Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this  
equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.  
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately  
and check for damaged or worn blade, loose blade jam nut, loose engine or lodged foreign objects.  
Note: See maintenance section for proper blade jam nut torque specifications.  
STARTING  
STOP POSITION  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions for  
type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must  
be level when checking and filling oil and gasoline.  
Fig. 1  
ENGINE SPEED: Set at factory. The engine runs at a  
constant speed.  
1. Select desired cutting height before starting engine.  
2. Place mower on a sidewalk or driveway where the  
mower blade is in an unloaded condition. If it must be  
started on the lawn, move mower over previously cut  
grass.  
OPERATING POSITION  
3. Be sure drive lever (Yellow lever on the right hand side)  
is not engaged (fig. 1).  
4. Prime to choke. Prime is located in front of the engine.  
5. Pull down on operator presence control lever (Red  
lever on the left hand side - fig. 1.1), then pull back on  
starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord  
rapidly to start. Repeat if necessary.  
Fig. 1.1  
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:  
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the handle and front of deck. Secure in  
place during transport.  
Never lift the machine while the engine is running.  
CUTTING OPERATION  
CAUTION: The mower blade will be rotating whenever engine is running.  
CAUTION: Shut down the engine when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads and under all conditions where  
thrown objects might be a hazard.  
CLEARING A CLOGGED CUTTING DECK: Turn engine off and wait for blade to stop completely. Disconnect  
spark plug wire.  
Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug wire.  
CAUTION: Use extreme care when operating the blade. Inspect the work area for foreign objects that could cause  
damage to the unit or injure the operator if struck by the blade. Never operate the blade with bystanders in the work  
area  
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
Fig. 2  
CAUTION: DO NOT make cutting height adjustment when engine is running.  
Cutting height can be adjusted from 2" to 4" by 1/2" increments by lowering or raising  
the deck. For easiest adjustment change the height from one side at a time. To change  
cutting height, remove lock pins, raise or lower deck to desired height, and then reinsert  
lock pins. Repeat this step on other side NOTE: Be sure that the deck is level. Running  
the deck out of level will result in poor cut quality and increased belt wear.

PROPULSION  
This unit is self-propelled, and is controlled by a lever control. To  
engage the wheel drive, pull up and squeeze it against operator's  
handle. The drive is disengaged by releasing this lever.(See Fig. 3 &  
3.1)  
GROUND SPEED can be varied by selecting a higher or lower gear using  
the gearshift lever on top of the handle (See Fig. 4). Under most conditions  
cutting should be done in first or second gear. Third gear should be reserved  
for conditions where weeds and brush are thinned out or not as tall. The  
quality of the cut produced is directly related to the unit's ground speed  
during cutting. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory (i.e. material left  
standing) you should shift into a lower gear during cutting. For improved  
control in confined areas, this machine can be pushed forward or backward  
by releasing the drive lever located at the right side of the handle.  
HILLSIDE MOWING  
WARNING! Never mow on any slope greater than 15 degrees. Always  
mow across the face of slopes; never up and down or diagonally see fig 5).  
DO NOT attempt sudden starts or stop when mowing on a slope. Avoid  
sudden turns and use extreme caution when changing direction on a slope.  
STORAGE  
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in  
tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace,  
water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.  
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:  
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and  
fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible  
malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from  
open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the  
formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank  
or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run  
engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.  
CAUTION: Wheels must be chocked or blocked when unit is parked on a slope.

BLADE Removal / Sharpening  
NOTE: When sharpening the blade it is a good idea to check the balance of the blade. A  
properly balanced blade will increase life of the bearings and other components.  
Tools required: 3/8 inch socket, 5/8 inch socket, torque wrench, blade block.  
1. Disconnect spark plug wire.  
2. Remove 5 screws (item 76) then remove belt guard (19).  
3. Set the unit on its side to allow access to both pulley and the blade.  
Note: When tipping the unit on its side, keep the air cleaner side of engine up. Be sure the gas is  
drained out to prevent from spilling before tipping the unit on its side. Never tip the mower more  
than 90 degrees and do not leave the mower tipped for any length of time.  
Fig. 6  
4. While protecting your hands with pair of gloves or heavy rag to hold the blade, loosen but do not  
remove the bolt (88) on the pulley side (fig. 6).  
5. Remove jam nut (68), blade washer (43), blade (44), blade washer (43), and blade spacer (39).  
6. Replace or sharpen the blade then install in the exact order they were removed (fig. 7).  
7. Tighten the jam nut until it is flush with the end of the shaft (fig 7). Then tighten the bolt on  
the pulley side - Torque it to 80 ft-lbs.  
Note: When replacing the blade use B.G.I. Part no. 510107.  
8. Reinstall belt guard then connect spark plug.  
Note: Before installing the fasteners inspect them for wear and replace as necessary.  
Fig. 7  
BELT REPLACEMENT  
When replacing one belt the other should be inspected for wear and replaced if worn. It  
is good practice to change both belts when either is worn beyond use. Use only original  
equipment belts for replacement. Billy Goat uses only premium quality, Kevlar corded  
and coated belts in your unit. Substitute belts do not meet the design and performance  
requirements for your unit, and will greatly reduce machine performance and belt life.  
Blade Drive Belt  
Tools required: 3/8 inch socket, 1/2 inch socket, 3/8" torque wrench.  
1. Disconnect spark plug wire.  
2. Set the deck height to middle position (3 inches cutting height).  
3. Remove 5 screws (item 76) then remove belt guard (19).  
4. Loosen but do not remove the nut (71) at the top of the engine base located just front of the  
engine. This will release the tension on the blade drive belt (37). NOTE: It may be necessary to  
loosen bolt (85) in order to allow idler pulley bracket to pivot.  
5. Replace the old belt with the new belt.  
Note: Use only O.E.M. approved belt for this machine - B.G.I. Part no. 510139.  
6. To adjust tension on the new belt, insert 3/8" torque wrench in the idler bracket, apply 10 lbs.  
of torque then tighten the nut (71) on top of the engine base (fig. 8).  
Note: Belt requires very little tension to drive the blade. Over tensioning the belt will greatly  
reduce the life of the belt.  
7. Install belt guard using 5 screws (76)  
8. Reconnect spark plug wire.  
Note: Start the unit up and cut grass to make sure the blade belt is not slipping.

SELF PROPELLED DRIVE ADJUSTMENT  
Tools required: two 1/2 wrenches.  
As the clutch wears, adjustments may be required to maintain proper  
control cable tension, and clutch engagement (fig. 11). If the clutch begins  
slipping or squealing during normal operation it may require an adjustment  
to increase the clutch cable tension. A properly adjusted drive clutch  
should require a minimum of 3/8" of spring stretch when drive lever is  
engaged (fig. 12). Adjust by tightening or by loosening clutch cable  
adjusting nut as required, located at the clutch lever (fig. 12). If further  
adjustment is required, primary adjuster is located at the underneath the  
engine base (fig. 13). Replacement of cable may be necessary if  
adjustment will not allow for proper drive clutch engagement.
