    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 9 SECTION 7: CONTROLS Ignition Switch—Bad Boy Mowers have a three position ignition switch: off, run, and start. With key inserted, rotate it clockwise to START position and release key when engine starts, and switch will automatically return to he RUN position.
  • Page 10 The valve stems on each pump are located near the top and are identified as a hex stud. 8.4 Your Bad Boy Mower Weighs: Diesel SERIES: 1607—1935 lbs *** Weights fluctuate with the addition of accessories.
  • 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 SERVICE SECTION SECTION 1: HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM To change hydro oil on Diesel models, remove oil return lines from top of hydro tank and place them in a disposable oil container. Start and run mower until oil level is reduced down to about 2˝ of oil remaining in the tank.
  • Page 14 Shown to the right is a typical pump belt layout for most models. SECTION 3: ENGINE When servicing the fuel system on the CAT Diesel, it is necessary to purge the air from the system by loosening the 9/16˝ bolt on top of the fuel filter and pumping the fuel bulb (located underneath the radiator) until air bubbles are no longer visible.
  • Page 15 Remove and inspect air cleaner weekly. (More often in dusty conditions). Do not blow filter out with air pressure, this will cause the filter to be filled with tiny holes that will allow dirt to enter. Instead, tap filter on side to remove any debris.
  • 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. The torque for suspension forks should be 50 ft. lbs. Torque rear wheel lugs to 65-75 ft.

  • Page 19: Cutting Deck

    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

    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.
