- Page 5 SECTION 2: MOWER SAFETY GUIDELINES Never allow untrained people to operate this machine. It is the owner’s responsibility to get training and see to it that anyone who has permission to use your machine receives the proper training. Do not mow around people. The factory discharge chute is designed to deflect debris downward, but it could be possible for debris to be thrown in a way that can cause damage to people or property.
- Page 6 2.23 Safety warning decals are located on the mower and should always be observed and followed. 2.24 Never operate the mower with the discharge chute open. 2.25 Prevent Fires—Remove grass and debris from engine compartment and muffler area, before and after operating machine, especially after mowing or mulching in dry conditions. 2.26 Do not store machine near open flame or source of ignition, such as a water heater or furnace.
- Page 7 The machine could lose traction on a decline or tip backwards on an incline. 3.14 Once you become comfortable with your Bad Boy Mower you will notice your overall mowing time will decrease.
- Page 8 SECTION 5: MOWER STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION Keep machine from collecting debris by storing in a covered area while not in use. 5.2 Fuel can harm your machine if left for more than 30 days without changing, especially if the fuel contains ethanol.

- Page 11 SECTION 10: MOWER BLADE MAINTENANCE 10.1 Check mower blades after each use. This is essential for maintaining well-groomed turf. Keep the blades sharp. If a dull blade is used for cutting, the grass will tear rather than cut. This could damage the grass leaving a brown frayed top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade will also require more power from the engine.
- Page 12 HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BLADE Essentially there are only TWO basic styles of mowing blades used or approved for use on our current products: 1) The standard style of mowing blade is essentially designed for cutting grass and effectively discharging the clippings out from the deck to fall onto the lawn or to be captured in a grass collection system.
- Page 13 75% of the hydro oil can be changed at a time. Use only 20w50 motor oil in the hydro system. (Conventional or synthetic oil may be used) Bad Boy recommends that the hydro oil and filters be changed within the first 50 hours of usage and every 500 hours thereafter or once a year.
- Page 14 SECTION 2: DRIVE BELT Shown above is a typical pump belt tesioner for Pup and Lightning models. Factory setting is about .030” (about the thickness of a credit card) between coils as shown. Shown to the right is a typical pump belt layout for most models.
- Page 15 Most models have a drain hose installed on the engine, for easier oil changes. All gas engines used by Bad Boy use 10w30 and have an oil capacity of 2 quarts. Bad Boy recommends that the oil and filter be changed every 50 hours of usage.
- Page 16 SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM On most larger commercial engines (27 hp and up), the 25 amp main fuse is located about 3” from the starter on the engine. (shown in first image on right). On smaller commercial and light duty commercial mowers, the 25 amp main fuse is located just behind the battery connected to the starter solenoid.

- Page 18 SECTION 5: FRAME For non-suspension models, torque front fork castle nut to 40 ft.lbs. Be sure to spin the fork while torquing the nut to ensure that no bearing damage is done. Be sure to reinstall the cotter pin into the castle nut. Always try to go tighter on the nut to find a castellation for the pin to fit in.
- Page 19 The pump belt tensioner is located under the engine and has a grease fitting at its pivot point. Grease at every engine oil change. The deck belt tensioner is located at the rear of the deck and has a grease fitting on its pivot point. Grease at every engine oil change.
- Page 20 The large turn buckles on the front of the deck only affect the pitch of the deck or the level from front to back. The deck spring tension is critical. If the tension is too much, it will cause the spring to break. If too loose, the belt can jump off or slip on the pulleys and cause a cut quality issue.
- Page 21 MOWING TIPS: • Mow header strips at the ends of the lawn and around flower beds first. Make them wide enough that you can turn the mower around in the already mown section. Then mow back and forth between these header strips overlapping each lap by about 1/8 the width of the mower’s deck.
