40 CFR 1060 within the first two years Bad Boy Inc. will replace the defective component. Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as fuel tanks, fuel lines, carbon canisters, fuel caps, valves, vapor hoses, clamps, or connectors.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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. Switch will automatically return to he RUN position.

These bypass valves are located on top of the Outlaw’s transaxles and on the inner side of the Outlaw Extreme’s transaxles. Each require a quarter turn to allow for proper bypass.

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.
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.

(pictured below). The filter also serves as the oil drain. The Outlaw transaxles hold 4 quarts of hydro oil apiece, and the Outlaw Extreme holds 4.75 quarts per transaxle. Install new filters using only Hydro-Gear brand filters. Use of other brands could void the warranty. Transaxle service is recommended after the first 50 hours of use;...

After filling the transaxles with fresh oil, lift rear of mower until its rear tires are off the ground; then chock the front caster tires. Start the engine and release the parking brake. Next, with the bypass valves open, slowly move the drive arms forward and rearward.

SECTION 3: ENGINE Bad Boy recommends that the oil and oil filter be changed at intervals of 50 usage hours, or yearly, whichever occurs first. Bad Boy 10W-30 synthetic blend engine oil is recommended. Consult your engine owner’s manual for exact oil capacity.

SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The 25 amp main fuse is located approximately 3” from the engine’s starter. A blown fuse usually indicates a problem within the electrical system or an electrical component. Never replace a fuse with one of a higher amperage rating or ‘bypass’...

SECTION 5: FRAME The front fork nuts require a torque of 40ft-lbs. While applying this torque, turn the fork itself to ensure no damage is done to the bearing. This operation is only necessary if a repair requires it. Torque rear wheel lugs to 65-75 ft. lbs. Re-torque at every oil change and check at every mowing.

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.

In addition to a decline in cut quality, failure to replace a worn or damaged blade creates a major safety hazard. Bad Boy recommends that blade sharpening be performed by a professional. To change blades, it may be easier to use a piece of wood to keep the blade from turning so that the bolt can be loosened.
The leading edge of the deck shell will be warranted for the entire lifetime of the machine to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship. Labor required to repair or replace the leading edge of the deck shell will be covered by Bad Boy Inc. for two years and at the unit owner’s expense during the balance of the lifetime of the machine.
