1. GENERAL OPERATION

• Before starting to use this machine, read,

understand and follow all instructions that are

provided in this manual. Be thoroughly familiar with

the controls and the proper use of the machine

before starting operations.

• This machine may only be operated by responsible

persons, who are familiar with the operating

instructions. Never allow children or people

unfamiliar with these instructions to use the

lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the age of

the operator.

• To prevent injury, be sure that there are no persons

in the immediate area where you are mowing. If

any person enters this area, stop the machine by

releasing the drive control bar. Never mow while

people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

• Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear

and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment

when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment

is to be used and remove all objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, bones, sticks and any other items,

which can be thrown by the machine through the

discharge opening.

• Do not pull the mower backwards, unless this

is absolutely necessary. Always look down and

behind you, before and while moving backwards.

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the

lawnmower towards you.

• Before operating the mower, make sure that all

protective screens, the grass catcher and other

protective devices are properly installed. Never

operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or

without safety devices, for example deectors and/

or grass catchers in place.

• Observe the instructions of the manufacturer, for

proper operation and installation of accessories .

Only those accessories that have been approved by

the manufacturer may be used.

• Make sure that the blade(s) of the mower is

(are) not rotating, before crossing gravel drives,

walkways or roads.

• Stop the engine (motor) and wait until the blade

comes to a complete stop, before removing the

grass catcher.

• Mowing should only be done during daylight or

under good articial lighting.

• Do not operate the machine while under the

inuence of alcohol or drugs.

• Never operate the mower in wet grass, where

feasible. Always be sure of your footing. Keep a rm

hold on the handle and walk; never run.

• Before starting the engine (motor), disengage all

blade and self-propelling mechanism or drive clutch

on mowers so equipped.

• If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop

the engine (motor) and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Keep hands and feet away from the enclosure.

• Worn parts should be referred to your local

Bushranger™ Dealer to be replaced.

• Before using the machine, inspect the machine by

visual to determine whether the cutting, fastening

bolts and the entire mower deck is worn or

damaged. To avoid an imbalance, replace worn out

or damaged cutting attachment bolts sets.

2. SLOPE OPERATION

• Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall

accidents, which can result in severe injury. All

slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a

slope, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction

on slopes.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

WARNING: Do not put hands or feet near

or under moving parts. Keep clear of the

discharge opening at all times.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

when barefoot or while wearing open

sandals. Always wear robust footwear when

mowing.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can

hide obstacles.

DO NOT:

• Do not trim near drop-o󰀨s, ditches or embankments.

The operator could lose footing or balance.

• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could

cause slipping.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert

to the presence of children. Children are often attracted

to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume

that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the trimming area and under

the watchful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine o󰀨 if children enter

the area.

• Before and while walking backwards, look behind

and down for small children.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or

each season. You may need to change the oil more

often under dusty, dirty conditions.

ADD FUEL

NOTE: Before lling fuel tank, remove and discard the

debris plug that is inside the tank. Fill fuel tank. Use

fresh, clean, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum of

95 octants. Do not mix oil with fuel. Purchase fuel in

quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel

freshness.

TO START ENGINE

NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small

amount of smoke may be present during initial use of the

product and should be considered normal.

FUEL TAP

OFF

WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage

the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system

should be emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the fuel tank, start the engine and

let it run until the fuel lines and carburettor are

empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See storage

instructions for additional information. Never

use engine or carburettor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of fuel tank ller

neck. Do not overll. Wipe o󰀨 any spilled

oil or fuel. Do not store, spill, or use gasoline

near an open ame.

1. Turn the fuel tap to the on position (See gure 9).

2. Move throttle lever to the choke/starting position.

*Pre-Run engine - move the throttle to the high/fast

position.

5. Select required speed.

6. To move forward push drive lever towards handle.

TO STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, release drive lever control bar.

• Move throttle lever to stop position.

MOWING TIPS

• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass,

it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to

reduce pushing e󰀨ort and to keep from overloading

the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings.

It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed

and /or run the lawn mower over the area a second

time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut

by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass catching and most cutting

conditions, the engine speed should be set in the

fast position.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become lled with

dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less

grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher o󰀨

with water and let dry before using.

• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean

of grass clippings and cha󰀨. This will help engine air

ow and extend engine life.

CAUTION: If the engine fails to start in

30 seconds after repeated starting

operation by pulling the starter knob, please

stop your operation and check the causes. See

trouble shooting.

3. Pull the starter handle

lightly till resistance is

felt, then pull briskly

towards yourself/upwards

return starter handle to

zone starter ring.

4. After a few seconds

move throttle away from

choke position.

FIG. 9

TO PULL

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

• The special mulching blade will re-cut the grass

clippings many times and reduce them in size so

that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into

the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched

grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients

for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine

(blade) speed, as this will provide the best

re-cutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass

tends to form clumps and interferes with the

mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is

the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried

and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the

direct sun.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

IMPORTANT: For best performance,

keep mower housing free of built-up

grass and trash. See “CLEANING” in customer

responsibilities section of this manual.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting

height so that the lawn mower cuts o󰀨 only the

top one-third of the grass blades. If the lawn is

overgrown it will be necessary to raise the height

of cut to reduce pushing e󰀨ort and to keep from

overloading the engine and leaving clumps of

mulched grass. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut by overlapping previously

cut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may

require that an area be mulched a second time to

completely hide the clippings. When doing a second

cut, mow across or perpendicular to the rst cut

path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week to week

mow north to south one week then change to east

to west the next week. This will help prevent matting

and graining of the lawn.

WARNING: Make sure all operations are

performed while the engine is stopped.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburettor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburettor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimising the formation of fuel gum deposits during

storage container. Always follow the mix ratio found on

the stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes

after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the

carburettor. Do not drain the fuel tank and carburettor

if using fuel stabilizer. Drain oil (with engine warm)

and replace with clean engine oil. (See ENGINE in

the CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section of this

manual).
