Original Instructions (EN)

Printed in the USA

• Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If you see

lightning or hear thunder in the area, do not operate

the machine; seek shelter.

• Never refuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where

there is an open ﬂame, spark, or pilot light such as

on a water heater or on other appliances.

• See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation

and installation of accessories. Only use accessories

approved by the manufacturer.

• Never ﬁll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place

containers on the ground away from your vehicle

before ﬁlling.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents,

which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes

require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do

not mow it.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser

nozzle.

• Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction

on slopes.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall

accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.

Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

• Never overﬁll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. You could lose your footing or

balance.

Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an

odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume

that children will remain where you last saw them.

Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed

area.

General Service

• Never operate machine in a closed area.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under

the watchful care of a responsible adult other than

the operator.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment

is in safe working condition.

• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your

view of a child.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove

any fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to cool

before storing.

Service

• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the

machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.

Safe Handling of Gasoline

• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the

engine running. Disconnect the spark-plug wire

and ground against engine to prevent unintended

starting.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use

extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is

extremely ﬂammable and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s

recommended parts, when necessary.

• Use only an approved gasoline container.

• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

• Do not change the engine governor setting or

overspeed the engine.

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as

necessary.

Safety and Instructional Decals

Important: Safety and instruction decals are located near areas of potential danger. Replace damaged

decals.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Product Overview

Gasoline is extremely ﬂammable and explosive.

A ﬁre or explosion from gasoline can burn you

and others.

• To prevent a static charge from igniting the

gasoline, place the container and/or mower

directly on the ground before ﬁlling, not in a

vehicle or on an object.

• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is

cold. Wipe up spills.

• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or

around an open ﬂame or sparks.

• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,

out of the reach of children.

Mulching the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to mulch the

grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.

If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to

Removing the Grass Bag) before mulching the clippings.

Bagging the Clippings

Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and

leaf clippings from the lawn.

Figure 14

A worn grass bag could allow small stones

and other similar debris to be thrown in the

operator’s or bystander’s direction and result in

serious personal injury or death to the operator

or bystanders.

1. Rear deﬂector

2. Insert the grass bag handle onto the notches on the

handle brackets (Figure 14).

Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,

install a new Lawn-Boy replacement bag.

Removing the Grass Bag

1. Lift up the rear deﬂector (Figure 14).

2. Lift the grass bag handle out from the notches on the

handle brackets and remove the bag from the mower.

3. Close the rear deﬂector.

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can

result in serious personal injury.

Operating Tips

Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to

stop before leaving the operating position.

General Mowing Tips

• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and

other debris that the blade could hit.

Installing the Grass Bag

• Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never

deliberately mow over any object.

1. Lift up the rear deﬂector (Figure 14).

• If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,

immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire

from the spark plug, and examine the mower for

damage.

• For best performance, install a new blade before the

cutting season begins.

• Replace the blade when necessary with a Lawn-Boy

replacement blade.

Cutting Grass

• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.

Do not cut below the 2 inch (51 mm) setting unless

the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth

begins to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting

Height.

• When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall, 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, the mower may

plug and cause the engine to stall.

– Cut the grass more frequently.

– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full

swath with each pass.

• Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves

tend to clump on the yard and can cause the mower

to plug or the engine to stall.

– Set the cutting height on the front wheels one

notch lower than the rear wheels. For example,

set the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the

rear wheels at 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).

Cutting Leaves

Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if

you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry

conditions.

• 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.

• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse

the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.

• If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves

on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or two

notches higher than the rear cutting height.

• If the ﬁnished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try

one or more of the following:

• Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does

not cut the leaves ﬁnely enough.

– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.

– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.

– Raise the cutting height on your mower.

Maintenance

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
