the spark plug, to prevent accidental starting the engine when setting up,

transporting, adjusting or making repairs.

• Keep all shields and guards in place.

• Understand the speed, steering and stability of this machine. Know the positions

and operations of all controls before you operate this machine. Check all of the

controls in a safe area before starting to work with this machine.

discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters

the mowing area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing

activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

• No riders on this unit at any time.!

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge

opening at all times.

• Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this

manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that

follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury.

Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw

injury or death.

•

Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the

blades and stop the engine.

•

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

a file or grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the cutter.

Disconnect

spark plug wire before servicing unit.

WARNIN :

To avoid serious injury, operate your mower up and down the face

of slopes, NEVER across the face. DO NOT MOW SLOPES REATER THAN 15 DE REES!

(SEE DIA RAM ON PA E 15 )

FRONT MOUNTING MOWER TO VEHICLE—[figure page-16]

•

Securely attach Mount Kit to vehicle. [ As shown in kit mounting instructions ]

•

Park vehicle at rear of mower.

•

Casters should be able to rotate freely 360 degrees

•

Using clips and washers attach mower to vehicle.

•

Fix console assembly securely to vehicle using enclosed Velcro strips with adhesive.

•

Fix wire harness tubing to hitches using Velcro straps.

The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the

eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or

wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and

while operating such a machine.

The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the

human ear. Ear protection is recommended.

CAUTION!

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.

STARTING THE ENGINE

• See engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.

Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

• Park vehicle and mower on a level surface, set the vehicle parking brake, and disengage

blades.

• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

• Check all electrical connections.

• Make certain console assembly is secured to vehicle.

• Set engine throttle control to the “CHOKE” position.

• Turn key switch to the “START” position

• Set engine throttle at desired RPM.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Turn key switch to the “OFF” position.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

• Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

• Start engine.

• Engage blades.

• In a safely monitored environment, i.e. no children, allow blades to rotate and engine to

idle for 5 minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine.

• Stop mower.

MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• Never make any adjustments while mower is running.

• The cutting range is approximately 1.5” to 4.5”. The heigh

t has been measured from the

ground to the blade tip without the engine running.

• Rotate height adjust crank handles in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck. A

counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.

• Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side crank handles. For best results, see

“SU ESTED MOWIN PRACTICE” section. Graduated scales are for reference

only, not the actual cutter height.

• Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment.

START MOWING

• Clear mowing area of debris.

• Check vehicle to mower connection.

• Start mower engine.

• Engage clutch lever.

• Begin mowing slowly.

CAUTION!

SHUT OFF MOWER EN INE AND REMOVE SPARK PLU WIRE FROM

SPARK PLU BEFORE MAKIN ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

STOP MOWING

• Bring vehicle to a full stop.

• Disengage clutch lever by moving lever to center position.

• Turn key switch to “OFF” position.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

• Never transport unit with engine running.

• If transporting unattached from tow vehicle, remove spark plug wire and place it where

contact with the spark plug cannot be made.

SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES

• Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and

maximum material discharge.

• Allow wet grass to dry. Clumps of wet grass will collect under the mowing deck.

• Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe

mowing conditions permit. This speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to over

3” during the hot months.

• For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics, your lawn should be mowed often and after

moderate growth.

• When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly. Some areas may need to be cut twice.

The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible.

• Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass length at any one time

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

• The mower does not cut level.

o Level deck, making sure height adjustments are equal.

o Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal (about 25-30 psi).

o Check blade attachment.

• The engine will not start.

o Disengage blades, turn switch to “OFF” position, check all electrical connections,

and inspect spark plug and wire.

• Engine runs poorly.

o See engine manual.

o Check throttle adjuster.

o Replace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line.

IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE

MOWER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU ARE

NOT SURE IS CORRECT. DOIN SO CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS.
