GENERAL SAFETY
For your safety and the safety of others, these directions should be followed:
Do not operate this machine without first reading
owner's manual and engine manufacturer's manual.
DO NOT:
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The opera-
tor could lose footing or balance.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
Use of Ear Protection is recommended while
operating this machine.
Use of Eye and Breathing protection is recom-
mended when using this machine.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
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.
III. Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the mower
and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
I. General Operation
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and
in the manual(s). Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the mower before starting.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful
care of a responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down
for small children.
4. Never allow children to operate the mower.
5. Use extra care when approaching blind comers, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
2. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
3. Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar with the
instructions, to operate the mower.
4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s).
5. Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop
mower if anyone enters the area.
IV. Service
6. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. Always wear substantial foot wear.
1. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are
flammable and vapors are explosive.
7. Do not pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. Look
down and behind before and while moving backwards.
8. Do not operate the mower without proper guards, plates, grass
catcher or other safety protective devices in place.
9. See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and
installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by
the manufacturer.
a)Use only an approved container.
b)Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
c)Never refuel the machine indoors.
d)Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there
is an open flame, such as a water heater.
2. Never run an engine inside a closed area.
10. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
11. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equipment,
before cleaning the mower or unclogging the chute.
12. Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes to
complete stop before removing grass catcher.
3.Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor)
running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away
from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
4. Keep all nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight
and keep equipment in good condition.
13. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly.
14. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
6. Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.
7. Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an Object. Repair,
if necessary, before restarting.
8. Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running.
15. Never operate mower in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing;
keep a firm hold on the handle and walk; never run.
16. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch on
mowers so equipped before starting the engine (motor).
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
9. Always disconnect electric mowers (live operated) before
cleaning, repairing, or adjusting.
18. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
when operating mower.
10. Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and
deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects
to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.”
11. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
12. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed
the engine.
II. Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can
result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel
uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes.
Remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. Watch
for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.
Pull starting rope to start engine.
ELECTRIC START: Choke the engine if necessary. Pull
up then push forward on the toggle switch until engine
starts, then release switch to run.
Under most conditions cutting should be done in
second or third gear. Fourth gear should be reserved for
conditions where grass is 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 bottom of the operator's right-hand handle while
depressing the brake release lever.
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.
3. Be sure drive lever or blade lever are not engaged.
4. Choke if necessary.
5. Pull back on starter rope slowly until resistance is felt.
Then pull cord rapidly to start. Repeat if necessary.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: DO NOT make cutting height
adjustment when engine is running.
Cutting height can be adjusted from 1.0" to 3.5" by placing
spacers above or below caster spindles. For easiest adjust-
ment 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 16-1
through 16-4). Repeat this step on other side.
NOTE: Be sure that the spacers are even on both casters.
Running the deck out of level will result in poor cut quality
and increased belt wear.

STORAGE
GROUND SPEED can be varied by selecting a higher or
lower gear using the gear shift lever on top of the console
(see figure 16-7). Under most conditions cutting should
be done in second or third gear. Fourth gear should be
reserved for conditions where grass is 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 bottom of the operator's right-hand handle while
depressing the brake release lever.
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 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). See figure 17-3.
17.1
CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: DO NOT make cable adjustment
when engine is running. Disconnect spark plug
wire before making any adjustments.
Cable Adjustment:
1. Remove the deck belt cover (Item 81).
2. Observe the tension spring on the end of the cable when the
blade drive lever is depressed. The spring should just break open.
3. If adjustment is required, using a ½” open end wrench, turn
the inboard adjustment nut counter-clockwise and back it off 1/8"
(Figure 4). Then tighten the outboard adjustment nut against the
cable support bracket (Item 49).
Brake Adjustment
The brake control cable is spring loaded and requires no adjustment; however,
the transaxle brake is adjustable. When the mower is in neutral and can
be pushed by hand without depressing the brake lever, the transaxle brake
needs adjustment.
4. Check the spring tension with the blade drive lever depressed.
5. Readjust the control cable as needed for proper tension.
6. Replace the deck belt cover.
Using a ½ inch wrench turn the adjusting nut ¼ turn clockwise (see figure
17-1).
With the machine in neutral and:
1. The brake lever not depressed, the brake should be on and inhibit the
machine from being rolled by pushing.
2. The brake lever depressed the brake should be off and the machine should
roll uninhibited by the brake.
Note: Too much tension will shorten belt and bearing life and too
little tension will allow the belt to slip.
Figure 17-1
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:
1. Using a 3/8” wrench, remove the rear access door (Item 51).
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.
Figure 17-3
The drive control cable adjustment should be the minimum amount required so
the belt does not slip when the drive is engaged.

BLADE REMOVAL / SHARPENING
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.
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: ratchet, 3/4” inch socket, torque wrench, ade-
quate support, block to inhibit blade rotation.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire.
2. Support front of unit to allow access to the blades.
Note: Unit is heavy. Be sure support is adequate to prevent
personal injury.
