Forward Travel

Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive clutch lever to power the mower in a forward direction.

When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas.

Ground speed may be adjusted by operating the speed variator control.

Push forward to slow down and pull back to speed up. Only operate the lever with the engine running to prevent damage.

If the cutterblade stop lever is released the cutterblade will stop.

Reverse Travel

Hold and pull against the handlebar with both hands to reverse the mower.

Turning

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direction required.

To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch lever, apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.

To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower excessively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower when the engine is running.

1.16

OPERATING THE MOWER

Stopping

Release both ground drive clutch lever and the cutterblade stop lever.

Pull the throttle lever to the rear most position.

Emergency stop If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead.

STOP

CS146

Slopes

To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees.

Height of Cut

To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position and ensure it locks firmly into one of the eight setting notches.

Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim to prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.

1.17

OPERATING THE MOWER

Before Mowing

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remember the location of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.

56CTH11B

Grassbag

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower the rear deflector to rest against the rear of the mower.

To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass collection depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine overloading.

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position.

CS386

1.18

OPERATING THE MOWER

Heavy Growth

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.

To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third of grass height in one cut.

Blade Brake Clutch

A device in the blade brake/clutch helps minimise damage to the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed, the device will automatically reset.

Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to “Maintenance”.

Non-Grassed Areas

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the cutterblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism.

LAWN CARE CALENDAR

To be used as a guide only.

January

There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.

February

Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.

March

The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally sufficient this month.

April

Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.

May

Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selective weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not feed the lawn in April.

June

Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control.

Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.

July

Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a general rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

1.20

LAWN CARE CALENDAR

August

Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weather conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.

September

Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the roots from the winter frost and snow.

October

Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.

November

Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf free from leaves.

December

Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.

Lawn Stripes

The way to achieve a neat striped effect is for the lawn being cut in parallel stripes, alternate stripes being mown in opposite directions.

A much more important routine is to cut at right angles to the line of the previous mowing. If the work has been carried in a north-south line, then the next cutting should be in an east-west direction. The cross-cutting keeps down the coarse weed grasses.

1CG480V05A

Briggs & Stratton service dealer.

1

Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge and set at 0.76mm.

Keeping Engine Clean

Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the exhaust/exhaust guard, the air ways in the top cowl and the surrounding deck areas on a daily basis after use. Never spray the engine with water during cleaning. Water can contaminate the fuel. Always clean with a brush or compressed air.

Grass and debris may clog the engine’s air cooling system especially after prolonged operation while cutting tall, dry grass. The internal cooling fins and surfaces may require cleaning to prevent overheating and engine damage. We recommended that this service be carried out by an authorised Hayter Service dealer.

Grassbag

Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately after use and check its condition for signs of damage.

To prevent accidents replace a damaged grassbag immediately.

Note this is a temporary adjustment and at the nearest opportunity a service should be carried out to ensure the spring on the clutch cable attached to the gearbox clutch. This adjustment should be done using the metal adjuster at the control with the plastic adjuster reset fully wound in. When the spring is set tighten the inner lock nut to secure position.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

Cutterblade Removal

1CG480V33D

Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool. Turn the mower on its left hand side and ensure that the air cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.

Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove the bolt, spring washer and distance piece securing the cutterblade with a 9/16” A/F spanner.

To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts.

The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cutterblade is not bent or cracked.

A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.

Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened to the specified torque of 54Nm.

Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or damaged.

To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower on its side.

Cutterblade Assembly

Assemble the cutterblade (2) with the turned up edges facing towards the engine. Secure the cutterblade using two new fixing screws and tighten to a torque of 55Nm.

To prevent accidents never reuse the fixing screws.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

Cutterblade Sharpening

A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.

Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage.

Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance.

30-45

Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will remain horizontal.

If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.

Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

Storage

To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficiently to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through contact with the engine.

Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Briggs &

Stratton fuel additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower is maintained in good working order it is important that the following procedure is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.

Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops.

Disconnect the spark plug lead.

Change the engine oil.

Remove the engine spark plug and pour 15ml of engine oil into the engine cylinder and replace the spark plug. Do not exceed the stated volume of oil as engine damage may occur on re-starting. Do not

replace the spark plug lead. Slowly pull the engine start - grip once to crank the engine. This will distribute the oil and help prevent engine corrosion.

Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.

Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.

Lubricate the mower.

Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.

Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilated area.
