

adjustment while the engine is running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear,

damage and deterioration, which could expose

moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For

safety protection, frequently check components

and replace with manufacturer’s recommended

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

Warning — Your Responsibility: Restrict the use of this power machine to persons

who read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.

To Stop Engine And Blade

•Release the blade control handle to stop the engine and the blade.

WARNING: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.

Using Your Rotary Mower

Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the 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.

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.

For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass. Your lawn should be cut in the

fall season as long as there is growth.

This mower is designed to be operated at full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most effective job of mowing

or mulching.

Warning: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from the spark plug,

thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting the mower.

Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be

promptly inspected and repaired.

Side Discharge Grass Clippings

This mower can side discharge grass clippings. Follow steps 1 and 2 to ready this mower for side discharge

operation.

Step 1. Remove three plastic wing nuts and

mulching cover. Step 2. Replace with side discharge chute and

three plastic wing nuts.

dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper

mulching, discharge or bagging.

The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug

wire is disconnected before starting to clean).

Electric Start Units Only:

Battery Pack Replacement

Remove the battery pack from the handle panel for replacement only. Do not separate the batteries for any reason.

Dispose of batteries properly.

Warning: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which may cause burns. Do not short circuit or mutilate

batteries in any way. Do not put batteries in fire as these may burst or release toxic materials.

When replacing battery pack in handle panel, battery pack must be positioned with the positive terminal to the right

hand side and the negative terminal to the left hand side of panel. Replacing the battery pack incorrectly will cause

serious damage. The positive lead on the wire harness has the smaller connector. Connect the positive lead to the

positive side of the battery pack, then connect the negative side.

The unit is equipped with an in-line fuse. If the unit fails to start, check the fuse inside the battery cover by turning the

end of the fuse holder and removing from the battery cover. Replace with standard automotive 7-1/2 amp fuse.

Storage Of The Battery

The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged battery will freeze.

IMPORTANT:

All batteries discharge during storage. Recharge battery every two months and before returning to

service. Refer to charging instructions in OPERATION section.

Cutting Blade Removal, Replacement And Sharpening

Figure 10

•When removing the cutting blade for sharpening or replacement, protect your hands by using heavy gloves or a

rag to handle the blade.

•Remove the bolt and the blade bell support which hold the blade and the adapter to the engine crankshaft.

•Remove the blade and the adapter from the crankshaft.

Warning: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object.

Replace when necessary.

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 unbalanced blade will cause

excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds. It may cause damage to the mower, and it could break causing

personal injury.

The blade can be tested by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it

balances evenly. It is recommended that the blade be removed from the adapter when testing for balance.

Before reinstalling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface

of the blade adapter with light oil.

•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.

•Slide the blade adapter onto the engine crankshaft.

•Place the blade on the adapter. Be certain the blade is aligned with and seated onto the blade adapter flanges.

•Place the blade bell support on the blade. Make sure the notches on the blade bell support are aligned with the

small holes in the blade.

•Replace hex bolt.

•Tighten hex bolt to torque: 450 in. lbs. min., 600 in. lbs. max.

NOTE: To ensure safe operation of your unit, the blade bolt must be checked periodically for correct torque.

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR:

The limited warranty set forth below is given by White Out-

door Products Co. with respect to new merchandise pur-

chased and used in the United States, its possessions and

territories.

White Outdoor Products Co. warrants this product against

defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2)

years commencing on the date of original purchase and

will, at its option, repair or replace, free of charge, any part

found to be defective in material or workmanship. This lim-

ited warranty shall only apply if this product has been oper-

ated and maintained in accordance with the Operator’s

Manual furnished with the product, and has not been sub-

ject to misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect, accident,

improper maintenance, alteration, vandalism, theft, fire,

water or damage because of other peril or natural disaster.

Damage resulting from the installation or use of any acces-

sory or attachment not approved by White Outdoor Prod-

ucts Co. for use with the product(s) covered by this manual

will void your warranty as to any resulting damages.

Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to

separate terms as follows: All normal wear part or compo-

nent failures will be covered on the product for a period of

90 days regardless of cause. After 90 days, but within the

two year period, normal wear part failures will be covered

ONLY IF caused by defects in material or workmanship of

OTHER component parts. Normal wear parts and compo-

nents include, but are not limited to, belts, blades, blade

adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow

thrower skid shoes, shave plates and tires. Batteries are

covered by a 90-day limited replacement warranty.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE: Warranty service is available,

WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL

WHITE OUTDOOR DEALER. To locate the dealer in your

area, please check for a listing in the Yellow Pages or con-

tact the Customer Dealer Referral Line of White Outdoor

Co. by calling 1-330-225-8883 or writing to P.O. Box

This limited warranty does not provide coverage in the

following cases:

a. The engine or component parts thereof. These items

carry a separate manufacturer’s warranty. Please refer

to the applicable manufacturer’s warranty on these

items.

b. Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters,

blade sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such

as brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck

adjustments; and normal deterioration of the exterior

finish due to use or exposure.

c. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders have a sepa-

rate one year warranty.

d. White Outdoor Co. does not extend any warranty for

products sold or exported outside of the United States

of America, its possessions and territories, except

those sold through White Outdoor Co. authorized

channels of export distribution.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of

merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,

applies after the applicable period of express written

warranty above as to the parts as identified. No other

express warranty or guaranty, whether written or oral,

except as mentioned above, given by any person or

entity, including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any

product shall bind White Outdoor Co. During the

period of the Warranty, the exclusive remedy is repair

or replacement of the product as set forth above.

(Some states do not allow limitations on how long an

implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not

apply to you.)

The provisions as set forth in this Warranty provide the

sole and exclusive remedy arising from the sales.

White Outdoor Co. shall not be liable for incidental or

consequential loss or damages including, without limi-

tation, expenses incurred for substitute or replace-

ment lawn care services, for transportation or for

related expenses, or for rental expenses to temporarily

replace a warranted product. (Some states do not allow

the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not

apply to you.)

In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the

amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration

of the safety features of the product shall void this War-

ranty. You assume the risk and liability for loss, damage, or

injury to you and your property and/or to others and their

property arising out of the use or misuse or inability to use

the product.

This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than

the original purchaser, original lessee or the person for

whom it was purchased as a gift.

How State Law Relates to this Warranty: This limited

warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also

have other rights which vary from state to state.
