Thank you for purchasing an Australian made Greeneld FastCut ride-on mower. Please ensure to follow the
manufacturer’s safety, operang, and maintenance instrucons for many years of trouble free operaon and service.
Before operang the mower, read the owner’s manual carefully. Your Greeneld has been designed to meet stringent
safety standards - 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. Do not allow children or any person unfamiliar with the
safe operang procedure to operate this mower.
Safety Instructions
1. Tesng the seat safety switch.
Acon: Park machine safely, sit on seat, apply park brake, set cuer engagement switch to o, start engine, switch
cuer blades on, raise body o seat but do not get o mower.
Result: Engine will begin to stop. Allow engine to fully stop. If the engine does not stop, there is a fault with the
seat safety switch. Do not aempt to use mower unl the seat safety switch has been inspected and repaired by
an authorized Greeneld dealer.
2. Do not carry passengers.
3. Know the controls. Read the operang instrucons carefully. Learn how to stop the mower and engine quickly in
an emergency.
4.
Do not mow whilst bystanders, 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.
5. 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.
6.
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. Refer Maintenance Instrucons pg. 10 for part numbers and
ng instrucons.
7.
Before using, check that the grass catcher (if installed), safety switches, and guards provided by the
manufacturer are operang properly and are ed securely. Regularly check all components on the mower to
ensure the machine is in a safe operang condion.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Replace worn or faulty exhaust muers.
11. 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.
12. 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 a 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.

13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Always disengage the cung blades before starng or stopping the engine.
16. Always mount or dismount the mower from the opposite side to the discharge chute. Always stop the engine
before dismounng. Keep hands and feet clear of the cuer deck.
17. Reduce speed, parcularly when making sharp turns, to prevent overturning or loss of control. Do not stop or
start suddenly when mowing up or down hill. The dierenal acon must be locked out when operang on any
slope to improve tracon, braking, and safety.
18. Never mow up or down hill on slopes which exceed 10°, or mow across the face of a slope which exceeds
5°. Before aempng to mow on any slope, refer to Mowing on Slopes pg.8.
19. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
20. 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. Do not drive over obstacles or guers, this
machine has a maximum clearance of 3.5” or 9cm.
21. Watch out for trac when crossing or operang the mower near roadways. Always mow with the safety grass
deector properly ed.
22. When mowing, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine while
in operaon.
23. Before leaving the operator’s posion:
(a) Disengage the cung blades.
(b) Apply the parking brake.
(c) Stop the engine and remove the starter key.
24. 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 operator’s 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).
25. Disengage the drive to the cung blades when not in use or if transporng.
26. Do not over-speed the engine or alter the governor sengs. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens engine life.
27. Use care when pulling loads or using aachments:
(a) Use only the approved draw-bar hitch point.
(b) Limit loads to those you can safely control.
(c) Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
28. Replace any unreadable warning or safety decals.
29. Do not lend or sell the mower without the owner’s manual.

Operating Instructions
Top with clean, regular unleaded petrol only. Do Not Overll. Do not ll above the high level mark on the tank. Make
sure that the petrol is free from impuries, parcularly water. The petrol tank is located inside the engine
compartment. Raise the bonnet for access. Before removing the ller cap from the fuel tank to refuel the machine,
wipe or brush the area clean to prevent any dirt or debris from accidentally falling into the tank when the cap is
removed. Do not use stale petrol in your mower - add clean, fresh fuel only.
Before Starting - Please Do Not Proceed Before Reading Safety Instructions.
Fuel
Check oil level by posioning the mower on level ground. Wipe or brush the area clean around the oil ller/ dipsck
cap, remove the dipsck and wipe clean, replace the dipsck - screwing carefully into posion. Remove again and sight
the oil level. Fill to the full mark. Do not overll. The dipsck must be rmly in place when the engine is running. Refer
to Crankcase Lubricaon pg.10 for oil recommendaons.
Engine oil
Inate to the correct pressure, 20 to 22 psi (140 to 154 KPa) in the front tyres and 12 to 15 psi (84 to 105 KPa) in the
rear tyres. Do not over inate. Over inaon will change the shape of the tyre, adversely aecng the cuer trim and
lt, and may also cause permanent tyre damage, resulng in tyre rupture and possible accident.
Tyres
The cung height adjustment lever is located in the rear cover to the front of the operator. To alter the cung height,
move the lever to the right then shi upward or downward to select the seng, then release to lock in posion. An
indicator panel displays the seng. Use the height seng in the green band for maximum belt life.
Cutting Height
The blade clutch switch is located on the right hand side of the dash panel. To ENGAGE the cuer blades, pull the
switch up. To DISENGAGE the cuer blades, push the switch down.
DANGER:
• When cuer clutch is engaged, high-speed blades are rotang.
• Never use the mower without the safety deector or grass catcher ed.
• Never aempt to dismount from the driver’s seat while engine is running.
Blade Clutch
The operator’s seat is adjustable front to rear. To adjust, push the lever on the le hand side of the seat to the le and
slide the seat forward or backward unl a safe and comfortable seang posion is obtained, then release the lever to
the locked posion. Oil the slides occasionally. The seat is ed with a safety switch. See Tesng Procedure pg.3.
Seat
Apply the park brake, disengage the blade clutch (cuers out). Turn on fuel tap (if ed). For cold starng, the choke
will need to be acvated. On single cylinder models, move the throle control lever up and into the CHOKE posion.
On twin cylinder models ed with a separate choke control, move the throle control to the FAST posion and pull
out and hold the choke control in the choke posion. Turn the starter key to the start posion for a maximum of ten
(10) seconds, to avoid overheang the starter motor. If the engine does not start, it may be ooded. Set the throle
control half way and try again.
Make sure to return the key to the RUN posion aer the engine starts or each me you aempt to start it. Once the
engine is running, move the throle control to the FAST posion on single cylinder models to turn o the CHOKE.
On twin cylinder models with separate choke control, push the CHOKE in fully for correct engine operaon.
To Start The Engine
Important - This Greeneld mower is ed with a safety ‘Cut-Out’ switch, acvated by the seat. The operator must
be seated to start the engine and remain seated while operang the mower. If the operator does not remain seated,
the engine will stop. This safety switch must be kept funconing for your protecon. Adjustment is easily done when
necessary.

In an emergency situaon, turn the key to the STOP posion.
For a normal stop, reduce the engine speed to idle on the throle control, disengage the cuer blades.
Apply the park brake and allow the engine temperature to even out by idling for approximately twenty (20) seconds.
Turn the key to the STOP posion.
Note: Some manufacturers require their engines be stopped in a dierent manner i.e. Briggs & Straon recommends
that their single cylinder engines be shut down at full revs. Please refer to the engine manufacturers book supplied with
this machine for their recommended engine stopping procedure.
Only aer the mower, the engine, and all mechanical funcons of the mower have completely stopped should the
driver dismount from the driver’s seat.
Remove the key and store out of reach of children. This will also ensure that the hour meter will not connue to run
and that power to the electric fuel solenoid valve on the carbureor is shut o.
To Stop The Engine
A simple pivoted mul-purpose foot pedal operated by the driver’s right foot
controls forward, neutral, and reverse. Apply toe pressure to move forward, heel
pressure to move in reverse. Increased toe or heel pressure provides speed
variaon in forward or reverse respecvely. Allow pedal to centralize for neutral. The
manufacturer also recommends this mul-purpose pedal be used as the principle
method of braking when operang this mower. On level ground or moving forward
downhill, the mower can be slowed or stopped by applying toe or heel pressure
opposite to the direconal movement of the mower. When moving forward up hill,
regulang the forward pressure will stop or slow the mower. Sudden or violent
direconal changes and/ or wheel spinning must be avoided. For a detailed explanaon
of the braking systems on this Greeneld FastCut mower, see the secon on Braking
Systems pg.12.
To Operate
Recommended method to proceed down slopes:
Before driving down a slope, shi the throle control to select slow engine revs.
Using toe pressure, keep the mul-purpose foot pedal engaged in the FORWARD drive posion while driving down
the slope. This will limit the forward speed of the mower to the preselected engine speed. To further adjust the
ground speed to suit the condions, use the throle control to raise or lower the engine revs while sll retaining
the necessary toe pressure on the foot pedal to keep forward drive engaged. This pracce eliminates unnecessary
wear and tear on clutches, transmissions, and tyres caused when reverse is used to slow the forward progress of the
mower on slopes. This pracce also ensures that the operator retains beer control of the machine as engaging
reverse in certain circumstances, such as wet grass, could cause the wheels to skid, which may result in loss of
control. Reverse or heel pressure will be needed to stop the mower.
IMPORTANT: Never drive a ride-on mower up or down a slope exceeding 10° or across a slope exceeding 5°.
Safe Operating Hint

Mowing on Slopes
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.
On any slope, the dierenal acon must be locked out for best tracon and braking i.e. both rear wheels driving.
Speed should be reduced on slopes, parcularly when changing direcon.
Do not stop or start on slopes or make sudden speed or direconal changes unless enrely necessary.
Never operate a ride-on mower on any slope if it is wet. Any grass in good condion on slopes can cause your
ride-on mower to slide and cause the brakes to have lile or no eect.
A ride-on mower should only be operated up and down slopes, not across.
Before operang on a slope, remove all loose maer, branches, rocks, etc. and stay clear of holes, erosion, tree roots,
etc. Such hazards can cause unexpected and instantaneous stability changes.
If a totally safe mowing procedure cannot be planned before entering a sloped area, then an alternave method of
cung the area which does not risk the safety of the operator should be used.
Never tow or use any oponal aachment on ANY slope.
Do not mow close to steep drop os.
Never mow up or down hill on slopes
which exceed 10°.
Never mow across the face of a slope
which exceeds 5°.
If the operator of a ride-on mower is not absolutely certain that a slope does not exceed the previous
recommendaons, the area should not be entered unl such me as a properly qualied person has assessed and
reported on the safety of the area.

Some Greeneld FastCut models feature a unique and patented dierenal. This dierenal oers the operator the
opon of the full dierenal acon of the rear wheels for improved steering and a ght turning circle, whilst
eliminang rear wheel scung on ne lawns. Most people will operate their Greeneld mower with the dierenal
operang at all mes. This is the preferred method of operaon and is accomplished by keeping the handle hooked
over the end of the rear axle. See illustraon below.
IMPORTANT: Do not aempt to engage or disengage the dierenal lock from the operator’s seat while the
engine is running.
In situaons such as wet areas, uneven terrain, slippery surfaces, and parcularly when working on any slope, you
must lock out the dierenal acon i.e. both rear wheels driving for improved tracon and braking. This dierenal
must also be locked out when using any aachment such as a dozer blade or when towing. Locking the dierenal is
accomplished by releasing the handle from the end of the rear axle. See B Below. Slight movement of the mower with
the front wheels, other than straight ahead, may be required to engage the locking mechanism.
To return the dierenal to the operang posion, see illustraon below, turn the steering wheel either to the le or
right. Rock the mower back and forth while simultaneously pulling out the engagement handle and locang it over the
end of the axle. Lubricate if necessary.
If the le side rear wheel is removed, make sure that the keyed engagement block slides freely into the square secon
of the engagement plate before nal ghtening of the wheel nuts.
Greeneld dierenals are fully lubricated and sealed for life at the factory. If in the unlikely event that your dierenal
needs service, it must be returned to Greeneld intact. Dierenals that have been tampered with or dismantled will
NOT be considered for warranty. Normal warranty is twenty four (24) months for private use and three (3) months for
commercial use. Extended warranty is available for up to ve (5) years for private use if the servicing condions are
maintained. See your Greeneld dealer for details. During the warranty period, service and spares for dierenals are
only available through the factory.

Maintenance
Warning: Remove the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starng BEFORE aempng any maintenance or
inspecon of the mower.
Change the engine oil aer the rst ve (5) hours of operaon, then every six (6) months or twenty ve (25) working
hours, whichever comes rst. Change more oen in heavy work or dusty condions. Drain the engine oil whilst the
engine is warm then replace. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s book supplied with this machine for specic grade
required for this engine. Briggs & Straon recommends Warranty Cered SAE 30 oil, available from Briggs & Straon
service dealers.
Fill to the full mark indicated on the dipsck. Do not overll. Check oil level by posioning the mower on level ground.
Wipe or brush the area clean around the oil ll/ dipsck cap, remove the dipsck and wipe clean, replace the dipsck
- screwing carefully into posion. Remove again and sight the oil level. Fill to the full mark. Do not overll. The dipsck
must be rmly in place when the engine is running.
Crankcase Lubricaon
Service the air lter as per the engine manufacturer’s booklet. Clean or replace more oen in dusty condions. Never
operate the engine without the lter correctly and securely ed - rapid and expensive wear to the engine will occur.
Air Filter
Remove the blower housing and clean out the grass and debris to prevent engine overheang. Refer to the engine
manufacturers booklet.
Cooling System
A maintenance free baery is ed to your machine.
Note: If the mower 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 the baery with a current not
exceeding three (3) amps per hour for three (3) to four (4) hours to prolong the baery life. Keep the outside of the
baery, especially the terminals, clean and dry and check the baery is held securely.
The maintenance of the baery is the customer’s responsibility, only faulty baeries are covered by the baery
manufacturer’s warranty. Neglect is not covered.
Battery
The rear wheel nuts should be re-tensioned aer the rst ve (5) hours of operaon to 44Nm (33  lbs), then regularly
with your preventave maintenance checks. Before re-tensioning the L.H rear nuts on models ed with dierenals,
make sure that the key engagement block slides freely into the engagement plate.
Wheels
Inate to the correct pressure, 20 to 22 psi (140 to 154 KPa), in the front and 12 to 15 psi (84 to 105 KPa) in the rear.
Do not over inate.
