SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Tow Behind Mowers  
WARNING: 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.  
I. GENERAL OPERATION  
Keep your eyes and mind on your mower and the  
area being cut. Do not let other interests distract  
you.  
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating  
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all  
times.  
Before cleaning, inspecting, or repairing your  
mower, stop the engine and make absolutely sure  
the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Then  
disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away  
from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.  
Do not operate your mower if it vibrates  
abnormally. Excessive vibration is and indication of  
damage; stop the engine, safely check for the  
cause of vibration and repair as required.  
Never operate your mower without proper guards,  
plates or other safety devices in place.  
Read, understand and follow all instructions in the  
manual and on the machine before starting.  
Read this operator's manual carefully. Become  
familiar with the controls and know how to operate  
your mower properly.  
Only allow responsible adults who are familiar with  
the instructions to operate the machine.  
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,  
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the  
blade.  
Be sure the area is clear of other people before  
mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
Never carry passengers.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely  
necessary. Always look down and behind before  
and during backing.  
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do  
not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower  
without the guard in place.  
Slow down before turning.  
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always  
turn off blades and stop engine.  
II. SLOPE OPERATION  
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and  
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or  
death. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel  
uneasy on it, do not mow it.  
Turn off blades when not mowing.  
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Do not operate the machine while under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Watch for traffic when crossing or operating near  
roadways.  
Use extra care when loading or unloading the  
machine into a trailer or truck.  
Do not attempt to operate your tractor or mower  
when not in drivers seat.  
Disengage power to mower and stop engine when  
transporting or when not in use.  
Exercise special care when mowing around fixed  
objects in order to prevent the blades from striking  
them. Never deliberately run tractor or mower onto  
or over any foreign object.  
Use mower only as the manufacturer intended and  
as described in this manual.  
Do not operate mower if it has been dropped or  
damaged in any manner. Always have damage  
repaired before using your mower.  
DO:  
Mow up and down slopes, not across.  
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain  
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide  
obstacles.  
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will  
not have to stop or shift while on the slope.  
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for  
wheel weights or counterweights to improve  
stability.  
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.  
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.  
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose  
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly  
straight down the slope.  
DO NOT:  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then  
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when  
starting and while using your mower.  
Dress properly. Do not operate mower when  
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear only solid  
shoes with good traction when mowing.  
Always make cutting height adjustments before  
starting your mower. Never attempt to do this while  
the engine is running.  
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.  
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or  
embankments. The mower could suddenly turn  
over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or  
if an edge caves in.  
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could  
cause sliding.

III. CHILDREN  
Look for this symbol to point out  
important safety precautions. It  
means CAUTION!!! BECOME  
ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS  
INVOLVED.  
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.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and under  
the watchful care of another responsible adult.  
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the  
area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and down  
for small children.  
Never carry children. They may fall off and be  
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine  
operation.  
CAUTION: Always disconnect spark  
plug wire and place wire where it  
cannot contact spark plug in order to  
prevent accidental starting when  
setting up, transporting, adjusting or  
making repairs.  
Never allow children to operate the machine.  
Use extra care when approaching blind corners,  
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure  
vision.  
IV. SERVICE  
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.  
They are flammable and vapors are explosive.  
Use only an approved container.  
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the  
engine running.  
Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not  
smoke near or while operating mower.  
Never refuel the machine indoors.  
Never store the machine or fuel container inside  
a room where there is an open flame, such as  
with a gas water heater.  
Never run a machine inside a closed area.  
Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment  
nuts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their  
proper operation regularly.  
Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris  
build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to  
cool before storing.  
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an  
object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.  
Never make adjustment or repairs with the engine  
running.  
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the  
blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution  
when servicing them.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and  
service as required.

IMPORTANT: Avoid prolonged mowing of ditches with  
slopes greater than 15 degrees. Small engines become  
starved for oil at angles greater than 15 degrees and  
should only be used for brief periods on such slopes. Be  
sure the engine is tilled to the maximum oil level when  
mowing on slopes.  
Mowing should be started with tractor in low gear  
and speed increased only as mowing conditions will  
safely permit.  
Mower will perform at its best when engine throttle is  
set for full throttle.  
You will obtain better mowing results in grassy areas  
if they are mowed when the grass is approximately  
4" to 5" maximum height. While your mower will cut  
grass taller than 5", you will notice a substantial  
increase in engine power required and some change  
in the finished appearance of the area mowed.  
Mowing conditions will vary from place to place,  
including the types of grass which are being  
mowed, such as fine stalk, coarse stalk, and  
dense or sparse grasses. When mowing tall grass  
you may find that certain grasses may be pressed  
downward under the wheels so that they will not  
mow properly. If this condition exists you may have  
to mow the area twice, the first mowing with the  
mower raised and the second mowing at the  
desired height. If it is practical, you will achieve  
better results if the second mowing is at right  
angle to the previous mowing.  
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will  
plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow  
grass to dry before mowing.  
Always operate mower engine at full throttle when  
mowing to assure better mowing performance and  
proper discharge of material. Regulate ground  
speed by selecting a gear low enough to give the  
best cutting performance and quality of cut.  
When operating any attachment, select a ground  
speed that will suit the terrain and give the best  
performance for the attachment being used.  
When mowing slopes, always mow them up and  
down at slow speed. Never mow across slopes.  
Refer to Slope Operation on page 3 and to the  
Slope Guide on page 23.

MAINTENANCE  
ENGINE MAINTENANCE  
Refer to engine manual when performing  
maintenance on engine.  
LUBRICATION  
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease pivot points.  
Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that can  
cause wear on pivot points. If you feel they must be  
lubricated, use only a dry powdered graphite type  
lubricant.

When grinding, take care to maintain blade balance.  
Check blade for proper balance before reinstalling  
to mower.  
To check and balance blade use a balancing  
machine or, fixture as shown in figure 8. File mate-  
rial off heavier end of blade until it is balanced.  
CLEANING THE MOWER  
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire  
from spark plug before working on under-  
side of mower.  
Clean the underside of your mower to remove build-  
up of grass clippings.  
Clean any gasoline, oil, or foreign matter from  
engine, painted surfaces and wheels.  
We do not recommend using a garden hose to  
clean mower unless the electrical system, muffler,  
air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water  
out. Water in engine can result in shortening engine  
life.  
BLADE CARE  
For best results, mower blade must be kept sharp.  
The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of  
a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to  
sharpen blades while blades are on mower.  
To remove blade for sharpening, use wooden block  
to hold blade while removing the blade mounting  
nut. The nuts have right hand threads. (See Fig. 7.)  
CAUTION: Do not handle mower blades  
with bare hands. Careless or improper  
handling may result in serious injury.

from spark plug before replacing V-belt.  
NOTE: For every 1/8" adjustment made to the cable  
you will get approximately 1/8" movement on the  
tension spring.  
To Decrease Drive Spring Tension  
Place blade clutch lever in the "DISENGAGED"  
position.  
Loosen the outer nut of the clutch cable.  
Tighten the inner nut to decrease spring tension.
