Safe Operation Practices
en
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the mower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is respon-
sible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
a. the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
b. control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope
will not be regained by the application of the
brake. The main reasons for loss of control
are:
insufficient wheel grip;
being driven too fast;
inadequate braking;
the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task;
lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
incorrect hitching and load distribution.
For Ride-On (Riding) Rotary Mower
Machines
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear
and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment
when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment
will be used and remove all objects which may
be thrown by the machine.
3. W
WARNING-Petrol is highly flammable.
a. Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
b. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
c. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol
while the engine is running or when the engine
is hot.
d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any source
of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
e. Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
6. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage
all blade attachment clutches and shift into
neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 degrees.
5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”
slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular
care. To guard against overturning:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
b. engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in
gear, especially when travelling downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low on slopes
and during tight turns;
d. stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
e. never mow across the face of the slope, un-
less the mower is designed for this purpose.
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the Instruction Book.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.

restarting and operating the equipment;
d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately).
14. Disengage drive to attachments when transporting
or not in use.
15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to
attachment
a. before refuelling;
b. before removing the grass catcher;
c. before making height adjustment unless
adjustment can be made from the operator’s
position.
16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
17. Before and when backing, look behind and down
for small children.
18. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure
vision.
Maintenance and Storage
1. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
2. When machine will be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a
positive mechanical lock is used.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
4. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage
area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
7. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
8. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
9. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.

Maintenance Free Battery
IMPORTANT: Before you attach the battery cables to
the battery, check the battery date. The battery date
tells if the battery must be charged.
1. Check the top of the battery (1) for the location of
the battery date (see F
Figure 4
).
2. If the battery is put into service before the
battery cables can be attached without charging
the battery. See “Install the Battery Cables.
3. If the battery is put into service after the battery
must be charged. See “Charge the Battery.
Charge the Battery
WARNING
When you charge the battery, do not smoke. Keep
the battery away from any sparks. The fumes from
the ba
ttery acid can cause an explosion.
1. Remove the battery (1) and battery tray (3) (see
Figure 4
).
2. Remove the protective caps from the battery
terminals.
3. Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the battery.

mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions
to “Level the Mower Housing” in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this instruction book.
Prepare the Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled
with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type
of petrol and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read
the information on safety, operation, maintenance, and
storage.
WARNING
Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for
the type of petrol and oil to use. Always use a safety
petrol container. Do not smoke when adding petrol

Start the Engine
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is
tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will
cause the ends of the grass to turn brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will
not discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before
cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near
an object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the
right so that the cut grass will discharge away from
shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two
rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left
turns until finished.
9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease
the load on the engine. First cut with the mower
housing in the highest position and then lower the
mower housing for the second cut.
10. For better engine performance and an even
discharge of the cut grass, always operate the
engine with the throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine with
the throttle in FAST position and the shift lever in
first or second gear.
12. For better cutting performance and a quality cut,
mow with the shift lever in one of the slower
speeds.
13. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the
mower housing for better performance. Also, a
clean mower housing will help prevent a fire.
WARNING
The electrical system has an operator presence
system that includes a sensor switch for the seat.
These components tell the electrical system if the
operator is sitting on the seat. This system will stop
th
e engine when the operator leaves the seat. For
your protection, always make sure this system
operates
correctly.
NOTE: The engine will not start unless you depress the
clutch/brake pedal and move the blade rotation control
to the DISENGAGE position.
1. Push the clutch/brake pedal completely forward.
Keep your foot on the pedal.
2. Move the shift lever to the neutral (N) position.
3. Make sure the blade rotation control is in the
DISENGAGE position.
4. Move the throttle control completely forward to the
CHOKE or FAST position. Some models have a
separate choke knob. Pull the choke knob to the
full CHOKE position.
5. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after four or five
tries, move the throttle control to the FAST pos
ition.

General Recommendations
1. The owner’s responsibility is to maintain this
product. This will extend the life of the product
and is also necessary to maintain warranty
coverage.
2. Check the spark plug, drive brake, lubricate the
unit, and clean the air filter once a year.
3. Check the fasteners. Make sure all fasteners are
tight.
4. Follow the Maintenance section to keep the unit in
good operating condition.
WARNING
Before you make an inspection, adjustment, or
repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the spark
plug. Remove the wire from the spark plug to
prevent the engine from starting by accident.
NOTE: Torque is measured in foot pounds (metric Nm).
This measurement describes how tight a nut or bolt
must be.The torque is measured with a torque wrench.
Inspect the Blade
WARNING
Before you inspect or remove the blade, disconnect
the wire to the spark plug. If the blade hits an
obj
ect, stop the engine. Check the unit for damage.
The blade has sharp edges.When you hold the
blade, use gloves or cloth material to protect your
hands.
If you keep the blade (1) sharp and inspect the blade
for damage, the blade will cut better and be more safe
to operate (see F
Figure 7
). Frequently check the blade
for excessive wear, cracks,or other damage.
Frequently check the nut (3) that holds the blade (1).
Keep the nut (3) tight. If the blade hits an object, stop
the engine. Disconnect the wire to the spark plug. See
if the blade is bent or damaged. Check the blade
adapter (5) for damage.
Before you operate the unit, replace damaged parts
with original equipment parts. See the authorized serv-
ice center in your area. Every three years, have an au-
thorized service person inspect the blade or replace
the old blade with an original equipment part.
Remove and Install the Blade
1. Remove the mower housing. See the instructions
to “Remove the Mower Housing.
2. Use a piece of wood to keep the blade from
rotating.
3. Remove the nut (3) that holds the blade (1) (see
Figure 7
).
4. Check the blade and the blade adapter (5)
according to the instructions for “Inspect Blade.
Replace a badly worn or damaged blade with an
original equipment blade. See an authorized
service center in your area.
5. Clean the top and bottom of the mower housing.
Remove all the grass and debris.
6. Mount the blade and blade adapter (5) on the
mandrel (6).
7. Mount the blade so that the hi-lift edges (7) are
up. If the blade is upside down, the blade will not
cut correctly and can cause an accident.
8. Fasten the blade with the original washers and
nut (3). Make sure the outside rim of the Belleville
washer (2) is against the blade.
WARNING
Always keep the nut (3) tight that holds the blade
(1). A loose nut or blade can cause an accident.
9. Tighten the nut (3) that holds the blade to a
torque of 30 foot pounds (41,5 Nm).

Adjust the Blade Rotation Control
WARNING
To prevent an injury, the blade rotation control must
operate correctly.
In normal usage, the blade rotation control will not re-
quire an adjustment. However, it the cutting perform-
ance decreases or the quality of cut is poor, make the
following changes.
1. When you mow, make sure the throttle control is in
the FAST position.
2. Move the blade rotation control to the DIS-
ENGAGE position (1) (see F
Figure 8
).
3. Stop the engine. Disconnect the wire from the
spark plug.
4. Check the blade(s). Keep a sharp edge on the
blade(s). A blade that is not sharp will cause the
tips of the grass to become brown.
5. Disconnect the blade drive spring (2) from the
blade control rod (1) (see F
Figure 9
). Move the
blade drive spring (2) to the middle hole (4). This
will increase the tension on the mower drive belt.

distance and again check the quality of cut. If
necessary, move the blade drive spring (2) to the
bottom hole (5).
7. Again check the quality of cut. If the quality of cut
has not improved, replace the mower drive belt.
See ”Replace the Mower Drive Belt. If replacing
the belt does not correct the problem, take the unit
to an authorized service center.
8. Move the blade rotation control to the DIS-
ENGAGE position. Stop the engine.
9. Check the operation of the blade brake. Rotate the
pulleys with your hand. Make sure the brake pads
(7) are pressed tightly against the pulleys (see
Figure 10
).
WARNING
If the brake pads (7) do not press tightly against the
pulleys, take the unit to an authorized service
center.
10. Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE
position (2) (see F
Figure 8
).
11. Check the pads for the blade brake (7) (see
