Frequently Asked Questions - zf Hayter

What type of oil should I use in my Hayter zf lawn mower?

Use a high-quality SAE 30 4-stroke engine oil for temperatures above 5°C (40°F). For colder conditions, use SAE 10W-30.

How often should I sharpen the blade?

Sharpen the blade at least once a season or after every 25 hours of use. A dull blade tears grass rather than cutting it cleanly.

Why won't my mower start?

Common causes: empty fuel tank, old fuel, dirty spark plug, plugged air filter, or faulty ignition. Check these items first.

Can I mulch with this mower?

Yes, the Hayter zf supports mulching. Install a mulching plug (if not already fitted) and ensure the blade is sharp.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

Use the single lever adjustment located near the rear wheel. Move the lever to one of the 7 positions for heights from 25 to 75 mm.

What is the correct fuel mixture?

The engine is a 4-stroke so it runs on pure unleaded petrol (95+ octane). No oil mixing required.

How do I clean the grass bag?

Empty after each use and rinse with a garden hose. Let it dry completely before storing to prevent mold and odor.

What is the self-propelled drive mechanism?

The drive is powered by a belt-driven transmission with a variable speed control (if equipped). Engage the drive lever to move forward.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts are available at authorized Hayter dealers or online through Hayter's official parts store. Use original parts for best performance.

What safety features does this mower have?

It includes an operator presence control (stops engine if release handle), a blade brake that stops rotation quickly, and a safety shield over the discharge.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

THIS SYMBOL MEANS BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL BE ALERT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. CAREFULLY READ THE MESSAGE THAT FOLLOWS AND INFORM OTHERS. EXERCISE GREAT CARE AND FOLLOW THE ADVICE GIVEN TO AVOID POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. The Harrier 48 is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the following simple precautions may result in serious injury.

Training:

Read the instructions carefully. Ensure that you are familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Preparation:

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.

WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable.

• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least 2 minutes before refuelling.
• Do not attempt to start the engine if petrol is spilled or a smell of petrol is present. Move the mower away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated.
• Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Continued.

- Replace fuel tank and container caps securely.

- Replace faulty exhaust mufflers.

Always ensure that the mower is in a safe operating condition. Frequently check all nuts, bolts and screws for tightness. Use only genuine Hayter replacement parts.

A damaged cutterbar or loose fixing screws are major hazards. Before use, visually inspect the cutting mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition. A damaged cutterbar must be replaced immediately with a genuine Hayter replacement part. A cutterbar which is slightly worn can be re-sharpened. Ensure that both cutting edges are re-sharpened equally to maintain balance. An unbalanced cutterbar may cause serious damage to your machine. Refer to “Maintenance”.

Operation:

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards you.

Stop the engine if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.

Never operate the mower unless the guards are securely in position and in good condition.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Continued.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
Disengage the rear roller drive clutch before starting the engine.
Start the engine carefully, with feet well away from the cutterbar.
Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Never pick up or carry a mower while the engine is running.
⚠️ Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead:

• Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute.
• Before cleaning / checking or working on the mower.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: The engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.

Diagram of a car dashboard with a tool and sensor, no text or symbols present

Oil recommendations: Always use high quality detergent oil classified "For service SE, SF, SG" SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oils.

SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result in higher engine operating temperatures with consequential high oil consumption. It is imperative that the oil level is checked more frequently if this grade of oil is used in order to guard against serious engine damage.

Check oil level: Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew and remove it to check the oil level.

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Slowly fill with engine oil as necessary and replace the oil filler - dipstick.

IMPORTANT: The oil filler dipstick must be secured to prevent oil leakage during operation.

Line drawing of a lawn mower with grass blades and a handle, labeled CS029 (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

HEAVY GROWTH

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without grass collection. If grass collection is required, first mow the area without grass collection at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.

MOVING THE MOWER ACROSS NON-GRASSED AREAS

Set the mower to its maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism when moving the mower over surfaces other than grass.

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : ALWAYS disengage the cutterbar drive and push the mower carefully at slow walking speed when moving the mower over non-grassed areas.

CUTTERBAR OPERATION

General information: The cutterbar is driven by the engine via a brake/clutch device (1) which enables the cutterbar to be engaged/disengaged using control levers whilst the engine is running. The cutterbar will stop within three seconds of releasing the blade stop lever.

CS120

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: DO NOT operate the mower if the cutterbar fails to stop within three seconds. Return the mower to your Hayter dealer for examination and repair.

A friction device in the blade brake/clutch helps prevent damage occurring to the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed, the friction device will automatically reset.

MOWING AND GRASS CARE TIPS

In dry weather conditions leave the grass long to help retain ground moisture.

Aerate the lawn to stimulate soil organisms and root growth. In spring and late summer remove dead grass and aerate the lawn by raking or similar means.

Keep the cutterbar sharp. A blunt cutterbar will tear the grass and cause the tips to turn brown.

Prevent scalping. Plan your direction of travel to mow across hollows and humps.

Prevent grass damage. Take care when turning the mower.

Prevent grass damage. DO NOT mow in wet conditions.

Brush the lawn surface to disperse worm casts before mowing.

Spike compacted lawn areas with a fork. Fill the holes with sand to improve aeration and drainage.

Mow lawns in a different direction to the previous cut.

As a general rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

Mow lawns twice a week when the grass is growing vigorously in the summer.

Mow lawns once a week in spring, autumn and during prolonged dry weather in the summer.

Prevent grass damage - DO NOT remove more than one third of the grass height in one cut.

KEEPING THE ENGINE CLEAN

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Accumulation of debris around the muffler could cause a fire. Inspect and clean the engine after every use.

Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the muffler / muffler guard, the air ways in the top cowl and the surrounding deck areas on a daily basis after use.

IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: Never spray the engine with water during cleaning. Water can contaminate the fuel. Always clean with a brush or compressed air.

NOTE: Grass and debris may clog the engine's air cooling system especially after prolonged operation while cutting tall, dry grass. The internal cooling fins and surfaces may require cleaning to prevent overheating and engine damage. This may be achieved by cleaning all areas shown within the black boundary line. We would recommend that this service be carried out by an authorised Briggs & Stratton dealer.

GRASSBAG

Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately after use and check its condition for signs of damage.

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Replace a damaged grassbag immediately.

CS017

DECK HOUSING

Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing immediately after use.

IMPORTANT - PREVENT DAMAGE: Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive. Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after use on treated grass and store well away from corrosive materials.

SECURING NUTS AND BOLTS

Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace missing or damaged items immediately.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil every 25 operating hours.

Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables at the point of entry and exit from their outer casings.

CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT

Check the clutch cable operation every 25 operating hours and adjust if necessary. The clutch cable is adjusted correctly when the belt drive just engages with the clutch lever positioned 32-38mm (1.1/4" - 1.1/2") from the handlebar.

Unscrew the lock nuts (1) and screw the adjuster (2) in or out as necessary. Tighten the locknuts (1) when correctly adjusted.

32-38mm 1.1/4"-1.1/2" CS060

IMPORTANT - PREVENT DAMAGE: ALWAYS operate the mower with the clutch cable correctly adjusted. ALWAYS replace damaged cables.

CUTTERBAR

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Never work on the cutterbar unless the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterbar has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when working on the cutterbar. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts.

The condition of the cutterbar and its mounting arrangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cutterbar is not bent or cracked.

A damaged cutterbar that is out of balance will vibrate excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterbar.

Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterbar is tightened to the specified torque of 54Nm (40 lbs ft).

Replace the cutterbar every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or damaged.

How to remove the cutterbar: Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool. Turn the mower on its left hand side and ensure that the air cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.

CAUTION - PREVENT INJURY: It is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower onto its side.

Firmly grip the end of the cutterbar with the gloved hand and remove the 2 fixing screws (1) securing the cutterbar (2).

How to assemble the cutterbar: Assemble the cutterbar (2) with the turned up edges facing towards the engine. Secure the cutterbar using two new fixing screws and tighten to 40Nm torque.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with two views (top and side), no visible text or symbols

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Never reuse the fixing screws. Always use new cutterbar fixing screws when refitting or replacing the cutterbar.

CUTTERBAR

Continued.

How to sharpen and balance the cutterbar: A slightly worn cutterbar may be re-sharpened. Both cutting edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterbar every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require. Remove the cutterbar from the mower and clean using a brush and water. Inspect the cutterbar for signs of damage.

30°-45°

CS040

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : DO NOT use a damaged or excessively worn cutterbar.

Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore the original cutting edge.

CS025

Ensure that the cutterbar is balanced. Use a screw driver with a round shaft to support the cutterbar through its centre hole. Hold the cutterbar horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterbar will remain horizontal. If the cutterbar is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterbar is correctly balanced.

CS026

PREPARING THE MOWER FOR STORAGE

Handlebar storage: To lower the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficiently to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through contact with the engine spark plug.

Storage for periods in excess of 30 days: Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Briggs & Stratton fuel additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower is maintained in good working order it is important that the following procedure is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.

Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops.

Disconnect the spark plug lead.

Change the engine oil.

Remove the engine spark plug and pour 15ml of engine oil into the engine cylinder and replace the spark plug. Do not exceed the stated volume of oil as engine damage may occur on re-starting. Do not replace the spark plug lead. Slowly pull the engine start - grip once to crank the engine. This will distribute the oil and help prevent engine corrosion.

Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling fins, under top cowl, and around and behind muffler/muffler guard.

Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.

Lubricate the mower.

Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.

Lower the handlebar, if desired.

Rest the mower deck on wooden blocks to remove the mower from its wheels / roller.

Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilated area.

IMPORTANT: Fertilisers and top dressing are particularly corrosive. Thoroughly clean the mower immediately after use on treated grass and store well away from corrosive materials.

About Your Engine Warranty

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified.

If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.

Improper maintenance:

The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective material and/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required because of:

1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.

2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs & Stratton gasoline stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)

4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary and change at recommended intervals.) Read "Owner's Manual."

5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.

6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil the Oil

Foam® element or the foam pre-cleaner, and replace the cartridge.) Read "Owner's Manual."

1. Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. (Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at recommended intervals.) Read "Owner's Manual."

2. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other abuse in operation.

3. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt tightness.

4. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.

5. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.

Warranty is available only through service dealers which have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is listed in the "Yellow Pages" of your telephone directory under "Engines, Gasoline" or "Gasoline Engines," "Lawn Mowers," or similar category.
