and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
DANGE
R
1.1 GENERAL OPERATION
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before
starting.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate this machine.
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by the blade(s).
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the
area.
NEVER CARRY PASSENGERS while mowing - EVEN IF YOURS is a TWO-UP ATV!
When operating the ATV Mounted Mower – ALWAYS
attach the clip end of the Tether Chord to your belt,
until you dismount from the ATV. The switch the chord
is attached to will shut off the mower’s engine if pulled
deliberatel
y
or b
y
inadvertent dismount from the ATV
DANGE
R
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and
while backing up.
Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall
or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing
gravel surfaces.
Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, or other
safety devices in place and working.
Do not wear loose clothing.
Slow down before turning.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blade(s), set parking brake,
stop engine and remove key before dismounting.
Disengage blade(s) when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a
complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the
discharge guard.
Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.
Always wear eye protection when operating machine.
Data indicates operators age 60 years and above are
involved in a large percentage of riding mower-
related injuries. These operators should evaluate
their ability to operate the riding mower safely
enough to protect themselves and others from serious
injury.
WARNING
1.2 SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you
feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop or shift while on a slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.
Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and
coast downhill.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the
blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.
Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other attachments; they
can affect the stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.
1.3 CHILDREN
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.
WARNING
Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of the responsible adult other
than the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.
Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past
may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
Never allow children to operate the machine!
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view of a child.
1.4 TOWING
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment
except at the hitch point.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on
slopes.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
1.5 GENERAL SERVICE
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. Repair, if necessary, before
restarting.
Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
Check grass catcher components and discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

3. SETUP
3.1 Mower Deck Assembly
Step 1. Remove the components from the shipping container:
1. The assembled deck.
2. The packaged height adjustment handle.
3. The tower assembly kits, packaged with the height adjustment handle.
Step 2. Note the Serial Number of the Deck - it is located as shown in the attached pictures!
Step 4. Prop the back of the deck up slightly – 2” – and remove the two bolts holding the rear
height adjust links going over the deck – see picture.
Step 4. Remove the deck drive shield so the drive pulleys are visible.
Step 5. Rotate the rockshaft backward 90° and install the height control handle using the
hardware provided and in the manner shown in the picture! Remove the tywrap holding the
spring with a pair of side cutters, then pull inwards to compress the spring and rotate the rod
upwards and into place so the height control lever contacts the height detent bracket.
Remove this hardware in
order to install the height
control lever bolt.
Height control lever
retaining bolt.
NOTE – Shown is the bracket on the LH
side of the deck which controls the
position that the horizontal hei
g
ht control
rod is fixed at from ri
g
ht to left on the
mower deck. It can be ad
j
usted to
position the hei
g
ht control handle closer
or farther from the operator once the
mower is installed on the ATV. It may
need to be ad
j
usted to assist in
mounting the height control lever!
Step 6. Reconnect the two bolts holding the rear of the height control links into place.
Step 7 – Install the chain restrain towers – flatten them by hinging them down, with the chains
and instruction labels attached. Lock the towers in place by spreading the center of the cotter
pin to retain the towers to the mower deck!
Step 8. Visually check that all of the safety decals are in place and readable.
The deck is now ready to be joined to the power unit.
3.2 Mounting Mower to Power Unit
Step 1. Insert the tubes of the Power Unit into the matching brackets on the mower deck as
shown. You may need to manoeuvre the Power Unit into place by grasping the rear nerf bar and
wheeling it into position
Step 2. Secure the Mower Deck to the Power Unit with the provided locking hardware!
Step 3. Install the drive belt – which comes with the Power Unit - that goes from the drive pulley
on the Power Unit under the Motor to the driven pulley on the mower deck. In order to
accomplish this, follow these steps:
1. Remove the Deck drive shield
2. Loosen the 4 bolt and nut assemblies that hold the motor in place.
3. Loosen the 2 adjuster bolts at the rear of the engine plate.
4. Slide the engine completely forward to the mower deck.
5. Loop the drive belt around the driven pulley on the deck and thread it through the two
sets of idlers and place it onto the drive pulley beneath the engine. Ensure that the belt
is running in position and is not twisted, before tensioning.
Picture illustrates the correct
belt routing between the
idlers on the power unit.
(bottom view shown)
6. Manually slide the engine plate rearward to put some tension on the belt and then
tighten it with the two tensioning bolts at the rear of the power unit frame.
7. The belt tension should be tight enough that by reaching beneath the mower in the
center section of the power unit, that it takes 7.5 lbs of pressure to deflect the belt 1/2
when grasped just below the opening in the covering plate.
Vertical bolts (with wrench in
place) are to lock the en
g
ine
plate in place and the bolts at
the rear are to provide
tension.
IMPORTANT DO NOT over-tighten the belt – over-ti
g
htenin
g
the belt will
cause excessive heat build up in the belt and premature belt
wear!
Step 4. Re-Install the deck drive shield.
Step 5. It is possible to start the mower at this time, before it is mounted to any ATV. If you
choose to do so, follow these steps:
xEnsure that there is nothing under the cutting deck that has been inadvertently left
on the ground that would contact the blades – push the mower forward and rear to
visually check!
xBlock the pneumatic wheels both forward and rearward so the mower does not
move.
xEnsure there are no personnel within 4 ft of the deck and there is no one in line of
the discharge at any time.
xTurn the fuel valve – located at the bottom of the tank – to the ON or vertical
position – visually check for fuel flow through the filter body.
xOn initial start up, allow the engine to run for 3 – 5 minutes before engaging the
mower deck – the choke should be “removed” right after start up by pulling the
throttle lever towards the operator or the mower deck until the engine runs at
maximum RPM without choke.
xEngage the mower deck by moving the toggle to ENGAGE or UP position.
xInitial start up of a new deck may take several (3 – 5) attempts to get the
mower deck up to full speed – because of 5 spindle assemblies and a new
belt.
xOnce up to speed – allow the mower to run for 5 – 10 minutes – this is a “break-in”
period. This break in period will ensure that the customer’s first experience with the
HyperCut Mower engages the deck directly from first operation!
xDisengage the drive to the mower deck, by moving the toggle to RUN or the center
position (the mower deck – rotating blades - should disengage immediately) – idle
the engine and shut off with the ignition key.
xRe-start the mower following the previous procedure – place the toggle in RUN
Position) and pull the red Safety Tether from the switch – the engine should SHUT
OFF in within 2 seconds. If it does not - consult the Troubleshooting section of the
Power Unit Manual before proceeding with mounting the Mower to an ATV.
xTurn OFF the Ignition Switch; Re-install the safety tether on its switch, shut off the
fuel valve!
3.3 Mounting the Mower ATV
NOTE - General Principles for mounting the HyperCut Mower to the ATV!
1. The mower is to be centered from the front to the rear, allowing for turning of the
assembled unit and the actuating the mower height control lever!
2. The floating hitch at the rear is horizontal when installed and attached to the ATV!
3. The mower is centered from left to right under the ATV using the chains supplied to loop
around a frame member on the ATV
4. The excess chain is removed but cutting it off as instructed on the orange tags, which
come attached to the end of the chain!
5. The ATV/Mower Unit is maneuvered left to right and with the deck up and down for
minimal left to right movement – less than 1.0”
This initial fit up – HyperCut Mower to ATV - should take place on a flat hard surface that
has enough room to mount the mower to the ATV, and then manoeuvre the assembled unit!
Step 1 - Install the supplied Pin – Part # 88652 in the ATV as shown – place the pin through the
top and the large washer on the top of the ATV hitch. Assemble the lock washer from the
bottom and tighten the nut with a wrench or socket.
NOTE – tighten the hitch pin securely – to
150 ft-lbs (230.5 Nm). The HyperCut is
“
pushed” by the ATV throu
g
h the hitch pin,
this must be secure as instructed - failure
to do so will result in dama
g
e to the ATV
or the mower and/or both – or personal
injury to the operator.
INFORMATION – the HyperCut Mower has a universal mount system that accommodates a 7.5”
or taller ground to hitch height. If your mower has a hitch height that is between 7.0” to 7.5”
(measured from the ground on hard surface - to the top of the ATV hitch) it is still possible to
mount the mower to your ATV, but it will require some additional care in mounting and
dismounting the ATV from the mower.
Step 2 - Block the pneumatic wheels of the mower with two wooden 2” x 4”s.
NOTE – ALWAYS Block the Wheels on
your HyperCut Mower when attaching or
detaching the mower from your ATV!
Mower Hei
g
ht Control Lever
Step 3 - Pull inwards and push to the full forward position on the mower’s height control lever to
make the deck as low to the ground as possible to make it easier to reverse the ATV over the
mower deck.
Step 4 – Back the ATV up over the mower deck in REVERSE - SLOWLY!
IMPORTANT - Hold your hand over the brake lever to assist in making quick unanticipated
stops when driving over the mower deck.
Step 5 - When the ATV contacts the ground with all 4 wheels, and the mower between the ATV
wheels – shut off the ATV and place it in neutral for manual maneuvering.
Step 6 – Remove the floating hitch (by removing the bolt/pivot – with the swivel and number of
holes) – from the hitch tower and attach it to the vertical hitch pin that was installed on the ATV
hitch pin, place the over center pin supplied to hold the hitch swivel bracket to the ATV hitch.
NEVER operate or even move your
ATV with mower attached without
the horizontal safety pin in place –
failure to have installed will allow the
mower to become disconnected from
the ATV and damage to the ATV or
Mower and/or the operator may
result.
NOTE – remove this bolt, then
slide the hitch onto the pin
mounted on the ATV – then
reinstall the bolt to make the front
to back adjustment!
Step 7 – Center the mower (front to rear) in the space between the ATV wheels. Manoeuvre
the mower by grasping the rear curved nerf bar and push and pull it until the mower is centered
between the front and rear wheels of the ATV. Install the floating hitch bolt in position that
allows for a horizontal positioning of the hitch.
Check for clearance at the
front wheels at upper and
lower height extremes of
steering movement!
Check for clearance at the
rear wheels at upper and
lower height extremes of
steering movement!
NOTE – the hitch with the
swivel can be installed in
either the “L – UP” or “L-
Down” positions as shown.
What is important is that the
floating hitch member is in
the horizontal position when
installed on your ATV!
NOTE – Always place this
bolt in the rear set of holes
(on the tower) when
installed.
NOTE – if finer adjustment is required for front to rear movement,
after the closest hitch bolt hole has been selected, the entire hitch
tower assembly can be ad
j
usted with by loosenin
g
the 4 bolts that
hold the hitch assembly to the Power unit frame – ad
j
ustin
g
the deck
front to back then re-tightening the hardware.
NOTE – if your ATV has independent suspension and the hitch height changes with an operator
on-board, then have a person sitting on the ATV when you “level” the L-hitch assembly to your
ATV.
Replace the bolt in the hitch tower and ensure that the locking section of the nut is
engaged when installed, with a minimum of 2 or 3 threads exposed!
Check the centering of the mower to the ATV from front to rear by turning the steering
bars of the ATV from full left to full right and with the mower deck in both the Full – UP and
Full – Down mowing positions with the deck height lever. In all instances the deck height
mechanism should clear both tires evenly and in no circumstance contact the ATV tires. Readjust
if necessary before proceeding!
Step 8 – Centering the mower from side to side beneath the ATV can be accomplished by
placing the handle bars so the ATV front wheels point straight ahead, and measuring how much
of the deck is visible on either side of a straight line drawn from the rear wheel rims forward.
Step 9 – Attach the mower to the ATV with the chains and chain towers provided!
Once the brackets are in the deck, insert the provided cotter pin and when installed – “separate”
the center part of the pin with a screw driver, hammer it lightly into place and then rotate the
screwdriver 90 degrees to ensure the cotter pin can not be withdrawn.
With the deck centered as you did in Step 9 – take the 4” chain attached to each “tower” and
find a location on the frame that will allow you to securely loop the chain around and then bring
it back to the tower, attach it with the provided quick release D-Pin to the other side of the
tower!
Repeat on the opposite side – note the location points you anchor the chain to should be on a
direct line from one tower to the other or as direct as possible!
Move the deck from side to side manually and by pushing forward, reverse and up/down on the
nerf bar at the rear of the mower – tighten the chain one link on either side if required!
Looping the chain around your frame should be done in a secure place to the frame of the ATV,
there should be a connection point that is a minimum of 12” inward from the “tower” and as
much as possible, the connection point - should be in-line with the tower on the other side. Use
the provided D-Pins to lock the chain in place to the tower, the other side of the tower is bolted
to the chain!
NOTE - When installed - the tether chains are secure, but they will remove some paint from
your ATV at the attaching point when the deck operates and moves underneath you ATV as you
are mowing. If this minor paint removal is not satisfactory because of its visibility -
then find a non-visible and SECURE location in another location on the ATV!
Step 10 – Trim the excess and unneeded chain from both sides of the chain towers!
IMPORTANT – DO NOT OPERATE MOWER until all excess chain is trimmed from the
connection to the mower towers to the ATV – cut the chain to the minimum length required to
operate the mower. Failure to trim/cut chain to minimum length may cause damage to rotating
drives, cutting blades, the operator and/or bystanders.
Step 11 – Operate the ATV/Mower Unit around in the area at speeds not over 5 mph (or 8 kph)
to ensure that the connections are secure and nothing has moved or shifted in the attaching
points. Operate the unit SLOWLY - in reverse - turn right and left and then recheck for
movement from right to left when operating forward at 5 mph.
3.4 Removing and Re-attaching the Mower
When disconnecting the HyperCut Mower from your ATV, take the following Steps:
NEVER disconnect the ATV from the HyperCut Mower
with the mower engine running – ALWAYS shut the
mower engine off before disconnecting from the ATV.
WARNING
Step 1 - Stop the ATV where you want to leave the mower and SHUT OFF the ATV and place
in PARK and apply the handbrake.
Step 2 - Disconnect the chains from both sides of the ATV - which connect the mower deck
to the ATV by removing the D-pins, and lay the towers down flat, with the chain away from the
deck.
Step 3 - BLOCK the rear pneumatic wheels of the mower – both forward and rear sides of the
pneumatic wheels!
Step 4 - Remove the retaining pin from the rear hitch and lift the swivel hitch from the hitch pin
on the ATV up and rearwards – in a resting position.
Step 5 - Grasp the mower by the nerf bar and ensure it is completely free from the ATV.
Step 6 – Re-start your ATV and - with the brake “covered” - proceed forward SLOWLY and
WITH CAUTION - driving over the deck and clearing the mower entirely and leaving it
in place until next “mowing” time.
Step 7 – In order to attach the ATV to the HyperCut Mower, reverse Steps 6 – 1.
4. Operating Section
The Quadivator HyperCut Mower mounted to an ATV is designed to produce a quality finish on
lawns, golf courses, etc. It is NOT designed to clear brush or to cut saplings.
Your HyperCut mower should be attached to an ATV in
the manner described in this manual and should not be
used for speeds exceeding 5 MPH (miles per hour) or 8
KPH (kilometers per hour).
WARNING
WARNING
The operation of any mower can produce foreign
objects to be thrown in the eyes, resulting in severe
eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or
wide vision safety goggles over spectacles before
starting any cutting machine and while operating such
a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that
are damaging to the human ear – ear protection is
recommended!
CAUTION
4.1 Making the best of your HyperCut Mower
When using your HyperCut Mower for the first time, choose a smooth level area and cut in a
straight line with slightly overlapping strips.
The size and type of the area to be mowed will determine the proper mowing pattern. Take into
account obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings.
To mow the remaining area - work in a counter clockwise direction, so the cuttings are spread
onto the previously cut area.
Most lawns should be mowed to keep the grass 2.5 to 3.0 inches (62 to 80 mm) high. Best
results are obtained by cutting often and not too short. To keep a lawn green, never mow more
than one third of the height of the grass or a maximum of 1 inch (25 mm) in one mowing.
For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height at or near the maximum height for the first
mowing or cutting pass, then lower the cutting deck to the finish height and mow again – 90º
from the first cut if possible. Allow the grass to grow to 3 inches and cut off only the top inch.
For best appearance, grass should be cut in afternoon or evening when it is free of moisture.
4.2 Cutting Height
To avoid personal injury NEVER operate
the mower in transport position!
WARNING
Check the pneumatic wheels on the HyperCut mower daily. They should have 45psi.
Cutting height can be adjusted from 1 – 3.75 inches (25 to 95 mm) to set the cutting height,
operate the RHS Height Control Lever.
On thick springy grass or soft ground, the mower’s rollers may sink into the ground giving too
low a cut – adjust the cutting height deck with the Height Control Lever to compensate for the
soft ground conditions.
Use the higher or taller settings for mowing in a rough area or when mowing high grass. Lower
settings should be used only for smooth lawns where short grass is desired.
4.3 Operating Mower
To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT Operate
the mower without discharge deflector properly
bolted in
p
lace.
DANGE
R
Keep the HyperCut Mower engine running at full throttle for best mowing results.
Control forward travel speed by ATV forward speed – DO NOT mow at more than 5 MPH or 8
KPH.
During heavy duty use, operate the machine at a slower speed or go over the area twice.
The mower will not cut cleanly if the ground speed is too high or if the blade speed drops due to
an overload.
IMPORTANT – To prevent the engine from overheating, keep the air inlet screen on
the top of the motor clean at all times!
