Safety  
• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be  
used and remove all rocks, toys, sticks, wires,  
bones, and other foreign objects which can be  
thrown by the machine and may cause personal  
injury to the operator or bystanders.  
DANGER  
In certain conditions during fueling, static  
electricity can be released causing a spark  
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or  
explosion from gasoline can burn you and  
others and cause property damage.  
DANGER  
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely  
flammable and vapors are explosive.  
• Always place gasoline containers on the  
ground away from your vehicle before  
filling.  
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn  
you, others, and cause property damage.  
• Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a  
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because  
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners  
may insulate the container and slow the  
loss of any static charge.  
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground,  
in an open area, when the engine is cold.  
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.  
• Never refill the fuel tank or drain the  
machine indoors or inside an enclosed  
trailer.  
• When practical, remove gas-powered  
equipment from the truck or trailer and  
refuel the equipment with its wheels on  
the ground.  
• Do Not fill the fuel tank completely  
full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until  
the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6–13 mm)  
below the bottom of the filler neck. This  
empty space in the tank allows gasoline  
to expand.  
• If this is not possible, then refuel such  
equipment on a truck or trailer from a  
portable container, rather than from a  
gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be  
used, keep the nozzle in contact with the  
rim of the fuel tank or container opening  
at all times until fueling is complete.  
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and  
stay away from an open flame or where  
gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.  
• Store gasoline in an approved container  
and keep it out of the reach of children.  
WARNING  
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never  
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add  
fuel when engine is running or when the  
engine is hot.  
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.  
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused  
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use  
caution may cause serious injury or illness.  
• If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start  
the engine. Move away from the area of  
the spill and avoid creating any source of  
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.  
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.  
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas  
tank/container opening.  
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust  
system in place and in proper working  
condition.  
• Keep away from eyes and skin.  
• Never siphon by mouth.  
• Check that the operator’s presence controls,  
safety switches, and shields are attached and  
functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they  
are functioning properly.

Operation  
DANGER  
WARNING  
If the blade brake clutch system is inoperative,  
the blade will continue to rotate when you  
release the blade control bail. Contact with  
the blade could occur, causing serious injury.  
Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring  
your hands into contact with a moving blade. A  
moving blade can cause serious injury.  
• Stop the engine and wait for all movement to  
stop before adjusting the cutting height.  
• Check the BBC operation before each use.  
• Never use the BBC-equipped lawn mower  
with an inoperative safety system.  
• Do Not put your fingers under the housing  
when adjusting the cutting height.  
• Take your lawn mower to an Authorized  
Service Dealer for repair if the safety  
system fails to operate properly.

• Mowing with the Grass Bag  
Using the Grass Bag  
WARNING  
• Installing the Grass Bag  
A worn grass bag could allow small stones  
and other similar debris to be thrown in the  
operator’s or bystander’s direction. Thrown  
objects can result serious personal injury or  
death to the operator or bystanders.  
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts  
to stop.  
2. Open the rear door.  
3. Grasp the handle on the bag and set the rear  
of the bag frame onto the handle bracket  
notch (Figure 18).  
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is  
damaged, install a new Exmark replacement  
bag.  
Cut the grass until the bag is full.  
Note: Do Not overfill the bag.  
• Removing the Grass Bag  
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts  
to stop.  
2. Raise the rear discharge door and grasp the  
handle on the bag.  
3. Lift the bag off of the lawn mower and lower  
the rear discharge door.

Operation  
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps  
DANGER  
disperse the clippings over the lawn for even  
fertilization.  
If the discharge door does not close  
completely, the lawn mower could throw  
objects. Thrown objects can result in  
serious personal injury or death to the  
operator or bystanders.  
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,  
try one or more of the following:  
– Sharpen the blade.  
• Never open the door to the discharge  
opening when the engine is running.  
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.  
– Cut the grass more frequently.  
• If you cannot close the door because  
the grass clippings clog the discharge  
area, stop the engine and gently move  
the discharge door handle back and  
forth until you can close the door  
completely. If you still cannot close the  
door, remove the obstruction with a  
stick, not your hand.  
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a  
full swath with each pass.  
– Set the desired cutting height on the front  
wheels. Set the rear wheels one to two notches  
higher. For example, set the front wheels at 2  
1/2 inches (64 mm) and the rear wheels at 3  
inches (76 mm).  
Cutting Leaves  
Operating Tips  
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the  
lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may  
need to make more than one pass over the leaves.  
• Review the Safety section and read this manual  
carefully before operating the lawn mower.  
• Set the engine speed to the fastest position for  
the best cutting results.  
• For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the  
same cutting height setting.  
• Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting  
season. Periodically file down nicks on the blade.  
Replace the blade when necessary with an original  
Exmark replacement blade.  
• If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves  
on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or  
two notches higher than the rear cutting height.  
This makes it easier to feed the leaves under the  
lawn mower deck.  
• Clean the air filter frequently. Mulching stirs up  
more clippings and dust which clogs the air filter  
and reduces engine performance.  
• Slow down your mowing speed if the lawn mower  
does not cut the leaves finely enough.  
Cutting Grass  
• If you mow over oak leaves, you can add lime to  
the grass in the spring to reduce the acidity of the  
oak leaves.  
• Grass grows at different rates at different times  
of the year. In the summer heat, it is best to cut  
grass at the 2 1/2 inch (64 mm), 3 inch (76 mm),  
or 3 1/2 inch (90 mm) cutting height settings.  
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.  
Do Not cut below the 2 1/2 inch (64 mm) setting  
unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when  
grass growth begins to slow down.  
• When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall,  
first mow at the highest cutting height setting and  
walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for  
the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long  
and the grass clump on top of the lawn, the lawn  
mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.

Service Interval: Before each use or daily  
DANGER  
A worn or damaged blade can break. A  
piece of the blade could be thrown into the  
operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in  
serious personal injury or death.  
Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts  
cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass  
blade.  
• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or  
damage.  
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to  
stop.  
• Replace a worn or damaged blade.  
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug  
(Figure 10 and Figure 11).  
If it is necessary to remove the blade for  
replacement or sharpening, complete the  
following steps:  
3. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank. Refer to  
Emptying the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the  
Fuel Filter section.  
A. To remove the blade, use a block of wood to  
hold the blade steady (see Figure 22). Make  
sure to grasp the end of the blade using a rag  
or a thickly padded glove.  
4. Tip the lawn mower onto its right side.  
5. Inspect the blade for sharpness and wear,  
especially where the flat and the curved parts  
meet (see Figure 21). Because sand and abrasive  
material can wear away the metal that connects  
the flat and curved parts of the blade, check  
the blade before using the lawn mower. If you  
notice a slot or wear (Figure 21B and Figure 21C),  
replace the blade.  
For Blade Brake Clutch Units: Remove  
the blade nuts, blade support, and blade.  
For Units without a Blade Brake  
Clutch: Remove the blade bolt, blade  
support, and blade.  
Figure 22  
B. For Sharpening: File the top side of the  
blade to maintain its original cutting angle  
(Figure 23A and B) and inner cutting edge  
radius (Figure 23A). The blade will remain  
balanced if you remove the same amount of  
material from both cutting edges.
