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: Slope Operation
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 you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. 2.22 Mow up and down slopes, not across. - Page 7 SERVICE: SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. 2.45 Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and all other sources of ignition. 2.46 Use only an approved gasoline container. 2.47 Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.

Page 8: Safety Interlock System
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM Your Bad Boy mower is equipped with a safety interlock system. This system is designed to prevent serious injury or death to the operator and other people or property damage. The system consists of an operator presence switch in the seat, the parking brake, drive lever neutral position, the mower blade engagement switch, and the ignition switch. - Page 9 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 11 SECTION 6: TROUBLESHOOTING Q: How do I prevent an uneven cutting pattern and increase the quality of cut? A: Check tire pressure, check blade sharpness (replace blades or sharpen at least once per year or when needed), make sure blades are tightened properly, check spring and belt tension, check the underside of the deck to ensure the mower deck is free of grass build-up and debris, make sure your machine is at full throttle, and vary your mowing pattern each time you cut your grass.
- Page 12 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 13 By pulling the arms out the mower can be put in a neutral position. Return the arms to the “forward position for normal operation. 8.4 Your Bad Boy Mower Weighs: CZT SERIES: 862—925 lbs *** Weights fluctuate with the addition of accessories.
- Page 14 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 15 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 16: 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. - Page 17 SERVICE SECTION SECTION 1: HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM The hydro overflow tanks on a CZT are located on the sides of the rear cover. Notice the “full cold” line at the bottom of the tank. Use only 20w50 motor oil in this tank. Conventional or synthetic oil may be used.
- Page 18 Once the system is filled with oil, lift rear of mower until rear tires are off the ground. Start engine, release parking brake, stay clear of moving rear tires. Next, pull the neutral bypass levers (located at the rear of the frame, on either side of the muffler), move the drive arms forward and backward 4 to 6 times slowly.
- Page 19 SECTION 3: ENGINE Most models have a drain hose installed on the engine, for easier oil changes. All gas engines used by Bad Boy use 10w30. Bad Boy recommends that the oil and filter be changed every 50 hours of usage.
- Page 20 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 22 SECTION 5: FRAME For non-suspension models, torque front fork nut to 40 ft. lbs. Be sure to spin the fork while torquing the nut to ensure that no bearing damage is done. Torque rear wheel lugs to 65-75 ft. lbs. Re-torque at every oil change.
- Page 23 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 24 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.
