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  
STARTING  
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.  
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the upper handle.  
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when provided on engine).  
CHOKE: Operated with the throttle control by moving the throttle control to the full start position.  
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position. Pull starting rope to start engine.  
1. Select desired cutting height before starting engine.  
2. Be sure drive lever or blade lever are not engaged.  
3. Choke if necessary.  
4. Pull back on starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to start. Repeat if necessary.  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for  
damaged or worn blade, loose blade bolt, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See maintenance section for  
proper blade bolt torque specifications.  
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:  
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the handle and the caster arm at the front of  
deck. Secure in place during transport.  
Never lift the machine while the engine is running. ENGINE MUST BE OFF while handling, lifting, or  
transporting the unit on or off the vehicle.  
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, such as 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 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.

CUTTING OPERATION  
CAUTION: Shut off the blades 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 and place the unit in gear to prevent the unit from rolling.  
Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug  
wire.  
CAUTION: Use extreme care when operating the blades. 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 blades with bystanders in  
the work area.  
GENERAL OPERATION: To engage the blades, depress the operator’s left hand control lever against operator’s  
handle. The blade is disengaged by releasing this lever. (See Fig. 16-5 next page) To engage the wheel drive lift the  
operator’s right hand control lever against operator’s handle. The drive is disengaged by releasing this lever.(See  
Fig. 16-6 next page) Ground speed can be varied by shifting gears as described on page 11. To begin cutting,  
engage the blade lever, allow the blade to spin up to speed, and engage the wheel drive to begin moving forward into  
the material to be cut.  
NOTE: Do not engage blades during transport between work sites. The blade should remain disengaged at all times  
when work is not being performed.  
The best performance is achieved when cutting in dry conditions. If the deck becomes choked with grass or debris  
during operation, back unit off of debris allowing machine to clear itself and continue cutting, or shut the unit off and  
clear the clog by hand (See above). A drop in engine RPM or a noticeable change in engine sound is usually a good  
indicator of a clogged discharge or other interference.  
Under most conditions cutting should be done in second or third gear. 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.  
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
CAUTION: DO NOT make cutting height adjustment when  
engine is running.  
Cutting height can be adjusted from 1.5" to 3.5" by placing spacers  
above or below caster spindles. For easiest adjustment change the  
height on one side at a time. To change cutting height, tilt the unit  
back, remove lynch pin, remove all spacers then set if off to the side,  
remove caster rig, add or subtract spacers, reinstall caster rig, place  
remainder of spacers if any, then reinsert lynch pin (see figure right).  
Repeat this step on other side. For finer adjustment relocate the  
bolts located on the deck brackets to change the angle of the deck.  
See the chart below for the corresponding positions and cutting  
heights  
NOTE: Be sure that the spacers are even on both casters. Running  
the deck out of level will result in poor cut quality.

PROPULSION  
This unit is self-propelled, and is controlled by an operator presence control. To  
engage the wheel drive, lift the operator's DRIVE lever on the right side against  
operator's handle. The drive is disengaged by releasing the lever. (See figure 16-  
6).  
GROUND SPEED can be varied by selecting a higher or lower gear using the  
gearshift lever on the frame (see figure 16-7). Note: Only change gear selection  
when unit is stopped. Under most conditions cutting should be done in second or  
third gear. 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.

CABLE ADJUSTMENTS  
Transaxle Drive Control Cable Adjustment  
When the transaxle drive belt slips, the drive control cable needs to be adjusted or the  
belt needs to be replaced with a new belt.  
Cable Adjustment:  
2. Using a ½ “ open end wrench, turn the inside adjusting nut counter-clockwise and  
back it off 1/8", then tighten the outboard adjusting nut against the support bracket (see  
figure 17-2).  
3. Check for proper operation. If the operation is not correct, repeat step 2.  
4. Replace the access door.  
The drive control cable adjustment should be the minimum amount required so the belt  
does not slip when the drive is engaged.  
Blade Drive Control Cable Adjustment  
When the blade drive control lever is depressed, the blades should turn and the blade  
drive belt should not slip. When the cable is properly adjusted the tension spring on the  
end of the control cable will open slightly (only enough for a piece of paper to slip  
between the coils). Cable Adjustment:  
1. Remove the belt cover and observe the tension spring on the end of the cable that  
attaches to the idler when the blade drive lever is depressed. The spring should just  
break open.  
2. If adjustment is required, using a ½” open end wrench, turn the inboard adjustment  
nut counter-clockwise and back it off 1/8". Then tighten the outboard adjustment nut  
against the cable support bracket (Item 49).  
3. Check the spring tension with the blade drive lever depressed.  
4. Readjust the control cable as needed for proper tension.  
5. Replace the deck belt cover.  
Note: Too much tension will shorten belt and bearing life and too little tension will allow  
the belt to slip.
