ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty

repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example,

warranty service would not apply to the product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,

warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product

has been altered or modified.

This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur be-

tween the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.

Normal Wear: Small Engine Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not

cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.

Installation: This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor

installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance.

Improper Maintenance: The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended

maintenance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator’s Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty

or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering

the product because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replace-

ment parts that are not original manufactured part(s).

Incorrect and/or insufficient fuel or lubrication: This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasolines. Dam-

age to engine or engine components ie, combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of

alternate fuels such as liquified petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or bro-

ken because product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due

to lack of lubrication are not covered.

Operational Misuse: Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator’s Manual. Product damaged by overspeeding, overheating, or opera-

tion in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or unbalanced

blades, impellers, overspeeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, or im-

proper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the Operator’s

Manual are not covered.

Routine tune-up, wear items or adjustments: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.

Other exclusions: Repair or adjustments for part(s) that are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton Corporation, are not covered, see warranty for

respective manufacturers. This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers con-

trol. Also excluded are used, reconditioned, and demonstration products.

Responsibility Of The Owner

WARNING: This cutting machine is

capable of amputating hands and feet

and throwing objects. Failure to

observe the following safety instructions

could result in serious injury or death to the

operator or bystanders.

The responsibility of the owner is to

follow the instructions below.

SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES

For Ride-On (Riding)

Rotary Mower Machines

Training

1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar

with the controls and the proper use of the

equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar

with these instructions to use the mower.

Local regulations may restrict the age of the

operator.

3. Never mow while people, especially

children, or pets are nearby.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards

occurring to other people or their property.

5. Do not carry passengers.

6. All drivers should seek and obtain

professional and practical instruction. Such

instruction should emphasize:

a. the need for care and concentration

when working with ride-on machines;

b. control of a ride-on machine sliding on a

slope will not be regained by the

application of the brake. The main

reasons for loss of control are:

• insufficient wheel grip;

• being driven too fast;

• inadequate braking;

• the type of machine is unsuitable

for its task;

• lack of awareness of the effect of

ground conditions, especially

slopes;

• incorrect hitching and load

distribution.

Preparation

1. While mowing, always wear substantial

footwear and long trousers. Do not operate

the equipment when barefoot or wearing

open sandals.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the

equipment is to be used and remove all

objects which may be thrown by the

machine.

3. WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable.

a. Store fuel in containers specifically

designed for this purpose.

b. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke

while refuelling.

c. Add fuel before starting the engine.

Never remove the cap of the fuel tank

or add petrol while the engine is running

or when the engine is hot.

d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start

the engine but move the machine away

from the area of spillage and avoid

creating any source of ignition until

petrol vapours have dissipated.

e. Replace all fuel tanks and container

caps securely.

4. Replace faulty silencers.

5. Before using, always visually inspect to see

that the blades, blade bolts and cutter

assembly are not worn or damaged.

Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts

in sets to preserve balance.

6. On multi-blade machines, take care as

rotating one blade can cause other blades

to rotate.

Operation

1. Do not operate the engine in a confined

space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can collect.

2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial

light.

3. Before attempting to start the engine,

disengage all blade attachment clutches

and shift into neutral.

4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10

degrees.

5. Remember there is no such thing as a

“safe” slope. Travel on grass slopes

requires particular care. To guard against

overturning:

a. do not stop or start suddenly when

going up or downhill;

b. engage clutch slowly, always keep

machine in gear, especially when

travelling downhill;

c. machine speeds should be kept low on

slopes and during tight turns;

d. stay alert for humps and hollows and

other hidden hazards;

e. never mow across the face of the slope,

unless the mower is designed for this

purpose.

6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy

equipment.

a. Use only approved drawbar hitch

points.

b. Limit loads to those you can safely

control.

c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when

reversing.

d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights

when suggested in the Instruction Book.

7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near

roadways.

8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing

surfaces other than grass.

9. When using any attachments, never direct

discharge of material toward bystanders nor

allow anyone near the machine while in

operation.

10. Never operate the mower with defective

guards or shields, or without safety

protective devices in place.

11. Do not change the engine governor settings

or overspeed the engine. Operating an

engine at excessive speed may increase

the hazard of personal injury.

a. disengage the power take-off and lower

the attachments;

b. change into neutral and set the parking

brake;

c. stop the engine and remove the key.

13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the

engine, and disconnect the spark plug

wire(s) or remove the ignition key

a. before cleaning blockages or

unclogging chute;

b. before checking, cleaning or working on

the mower;

c. after striking a foreign object. Inspect

the mower for damage and make

repairs before restarting and operating

the equipment;

d. if the machine starts to vibrate

abnormally (check immediately).

14. Disengage drive to attachments when

transporting or not in use.

15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to

attachment

a. before refuelling;

b. before removing the grass catcher;

c. before making height adjustment unless

adjustment can be made from the

operator’s position.

16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine

run-out and, if the engine is provided with a

shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the

conclusion of mowing.

17. Before and when backing, look behind and

down for small children.

18. Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that

may obscure vision.

Maintenance and Storage

1. On multi-blade machines, take care as

rotating one blade can cause other blades

to rotate.

tank inside a building where fumes may

reach an open flame or spark.

5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in

any enclosure.

6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer, battery compartment and petrol

storage area free of grass, leaves, or

excessive grease.

7. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear

or deterioration.

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

Maintenance section.

2. For the mower housing to cut level, make

sure the tires 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

decrease 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.
