Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers.  
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could  
result in serious injury or death.  
and above, are involved in a large percent-  
age of riding mower related injuries. These  
operators should evaluate their ability to op-  
erate a riding mower safely enough to protect  
themselves and others from serious injury.  
2. Be alert and turn the engine off if children  
enter the area.  
3. Before and when backing, look behind and

1. Read, understand and follow all instructions  
in the Instruction Book, on the machine, the  
engine and with any attachments before  
starting.  
down for small children.  
4. Never carry children or any passengers,  
even with the blades off. They may fall off  
and be seriously injured or interfere with the  
safe operation of the machine.  
5. Never allow children to operate the machine.  
Instruct children in the potential dangers of  
the machine.  
6. Use extra care when approaching blind cor-  
ners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may  
obscure vision.  
2. Only allow responsible adults, who are famil-  
iar with the instructions, to operate the ma-  
chine.  
II. Slope operation  
Slopes and rough terrain are major factors  
related to loss-of-control and tip-over acci-  
dents, which can result in severe injury or  
death. ALL slopes require extra caution. If  
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel  
uneasy on the slope, do not mow it. See the  
“Slope Guide” in the back of this book to  
check for safe operation.  
3. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys,  
wire, etc., which could be picked up and  
thrown by the blade.  
4. Be sure the area is clear of other people be-  
fore mowing. Stop the machine if anyone en-  
ters the area.  
5. Never carry passengers.  
IV. Service  
6. Turn off power to the blades or any attach-  
ments before backing up. Do not mow in re-  
verse unless absolutely necessary. Always  
look down and behind before and while back-  
ing.  
DO  
1. Use extra care when handling gasoline and  
other fuels. Fuels are flammable and the va-  
pors are explosive.  
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.  
2. Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs,  
etc...  
3. Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven ter-  
rain could overturn the machine. Tall grass  
can hide obstacles.  
a. Use only an approved container.  
b. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel  
with the engine running. Allow the engine to  
cool for several minutes before refueling. Do-  
not smoke.  
c. Never refuel the machine indoors.  
d. Never store the machine with fuel in the  
tank or fuel container inside where there is  
an open flame, such as a water heater.  
7. Be aware of the mower discharge direction  
and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate  
the mower without either the entire grass  
bagger or the mower guard in place.  
4. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough gear  
so that you will not have to stop or shift while  
on the slope.  
8. Slow down before turning.  
9. Never leave a machine unattended with the  
engine running. Always turn off the blade(s),  
set the parking brake, stop the engine and  
remove the key before dismounting.  
5. Use slow speed on slopes. Do not make  
sudden speed changes.  
2. Never start or run the engine inside a closed  
area.  
6. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations  
for wheel weights or counterweights to im-  
prove stability.  
10. Turn off power to attachment(s) when trans-  
porting or not in use. Turn off the blade(s)  
when not mowing.  
3. Keep all nuts and bolts, especially the blade  
attachment nuts tight. Frequently check the  
blade(s) for wear or damage such as cracks  
and nicks. A blade that is bent or damaged  
must be immediately replaced with an origi-  
nal equipment blade from an authorized ser-  
vice dealer. For safety, replace the blade  
every two years. Keep the equipment in good  
condition.  
4. Never tamper with the safety devices. Check  
their proper operation regularly.  
5. To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine  
free of grass, leaves or other debris build-up.  
Clean up oil or fuel spills. Allow the machine  
to cool before storing.  
7. Use extra care with grass baggers or other  
attachments, they can change the stability of  
the machine.  
11. Stop the engine before removing the grass  
bagger or unclogging the chute.  
8. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and  
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in  
speed or direction.  
9. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires  
lose traction, turn off the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
12. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
13. Do not operate the machine while under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs or when very  
tired.  
14. Watch for traffic when operating near or  
crossing roadways.  
DO NOT  
15. Use extra caution when loading or unloading  
the machine into a trailer or truck.  
16. Turn off all attachment clutches before at-  
tempting to start the engine.  
1. Do not turn on slopes unless absolutely nec-  
essary, then only turn slowly and gradually  
downhill, if possible.  
2. Do not mow drop-offs, ditches or embank-  
ments. A wheel over the edge or an edge  
caving in could cause a sudden overturn and  
an injury or death.  
6. Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike  
an object. Repair, if necessary, before re-  
starting.  
7. Never make adjustments or repairs with the  
engine running. The carburetor can be ad-  
justed with the engine running. Do not  
change the engine governor settings or  
over-speed the engine.  
17. Always wear goggles, safety glasses, or an  
eye shield when you operate the unit to pro-  
tect your eyes from foreign objects that can  
be thrown from the unit. Always wear eye  
protection when you make an adjustment or  
repair to the machine.  
3. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction  
could cause sliding.  
4. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting

equipment.  
your foot on the ground.  
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.  
b. Limit loads to those you can safely con-  
trol.  
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when back-  
ing.  
8. Grass bagger components are subject to  
wear, damage and deterioration, which could  
expose moving parts or allow objects to be  
thrown. For storage, always make sure the  
grass bag is empty. Frequently check com-  
ponents and replace with manufacturer’s rec-  
ommended parts when necessary.  
9. Mower blade(s) are sharp and can cut. Wrap  
the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra  
caution when servicing them or the blade  
housing area.  
5. Do not use a grass bagger or other rear  
mounted accessories on steep slopes (great-  
er than 10 degrees).  
III. Children  
d. Use counterweights or wheel weights  
when suggested in the Instruction Book.  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is  
not alert to the presence of children. Chil-  
dren are often attracted to the machine and  
the mowing activity. NEVER assume that  
children will remain where you last saw  
them.  
19. Do not operate this machine if you are taking  
drugs or other medication which can cause  
drowsiness or affect your ability to operate  
this machine.  
20. Do not use this machine if you are mentally  
or physically unable to operate this machine  
safely.  
10. Check the brake operation frequently. Adjust  
and service as required.  
11. Wait for all movement to stop before servic-  
ing any part of the unit.

battery. Even small batteries have enough volt-  
age to cause an injury. Always be careful.  
SAFE MOWING GUIDE  
Each person that operates power equipment  
must learn to use correct and safe mowing pro-  
cedures. To help you learn, carefully read the  
following pages. Most of the time the operator  
was not correctly shown or did not read the in-  
structions on the unit or in the Instruction Book  
before using the unit. Also, some operators do  
not have enough experience. The result is un-  
safe use, endangering the operator, bystanders  
and the equipment. Another result can be a poor  
appearance of the area mowed.  
The mower is designed to be operated by one  
person. Never let another person ride with you  
on the unit or on any accessories. A passenger  
will make the unit harder to control, block the  
visibility or distract the operator and is danger-  
ous to the operator, the passenger and the  
equipment. Without a passenger seat, the pas-  
senger can fall from the mower or contact dan-  
gerous parts. A mower is not a toy for showing  
off or for giving rides.  
Read this book. Read the instructions on the  
unit. Operate the mower according to the Safe  
Mowing Guide. Follow all safety rules, cautions  
or warnings in this book and on the unit. Make  
sure anyone that uses the unit reads the instruc-  
tions and is told how to safely operate the mow-  
er.  
Check the terrain of the area to be mowed. Mow  
in a pattern that will keep you away from danger-  
ous areas. Check the distance you need to stop  
and the distance available to turn. Slopes and  
rough terrain must be mowed carefully and  
some areas must not be mowed at all. With rid-  
ing mowers, mow up and down the hill. When  
you must mow rough terrain or on slopes, drive  
slowly and stop in these areas only in an emer-  
gency. Before you ride up or down a slope, try  
to back straight up the slope. Do not ride up or  
down a slope that is too steep to back straight  
up. See the “Guide” in the back of this Instruc-  
tion Book to check any slopes.  
Never cut a wet lawn. Wet grass can cause an  
accident, affect mower performance and can  
cause problems with future lawn growth and ap-  
pearance. Wet grass is slippery and can cause  
the mower to slip. Someone can get injured by  
touching the blade(s). Wet grass tends to clog  
the mower, causing poor discharge. Cut wet  
grass will collect on the lawn, retarding the  
growth of the grass. Also, getting the mower wet  
will cause parts to rust and decrease the life of  
the unit.  
The mower will give you good service and dura-  
bility, if operated in normal conditions. If the  
mower is not correctly serviced or is used where  
the terrain is rough or unsuitable, product per-  
formance and safety will be decreased.  
Correct clothing is an important part of safe  
mowing. Safety glasses will protect the eyes  
from objects discharged by the mower. Safety  
shoes with steel plates can protect a foot from  
injury by the blade. For protection from objects  
discharged from the mower, wear clothing that  
will cover the arms and legs.  
Before you start cutting, make sure the mower  
was completely assembled according to the In-  
struction Book. If the mower was completely as-  
sembled at the store, you must still check the  
mower according to the assembly instructions.  
Make sure the mower is correctly assembled  
and that all fasteners are tight. Make sure the  
engine has the correct amount of oil. Check  
these items often during the life of the mower.  
Your mower has a gasoline engine. Gasoline is  
a dangerous fuel. Keep gasoline only in an ap-  
proved safety gasoline container. Do not keep  
large amounts of gasoline. When you add gaso-  
line to the fuel tank, do not smoke. Store the  
gasoline container and the mower in an area  
that has good ventilation. Also, keep the gaso-  
line away from any flames like the pilot light of a  
furnace or any other source of ignition. If the  
mower is to be stored for more than a few  
weeks, remove the gasoline from the fuel tank.  
When inside an enclosure, do not add gasoline  
to the fuel tank. Before you add gasoline, move  
the mower outside and add gasoline carefully.  
Before you start the engine, remove any gaso-  
line from the outside of the fuel tank or from the  
mower. Warm gasoline will expand. Leave some  
space in the fuel tank for the gasoline to expand.  
Also, the fuel cap has a vent hole for fuel va-  
pors. Always use the correct fuel cap. Failure to  
follow safety rules about gasoline will cause fires  
and explosions, injury to you and damage to the  
When you look over the lawn, remember ob-  
stacles that cannot be removed, like pipes,  
stumps or rocks. Keep away from these ob-  
stacles that can cause damage to the mower or  
injury to the operator or a person near the mow-  
er. Clear the area of rocks, toys, wire or other  
loose objects. These items can damage the  
mower or can be discharged by the mower  
blade. The blade of a power mower rotates very  
fast. It can discharge rocks and other objects  
over a long distance which can be dangerous.  
The force of the objects can break windows,  
cause injuries or even put an eye out. Most of  
the time the injury is to a person, like a child.  
Keep every person completely away from the  
area to be mowed. Make sure the grass is not  
discharged toward anyone. Planning your mow-  
ing pattern has a double advantage. It can de-  
crease the possibility of an injury and make the  
clean up after mowing easier.  
Before you start cutting the grass, practice using  
the mower in a large open and level area. Learn  
the location of the controls on the mower. Know  
the purpose of the controls and how they work.  
In an emergency, how fast you can stop the  
blade is important. Learn how to control the  
mower at all times.  
Many engines are started by hand. When you  
use a pull start or rope start, place your feet  
apart and away from the blade(s). Hold the rope  
handle tight. Never wrap the rope around your  
arm or fingers for a “better grip”. To start the en-  
gine, follow the instructions on the mower, in this  
book and in the engine operating instructions.  
For electric start engines, sit in the seat to start  
the engine. The battery can be dangerous. Fol-  
low the instructions on the battery, the acid con-  
tainer, and in this book when working with the

equipment and other property.  
need service, select an Authorized Service Cen-  
ter for your mower. If you do the work on the  
unit, follow the instructions in the Instruction  
Book.  
Select the maximum engine and ground speed  
that is right for the terrain and the height of the  
grass. The blade cuts best when the engine is  
operating at maximum speed. The engine and  
transmission will also run cooler at maximum  
engine speed. Also, the grass bagger will func-  
tion better when the engine is operating at maxi-  
mum speed. On slopes, decrease the ground  
speed and use care making sure the mower  
feels safe to operate.  
If the weather conditions are bad, do not mow. If  
weather conditions become bad, stop cutting  
and finish later. It is dangerous to cut grass in  
the rain. Always find protection in an electrical  
storm. If the weather conditions are extra dry,  
protect your eyes with safety glasses from the  
dust and from the objects discharged by the  
mower. Also, a dust or a pollen mask can help.  
If you add gasoline to an engine that is running  
or hot, the result can be an explosion. Before  
you add gasoline, stop the engine and let the  
engine cool for several seconds. Remove dry  
grass and other debris from the mower. Keep  
the mower clean to improve the performance,  
help the engine and transmission run cooler,  
extend the life of moving parts, and decrease  
the danger of a fire.  
When you mow, remember that children are at-  
tracted to the mower. Always use caution when  
mowing around obstacles like trees or shrubs or  
when moving backward. Only mow in a forward  
direction if possible. Your visibility is decreased  
when you mow backward. Also, the blades are  
made to cut while the unit is moving forward. If  
you mow backward, the cutting performance  
decreases.  
Fires and explosions are not the only dangers  
when working around a mower. The engine,  
transmission, and the muffler will get hot in sev-  
eral minutes when the engine is running. Do not  
touch these parts of the mower. Stop the engine.  
Let the engine and transmission cool before  
servicing the mower. Remember, exhaust fumes  
are dangerous. Never operate the engine inside  
a building.  
Your mower is equipped with a number of safety  
devices which are important to the safety of the  
operator and bystanders and must never be  
changed or removed from the mower. If a safety  
device is lost, damaged or no longer functions,  
repair or replace the device before you operate  
the mower.  
When you get a new mower, it can be a new  
experience for the family. Tell each person how a  
mower can be dangerous. Remember, a mower  
is not a toy. A mower is not to be used by chil-  
dren or anyone not old enough, strong enough  
or that does not have experience.  
Before you leave the mower, stop the engine.  
Remove the key. Disengage and lower any at-  
tachment. Set the parking brake. Never mount  
or dismount from the seat while the engine is  
running. An accident can occur if you touch the  
brake, speed control pedal, throttle, or blade  
control while the engine is running. Mount and  
dismount from the seat on the side of the unit  
that is marked ENTER-EXIT.  
It is best to mow during the day. If you must  
mow at night, make sure there is enough light  
for safe operation.  
If the mower is not correctly assembled, not op-  
erated correctly, or not regularly serviced, the  
mower can be dangerous. The most important  
rule to follow is always use good judgement and  
common sense. Mow safely and carefully.  
Your mower will require regular maintenance  
and service. The maintenance schedule de-  
pends on the hours of use. Also, mowing condi-  
tions can change the schedule. Check the  
Instruction Book for more information. Correct  
maintenance will help the mower function safely.  
Your mower will easily cut thick grass. Fingers,  
feet and other parts can also be cut by the  
blade. Injuries occur when the operator does not  
think and reaches into the chute opening. Al-  
ways operate the mower as if the blade is rotat-  
ing. Do not service or make an adjustment,  
except to the carburetor, while the engine is run-  
ning.  
Do not service the mower  
(except for the carburetor  
adjustment) while the en-  
gine is running. Before you  
service the unit, even with  
the engine stopped, always  
disconnect the wire from the  
spark plug to prevent the  
engine from starting.  
If you hit a large object during operation, stop  
the engine. Remove the wire from the spark  
plug. Carefully inspect the mower for damage.  
Before you start the engine again, make the  
necessary repairs. If you feel new or excessive  
vibration, immediately stop the engine and  
check for the problem. Vibration can be a warn-  
ing of a problem. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws  
tight.  
Make sure you are in good condition when you  
mow. When you mow for several hours your re-  
flexes will decrease and your mind will not be as  
alert. Take a short break or an accident can oc-  
cur. If the temperature is hot, use caution to pre-  
vent dehydration. If you are tired, angry or not  
completely alert, do not operate the mower. If  
you use alcohol, medication or drugs, do not use  
the mower or any type of power equipment.  
Use only accessories that are factory approved  
for your mower. The wrong accessory can de-  
crease the safety of the mower and can even  
damage the unit. Read and follow the instruc-  
tions included with the accessory and the mow-  
er.  
The blade is the most dangerous part of the  
mower. Frequently check the blade and the  
blade mounting fasteners. Keep the fasteners  
tight. If the blade hits a solid object, stop the en-  
gine. Remove the wire from the spark plug.

lawn look brown. Use a lower height of cut in  
cool months when the grass is thicker. Raise the  
height of cut in hot dry periods. If you cut the  
grass with a blade that is not sharp or at a slow  
engine speed you can damage the grass. Move  
the throttle control to the FAST position when  
mowing and using the grass bagger. Also, use a  
slower ground speed when using the grass bag-  
ger.  
erated by hand and holds the engine speed con-  
stant until it is changed. The location of the  
travel speed control is different from that of an  
automobile. Also, the brake and clutch systems  
are different. Remember the procedures to fol-  
low in an emergency. Remember, turning off the  
engine ignition switch will stop the blade and the  
drive mechanism. If the traction of the wheels is  
lost or does not feel safe, disengage all systems  
and stop the engine. Dismount from the mower.  
Push the unit to a safe place before you begin  
mowing again.  
A sharp blade decreases the workload on the  
engine and more evenly cuts grass. Frequently  
sharpen the blade for a better looking cut. Use  
the left side of the mower housing to trim near  
an object.  
A grass bagger is a good accessory for your  
mower. For best performance and safety, make  
sure the grass bagger is approved for use with  
your mower. Follow the assembly and operation  
instructions included with the grass bagger.  
Some grass baggers require a special blade for  
best performance. Before you attach, check, or  
empty the grass bagger, always stop the engine.  
Before each use of the grass bagger, check for  
cracks, wear or deterioration. Before you use the  
grass bagger, replace a damaged part with a  
replacement part approved by the factory.  
Your unit has an electrical system that includes  
an operator presence switch in the seat. The  
operator presence switch detects if the operator  
is sitting on the seat. The engine will stop if the  
operator leaves the seat when the blade en-  
gagement control is engaged. This operator  
presence switch is a safety device only. It must  
not regularly be used to stop the engine or the  
blade. There are other control systems on the  
mower for this purpose. Always keep the opera-  
tor presence switch and other safety devices  
and controls in place and operating for your pro-  
tection.  
If you change the direction or pattern of cut  
slightly every time you mow will make the grass  
grow stronger and thicker. Do not add oil or gas-  
oline to the mower while on the lawn. Spilled oil  
or gasoline can kill the grass. In high or thick  
grass, do not try to cut all the grass the first time.  
Raise the height of cut on the first cutting and  
lower the height for the next cutting. Another  
way is to cut only part of the width of the mower  
and decrease your ground speed (not the en-  
gine) to move more slowly so that the mower  
can discharge the grass as it moves forward.  
Understand the controls and how they work.  
Learn the ground speed(s) of your mower.  
Check the stopping distance required at different  
travel speeds. Check the turning radius of the  
mower. The controls on your riding mower are  
different from an automobile. The throttle is op-  
Remember, your mower is a tool that can be  
dangerous if it is not correctly used. Follow the  
instructions in this Instruction Book. Safe and  
careful use of the mower will give you many safe  
hours of problem free use.

General Recommendations  
1. The owner’s responsibility is to maintain this  
product. This will extend the life of the prod-  
uct and is also necessary to maintain war-  
ranty coverage.  
4. If you must stop or start on a hill, always  
have enough space for the unit to roll when  
you release the brake and engage the clutch.  
5. Turn the ignition key to the START position.  
2. Check the spark plug, drive brake, lubricate  
the unit, and clean the air filter once a year.  
NOTE: If the engine does not start after  
four or five tries, move the throttle control  
to the FAST position. Again try to start the  
engine. If the engine will not start, see the  
TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART.  
3. Check the fasteners. Make sure all fasteners  
are tight.  
5. Be very careful when you change directions  
on a hill. When on a slope or in a turn on a  
hill, move the throttle control to the SLOW  
position to help prevent an accident.  
4. Follow the Maintenance section to keep the  
unit in good operating condition.  
6. Slowly move the throttle control to the SLOW  
position.  
WARNING: Before you make an in-  
spection, 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.  
Before Starting The Engine  
Check the oil  
7. To start a hot engine, move the throttle con-  
trol to a position between FAST and SLOW.  
Mowing And Bagging Tips  
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac-  
tory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil.  
Add oil as needed. See the engine manufac-  
turer’s instructions for the type of petrol and  
oil to use.  
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.  
1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting  
level of the mower housing. See “How To  
Level The Mower Housing” in the Mainten-  
ance section.  
1. Make sure the unit is level.  
Inspect Blade (Figure 7)  
2. For the mower housing to cut level, make  
sure the tyres have the correct amount of air  
pressure.  
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil  
while the engine runs.  
WARNING: Before you inspect or  
remove the blade, disconnect the  
wire to the spark plug. If the blade  
hits an object, 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.  
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.  
2. Check the oil. Follow the procedure in the  
engine manufacturer’s instructions.  
3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the  
FULL mark on the dipstick. The quantity of oil  
needed from ADD to FULL is shown on the  
dipstick. Do not add too much oil.  
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades  
will cause the ends of the grass to turn  
brown.  
If you keep the blade (1) sharp and inspect the  
blade for damage, the blade will cut better and  
be more safe to operate. Frequently check the  
blade for excessive wear, cracks, or other dam-  
age. 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 dam-  
age. Before you operate the unit, replace dam-  
aged parts with original equipment parts. See  
the authorized service centre in your area. Every  
three years, have an authorized service person  
inspect the blade or replace the old blade with  
an original equipment part.  
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet  
grass will not discharge correctly. Let the  
grass dry before cutting.  
Add Petrol  
WARNING: Always use a safety  
petrol container. Do not smoke  
6. Use the left side of the mower housing to trim  
near an object.  
when adding petrol to the fuel tank.  
Do not add petrol when you are inside an  
enclosure. Before you add petrol, stop the  
engine and let the engine cool for several  
minutes.  
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 dis-  
charge away from shrubs, fences, driveways,  
etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the op-  
posite direction making left turns until fin-  
ished.  
(Figure 6) Fill the fuel tank (1) to the FULL (2)  
position with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use  
premium unleaded petrol. Make sure the petrol  
is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol will increase  
deposits and shorten the life of the valves.  
How To Remove And Install The Blade  
9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to de-  
crease 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.
