SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 and feet, and

throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in

serious injury or death.

Thank you for choosing Swisher’s 24” Walk BehindRough Cut. Before

operating your Walk Behind, please read, understand and follow all of the safety

precautions and other instructions explained in this manual. As with all power

equipment, lawn mowers can be potentially dangerous if not properly used.

• Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.

• Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact 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.

• Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate this

machine. Never allow children to operate this machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. that can be picked up and

thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the mower

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!

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

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

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

and stop the engine.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

• Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the

mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of damage. Repair mower

as necessary.

• Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear

only solid shoes with good traction when mowing.

• Never allow operation by untrained persons.

• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before

restarting. Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra

caution when servicing them.

• Do not operate at too fast a rate.

• Disengage spark plug wire and place where it cannot make a connection.

• Check engine oil. All engines are filled with oil at the factory. Verify oil level and

add if necessary before starting engine (See Engine Owner’s Manual).

• Verify fuel level and add if necessary before starting engine.

• Reconnect spark plug wire.

• Refer to pages 5-7 in this manual for proper operating procedures.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 mower 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.

OPERATING YOUR NEW WALK BEHIND

INTENDED USE

This is not a lawn mower. The Predator is designed for cutting overgrown brush, weeds,

and other types of organic growth. This unit is capable of clearing small saplings of 1.5”

in diameter or less.

PROPULSION

The Predator is self-propelled and is controlled by a “GROUND CONTROL” lever. To

engage the drive, put the transaxle in a gear and activate the left lever. Releasing the

lever will disengage the self-propel.

Under most conditions cutting should be done in a low gear (1st or 2nd). Upper gears

should be used for conditions where weeds and brush are thinned out or not as tall. In

confined areas the machine can be pushed forwards or backwards by releasing the

“GROUND CONTROL” lever, placing the transaxle in neutral, and pushing the

machine.

TRAVEL SPEED

Speed can be varied by choosing a higher or lower gear using the gearshift lever at the

rear of the machine or by changing the engine speed with the engine throttle. Do not

adjust speed with the blade engaged. To shift the cutter into reverse, release “GROUND

CONTROL” lever, disengage blade, and rotate the shift lever to the left. When the lever

stops, lift up the reverse lockout latch and continue to move the shift lever to the left until

it stops again.

ENGAGING BLADE

An “OPERATOR PRESENCE” lever and a “BLADE ENGAGE DRIVE” control work

together to engage the Predator’s blade. Both devices must be activated before the blade

will work. Releasing the “OPERATOR PRESENCE” lever will disengage both the blade

and the “BLADE ENGAGE DRIVE” control.

STARTING THE ENGINE

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

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

• Make sure unit is level, blade is disengaged, and transaxle in “NEUTRAL”

• Check spark plug wire, oil level, and fuel level.

• Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.

• If needed set “CHOKE” to choke position.

• Flip the engine control switch to “ON” position.

• Set engine throttle control to ½ throttle position.

• Pull rope with a single fluid motion.

• After engine has started set “CHOKE” to “RUN” position.

STOPPING

• Bring the Walk Behind to a complete stop by releasing the “GROUND CONTROL”

lever. (left).

• Disengage mower blade by releasing the BLADE ENGAGE DRIVE” control (right).

• Reduce engine idle speed, and allow engine to run momentarily for cooling.

• Place transaxle in the “NEUTRAL” position.

• Flip the engine control switch to “OFF” position.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• Place two 6” wooden blocks under the deck on the side being adjusted.

• Remove nuts and bolts from the side runner.

• Slide skid up or down to preferred position.

• Replace the nuts and bolts making certain they are tightened securely.

• Repeat for the other side. Runners should be at the same height.

BREAKING IN YOUR WALK BEHIND

• Start engine properly.

• Slowly engage blade control.

• Under supervision, allow blade to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes.

• Disengage blade.

• Shift through each gear. While in each gear engage the “GROUND CONTROL” lever

and travel 20 yards to ensure transaxle works properly.

BEGIN CUTTING

• Make sure area is clear of all bystanders.

• Make sure that all guards, belt guides, and the spark plug wire are properly attached.

• Start engine, set engine throttle control at maximum engine idle speed for best results.

• Allow engine to run a few moments and slowly engage blade.

• Move transaxle into low gear and activate “GROUND CONTROL” lever.

• Turning is done by rotating the handles left or right. This machine has significant

weight and may take more effort to turn than one may expect. Turning could take

practice.

BACKING UP

• Disengage blade.

• Check behind you for safety.

• Move transaxle into “REVERSE” position.

• Activate “GROUND CONTROL” lever.

IMPORTANT: This engine is not equipped with a spark arrester muffler. It is a violation of

California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,

brush-covered, or grass-covered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

TRANSPORTING

• Shut off engine.

• Secure in place while unit is being transported.

• Unit should be left in low gear to avoid any slight rolling.

SUGGESTED PRACTICES

• Always operate engine at full throttle when cutting to assure the best cutting

performance and proper discharge of material.

• If grass is wet, allow it to dry. Wet grass clumps will collect on the bottom of the

deck.

• Go slow when cutting dense areas. Some dense areas may need to be gone over

twice. Better results occur if the second cut is 90 degrees to the first cut.

BEFORE EACH SEASON

A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

• Replace the spark plug.

• Clean or replace the air filter.

• Check blades and belts for wear.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level. Do this twice to ensure an accurate reading.

• Check condition of air filter and clean or replace if necessary.

• Check blade operation.

• Check for loose fasteners.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight and cotter pins and retainer springs are secure.

Keep blades sharp. Observe all safety precautions.

BLADE CARE AND SERVICE

For best results blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a

file or grinding wheel. Do Not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the machine.

Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked.

Important: Check blade and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are

tight.
