Leveling the Cutter Deck from
Safety
Safe Operation Practices for
Ride-on (Riding) Rotary Lawn
Mowers
Read and understand the contents of this manual before
operating the tractor.
The following instructions are from the CEN standard
EN 836:1997.
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet
and of throwing objects. Always follow all safety
instructions to avoid serious injury or death.
Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Washing the Underside of the Cutter
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations
can restrict the age of the operator.
• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets
are nearby.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
• Do not carry passengers.
• All drivers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
– the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
– control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope
will not be regained by the application of the
brake. The main reasons for loss of control are:
◊ insufficient wheel grip;
◊ being driven too fast;
◊ inadequate braking;
◊ the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
◊ lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
◊ incorrect hitching and load distribution.
Preparation
• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment
is to be used and remove all objects which may be
thrown by the machine.
• Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
– Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
– Limit loads to those you can safely control.
– Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
• Warning—Fuel is highly flammable.
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
– Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the instruction handbook.
– Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while
the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
• Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.
• Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• When using any attachments, never direct discharge
of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near
the machine while in operation.
• Never operate the machine with damaged guards or
without safety protective devices in place.
– Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• Replace faulty silencers.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal
injury.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn
or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and
bolts in sets to preserve balance.
• Before leaving the operator’s position:
• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
– disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
– change into neutral and set the parking brake;
– stop the engine and remove the key.
• Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine,
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the
ignition key
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
• Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all
blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.
– before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;
• Do not use on slopes of more than
– 5° when mowing on side hills;
– 10° when mowing uphill;
– before checking, cleaning or working on the lawn
mower;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawn
mower for damage and make repairs before
restarting and operating the equipment;
– 15° when mowing downhill.
• Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately).
– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
• Disengage drive to attachments when transporting
or not in use.
– engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in
gear, especially when travelling downhill;
• Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment
– before refuelling;
– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes
and during tight turns;
– before removing the grass catcher;
– stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
– before making height adjustment unless
adjustment can be made from the operator’s
position.
– never mow across the face of the slope, unless
the lawn mower is designed for this purpose.

• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
• Use only Hayter-approved attachments. The
warranty may be voided if you use the tractor with
unapproved attachments.
Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open
flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and fuel storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.
• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• When machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive
mechanical lock is used.

Operation
In certain conditions, petrol is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from petrol can burn you and others
and can damage property.
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Petrol and Oil
Use unleaded petrol suitable for automotive use (85
pump octane minimum).
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open area
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any petrol
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
petrol to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows the petrol to expand.
• Never smoke when handling petrol, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark
may ignite the petrol fumes.
• Store petrol in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
petrol.
• Always place petrol containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill petrol 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.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment
with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, refuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, not from a petrol dispenser
nozzle.
• If you must use a petrol dispenser, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the tractor to
provide the following benefits:
• It keeps petrol fresh during storage for up to 90
days. For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.
17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• It cleans the engine while it runs.
• It eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting.
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner
to the petrol.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when it is mixed with fresh petrol. To minimize the
chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner at all times.

Positioning the Seat
The seat can move forward and backward. Position
the seat where you have the best control of the tractor
and are most comfortable.

Driving Forward or Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in RPM (revolutions per minute). Shift the
throttle control lever into the Fast position for best
performance.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it
is unattended.
Always remove the ignition and reverse
interlock keys and set the parking brake when
leaving the tractor unattended, even if just for a
few minutes.
To go forward or backward:
1. Release the parking brake; refer to Releasing the
Parking Brake.

Side Discharge or Mulch
Grass
Note: The farther you move the traction control
pedal in either direction, the faster the tractor will
move in that direction.
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover,
or complete grass catcher assembly mounted
in place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with
rotating cutter deck blades and thrown debris
will cause injury or death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the
cutter deck because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
Figure 23

2. Forward
3. Backward
• Never put your hands or feet under the
cutter deck.
Note: To slow down, release the pressure on the
traction control pedal.
• Never try to clear discharge area or cutter
deck blades unless you disengage the blade
control (PTO) and rotate the ignition key
to Off.
Important: To avoid transmission damage,
always release the parking brake before moving
the traction control pedal.
Note: To reverse the tractor with the blade control
(PTO) engaged, deactivate the operating-in-reverse
interlock using the reverse interlock switch located
in front of and below the seat.
The cutter deck has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
To mulch grass clippings you must install the discharge
cover into the opening in the side of the cutter deck;
refer to Installing the Discharge Cover.
Stopping the Tractor
1. Release the traction control pedal.
Installing the Discharge Cover
To convert from a side discharge to a mulching cutter
deck, install the discharge cover into the opening at the
side of the cutter deck.
2. Disengage the blade control (PTO).
3. Turn the ignition key to Off to stop the engine.
4. Set the parking brake if you leave the tractor
unattended; refer to Setting the Parking Brake.

2. Lift the grass deflector and slide the tabs on top
of the discharge cover under the grass deflector
retaining rod.
• Grass grows at different rates at different times of
the season. To maintain the same cutting height,
which is a good practice, mow more often in early
spring. As the grass growth rate slows in mid
summer, mow less frequently.
3. Rotate the discharge cover down over the opening,
• To improve the quality of cut, use a slower ground
speed. For best operation on average lawns, operate
the engine at full throttle while controlling the
ground speed. You should operate the tractor
between 2 to 3.5 mph (3.2 to 5.6 km/h) while
mowing.
• If the grass is longer than normal, or if it contains
a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height
higher than usual, cut the grass at that setting, and
then cut the grass again at the lower, normal setting.
• If you must stop the tractor while mowing, you may
leave a clump of grass clippings on your lawn. To
avoid this, do the following:

4. Secure the discharge cover to the lower lip of the
• Use the washout port to clean clippings and dirt
from the underside of the cutter deck after each use.
If grass and dirt build up inside the cutter deck, the
cutting quality will eventually become unsatisfactory.
Note: Do not overtighten the nuts, which could
distort the cover and cause blade contact.
5. To convert back to a side discharge cutter deck,
remove the discharge cover and lower the grass
deflector over the discharge opening.
• Maintain a sharp blade throughout the season. A
sharp blade cuts grass cleanly without tearing or
shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding
the grass turns it brown at the edges, which slows
its growth and increases the chance of disease.
Every 30 days, check the blade for sharpness and
file down any nicks.
Operating Tips
• For the best performance, operate the engine at the
maximum speed. The cutter deck requires air to
thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the
height-of-cut too low or completely surround the
cutter deck in uncut grass. Always leave one side of
the cutter deck free from uncut grass to allow the
air to be drawn into the cutter deck.
• Cut the grass slightly longer than normal to ensure
that the cutting height of the cutter deck does
not scalp any uneven ground. When cutting grass
longer than 6 inch (15 cm) tall, cut the lawn twice to
ensure an acceptable appearance.
• It is best to cut only about 1/3 of the grass blade.
Do not cut more than that unless the grass is sparse
or it is late fall when grass grows more slowly.
• Alternate the mowing direction to keep the grass
standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings
and enhances decomposition and fertilization.
