Maintenance

4.If you must stop or start on a hill, always have enough space for the unit to roll when you release the brake and engage the clutch.

5.Be very careful when you change directions on a hill. When on a slope or in a turn on a hill, move the throttle control to the SLOW position to help prevent an accident.

How To Use The Grass Bagger

WARNING: Do not ride up or down slopes that are too steep to back straight up. Never ride the unit

across a slope.

Operation

To operate with the grass bagger, follow the steps below.

1.	Start the engine.
2.	Move the throttle control to FAST position.
3.	Move the shift lever to FIRST (1) position. To
	fill the grass bag, always operate at the
	slowest speed.

2.Check the oil. Follow the procedure in the engine manufacturer’s instructions.

3.If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the dipstick. The quantity of oil needed from ADD to FULL is shown on the dipstick. Do not add too much oil.

Add Petrol

WARNING: Always use a safety petrol container. Do not smoke when adding petrol to the fuel tank.

Do not add petrol when you are inside an enclosure. Before you add petrol, stop the engine and let the engine cool for several minutes.

(Figure 14) Fill the fuel tank (1) to the FULL (2) position with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use premium unleaded petrol. Make sure the petrol is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol will increase deposits and shorten the life of the valves.

3.Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.

4.Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause the ends of the grass to turn brown.

5.If the grass is very high, cut two times to de- crease the load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in the highest position and then lower the mower housing for the second cut.

6.Operate the engine with the throttle in FAST position and the shift lever in first or second gear.

7.For better cutting performance and a quality cut, mow with the shift lever in one of the slower speeds.

8.After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower housing will help pre- vent a fire.

4. If the height of the grass is more than 31/2

inches (9cm), cut the grass with the mower

housing in the highest position. Then, lower

the mower housing and cut the grass again.

You can also cut at 1/2 to 2/3 of the full cutting

width of the mower housing.

How To Clear The Connector Tube And The Extension Tube

If the connector tube or the extension tube becomes filled with grass, clear as follows.

1.Move the blade rotation control to the DIS- ENGAGE position.

2.Move the shift lever to the neutral (N) posi- tion.

3.Engage the parking brake.

4.Stop the engine.

5.(Figure 8) Remove the grass bagger (9).

6.(Figure 11) Use a long stick (1) to push any grass and debris from the connector tube

(2) or the extension tube.

7.If the connector must be removed, see “How To Remove The Connector Tube” in the maintenance section.

How To Empty The Grass Bagger

How To Start The Engine

WARNING: The electrical system has an operator presence system that includes a sensor switch for

the seat. These components tell the electrical system if the operator is sitting on the seat. This system will stop the engine when the operator leaves the seat if the blade rotation control is engaged or if the transmission is engaged. For your protection, always make sure this system operates correctly.

NOTE: The engine will not start unless you depress the clutch/brake pedal or engage the parking brake and move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position.

1.Push the clutch/brake pedal completely for- ward. Keep your foot on the pedal.

2.Move the shift lever to the neutral (N) posi- tion.

3.Make sure the blade rotation control is in the DISENGAGE position.

4.Move the throttle control completely forward to the CHOKE or FAST position. Some mo- dels have a separate choke knob. Pull the choke knob to the full CHOKE position.

5.Turn the ignition key to the START position.

NOTE: If the engine does not start after four or five tries, move the throttle control to the FAST position. Again try to start the engine. If the engine will not start, see the

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART.

6.Slowly move the throttle control to the SLOW position.

7.To start a hot engine, move the throttle con- trol to a position between FAST and SLOW.

Mowing And Bagging Tips

1.For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the mower housing. See “How To Level The Mower Housing” in the Mainten- ance section.

2.For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tyres have the correct amount of air pressure.

NOTE: Illustrations and pictorials begin on page 2.

General Recommendations

1.The owner’s responsibility is to maintain this product. This will extend the life of the prod- uct and is also necessary to maintain war- ranty coverage.

2.Check the spark plug, drive brake, lubricate the unit, and clean the air filter once a year.

3.Check the fasteners. Make sure all fasteners are tight.

4.Follow the Maintenance section to keep the unit in good operating condition.

WARNING: Before you make an in- spection, adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the

spark plug. Remove the wire from the spark plug to prevent the engine from starting by accident.

NOTE: Torque is measured in metric N-m (foot pounds). This measurement describes how tight a nut or bolt must be. The torque is measured with a torque wrench.
