ASSEMBLYTOOLS REQUIRED: 7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver (11/16" Wrench needed to adjust Clutch Tension)

NOTE: Reference to left or right sideof the mower is from operator'sposition at the handle, facing fonNard.The lawn mower is fully assembledexcept for the handle throttle control,drive control rod and clutch controlrod. Everything is packed and shippedin one container.

ASSEMBLY:1. CARTON REMOVAL

Cut the back panel, lay down pullmower backwards.

2. PARTS ID

3. TOOLS REQUIRED7/16" Wrench, Pliers, Screwdriver(11/16" Wrench needed to adjustClutch Tension)

STEP 1: Remove the grass catcher,handle assembly, and rods from the box(see Fig. 1, grass catcher not shown).

STEP 2: Attaching the handle: removethe bolts retaining the panel to the lowerhandle. You need six bolts to mount thehandle. Two of the six bolts were thoseyou just removed. The other four aresupplied with loose hardware in theplastic bag. (see Fig. 2) Take the bottomsection of the handle (Fig. 3) and installa bolt through the brace, the upperhandle section, and the panel orbracket. Put a nut on each bolt andsecure the panel or bracket on bothsides of the handle.

NOTE: The three holes in the upperhandle must be aligned with the threeholes in the lower handle. The handlebrace is put on the outside of theupper handle. Slip on the handlegrips. Soaking in hot water may easeassembly.

DRIVE CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLY:(see Fig. 4 & 5)1. Assemble drive control rod (one

piece rod with both ends bent), byinserting one bent end in the drivecontrol lever bearing and insertingthe other end in the drive pivot rod.

2. Secure the control rod with cotter pins.

ENGINE CLUTCH CONTROL RODASSEMBLY: (see Fig. 6)1. The clutchcontrol rod consistsof one

long rod with one bent end, onecoupler, two lock nuts and one shortrod with one bent end.

2. Assemble the clutch control rod byinserting the short rod bent end in theclutch bearing. The end of the rodmust be outside the belt (Fig. 6).

3. insert the bent end of the long rodin the clutch lever bearing.

4. Insert a cotter pin in each bent end,but do not secure until finaladjustment is made.

IMPORTANT! ENGINE CLUTCH RODTENSION ADJUSTMENT: (Fig. 7)1. Lift the engine clutch lever to the

handle. If there is a slight tension onthe belt, the adjustment should becorrect. The tension should be justenough to propel the mower and reelwithout the belt slipping on the pulley.

EXCESSIVETENSION WILL REDUCEBELT LIFE AND PERFORMANCE OFTHE MOWER.2 Check for correct belt tension"

CAUTION !A. Remove spark plug wire, engage

the clutch by lifting the clutchlever to the handle and pull onthe rope starter.

B. If the reel turns, the tension shouldbe correct, however, be sure tocheck if the idler bearing is puttingexcessive tension on the belt.

C. If reel does not turn, more tensionis needed. Final adjustment can bemade after reel is operating.

3. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES:A. Excessive Belt Tension: Remove

the upper rodfrom the clutchleverhandle and turn right (into thecoupler) one turn at a time untilthetension is correct.

B, Increased Belt Tension Needed:Remove the upper rod from theclutch lever handle and turn left(out of the coupler) one turn at atime until the tension is correct.

C. When the tension is correct, insertthe upper rod into the clutch leverhandle, secure the cotter pins atboth ends of the control rod andtighten the lock nuts to the coupler.At this time, replace the spark plugwire.

D. Refer to the operation instruc-tions before using mower.

f IMPORTANT !Without trapping belt, be surerod is on the outside of belt.

OPERATION

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to front wheels do not startmower before setting height adjustment. Notched height bracket atright front of mower (Fig. 14) must be placed at desired cuttingheight position.

HOWTO USEYOUR MOWERTHROTTLE CONTROL:Theenginespeed is controlledbythe throttleleverlocatedatthetopof the handle.The leveralsocontrolsstarling and stopping.

DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER:This leveris located on the left side of the mower and when raised,engages the clutch which drives the reel. For safety,when the leveris released,the reel and mowerstops immediately.

MANUAL DRIVE LEVER:The drive lever is located on the rightside of the handle. Whenpushed forward the dnve wheel engages the ground and drives themower.Activated the clutch leverfirst, thenthe drive lever to propelmower forward.

STARTING THE ENGINE1. Before starting refer to engine manual for detailed engine

manufacture'sinstruc_ons

2. Move engine choke lever to choke position. Pull rewind starterhandle rapidly, repeat if necessary. Move throttle down torunning position.

3. Lift engine clutch control and hold against handle to engagereel (Fig. 15).

4. Move drive control to DOWN position to move forward.

5. To disengage reel drive, immediately release control lever.

6. To stop enginemove throttle leverto STOP position (Rg 15).

HOW TO USE THE CONTROLS ANDWHAT THE CONTROLS DO1. From the operators position which is behindthe lawn mower,

engagesthe cuttingblade.

2. The control in the middle regulatesthe speed of the engir_e.

3. The control lever on the right engages the self-propelledmechanism.

TURN THE PRODUCT OFF1. The Engine--push the middle control all the way towards

operator to stop.

2. Cutting Blades---releasethe handle on the leftside.

3. The Self-Propelled Mechanism---release the handle on the leftside also.

CAUTIONThe Operation of any lawn mower can result in foreignobjects thrown into the eyes, which can result insevere eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or

STORAGE

MOWER:

• Clean all debris off mower and engine with a rag orbrush.

• Do not use water.

• Oil all chains and wipe off excess oil with a rag.

ENGINE:

Engines to be stored over 30 days should be completelydrained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming onessential carburetor parts, fuel filter and tank.

NOTE:

The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL®,or an equivalent,will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits duringstorage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline inthe fuel tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a storagecontainer.a. All fuel should be removed from the tank. Run the

engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

b. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.Refill with fresh oil.

c. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 cc)of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.Replace spark plug.

d. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head fins,blower housing, rotating screen and muffler areas.

e. Store in a clean and dry area.

IMPORTANT:IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITSFROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEMPARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE, ALSO,EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDEDFUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL ORMETHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICHLEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDSDURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THEFUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

OTHER:

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline can cause problems.

• Do not store your mower under any plastic cover.Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation toform and can cause your mower to rust.
