Thank you for purchasing an Australian made Greeneld product. Your Greeneld I.P.D (Industrial Power Drive) Slasher
is built for tough work and is ideal for large area lawn mowing and heavy scrub clearing. Please ensure to follow the
manufacturers safety, operang, and maintenance instrucons for many years of trouble free operaon and service.
Before operang the mower, read the owners manual carefully. Do not allow children or any person unfamiliar with
the safe operang procedure to operate this mower. Your Greeneld has been designed to meet stringent safety stan-
dards - but we remind you that a mower is a cung device - used incorrectly, it may cause personal injury or death.
Remove the key from the machine when not in use.
Safety Instrucons
1. WARNING - Disconnect the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starng before aempng any inspecon or main-
tenance.
2. Do not mow whilst people, especially children or pets, are in the mowing area. Children should be kept safely
supervised. Never assume that children will remain outside of the cung area. Do not reverse before looking
behind.
3. Ensure that the area to be mowed is clear of scks, stones, boles, bones, wire, and other debris that could be
thrown by the blades.
4.
Do not operate the machine without rst inspecng the blades, blade bolts, and blade holder for wear or
damage. Damaged blades or bolts are hazardous.
Always replace blades and blade bolts in sets to preserve
balance. Replace worn or damaged parts with genuine Greeneld replacement parts only. Use of inferior, non-
genuine service parts could result in damage or personal injury.
5. Never mow while barefoot or wearing sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes. It is also important
to wear suitable hearing and eye protecon.
6. A mower operator should be in good physical and mental health and not under the inuence of any drug, alcohol
or any other substance that could impair vision, coordinaon or judgment.
7. Always refuel outdoors away from any ame sources. Do not smoke whilst refueling the engine, or fuel near a
source of ignion, such as electrical switches or gas hot water heater. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank
or add petrol whilst the engine is running or if the engine is hot, always allow to cool. Remove fuel cap slowly to
relieve any tank pressure. Do not overll the fuel tank. If petrol is spilled, do not aempt to start the engine, move
the machine away from the spill area and wipe the machine dry with a clean rag. Do not aempt to start the
machine unl all petrol and vapours have dissipated.
8. Check for fuel leaks when refueling. If a fuel leak is detected, do not start the engine unl the fuel leak is xed and
the spill is wiped away.
9. Use only an approved container for storing fuel. Never store fuel or the fueled machine in an unvenlated area or
near a source of ignion such as electrical switches or a gas hot water heater.
10. Do not run the engine in a conned space where carbon monoxide and poisonous exhaust fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, deadly poisonous gas.
11. Always disengage the cung blades before starng or stopping the engine. NEVER walk in front of the Slasher
when the engine is running, even if the drive clutch is out.
12. Never mow up or down hill on slopes which exceed 10 degrees, or mow across the face of a slope which exceeds
5 degrees.
13. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
14. Before crossing paths, driveways, or any other area foreign to mowers, reduce engine speed, disengage the cung
blades, and li the cung aachment to maximum height.
I.P.D Slasher Mower

4
1. Exercise extreme cauon when operang a ride-on mower on a slope. Slopes are a major cause of p-over and loss
of control accidents involving ride-on mowers. Severe injury or death can occur.
2. The manufacturer recommends that the single front castor wheel be replaced with the oponal dual wheel
assembly (GT00999) before aempng to mow any slope.
3. Owing to inadequate reacon to hazard mes, the large (fast) drive dogs should be replaced with the standard
small drive dogs when working on slopes.
4. Plan a mowing procedure that does not require sudden direconal changes or the drive to be engaged or
disengaged while on a slope.
5. Never operate on a mower on any slope if it is wet.
6.
A walk-behind mower should only be operated across a slope, never up or down. Disengage the drive clutch or
misplaced foong while working up or down an incline could result in the mower rolling back onto the operator or
running out of control down the slope.
7.
Before operang on a slope, remove all loose maer, branches, rocks, etc. and stay clear of holes, erosion, and tree
roots, etc. Such hazards can cause unexpected and instantaneous stability changes.
8. Do not use the grass catching aachment on slopes.
9. Do not mow close to steep drop os.
10. If a totally safe mowing procedure cannot be planned prior to entering a sloped area, an alternave method of
cung this area which does not risk the safety of the operator should be used.
If the operator of this Slasher is not absolutely certain a slope does not exceed the previous recommendaons, the
area should not be entered unl such me a properly qualied person has assessed and reported on the safety of the
area.
Mowing on Slopes
15. Watch out for trac when crossing or operang the mower near roadways. Always mow with the safety grass
deector properly ed.
16. Disengage the drive to the cung blades and stop engine:
(a) Before refueling.
(b) Before removing the grass catcher or any aachment.
(c) Before making a height adjustment, unless adjustment is being made from the operators posion.
(d) Before clearing blockages. (e) Before inspecng, cleaning, or working on the mower.
(f) Aer striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for damage and make necessary repairs before
restarng and operang the machine).
(g) If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
17. Disengage the drive to the cung blades when not in use or if transporng.
18. Do not over-speed the engine or alter the governor sengs. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens engine
life.
19. Do not allow grass, garden debris or grease to build up on the mower, parcularly around the engine. This
could be a re hazard.
20. Replace any unreadable warning or safety decals. 21. Do not lend or sell the mower without the owners
manual.
22. Mow only in good daylight.
23. Walk, never run whilst mowing.

Throle Control
To maintain the correct uid level in the baery, top with dislled water only to the high level mark shown on the
baery.
Note: If the I.P.D is not used for at least ve (5) hours a month, the baery will discharge and could sustain permanent
damage. Do not allow the baery to discharge. Regularly trickle charge with a current not exceeding 3 amps per hour
for three (3) to four (4) hours to prolong baery life. Keep the outside of the baery, especially the terminals, clean and
dry and check the baery is held securely.
Dry Baery: When inially charging a new DRY baery, each cell must be lled to the high level shown on the baery
with an electrolyte (dilute sulphuric acid) with a specic gravity of 1.26 at 20°C to 30°C. The baery must then be
allowed to stand for thirty (30) minutes before charging at a rate not exceeding 3 amps for four (4) hours.
Warning:
Persons not trained in the proper procedure to transfer uids containing acid or do not have the
necessary safety equipment on hand in case of a spill or exposure, should not aempt this procedure. Contact the
baery manufacturers local agent or an authorized Greeneld dealer.
Baery
Change the engine oil aer the rst ve (5) hours. Change more oen in heavy work or dusty condions. Drain the
engine oil whilst the engine is warm, then replace. Fill to the full mark indicated on the dipsck. Do not overll. Refer
to the specic manufacturers book to conrm oil and oil lter recommendaons and the precise method of checking
the oil level.
The components of the gearbox have been lubricated prior to the gearbox being sealed at the factory. The shas run
in large sealed ball bearings. No further lubricaon of the gearbox is required.
Lubricate all other pivong joints, lever points, and slides with engine oil.
Lubricaon
Electric start models have a key turn starter switch mounted in the control console. Turn the key OFF to stop the engine.
Electric Start
Maintenance
Service the air lter as per the specic engine manufacturers book. Clean or replace more oen in dusty condions.
Never operate the engine without the air lter correctly and securely ed, rapid and expensive wear will occur.
Air Filter
There are two (2) sizes supplied. The smaller set is for slow speed, heavy grassed areas, conned or uneven areas. The
larger set is for at, larger, regularly mown areas. To change the drive dogs, disengage the drive, stop the engine and
disconnect the spark plug lead to prevent accidental starng. Remove the nyloc nut and washer from the end of both
drive shas and slide o the drive dogs. Fit the new drive dogs onto the drive shas, making sure that the recess in the
end of the dogs engages over the pins in the drive sha. Ret the washers, nyloc nuts, and reconnect the spark plug
lead.
Drive Dogs
Check the pressure - inate to the correct pressure, 20psi (140 KPa). Do not over inate.
Tyres
Debris may clog the engines cooling system. Remove the blower housing and clean out grass debris to prevent
overheang and engine damage.
Cooling System

Check condion of blades, blade bolts and blade holder. Replace if damaged or
worn. Worn or damaged blades and bolts are a major hazard. Always replace worn
or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
Use only Genuine Greeneld branded replacement blades and bolts. Use of infe-
rior non-genuine replacement parts on your Greeneld could result in costly dam-
age or even personal injury.
Part numbers for blades and bolts are:
Blade set GT02140
Bolt set GT02110
Blade & Bolt set GT02141
To t new blades refer to illustraon A.
Tighten the blade bolt nut rmly. Correct torque is 44 Nm (32 .lbs). Blades must
be free to move but not loose. Lightly oil the blade pivot point before ng.
Blades
Clean o all grass and other debris before storing. Scks, stones, or an accumulaon of grass and other debris will
damage belts and fracture pulleys if they go through between the pulley and belt. When operang in these condions,
the cuer deck may require more frequent cleaning.
Never wash your I.P.D with a high pressure gun. Water and dirt could bypass the seals in the bearings causing
premature bearing failures and rusted pivot points.
Allow your I.P.D to cool aer use. The quenching contracon eect from hosing the machine when it’s at operang
temperature could also draw water and dirt into the bearings.
The best way to clean your I.P.D is to use a low pressure air hose or garden blower to blow the loose grass, etc. from
around the pulleys, belts, and the top of the cuer deck. Wash the exterior the same as you would your car. For
maximum machine life, do not spray water on the engine, pulleys or bearings. Re-oil all pivots aer washing.
