SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS
TRAINING
1.
2.
3.
Read the Operating and Service Instruction Man-
val carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the con-
trols and the proper use of the equipment.
Never allow children to operate a power mower.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
PREPARATION
1.
2.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones and other foreign objects.
Do not operate equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. Always wear substantial
footwear.
Check the fuel before starting the engine. Do not
fill the gasoline tark indoors, when the engine is
running, or while the engine is still hot. Wipe off
any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.
. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive
clutch on units so equipped before starting the en-
gine. |
. Never attempt to make a wheel adjustment while
the engine is running.
. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
. Never operate the equipment in wet grass. Al-
ways be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on
the handle and walk, never run.
OPERATION
1.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine.
. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times. | |
. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drive,
walks or roads. |
. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
remove the wire from the spark plug, thor-
oughly inspect the mower for any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting and operat-
ing the mower.
10.
11.
12.
13.
. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormal-
ly, stop the engine and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
. Stop the engine whenever you leave the equip-
ment, before cleaning the mower housing, and
when making any repairs or inspections.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make cer-
tain the blade and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire
away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
. Do not run the engine indoors.
. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes
to a complete stop before removing the grass
catcher or unclogging chute.
Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes.
Always disconnect electric mowers (line operated)
before cleaning, repairing or adjusting.
Never operate mower without proper guards,
plates or other safety protective devices in place.
Keep washout ports and other mower-housing
service openings closed when mowing.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness.
. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the
tank inside of a building where fumes may reach
an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
. Check the grass catcher bag frequently for wear
or deterioration. Replace with new bag for safety
protection.

purposes only. It must be removed and
discarded before your mower is put
into operation. |

OPERATION
NOTE
For shipping purposes your mower is
set with the wheels in a low cutting
height position. For best results, raise
the cutting position until it is deter-
mined which height is best for your
lawn. See adjustments. |
1. Service engine with gas and oil. See Engine Manual
packed with lawn mower for complete instructions
for the care and maintenance of engine. Read Di-
rections carefully.
2. When ready to start engine, place throttle control
lever on handle in “START” position and start en-
gine in accordance with instructions in engine man-
val. After engine starts, move throttle control lever
on handle to desired engine speed. The engine is
stopped by placing control lever on handle in the
“STOP” position.
3. Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or
other objects which could damage lawn mower or
engine. For best results and to insure more even
grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is ex-
cessively wet.
ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
Do not at any time make any adjust-
ment to lawn mower without first stop-
ping engine and disconnecting spark
plug wire.
STANDARD CUTTING HEIGHT
Adjustment may be made by removing and moving
wheel studs to desired position. Cutting heights will
be raised as wheel studs are moved to a lower hole
and lowered as wheel studs are moved to a higher hole
in the deck. All wheel studs must be mounted in a
relative position to the deck.
EASY CUTTING HEIGHT
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel po-
sition provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjust-
ing plate has five holes. Height of cut will be changed
when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to an-
other. Simply depress thumb lever towards wheel and
move wheel and lever assembly to desired position.
All wheels must be positioned in relative height of
cut positions. |
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Always stop engine and disconnect spark
plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any
kind of work on lawn mower.
Wheels—Wheel bearings are of self-lubricating Forti-
flex. They require no lubrication. If your unit is pro-
vided with optional ball bearing wheels, lubricate at
least once a season with light oil.
Protective Shield — The pivot points on the protective
shield should be lubricated periodically with light oil
to prevent any rust or binding.
Chute Deflector — The torsion spring and pivot point
should be lubricated periodically with light oil to pre-
vent any rust or binding. Deflector must work freely.
Engine — Follow engine manual for lubrication in-
structions.
LC ce FALES
Le
NOTE: FILL AND DRAIN OIL
FROM OIL FILL PLUG.
+
Change oil after first 5 hours of operation while engine
is warm. Thereafter, change oil every 25 hours of op-
eration while engine is warm. Engine may be drained
through oil filler opening. Be sure to replace drain
plug and oil filler cap.
MAINTENANCE
CUTTING BLADE
The blade may easily be removed for grinding or
replacement as follows:
1. Remove bolt and lock washer holding blade and
blade adapter to engine crankshaft.
2. Remove blade and blade adapter from engine
crankshaft.
3. Remove two bolts, lock washers and nuts holding
blade to blade adapter (if necessary).
When sharpening blade, follow the original angle of
grind as a guide. It is extremely important that each
cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to
prevent an unbalanced blade. An unbalanced blade will
cause excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds
and may cause damage to the mower.
NOTE
To insure safe operation of your unit,
ALL nuts and bolts must be checked
periodically for correct tightness.
Deck — The underside of mower deck should be
cleaned after each period of use as grass clippings,
leaves, dirt and other matter will accumulate. This ac-
cumulation of grass clippings, etc., is undesirable as it
will invite rust and corrosion and may cause an uneven
discharge of grass clippings at the next cutting.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower forward
or on its side and scraping clean with a suitable tool
or by washing with a stream of water from a garden
hose.
CAUTION: Do not direct the stream of water at a hot
engine as damage to the engine may result.
STORAGE — The following steps should be taken to
prepare lawn mower for storage.
1. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described
in the preceding instructions.
2. Refer to Engine Manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
3. Coat mower's cutting blade with chassis grease to
prevent rusting.
4. Place blocks under deck to raise tires clear of floor.
5. Store mower in a dry, clean area.
Handle Storage
The handle may be put in a- storage position by press-
“ing inward on the lower handle and moving it for-
‘ward. To put the handle back into the operating po-
sition simply pull the handle back. It will lock auto-
matically.
USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
For the best results do not cut wet grass because it
tends to stick to the underside of the mower, thus pre-
venting proper discharge of grass clippings. If wet
“grass must be cut, reduce walking speed to help dis-
tribute the clippings more effectively.
New grass should be treated as wet grass, otherwise
a normal walking speed is about the right pace for
efficient mowing.
The best mowing pattern is one that allows the clip-
pings to discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn.
This permits recutting of the clippings to further pul-
verize them. When cutting high weeds, discharge to-
wards cut portion then recut at right angles to first di-
rection.
Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
NOTE
The manufacturer DOES NOT recommend the use of
any accessory on this Rotary Mower other than those
manufactured by MTD Products Inc.
GRASS CATCHER Model No. 195-003A is available as optional
equipment for the mowers shown in this manual.

NOTE:
Under normal usage bag material is subject to wear and should be
checked periodically. Be sure any replacement bag complies with the
mower manufacturer's recommendations. |

IMPORTANT |
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine , remove wire from
spark plug. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the mower.
