LAWN MOWER SAFETY
II SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exer-
cise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden ob-
jects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-off s, ditches, or embankments. You
could lose your footing or balance.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma-
chine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watch-
ful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the machine.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
IV. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE:
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and the
vapors are explosive.
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of
ignition.
2. Use only an approved gasoline container.
3. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
4. Never refuel the machine indoors.
5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an
open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or
on other appliances.
6. Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before fi lling.
7. Remove the mower from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the mower with
a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Continued,
8. 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.
9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
10. Never overfi ll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
V. GENERAL SERVICE
1. Never operate the mower in a closed area.
2. Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the mower is in safe
working condition.
3. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation before each use of the mower.
4. Keep the mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-
up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked
debris.
Allow machine to cool before storing.
5. If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the mower.
Repair, if necessary, before starting.
6. Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
running. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against
engine to prevent unintended starting.
7. Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while the
engine is running.
8. Check grass catcher components and the rear discharge
door frequently and replace only with Bad Boy original
parts
when necessary.
9. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing them.
10 Do not change engine governor setting or over speed the
engine.
11. Maintain or replace all safety and instruction labels.
CAUTION
Muffl er and other engine parts become extremely
hot during operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on contact,
stay away from these areas.

ASSEMBLY - SETUP - ENGINE CONTROLS
Follow these steps to verify proper setup of the mower
equipped the Rehlko Zone Start engine.
STEP 8
We recommend verifying that proper cable movement is
achieved at the engine when operating the upper control bar.
- Depress the upper control bar (1)
- When the upper control bar is depressed it will release the
fl
ywheel brake/stop switch at the engine.

With the control bar in the released position (1) the arm on the
engine at (2) should be able to move forward towards its
limiter. This position of the arm ensures that the fl ywheel
brake and stop switch stops the engine. When depressing the
control bar the stroke of the arm (3) should be a minimum of
7/8” (22 mm) to properly release the engine brake and switch.
STEP 9
Verify that the throttle control is adjusted correctly as follows:
- Move the throttle control to the Choke position.
- In the Choke position the arm attached to the throttle cable a t
(1) the distance will meaure no more than 1 inch (25 mm).
- If needed an adjustment can be made at the throttle control.
Following these steps for the throttle adjustment will ensure
that the Rehlko engine performs properly for this mower.
The engine speed is adjusted to approximately 3300 RPM at
the factory.
NOTICE:
The engine speed should preferably be checked and verifi ed
with a tachometer. Normal full throttle speed of the engine
should be adjusted to 3300 RPM. An authorized Rehlko En-
gine Dealer can verify and adjust the engine speed properly.

CONTROLS & OPERATION
Before operating the mower for the fi rst time, please review
and understand the entire manual including all Warnings and
Cautions.
Even if you have operated other mowers in the past please
take time to become familiar with how this mower works and
practice all operations to build up your skills.
BEFORE ANY OPERATION ALWAYS:
- Inspect the mower for any visible damage or broken parts
- Check the oil level in the engine on a daily basis
- Make sure that when you release the Upper Control Bar
the engine should stop within three seconds. If the engine
does not stop, contact your authorized Bad Boy dealer.
- Never operate the mower with obvious damage or
malfunction until the problems have been corrected.
WARNING
Never make adjustments or repairs with the
engine running. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent

STATING THE ENGINE
1. To start a cold engine it is important to use the “Choke”
position. To start a warm engine it is not necessary to use the
choke.
2. Press down on the upper control bar to release the engine
brake and kill switch. If the upper control bar is released
during normal operation the engine should stop completely
within three seconds.
For best performance use the “Full Throttle” position for all
mowing. To verify that the engine is running at full throttle
please follow the steps outlined under the setup instructions
on pages 7 through 9. A Bad Boy dealer can also verify the
correct full throttle adjustment. The engine speed should
be adjusted to approximately 3300 RPM.
Notice: The upper control bar is an “Operators
Presence Control” on the Zone Start mowers. It has to
be pushed down before starting the engine.
Taking the following precautions will lessen the risk of
injury and property damage.
Use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is ex-
tremely fl ammable and the vapors are explosive.
- Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
- Use only approved gasoline containers.
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
- Allow engine to cool a minimum of 3 minutes before
refueling.
- Never fuel the machine indoors.
- Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or other appliances.
- Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground away from your vehicle when fi lling.
- Remove the mower from the truck or trailer and refuel
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the
equipment with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.

DRIVE CONTROL
The drive system consists of a two speed transmission and an
adjustable belt drive from the engine to the transmission.
The transmission speed can be set to LO - N - HI.
HI speed is approximately 4mph - a fast walking speed.
LO speed is approximately 3mph - an average walking speed.
The shifter arm is intentionally made fl exible. When the arm is
locked in the LO or the HI position the transmission will
automatically mesh into the gears as soon as the drive is
engaged by operating the lower control bar.
ENGAGING THE DRIVE
To engage and disengage the drive system pull up on the
lower control bar (1). Typically the drive will engage when the
lower control bar is approximately 1 to 1.5 inches from the
handle (2).
Notice
Due to wear, the drive engagement position of the lower
control bar can change. If the distance between the lower
bar and the handle (2) is less than a 1/4 inch when the mower
starts to drive make an adjustment on the red knob located
below the engine fuel tank (3).
If needed turn the red knob 2 turns clockwise. Verify the drive
position of the control bar by operating the mower. If needed
repeat the adjustment.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Each wheel can be adjusted individually to a specifi c cutting
height from 1 inch to 4.5 inch. Notice: It is only possible to
move the adjustment on one side 2 - 3 steps each time.
Moving the front wheel height adjusters forward raises the
cutting height. Moving the rear wheel height adjusters towards
the rear of the mower raises the rear cutting height.
Always adjust the height adjusters to the same position both in
the front and the rear for best cutting results.
WARNING
Never readjust the cutting height while the engine
is running. STOP the engine. Never lift the
mower by placing your hand or fi ngers under the
edge of the mower deck.

Inspect the mower blade for wear or damage.
Inspect the cables for any wear or damage.
Inspect the grass catcher for any damage.
Check for any loose or missing screws or damaged parts.
Clean under the lawn mower deck (after usage).
First 20 Hours or
Within 4 weeks
Change the engine oil.
Check the throttle cable adjustment - see Page 9.
Every 50 Hours or
every 2 months
Lubricate the pivot arms on the control panel with oil.
Check and Clean the engine air fi lter (see the engine Owner’s Manual)
Every 100 Hours or
every 4 months
Change the engine oil (more often in dusty conditions).
Check the spark plug.
Clean the engine with compressed air.
Every 200 Hours or
every 8 months
Replace the paper air fi lter (more frequently in dusty conditions).
Replace the spark plug.
Adjust the valve clearance.
MAINTENANCE
In addition to this schedule follow the Maintenance Schedule in the Honda or Kawasaki Owner’s
Manual. This maintenance schedule assumes daily use by a landscape company.
One Month of use is assumed to be 15 to 20 days of operation.
CLEANING THE MOWER
We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean the
mower. The buildup of moist grass, fertilizer and water can
cause extreme corrosion damage to many parts of the mower
and the engine.
Never use a Pressure Washer:
The use of a pressure washer can force water and moisture
into ball bearings and engine parts and cause substantial
damage.
- Clean the underside of the mower by scraping any build-up
of grass and trash.
- Clean off
the outside of the engine and the top of the mower
with compressed air
.
Any accumulation of debris under the
belt cover can typically also be removed with compressed air
without removing the protective belt cover.
- W
ash the Grass Bag with a garden hose frequently.
The
holes that allows the grass bag to breathe will eventually clog
with dirt.
A
clogged bag will not collect the grass clippings
eff
ectively. Do not install and use a wet grass catcher. It wil
l
plug prematurely.
NOTICE
Several of the operations described in this
Maintenance section involves placing the mower
on its right side.
To avoid spills of oil and gasoline always:
- Place the mower on a hard surface such as a
concrete driveway or a garage fl oor.
- Never place the mower on its side when there is
gasoline in the tank - do the service of the mower
when you have run out of gasoline during normal
operation.
- Always make sure that the Oil Filler Cap is
tightened.
Any spillage of oil or gasoline can be extremely
fl ammable and explosive and under certain
conditions can cause serious personal injury and
property damage.

BLADE MAINTENANCE
For best results, the mower blade must be kept sharp. Always
replace a bent or damaged blade.
Removing the blade
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire
where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Turn lawn mower on its right side. (Make sure air fi lter and
carburetor are up).
3. Use a wood block between blade and mower deck to
prevent blade from turning when removing blade bolts.
NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap the blade
with a heavy cloth.
4. Remove blade bolts by turning counter-clockwise with a
11/16” (17mm) wrench or socket.
Installing the blade
1. Position the blade with the bent corner of the blade (sail)
pointing towards the deck. Install the blade bolts. Important:
Blade bolts are heat treated. If the bolts are worn or damaged
use only bolts available from Bad Boy.
2. Use a block of wood between blade and mower deck and
tighten the blade bolts. Always use a torque wrench.
The recommended tightening torque is 30 to 35 ft. lbs.
(40 to 45 Nm)
WARNING
Use only a replacement blade approved by Bad Boy
Using a blade not approved by Bad Boy is hazardous.
It can damage your mower and cause serious personal
injury.
A worn or damaged blade can break and parts of the
blade could be thrown into the operators or bystanders
area, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Inspecting the blade
Carefully examine the blade for straightness, damage and
abnormal wear. In some areas abrasive sand and dust can
wear away the metal of the blade - see illustration.

MAINTENANCE
Sharpening the blade
File the top side of the blade (1) and maintain the original
angle of the cutting edge. Maintain the radius where the cut-
ting edge ends. Always remove the same amount of material
from both ends of the blade. This ensures that the blade stays
balanced.
If sharpening is done with a grinding stone the blade should
always be balanced using a blade balancing device. A blade
balance tool is available from Bad Boy or most lawn and
garden dealers, and hardware stores.
If the blade shows wear or cracking at the edge where the
blade is bent up (3) it must immediately be replaced.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
NOTICE: Before tipping lawn mower on its right side to drain
oil, empty fuel tank by running engine until fuel tank is empty.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire
where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Remove oil fi ller cap/dipstick.
3. Tip lawn mower on its right side as shown and drain oil
into a suitable container. Rock lawn mower back and forth to
remove any oil trapped inside of engine.
4. Wipe off any spilled oil from lawn mower or side of engine.
5. Fill engine with oil. Slowly pour oil down the oil fi ll spout into
the engine. Use an SAE 10W-30 oil 24 Fl.Oz - 0.7 Liter
See engine Owner’s Manual for complete information.
6. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle. Use the gauge on oil
fi ller cap/dipstick for checking level. Insert the dipstick into the
tube and tighten it for a proper reading before adding more oil.
7. Continue adding small amounts of oil and rechecking
the dipstick until it reads full. DO NOT overfi ll, or engine
will smoke on startup.
8. Always be sure to retighten oil fi ll cap/dipstick before
starting engine.
9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
