To reduce this potential, comply with the following safety instructions. The following instructions have been adapted from the ANSI/OPEI standard B71.1-2012. Contents This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and of throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. Introduction ........

Slope Operation refuel such equipment with a portable container rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. • 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.

3 Filling the Engine with Oil No Parts Required Procedure Important: Your machine does not come with oil in the engine, but it does come with a bottle of oil. Before starting the engine, fill the engine with oil. Max. fill: 0.59 L (20 oz), type: SAE 30 detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then do the following: Figure 4 1. Handle lock 2. Pin 1.

the Full mark on the dipstick; refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 15). Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too low or too high and you run the engine, you may damage the engine. 6. Install the dipstick securely. Important: Change the engine oil after the first 5 operating hours; change it yearly thereafter. Refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 15). 4 Assembling the Grass Bag No Parts Required Procedure 1. Slip the grass bag over the frame as shown in Figure 7. g027121 Figure 8 1 3.
PAGE 8
Product Overview Operation Filling the Fuel Tank DANGER 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 machine 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.
PAGE 9
• Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel 6. Install the dipstick securely. containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used. • Do not add oil to gasoline. Adjusting the Cutting Height Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel, mixing it with gasoline less than 30 days old. WARNING Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing serious injury.
PAGE 10
Using the Self-Propel Drive Starting the Engine • To engage the self-propel drive: Squeeze the 1. Hold the blade-control bar against the handle (Figure 13). self-propel-drive bar against the handle and hold it (Figure 15). Figure 13 1. Blade-control bar 2. Pull the recoil-start handle (Figure 14) lightly until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply, and allow it to return to the rope guide on the handle slowly. Figure 15 1. Self-propel-drive bar Note: The maximum self-propel-drive speed is fixed.
PAGE 11
Bagging the Clippings Side-Discharging the Clippings Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf clippings from the lawn. Use side discharging for cutting very tall grass. WARNING If the grass bag is on the machine, remove it; refer to Removing the Grass Bag (page 11). A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown at you or in the direction of bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or death to you or to bystanders.
PAGE 12
Storing the Machine in the Vertical-Stow Position During the mowing season or in the off-season, you can store your machine in the vertical position to minimize storage space. DANGER Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others. Figure 18 • Storing the machine in the vertical position when there is too much gasoline in the fuel tank may cause gasoline to leak from the fuel tank. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
PAGE 13
• Be aware of a potential fire hazard in very dry conditions, follow all local fire warnings, and keep the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris. • Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization. • If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try 1 or more of the following: – Replace the blade or have it sharpened. – Walk at a slower pace while mowing. – Raise the cutting height on your machine. – Cut the grass more frequently.
PAGE 14
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily Before storage Yearly • Check the engine-oil level. • Ensure that the engine stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade-control bar. • Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.
PAGE 15
Changing the Engine Oil Service Interval: After the first 5 hours Yearly Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants. 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2. Refer to Preparing for Maintenance (page 14). 3. Remove the dipstick (Figure 23). Figure 25 5. Return the machine to the operating position. 6. Pour about 3/4 of the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase. Figure 23 Note: Max. fill: 0.
PAGE 16
Replacing the Blade Service Interval: Yearly Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened and balanced, or replace it.
PAGE 17
Adjusting the Self-Propel Drive 2. Move the machine onto a flat paved surface. Whenever you install a new self-propel cable or if the self-propel drive is out of adjustment, adjust the self-propel drive. 3. Wash out the area under the rear deflector where the clippings go from the underside of the machine to the grass bag. 4. Attach a garden hose that is connected to a water supply to the washout port (Figure 29). 1. Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to loosen the cable adjustment (Figure 28).
PAGE 18
Storage 2. Fold the handle forward either to the vertical position or the fully forward position as shown in Figure 30. Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place. Important: Route the cables to the outside of the handle knobs as you fold the handle. Preparing the Machine for Storage WARNING Gasoline vapors can explode. • Do not store gasoline more than 30 days. • Do not store the machine in an enclosure near an open flame. • Allow the engine to cool before storing it. 1.
PAGE 19
Remove the Machine from Storage 1. Check and tighten all fasteners. 2. Remove the spark plug and spin the engine rapidly by pulling the recoil-start handle to blow the excess oil from the cylinder. 3. Install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque wrench to 20 N-m (15 ft-lb). 4. Perform any maintenance procedures; refer to Maintenance (page 14). 5. Check the engine-oil level; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 9). 6.
