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.

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, and switch will automatically return to the RUN position.
Your Bad Boy Mower Weighs: ***Weights fluctuate with the addition of accessories. As you can see by the weights of the machines, you shouldn’t ever try to push or pull a Bad Boy Mower by hand. This could cause serious bodily injury.
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.
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: 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.
PERFORMED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. Outlaw transaxles hold 4 quarts of 20W-50 motor oil each. Bad Boy Hydrostatic Oil is recommended. Transaxle service is recommended after the first 75 hours of use; then at intervals of 250 usage hours. Use only Hydro-Gear®...
Page 19
CHANGING YOUR HYDRAULIC OIL AND FILTER EXTREME 5400 Place an oil drain pan (12” or more in diameter and 8 qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter. Remove the oil filter cover from the transaxle to drain the oil. Remove the O-ring from the cover and discard the O-ring.
Page 20
PURGING PROCEDURE Due to the effects air has on the efficiency in hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical that the air is purged from the system. These purge procedures should be implemented any time a hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance or any additional oil has been added to the system.

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.

SECTION 6: CUTTING DECK DECK BELT REMOVAL Use proper safety precaution when performing procedures. Raise the deck to its highest position. Remove the right pulley cover. While lifting up on the belt (as shown in the photograph), rotate the pulley until the belt is free of the pulley.
Page 44
LEVELING THE DECK Start on a flat level surface and set the air pressure in all four tires to 12 psi. Measure the deck at all four corners. The deck should be level from left to right but 1/4" lower in the front than in the rear.
