Evaporative Emission Control

Warranty Statement

Federal Evaporative Emission Control Warranty: Your

Warranty Rights and Obligations, the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), and Bad Boy LLC are pleased

to explain the evaporative emission control system's

warranty on your 2026 equipment. New equipment that

uses spark ignition engines for off-road use must meet

stringent anti-smog standards. The evaporative emission

control system on your equipment is designed, built, and

equipped so it conforms at the time of sale to the ultimate

purchaser with the requirements of 40 CFR 1060. The

evaporative emission control system is free from defects

in materials and workmanship that may keep it from

meeting said requirements. Bad Boy LLC must warrant

the evaporative mission control system on your

equipment for 2 years provided there has been no abuse,

neglect, or improper maintenance. If an evaporative

emission control system component does fail in a

manner that would cause the equipment to no longer

meet the requirements of 40 CFR 1060 within the first 2

years, Bad Boy LLC 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

job supervisors, maintenance staff, and job-site workers

to hazardous operating practices and maintenance

procedures. Hazard alerts used throughout this manual

contain a hazard-alert symbol and a signal word. They

identify the hazard’s degree of consequence if the

message is ignored.

ANSI/ISO signal words are used to warn of potentially

hazardous situations that may lead to damage, personal

injury, or even death. Hazard alerts in this manual and on

the machine use signal words or illustrations to indicate

the potential level of hazard.

The following hazard alerts are used in this manual:

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

SAFETY

Maverick Models

2-2

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Make sure all personal protective equipment (PPE) is in

good working condition before use.

Hearing Protection

Wear a hearing protective device to protect against loud

noises. Continued exposure to loud noise can cause

hearing impairment or loss of hearing.

Eye Protection

Always wear appropriate eye protection when working in

environments where there is a risk of flying debris, dust,

or other hazards. Consistent exposure to these risks

without proper protection can lead to eye injuries,

irritation, or permanent vision loss.

Operation Safety

General Operation Safety

WARNING

Failure to follow these general safety operation

practices below can result in serious injury or

death.

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on

the machine and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or

under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge

opening at all times.

• Always remain seated while operating the

machine. If the machine is equipped with

roll-over protection structure (ROPS), always

buckle your seat belt.

• Only allow responsible adults who are familiar

with the instructions to operate this machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire,

toys, etc., which could be thrown by the blades.

• Always maintain a safe distance from people and

pets just prior to and during operation. Stop the

machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely

necessary. Always look down and behind before

and while backing up.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone.

Avoid discharging material against a wall or

obstruction as material may ricochet back toward

the operator. Stop the blades when crossing

gravel surfaces.

• Never operate the machine without the discharge

chute, grass catcher, or other safety devices

correctly in place and functioning properly.

• Slow down before turning.

• Always disengage blades, place steering

controls in neutral, engage parking brake, and

remove ignition key when leaving operator’s

seat. Never leave a running machine unattended.

Disengage blades when not mowing.

• Shut off engine, allow all moving parts to come to

a complete stop, and allow to cool before

performing any of the following actions: cleaning

or inspecting the machine for damage, removing

the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge

guard.

• Always operate the machine in daylight or with

adequate working lights.

• Do not operate the machine while under the

influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

• Always wear eye protection when operating or

servicing the machine.

• Always wear ear protection, such as earplugs,

while mowing.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the

machine onto a trailer or truck.

• Be alert of surroundings. Watch for rocks,

stumps, mounds, depressions, and low hanging

limbs or objects that could be potentially

hazardous while mowing.

• Data indicates that operators 60 years of age and

above are involved in a large percentage of riding

machine related injuries. These operators should

periodically evaluate their ability to operate the

riding machine safely enough to protect

themselves and others from serious injury.

• Prevent fires by keeping deck, engine, and

exhaust areas clear of grass clippings and other

debris. Do not back or park the machine over, or

immediately adjacent to, flammable materials.

Slope Operation Safety

Slopes are a significant 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. Avoid operating your machine on hills of over

5 degrees if mowing transverse to the slope, on a slope

of over 10 degrees when driving uphill, or 15 degrees

when driving downhill.

SAFETY

Maverick Models

2-3

WARNING

Operating on slopes and wet grass can cause

instability issues resulting in loss of control and

possible rollover. Failure to follow these warnings

could cause serious injury or death.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other

hidden objects that tall grass can obscure.

Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

• Choose a low ground speed when operating the

machine on a slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass, the tires may lose

traction.

• Do not attempt to coast down a slope in the

neutral position.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If

the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and

proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.

Sudden changes in speed or direction could

cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating the machine with

grass catchers or other attachments; they can

affect the stability of the machine. Do not use on

steep slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting

your foot on the ground.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The machine could suddenly and

dangerously rollover if a tire goes over the edge

of a drop-off. Drop-off edges can become

extremely weak after rain while appearing

deceptively sound.

• Be aware of what is located at the bottom of

slopes. For example: rocks, water, cliffs, and

roadways.

Children Safety

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the machine and the mowing activity. NEVER assume

that children will remain where you last saw them.

WARNING

Never allow children to ride on or operate the

machine. Be sure the area is clear of bystanders,

pets, and especially children. Failure to follow

these warnings could cause serious injury or death.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the

watchful care of a responsible adult other than

the operator.

• Maintain alertness and turn machine off if a child

enters the area.

• Before and while backing up, look behind and

down for small children.

• Never carry children, even with blades shut off.

They may fall off and be seriously injured or

interfere with safe machine operation. Children

who have been given rides in the past may

suddenly appear in the mowing area for another

ride and be run over or backed over by the

machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Never leave the key in the ignition, especially

around children.

• Use extreme care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may

block your view of a child.

Service Safety

General Service

WARNING

Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed

space where carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Failure to follow these warnings could cause

serious injury or death.

• Never operate the machine in a closed area

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can

collect.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition. Never

operate a poorly maintained machine.

• Do not touch hot areas of the machine.

• Never interfere with the intended function of a

safety device or reduce the protection provided

by a safety device. Check their proper operation

regularly.

• Keep the entire machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spillage

and remove any fuel-soaked debris. Failure to do

so can affect the safety and functionality of the

machine, as well as increase the danger of a fire

due to contact with the hot surfaces of the

machine.

• Allow machine to cool before storing.

• If you strike something with the machine, turn the

machine and blades off, engage the parking

brake, and inspect the machine for damage.

or death.

• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch

specifically designed for towing. Do not attach

towed equipment except at the hitch point.

• Follow towing recommendations provided.

• Never allow children or others in, on, or around

towed equipment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment

may cause loss of traction or instability.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

Battery

WARNING

Batteries contain acid and produce flammable and

explosive gases. Failure to follow these safety

precautions can cause serious injury or death.

• Batteries contain acid that burns eyes and skin

on contact. Wear protective clothing, safety

goggles, and rubber gloves when working with

batteries.

• In case of acid contact, wash the area

immediately with water. In case of eye contact,

wash eye with clean, cool water for at least 5

minutes and get prompt medical attention.

• Batteries make and contain flammable and

explosive gas. Keep battery away from open

flames, sparks, and lighted tobacco.

extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Failure to follow these warnings could cause

serious injury or death.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and all

other sources of ignition.

• Use only an approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running.

• Allow engine to cool for a minimum of 5 minutes

(longer on exceptionally hot days >95°F) before

refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Do not store the machine near open flame or

source of ignition, such as a water heater or

furnace.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment with a

portable container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

• Never fill gasoline containers inside a machine or

on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.

Always place containers on the ground away

from your machine before filling.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until

fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. The fuel tank is full when

the gasoline level reaches the bottom of the fill

tube. Do not over-fill. Overfilling can reduce the

effectiveness of fuel tank safety mechanisms.

Environmental Precautions

If not disposed of correctly, oils can contaminate and

pollute soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers. Used oil

and filters can be recycled to aid in the conservation of

natural resources and help the environment. Adhere to

all regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, filters,

batteries, used parts, and other potentially harmful items.

Safety Interlock System

WARNING

Do not tamper with or bypass safety interlock. Keep

all guards, shields, and interlock safety devices in

proper working order. Failure to follow this warning

could cause serious injury or death.

Your Bad Boy Mower is equipped with a safety interlock

system. This system is designed to prevent property

damage and severe injury or death to the operator and

bystanders. These interlocks are essential and must be

tested before each use. To test the interlock system,

follow the steps below.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the operator must be

seated properly on the machine during these

tests. Additionally, the machine should be at

operating temperature during this test.

1. With the parking brake engaged, place the lever

arms in the inward position. Attempt to start the

machine with the power take-off (PTO) switch in the

OFF position. The engine should not start. Continue

test.

2. On a level surface, disengage the parking brake and

place the lever arms in the outward position. Attempt

to start the machine with the PTO switch in the OFF

position. The engine should not start. Continue test.

3. Engage the parking brake and leave the lever arms

in the outward position. Put PTO switch in the ON

position. Again, attempt to start the machine; the

engine should not start. Continue test.

4. Start the engine, as stated in the Machine Operation

Section. Disengage the parking brake and very

slowly begin to rise from the seat. The engine should

stop. If the seat has been relieved of body weight and

the engine has not stopped, there is a fault within the

interlock system. End the test. If the safety interlock

system does not operate as described above, an

authorized service dealer must repair this safety

system immediately. The machine is unsafe to

operate in this condition.

Roll-Over Protection Structure

(ROPS)

This machine is equipped with ROPS from the factory. It

is vital that the rules below are adhered. ROPS, when

used correctly, dramatically decreases the fatality rate in

roll-over instances.

WARNING

ROPS must be in good working order in the raised

position with the seat belt securely fastened.

Failure to follow these warnings could cause

serious injury or death.

• Periodically ensure the bolts that attach the

ROPS to the machine are securely fastened.

• Always operate the machine with the ROPS

secured in the upright position.

• If the surrounding environment (e.g. low-lying

limbs, signage, etc.) makes it impossible to mow

with the ROPS upright, lower the ROPS at the

hinge point, mow the area, then immediately

secure the ROPS upright.

• An upright ROPS is taller than the operator’s

head. Be aware of this and your surrounding

environment, as referenced above. The machine

and operator may clear low lying items, but the

ROPS may not.

• Always wear the provided seat belt when ROPS

is utilized. Failure to use the seat belt severely

handicaps the safety benefits of the ROPS.

• In the event of a roll-over, replace the ROPS

before resuming use of the machine.

MAINTENANCE

Maverick Models

5-4

Cleaning the Machine

It is recommended that you use an air hose or blower to

remove dust and debris from the machine, to ensure

there is not a buildup of grass on the mower deck and

engine compartment, which could become a fire hazard.

If you must wash the machine, ensure that you run the

engine to operating temp to dry water and engage the

blades to spin off any standing water on the pulleys.

Avoid spraying water onto electrical components and

bearings to prevent premature failure of these parts.

Mower Blades

DANGER

Failure to follow these mower blade safety

precautions can cause serious injury or death.

• NEVER work with blades while engine is running

or PTO clutch is engaged.

• Use approved lifting equipment when working

underneath your machine.

• NEVER attempt to straighten a damaged blade

with heat.

• NEVER attempt to weld a cracked blade.

• ALWAYS wear thick gloves when handling

blades.

• ALWAYS check for blade damage if machine

strikes a rock, branch, or other objects that could

potentially damage the blade.

• Keep clear of rotating blades.

• Failure to replace a worn or damaged blade

creates a major safety hazard as well as possible

machine damage.

1. Check mower blades after each use. This is essential

for maintaining well-groomed turf.

2. 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.

Mower Blade Sharpening

1. Park the machine on a flat, firm, and level surface.

Engage the parking brake and turn the engine off.

2. Remove the mower blade. For more information, see

“Mower Blade Removal” on page 6-14.

NOTICE

Bad Boy recommends that blade sharpening be

performed by a professional.

The blade (1) on the top was utilized long after

replacement was required. In addition to a decline in cut

quality using worn blades causes increased wear on

machine components.

minutes and get prompt medical attention.

• Batteries make and contain flammable and

explosive gas. Keep battery away from open

flames, sparks, and lighted tobacco.

• For jump start, connect negative cable to the

machine engine last (never at the battery). After

jump start, remove negative connection at the

engine first.

Battery Maintenance

1. Keep the battery terminals clean and connections

tight.

2. Clean corroded battery terminals with sodium

bicarbonate (baking soda) and water mixture.

3. Terminal grease or a corrosion inhibitor applied to

the terminals prevents corrosion.

4. When possible, run the machine for 15 minutes to

allow the battery to recharge from the battery drain

caused by start up.

5. Maintain and monitor the battery charge level during

non-usage or storage.

6. Check the battery charge level every 30 days on

machines in storage or non-use.

WARNING

Never service or maintain machine with engine

running. Failure to follow this warning could cause

serious injury or death.

Regular maintenance of the transaxle should include the

following:

1. Check the machine Operator's Manual for the

recommended load ratings. Ensure that the current

application does not exceed load rating.

2. Check oil level in accordance with “Fluid Volume and

Level” on page 6-1.

WARNING

Moving belts and parts can cause serious injury.

Never inspect or service machine while engine is

running or with protective guards removed. Failure

to follow this warning could cause serious injury or

death.

3. Inspect the machine drive belt, idler pulley(s), and

idler spring(s). Ensure that no belt slippage can

occur. Slippage can cause low input speed to the

transaxle.

4. Inspect the machine control linkage to the directional

control arm on the transaxle. Also, ensure that the

control arm is securely fastened to the trunnion arm

of the transaxle.

5. Inspect the bypass mechanism on the transaxle and

the machine linkage to ensure that both actuate and

release fully.

Procedures

Some of the service procedures presented on the

following pages can be performed while the transaxle is

mounted on the machine. Any repair procedures as

mentioned in the repair section of this manual must be

performed after the unit has been removed from the

machine.

1. Use of components for purpose of repair other than

Genuine Hydro-Gear parts must be pre-authorized in

writing by Hydro-Gear to be eligible for warranty

consideration. Use of non-genuine Hydro-Gear parts

could damage the product or cause it to not operate

properly or fail prematurely.

2. Repairs or installation by personnel other than as

authorized by Hydro-Gear must be pre-authorized by

Hydro-Gear in writing to be eligible for warranty

consideration.

3. Hydro-Gear does not provide warranty coverage for

defects or damages caused by the use of

unauthorized parts or service.

Fluids

NOTICE

All fluids should be handled and disposed of

according to local, state, and federal regulations.

The fluids used in Hydro-Gear products have been

carefully selected, and only equivalent or better products

should be substituted.

Typically, an engine oil with a minimum rating of 9.0 cSt

(55 SUS) at 230°F (110°C) and an API classification of

SL is recommended. A 20W-50 engine oil has been

selected for use by the factory and is recommended for

normal operating procedures.

Fluid Volume and Level

Fluid volume information is provided in the table below.

Total system volume will depend on expansion tank size,

hose length, and transaxle volume. Certain situations

may require additional fluid to be added or even

replaced.

Purging will be required if oil has been changed. For

more information, see “Purging Procedures” on page 6-3.

NOTE: The oil volume figure shown does not include what

is in the expansion tank hose or the expansion

tank. That will have to be determined by the

machine manufacturer/end user due to varying

hose sizes/lengths and expansion tank sizes.

SERVICE

Fluid Change Procedure

NOTICE

All fluids should be handled and disposed of

according to local, state, and federal regulations.

This transaxle is designed with an external filter for ease

of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality levels

and longer life, an initial oil and filter change at 75-100

hours and then every 400 hours thereafter is

recommended.

1. The following procedure can be performed with the

transaxles installed in the machine, and with the

machine on level ground. Apply the bypass valve for

each transaxle and lock the machine parking brake.

2. Remove the three 1/4 in filter guard screws (5) and

filter guard (4). Clean any loose debris from around

the perimeter of the filter. See Figure 6-1 and

Figure 6-2.

NOTE: Before draining oil, ensure the oil that will be

removed is at ambient temperature before doing

so. Units equipped with an internal expansion tank

will retain oil that has expanded due to an increase

in temperature and may result in an overfill and

over expansion when refilled.

3. Place an oil drain pan beneath the oil filter (3).

Remove the oil filter (3) from the transaxle.

NOTE: A drain pan 12 in (30 cm) in diameter and 8 qt (7.6

L) capacity is optimal.

4. After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base surface

off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new

replacement filter (Hydro-Gear part number 52114 or

equivalent).

5. Install the new filter by hand, turning 3/4 to 1 full turn

after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.

6. Install the filter guard (4) with three 1/4 in screws (5).

Torque screws to 65 in-lb (7.3 N•m) each.

7. Repeat steps 1–5 on the opposite side transaxle

drive.

8. Drain old oil filters of all free-flowing oil prior to

disposal. Place used oil in appropriate containers

and deliver to an approved recycling collection

facility.

9. Remove the top port plug (1) from the left side and

right side transaxles prior to filling with oil. This will

allow the transaxles to vent during oil fill.

10. Remove the cap from the transaxles expansion tank

located on the machine frame.

NOTE: For units that do not have an external expansion

tank, remove the fill port plug (2) on the top of the

housing. See Figure 6-1.

11. Fill with 20W-50 motor oil until oil just appears at the

bottom of each transaxle top port plug (1)

(approximately 2 qt. per transaxle, 4 qt. total). Install

the top port plug (1) into each transaxle as the oil

level reaches this port.

12. Install and torque the top port plugs to 120 in-lb (20.3

N•m).

NOTE: For units that do not have an external expansion

tank, replace the fill port plug (2) on the top of the

housing (see Figure 6-1), torque to 120 in-lb (20.3

N•m), and proceed to the purge procedure.

tank until the “Full Cold” line is reached on the hydro-

gear expansion tank (refer to machine Owner's

Manual for specific volumes).

14. Reinstall the expansion tank cap by hand. Be careful

to not overtighten.

15. Proceed to the purge procedure.

Purging Procedures

Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydrostatic

drive applications, it is critical that it is purged from the

system.

Air creates inefficiency because its compression and

expansion rate is higher than that of the oil approved for

use in hydrostatic drive systems.

These purge procedures should be implemented any

time a hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate

maintenance or the oil has been changed.

The resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may be:

• Noisy operation.

• Lack of power or drive after short term operation.

• High operation temperature and excessive expansion

of oil.

Before starting, make sure the transaxle is at the proper

oil level. If it is not, fill to the specifications outlined in this

manual.

WARNING

Use an appropriate lifting device and jackstands to

support machine. Failure to follow this warning

could cause the machine to move or fall, causing

serious injury or death.

The following procedures are best performed with the

machine’s drive wheels off the ground, and then

repeated under normal operating conditions. If this is not

possible, then the procedure should be performed in an

open area free of any objects or bystanders.

1. Lift and support the machine so the drive wheels are

off the ground.

2. Disengage the brake if activated.

3. With the bypass valve open and the engine running,

slowly move the directional control in both forward

and reverse directions (5 or 6 times).

4. With the bypass valve closed and the engine

running, slowly move the directional control in both

forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times). Check

the oil level, and add oil as required after stopping

the engine.

5. It may be necessary to repeat steps 3 and 4 until all

the air is completely purged from the system.

6. When the transaxle operates at normal noise levels

and moves smoothly forward and reverse at normal

FAQ

1. 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 buildup and debris, make sure the

machine is at full throttle, and vary the mowing

pattern each time you cut the grass.

2. Q: What should I do if the machine will not start?

A: Check battery charge and connection (grounds),

check the fuel (make sure fuel is less than 30 days

old and contains no water), make sure the spark plug

is in good condition and spark plug wire is attached,

make sure air filter is clean (a dirty filter makes it

more difficult for the engine to draw air), check the

integrity of the 25-amp main fuse, and check for any

bare wires and/or bad connections.

3. Q: What should I do if the blades will not engage?

A: Make sure the safety switch is plugged in on the

bottom of the seat. Check the underside of the blade

power switch to ensure the plug is secure at the

switch. Also, check PTO fuse underneath operator

console (10-amps).

How to Choose the Right Blade

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 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. Standard

blades are also referred to as “2-in-1” (discharging

and bagging) or “high-lift” blades (because they are

designed to create a higher-lifting airflow).

2. Mulching blades generally have a more curved style

surface and frequently include extra cutting surfaces

along the blade edges. These blades may also come

in a “+” design, which is actually two individual blades

arranged in a perpendicular fashion to enhance

mulching. The “+” blades are usually found on older

style machines; newer ones utilize blades with more

advanced mulching technology. Mulching blades

may also be referred to as “3-in-1” (mulching,

discharging and bagging) or “all-purpose” blades.

Bear in mind that the re-circulating airflow design of

3-in-1 blades make them less efficient at discharging

grass clippings than a standard 2-in-1 blade. As with

most all-purpose tools, there is some give and take as

opposed to using a tool designed for a more specific

purpose.

If you are experiencing less-than-desired cutting or

discharging performance with a 3-in-1blade, you may

want to check into using a 2-in-1 blade. Conversely, if

you are using a 2-in-1 blade and want to mulch clippings,

you should see about the availability of mulching blades

or a mulching kit.*

The type of blade installed on a new machine is a

decision the retailer makes for each model of machine,

based on the expected needs of most customers. If you

are unsure of which blade is on a particular model,

inspect the blade. Blades have part numbers stamped

into them. Then compare these part numbers with the

unit’s Operator’s Manual or Parts List.

While there are many other blade styles available, Bad

Boy cannot recommend the use of aftermarket blades.

Should you want more information on special application

or aftermarket blades, please contact the companies that

manufacture the blade.

NOTE: Customers that use blades that are not Bad Boy

blades are placing themselves at risk. The use of

unapproved blades may void any or all warranty

for both machine and engine.

* MULCHING KITS – These generally consist of

mulching blades and a mulching plug (which closes off

the discharge opening to keep the clippings contained

under the deck for recutting) plus any necessary

hardware for installation. Please check with your parts

distributor regarding the contents of a particular mulching

kit.

Mowing Tips

Tips

• Mow header strips at the ends of the lawn and around

flower beds first. Make them wide enough that you can

turn the machine around in the already mowed section.

Then mow back and forth between these header strips

overlapping each lap by about 1/8 the width of the

mower’s deck.

• Do not cut the grass too short, particularly for cool

season grasses. Higher heights usually provide for a

deeper root system, looks better, and is less likely to

have weeds invading; particularly crabgrass.

• Do not remove any more than 1/3 of the grass leaf at

any one cutting. If circumstances arise that a lawn gets

too tall and you just have to lop off a bunch to get

caught up, bite the bullet and break it down into several

mowings to get caught up with 3 or so days between

cuttings.

• NEVER SCALP YOUR LAWN. Scalping severely

damages the root system to such a degree that it may

die.

• Avoid mowing when the grass is wet or when it is dark.

• Avoid throwing grass clippings into the street and

driveway where they can be washed into the sewer

system. After mowing, clean up driveway and

walkways.

• When mowing, remove only 1/3 of the blade with each

cutting (except for the first mowing of the season when

it’s OK to remove more). You can safely leave clippings

that will quickly decompose and add nutrients back into

the soil. Contrary to popular opinion, grass clippings do

not add to thatch buildup. Blades of grass are made up

of about 75% water.

• Mow the lawn in a different direction with each mowing,

especially with lawns of shorter grass types. Altering

the direction ensures a more even cut since grass

blades will grow more erect and less likely to develop

into a set pattern.

• Keep the mower’s blade sharp, which means having it

sharpened several times during the mowing season.

Keep several blades around so you will always have a

sharp one on hand. Sharp blades cut the grass cleanly

and help mulch clippings into small pieces, which break

down quickly.

• Do not forget to change the machine’s oil at least once

during the mowing season. For brand new machines,

change the oil after about 5 hours of operation during

the initial break-in period.

• At the end of the mowing season, use a fuel stabilizer

in the remaining gasoline.

• In the spring, do not use the old gas unless you

properly used a fuel stabilizer; it can cause a number of

problems. Better to use fresh gasoline to begin the new

mowing season.

• Grass blade A demonstrates what a grass blade

should look like after mowing with a sharp blade.

• Grass blade B demonstrates a grass blade that was

injured by a dull mower blade.

• Grass blade C was cut by the machine but indicates

that the mower blade is not sharp enough. The

Bag or Mulch

Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch buildup or

increase the chances of disease. If you mow the lawn at

the right height, without removing any more than 1/3 of

the grass blade, clippings will quickly breakdown without

a trace. These clippings contribute additional nitrogen

and other nutrients to the soil and supply it with additional

organic materials. Clippings from a 1000 sq ft lawn can

add as much as 1–2 pounds of nitrogen back into the

soil. If you have a compost pile, then you may want to

bag the clippings occasionally to add much needed

green-matter to the compost pile. Make sure it is mixed

thoroughly with brown matter to avoid a strong ammonia

odor. DO NOT COMPOST CLIPPINGS after applying

any weed control or weed-feed type product. Before

adding clippings to the compost pile, wait at least three

mowings after these products have been applied.
