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.

4. If the height of the grass is more than 3

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

/2 to

/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

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. (Figure 12) Raise the rear of the grass bag

(9).

Before Starting The Engine

Check the oil

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac-

tory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil.

Add oil as needed. See the engine manufac-

turer’s instructions for the type of petrol and

oil to use.

1. Make sure the unit is level.

NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil

while the engine runs.

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.

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.

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.

MAINTENANCE

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.

How To Remove The Connector Tube

For good bagging performance, the connector

tube must be clean and free from grass and

debris. Remove and clean the connector tube

as follows.

To Remove

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. Move the lift lever to the middle cutting posi-

tion.

6. (Figure 15 and Figure 16) Disconnect the

rubber strap (1) from the latch pin (2) on

the connector tube (3).

7. (Figure 17) Hold the handles (4). Remove
