Exercise special care when mowing around fixed objects
in order to prevent the blades from striking them. Never
deliberately run tow vehicle or mower onto or over any
foreign object.
·
·
Use mower only as the manufacturer intended and as
described in the manual.
Do not operate mower if it has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Always have damage repaired before
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.
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 an indication of damage; stop the
engine, safely check for the cause of vibration and repair
as required.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG
WIRE AND PLACE IT WHERE IT CANNOT
CONTACT SPARK PLUG IN ORDER TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING WHEN
SETTING UP, TRANSPORTING, ADJUSTING
OR MAKING REPAIRS.
·
·
·
·
·
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.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not
point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without the
guards in place.
·
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.
·

·
·
Mow up and down slopes.
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.
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.
·
·
·
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Never make adjustments 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.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, 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.

To obtain the best cutting results, the mower deck should be
adjusted so that it is parallel to the ground. To check front to
back adjustment, measure from the bottom edge of the deck to
the ground at both the front and rear of the deck. This next
series of instructions is best done with the mower and tow
vehicle together.
The cutting height range of this unit is from approximately 2
1/2 to 6 inches. Heights are measured from the ground to the
blade tip with the engine not running. Rotate height
adjustment crank handle in a clockwise direction to raise the
cutter and in a counter clockwise direction to lower.
·
Install the hitch swivel (8) to the tow bar of the tow
vehicle. (refer to fig. 1)
·
Raise the hitch tube of the mower until the bottom of the
deck is parallel to the ground. Note the position of the
clevis on the “L” hitch in relation to the hitch swivel on
the tow vehicle. The “L” hitch will have to be moved up
or down to match this height.
·
·
Fill engine with oil (see engine manual for proper
procedure and requirements).
Add gasoline. Fill fuel tank using fresh clean unleaded
gas.
·
Set the mower back on the ground, remove the hardware,
slide the “L” hitch into the predetermined position, and
reinstall the nuts and bolts. The hardware can now be
tightened.

·
·
Make sure spark plug wire is properly connected.
Place throttle control in “CHOKE” position if the engine
is cold. A warm engine may not require choking to start.
Grasp starter handle with one hand. Pull rope out slowly
until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will
pull slightly harder at this point).
Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep
a firm grip on starter handle and let rope rewind slowly.
Do not let starter handle snap back against starter.
When engine starts, move throttle control to the “RUN”
position (full throttle).
·
·
·
·
Move blade clutch lever to disengaged (vertical) position.
Turn key switch to OFF position.
·
·
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before
engaging blades.
Note: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
Temperatures (below 32F), the carburetor fuel
mixture may need to be adjusted for best
performance (see Service and Adjustments section of
the engine manual.)
NEVER CARRY CHILDREN. THEY MAY
FALL OFF AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED
OR INTERFERE WITH SAFE OPERATION.
·
·
Mowing should be started with the tow vehicle in low
gear and speed increased only as mowing conditions will
safely permit. This speed should not exceed 3 ½ mph.
Better mowing results will be obtained in those areas with
the least amount of growth. While your mower will cut
through dense growth, you will experience a substantial
increase in the horsepower required and some change in
the finished appearance as compared to those areas with
the least amount of growth.
CHECK AREA UNDER AND AROUND
MOWER FOR ANY OBJECTS THAT COULD
BE THROWN FROM UNDER MOWER.
MAKE SURE THAT MOWER DISCHARGE
AREA IS CLEAR.
·
Mowing conditions will vary from place to place,
including the types of grass and brush that are being
mowed. When mowing tall grass and brush you may find
that the pressure of the wheel tracks may cause certain
grasses and brush to be pushed downward and will not be
mowed 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 normal height that
you have chosen. If it is practical, better results will be
found if the second mowing is at a right angle in travel to
the previous mowing.
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.
Break in your belts, pulleys, and engine before you actually
begin mowing for the first time.
·
When mowing thick grass and brush you will find that the
performance of the mower will be greatly improved if the

speed of travel is reduced. This allows the mower the
time necessary to make its initial cut, and then the
subsequent cuts that chop the materials into small pieces
to be discharged properly. Failure to do this will result in
a poor finished look and the possibility of stalling the
engine.
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will
accumulate under the mower deck and leave undesirable
clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.
·
·
Always operate mower engine at full throttle when
mowing to assure the best mowing performance and
proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance as well as the quality of cut desired.
When mowing extremely dense brush and saplings, do
not attempt to mow over any area that the tow vehicle
·
cannot
maneuver
through.
The warranty on this cutter does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from
the warranty, operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly.
All adjustments in the service and adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.
·
·
·
Replace the spark plug.
Clean or replace the air filter.
Check blades and belts for wear.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
·
·
·
·
Check engine oil level. (Do this twice to insure an accurate reading.)
Check condition of air filter and clean or replace if necessary.
Check blade operation.
Check for loose fasteners.
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight and cotter pins and retainer springs are secure. Keep blades sharp. Observe all safety
precautions.
For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do Not
attempt to sharpen while on the cutter.
DO NOT HANDLE MOWER BLADES WITH
BARE HANDS. CARELESS OR IMPROPER
HANDLING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
Your cutter has been produced with components designed for your unit. Although standard V-belts, bearings, blades, pulleys, etc.
may look like parts used elsewhere, many are of a different construction and could, in some cases cause a malfunction in the operation
of the machine.
