SAFETY
ACCIDENT PATTERNS TO AVOID
I. CONTACT WITH THE ROTATING
BLADE -- This accident usually happens
when the operator is clearing the
discharge chute of grass, (especially
when the grass is wet), or when the
operator adjusts the machine without
turning it off and waiting for the blades to
completely stop.
II. PROPELLED OBJECTS -- Sticks,
rocks, wires, and other objects can be
propelled out through the discharge
chute or from under the mower housing.
Bystanders are particularly vulnerable.
III. GRASS CATCHER OR GUARD -- The
mower shall not be operated without
either the entire grass catcher or guard
in place.
IV. OVERTURNING -- This happens when
riding mowers are used on steep slopes,
embankments or hills. The operator in
these cases can come in contact with
the blades or sustain injuries during a
fall.
V. MOWER RUNNING OVER THE VICTIM
-- This usually happens when a riding
mower is driven in reverse. The
accident victims are most often young
children whom, unseen by the operator
of the mower, were in the area being
mowed.
AT COUNTRY CLIPPER, WE SHARE OUR
DESIRE TO PROTECT OURSELF, OUR
FAMIL , OUR FRIENDS AND OUR
NEIGHBORS FROM ACCIDENTAL INJUR .
OBSERVING AND ENFORCING THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL HELP TO
INSURE THE SAFET OF EVER ONE.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. PEOPLE WHO OPERATE SERVICE
OR ARE OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED
with the Country Clipper Zero Turning
Radius Mower should be trained in its
proper use and warned of its dangers.
Before operating, adjusting, or servicing
the Country Clipper Zero Turning
Radius Mower they should read and
understand this entire manual and the
engine owner’s manual.
2. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING
PARTS. Keep hands and feet from
under mowing deck and away from
blades at all times. Turn engine (motor)
off if you must unclog the chute.
3. AVOID HILLS AND SLOPES. Use
extreme caution when mowing up or
down slopes. NEVER mow across the
face of a slope. If a slope must be
ascended, back up the slope; drive
forward when descending. Reduce
speed and use caution to start, stop and
maneuver. To prevent loss of control on
a slope avoid sharp turns, sudden
changes in direction, and sudden stops
and starts.
4. DISENGAGE POWER TO MOWER
BEFORE BACKING UP. Do not mow in
reverse unless ABSOLUTEL
necessary and then only after turning
around and observing the entire area
behind the mower. Go slowly. Most
“running over victim” accidents occur in
reverse.
5. BEGINNING OPERATORS SHOULD
LEARN HOW TO STEER the Country
Clipper Zero Turning Radius Mower
before attempting to mow. Start with
slow engine speed and drive without the
blades engaged in an open area until
comfortable with the machine.
6. KNOW HOW TO STOP QUICKLY.
Know the location and operation of every
control, especially how to brake and how
to disengage the mower blades.

4
7. DO NOT MOVE CONTROL LEVER(S)
from forward position to reverse position
rapidly. The speed and/or direction of
travel is affected instantly by movement
of the Control Lever(s).
8. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO
OPERATE MOWER. Do not allow
others who have not had instruction to
operate mower.
9. ALWAYS TURN ENGINE OFF AND
REMOVE KEY before leaving the
mower to prevent children and
inexperienced operators from starting
the engine. Never leave the mower
unattended with engine running. Always
wait for all moving parts and all sounds
to stop before leaving operator’s seat.
10. WEAR STURDY ROUGH-SOLED
WORK SHOES AND CLOSE-FITTING
SLACKS AND SHIRTS. Never operate
mower in bare feet, sandals or
sneakers.
11. KNOW THE AREA YOU ARE TO
MOW. Watch for hidden danger such
as rocks, roots, sticks, holes, bumps,
and drop-offs, etc. Before mowing, pick
up all debris in area to be mowed.
Sharp and hard objects can be propelled
at a high speed and can act like
shrapnel. Walk through tall grass
BEFORE MOWING to make sure there
are no hidden dangers. Mow higher
than desired in tall grass to expose any
hidden objects and/or obstacles, clean
the area, and then mow to the desired
height.
12. NEVER REFUEL A MOWER
INDOORS. Allow the engine time to
cool before refueling. Unseen vapors
may be ignited by a spark. Always clean
up spilled gasoline. Never run the
engine indoors in a garage or any other
closed building. Allow engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure. The
engine exhaust and gasoline fumes are
dangerous.
13. DISENGAGE BLADES BEFORE
DRIVING ACROSS WALKS or
projecting objects.
14. NEVER REMOVE THE FUEL CAP or
add gasoline to a running or hot engine
that has not been allowed to cool for
several minutes after running. Always
make sure the gas cap is in place.
15. NEVER CARRY PASSENGERS.
16. DO NOT SMOKE AROUND THE
MOWER or the gasoline storage
container. Gasoline fumes can easily
ignite.
17. KEEP GASOLINE IN A WELL-
VENTILATED AREA away from your
living quarters and in tightly-capped
safety cans. Never store mower with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach open flame or
spark.
18. DISENGAGE BLADES STOP ENGINE
AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY before
any servicing. Be sure all moving parts
and all sounds have stopped. Let
engine cool and disconnect the spark
plugs so the engine cannot start by
accident. A SLIGHT ROTATION OF
THE BLADES COULD START THE
ENGINE.
19. KEEP ALL NUTS BOLTS AND
SCREWS TIGHT to be sure equipment
is in safe working condition, especially
blade mounting bolts.
20. VEHICLE SHOULD BE STOPPED AND
INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE after
striking a foreign object and the damage
should be repaired before restarting and
operating the equipment. Stop
immediately and check for damage or
loose parts if mower should start
vibrating.
21 KEEP SAFETY DEVICES AND
GUARDS IN PLACE. If any of the
safety switches become inoperable,
have them repaired immediately.
22. DO NOT STEP OR STAND ON THE
MOWER HOUSING. Step or stand only
on the foot deck.
23. WATCH OUT FOR TRAFFIC near
roadways and when crossing roads.
24. DO NOT USE MOWER WHEN GRASS
IS WET OR SLIPPERY.
25. MOW ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. ENGINE:
For complete maintenance and
operating information for your engine,
please refer to your engine operating
and maintenance instructions furnished
by the engine manufacturer and
included in your Country Clipper Zero
Turning Radius Mower information
packet.
NOTE: Air intake screen must be kept
clean. If plugged, engine may be
seriously damaged by over heating.
2. BATTERY:
CAUTION
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS A POISONOUS
AND CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID
SOLUTION. AVOID SPILLING ON SKIN
EYES AND CLOTHING.
Keep the electrolyte level above the
plates in each cell by adding distilled
water as it becomes necessary. Add
water just before operating the mower to
mix the water with the solution. Be
careful not to overfill the battery -- the
electrolyte solution is corrosive and can
cause damage to surrounding metal
parts if it should spill. When taking the
battery out of the mower for servicing,
make sure to connect the cables to the
battery exactly as they were prior to
removal. Always disconnect the ground
( - ) wire first and always reconnect the
ground ( - ) wire last.
Keep the battery clean. Remove the
corrosion around the battery terminals
by applying a solution of one part baking
soda to four parts water. Coat all
exposed terminal surfaces with a light
layer of grease or petroleum jelly to
prevent corrosion.
NOTE: At temperatures below 32 degrees F (0
degrees C) the full charge state must be
maintained to prevent cell electrolyte
from freezing and causing permanent
battery damage.
3. TIRES:
Correct tire pressure is essential for
efficient operation of the mower. Check
tire pressure as requested in the
maintenance schedule. Inflate tires to
the pressures listed below:
Lug nuts should be torqued to 75 ft/lbs
and checked regularly for tightness.
4. MOWER BLADES:
Check sharpness of mower blades after
every 10 hours of operation. To sharpen
blades proceed as follows:
CAUTION
STOP ENGINE REMOVE IGNITION KEY AND
SPARK PLUGS FOR SAFETY.
A. Remove bolt, lock washer, and cup
washer mounting blade on shaft.
Remove blade.
B. Blades should be discarded when worn
excessively.
C. Sharpen blades with a hand file, electric
grinder or blade sharpener. Wear
gloves and eye protection when
sharpening. Grind blade at original 25
degree bevel.
D. Check balance of blade by positioning
the blade on a nail or blade balance
pedestal. Grind the blade on the end
that is heavier until both sides balance.
E. Install blade, cup washer, lock washer,
and bolt. Make sure to tighten bolt to 60
ft-lbs.

spacer slows the response.
NOTE: It is important that there is at least one
spacer on each side of the rod end ball
joints to prevent damage. Also the small
diameter of the spacer must point
towards the rod end ball joint.

12. JOYSTICK CONTROL LEVER
DETENT ADJUSTMENT:
If the Joystick Control Lever does not
lock in the “UP” position, turn the detent
adjustment screw clockwise until a
desirable locking action is obtained. If
the Joystick Control Lever is hard to
slide up and down, turn the detent
adjustment screw counter-clockwise
until a desirable sliding action is
obtained.
13. TWINSTICK CONTROL LEVER
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT:
A. Remove the fender skirts from each side
of the machine.
B. Block up the unit so that the Drive
Wheels are off the ground.
C. Start the engine and run at a fast idle
with the Steering control levers in the
“out” position.
D. Loosen the locknuts tightened against
the rod end ball joints in the Upper
Linkage Assembly. (Note: One of these
is a left hand nut and will have to be
turned backwards.)
E. Adjust the Neutral Position by turning the
rod in the upper linkage until the wheel
stops turning.
F. Retighten the nuts on the Upper Linkage
Assembly and check to see that the
drive wheel is still not turning.
G. Repeat steps B-F for the other side.
H. Shut off engine before removing the
blocks.
14. To Adjust “IN” Position of the
Twinstick Steering Control Levers:
A. Remove the Front Bolts, Nuts and
Washers which hold the Fender Cap in
place.
B. Pull the boot from the hole in the fender
cap, exposing the cast iron lever.
C. Using a 5/32” Allen Wrench, turn the
setscrew to adjust the stop.
D. Replace the Boot into the hole in the
Fender Cap.
E. Replace the Front Bolts, Nuts, and
Washers.
15. To Align Twinstick Control Lever
Handles Forward / Reverse:
A. Sit on the seat and push the control
levers full forward and full backward. If
the ends do not match the handles
maybe adjusted as follows:
B. Locate Setscrew stops in the Steering
Control Lever Base which stop the lever
in each direction. (Note: The one at the
rear is the stop for FWD and the one in
the front is the stop for REV.)
C. Adjust setscrew stops so that handles
line-up together when shifted full forward
and full reverse.

Note: To prevent damage to Control Linkages
the Control Lever must always hit on the
Stop Screws. Never adjust Stops out so
that the Control Lever “bottoms” out on
other parts of the linkage.
16. ADJUSTING FOR STRAIGHT
FORWARD TRACKING:
In a large open area, actuate the Control
lever(s) into the full forward position. If
the mower veers in either direction left or
right some adjustment is necessary. If
the mower veers to the right, then the
right hydrostat needs to be sped up. If
the mower veers to the left, then the left
hydrostat needs to be sped up.
A. Stop the machine and shut off the
engine.
B. Slightly loosen the bolt at the lower end
of the upper linkage assembly on the
side that is slower. Using a 1/8” hex
wrench turn the setscrew ¼ turn in. It
may take several test drives to get the
mower to track straight forward.
C. Once the tracking is to the operators
liking, completely tighten the bolt on the
control linkage assembly that was
loosened earlier.
D. Recheck to make sure neutral adjust
has not been effected. Readjust neutral
if necessary.
17. HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS:
Before each use, check to be sure that
the cooling fins of the hydrostatic
transmissions are clean. Excessive
accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may
cause the transmissions to overheat.
18. HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS
FLUID CHANGE (JAZEE PRO):
A SAE 20W-50 engine oil has been
selected for use by factory and is
recommended for normal operating
temperatures. Each transmission holds
a maximum of 74 oz of oil. Refer to page
17 on how to check fluid level.

It is essential that the unit exterior be
free of debris prior to fluid maintenance.
Remove the oil drain plug to facilitate oil
change. When reinstalling drain plug
torque to 180-240 in-lbs.
Remove filter from Transmission, clean
all debris from screens, and check for
any damage to filter. Replace filter if
plastic is cracked or screens are loose.
Use Part # H-2256 when reordering from
Country Clipper. When tightening filter
insure proper torque value 20-50 in-lbs
is applied. Filter is plastic. Excessive
torque will damage filter.
19. PURGING PROCEDURES:
Oil Hydrostatic Transmission
The following procedures should be
performed with the vehicle drive wheels
off the ground then repeated under
normal operating conditions.
A. With the transmission unlocked (see
page 10 for details) and engine running,
slowly move the directional control in
both forward and reverse directions 5 to
6 times, as air is purged from the unit,
the oil level will drop.
B. With the transmission locked and the
engine running, slowly move the
directional control in both forward and
reverse directions (5 to 6 times). Check
the oil level, and add oil as required after
stopping engine.
C. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 1
and 2 until all air is completely purged
from the system. When the transaxle
moves forward and reverse at normal
speed purging is complete.
Due to effects air has on efficiency in
hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical
that it be purged from the system.
These purge procedures should be
implemented any time a hydrostatic
system has been opened to facilitate
maintenance or any additional oil has
been added to the system.
The resulting symptoms in hydrostatic
systems may be:
1. Noisy operation.
2. Lack of power or drive after short
term operation.
3. High operation temperature and
excessive expansion of oil. Before
starting, make sure the transmission
is at the proper oil level. If it is not,
fill to specifications.
PROCEDURE FOR RAISING AND
LOWERING THE DECK FOR
SERVICING
1. RAISING THE DECK:
A. Remove cut height adjustment pin and
completely lower the cut height
adjustment lever. Re-insert the cut
height adjustment pin into the 3-1/2” cut
height position (this will lock the cut
height adjustment lever into the lowest
position).
B. Flip up the foot deck to allow access to
the engine to deck drive belt. Roll the
engine to deck drive belt off the center
spindle. Remove the engine to deck
drive belt from the clutch on the engine.
Flip up the Front Step on units so
equipped.
On models equipped with Deck Belt
Tension Latch carefully rotate the
Latch to release tension from the
Deck Belt.

C. On the right side of the mower, lift and
hold up on the hook keeper. Lift up on
the release handle to disconnect the
back of the deck. The latch plate
should catch and hold the release
handle rod in place. (To adjust the latch
plate, see Page 20.)
D. Position the front caster wheels so they
are away from the deck (such as the
tractor would be traveling in reverse).
E. Lift the nose of the deck until the deck
is standing vertical (lifting can be made
easier if someone stands on the rear
bumper of the tractor). IMPORTANT
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE
DECK IS LIFTED FAR ENOUGH TO
GO COMPLETELY “OVER-CENTER”.
This will prevent the deck from falling
down when servicing the underside of
the mower deck.
2. LOWERING THE DECK:
A. Push the bottom (back) of the deck
towards the rear of the tractor. Lower
the deck until it rests on the ground.
B. Lift up on the latch plate to release the
release handle rod. Push down on the
release handle until deck hooks lock into
place.
C. Install the engine to deck belt onto the
clutch on the engine.
D. Roll the engine to deck drive belt back
onto the center spindle. Insure that the
engine to deck drive belt is installed onto
all of the pulleys and idlers in the drive
train.
On models equipped with Deck Belt
Tension Latch carefully rotate the
Latch to re-tension the Deck Belt
E. Lower the foot deck down into the
operation position. On units so
equipped, lower the front step.

LEVELING THE DECK
1. Move the tractor to a hard surface (i.e. concrete or blacktop)
2. Set the tire pressure on each of the four tires to 12 psi
3. Set the deck cutting height to the highest position and rotate the two outside blades by hand until one end
of each outside blade points forward (toward the front of tractor)
4. Measure from the ground to the front blade tip of each outside blade. These measurements should be
Within 1/8” of each other. (NOTE: To simplify this measuring, an optional Blade Measuring tool, part
Number 629-374A is available from your local “Country Clipper” Dealer)
5. If necessary loosen the jam nut(s) of the Deck Hanger Bolt(s) and adjust the Deck Hanger
Bolt(s) up or down accordingly. It may be necessary to adjust both the front and rear Deck
Hanger Bolts for a given side.

6. Once the side to side cut height is within tolerance, measure from the ground to the blade tip
At the rear of each outside blade. This measurement should be between 1/8” and ¼” higher
from the ground than the front of the blade from the ground on the corresponding side of the
deck. Adjust rear and/or the front deck hangers accordingly to obtain the proper measurement.
Re-measure the side to side cutting height to confirm that they are still within 1/8” of each other
at the front of the blade.
7. Confirm that the deck is hanging firmly on ALL four deck hanger bolts. Readjust any loose
Deck Hanger Bolts accordingly.
8. Once all of the above measurements are confirmed, tighten ALL jam nuts on the Deck Hanger
Bolts. Failure to tighten can result in an un-level cutting deck and/or lost Deck Hanger
Components.
ADJUSTING THE LATCH PLATE
1. Level the deck before proceeding to adjust the latch plate. (Follow instructions on previous page.) Pin
the deck in the lowest position before proceeding to adjust the latch plate.
2. Lift up on the hook keeper, while pulling up on the release handle. This will disconnect the rear of the
deck.
3. Loosen nuts on the adjustment of the latch plate using a 7/16 wrench. Pull up on the release handle as
far as it will allow. Slide adjustment back or forward to where the latch plate will catch the release handle
rod at its highest location. Tighten nuts back.
4. Lift up on latch plate and push down on the release handle to lock deck hooks in place.
5. Double check the latch plate adjustment by releasing the deck hangers and pulling up on the release
handle. If the latch plate catches the release handle rod, no further adjustment needs to be made. If it
does not, follow steps 3-5, as needed.
