Using Murray riding mowers is a great way to cut your lawn. They are powered by Briggs & Stratton engines which provide them with power for any terrain. Do you want to know how to use different models of the Murray riding mowers?
Here’s a summary of the company’s user manual, which offers vital information on product safety assembly and operation.
1. General Operation
- To ensure the safety of everyone around while using your Murray riding mower, the equipment should only be operated by competent people familiar with the manual.
- Ensure that there is nothing in the way of the blade, such as stones, toys, or wire.
- Begin by disabling any attachments, such as the blades, before you begin backing up. Avoid mowing in reverse unless essential. Before and during backing up, always keep an eye on the ground and behind you.
- Don't point your lawnmower's discharge in the direction of anyone. Don't run your lawnmower without the whole bagger or the mower guard.
- The engine should never be left running alone on any equipment. The key should be removed before dismounting to ensure that the blades are not running.
- Always turn off the power to any attachments while not in use or when moving them.
2. Safe Mowing Guide
- There's just one user at a time needed to run the mower. The operator, the passenger, and the equipment are all put at risk when a passenger is present. The unit becomes more challenging to operate, sight is obstructed, and the operator is otherwise distracted.
- Stop the engine before you leave the lawnmower. Remove the key from its holder. The parking brake should be set. When the engine is running, do not get out of the seat or get back in.
- Only utilise mower attachments that have been allowed by the manufacturer. A mower's safety might be compromised and even damaged if the incorrect attachment is used.
3. Assembly
How to put the seat in place
Follow the steps below to install your Murray mower seat.
- Remove the seat's plastic bag with care.
- Seat hinge holes should be aligned with the holes on the seat. The fasteners can be used to secure the seat to the seat hinge.
- Verify the seat's working position. The two wing bolts may be loosened to modify the seat. Adjust the holes marked by sliding the seat forward or backwards along the seat. Then adjust the wing nuts.
How to assemble the steering wheel
The steering wheel assembly does not necessitate the use of fasteners. The correct method of attaching the steering wheel is as follows:
- The front wheels should be pointing forward.
- Think about the hub of the steering wheel. Verify that the clip's locking mechanism is in place inside the hub.
- Place the steering-wheel cover over the post.
- Set the steering wheel firmly on the post. Make a turn left or right with the wheel. This method locks the wheel and the steering column together to ensure a tight fit. Driving should only commence when the steering wheel is locked correctly.
- An optional decal may be included with some models' component boxes. Apply the decal on the steering wheel's centre.
Installing the battery cables
Note: When attaching the battery wires, make sure you utilise fasteners.
- To see the battery cables, remove the battery terminal covers.
- Use the fasteners to secure the red wire to the +ve terminal.
- Use the fasteners to secure the black cable to the -ve terminal.
4. Operation
How to operate the throttle
Follow the steps below to increase or reduce the Engine’s speed with the throttle control.
- A detent is used to indicate the FAST position. The throttle control should be moved to the FAST position for typical functioning when utilising a grass bagger. Use the FAST setting to get the most out of your battery charge and keep your engine operating at a more comfortable temperature.
- The governor of the engine is pre-programmed for optimal efficiency at the manufacture. Don't mess with the engine's speed by adjusting its governor.
How to use the parking brake
- Press the brakes down.
- The parking brake lever should be raised.
- Remove your foot from the brake pedals and release the parking brake lever.
- By pushing the brake pedal forward, the parking brake may be released. The parking brake will automatically disengage when you let off the brake pedal.
Conclusion
Murray riding mowers are easy to operate, and they come with a variety of features, such as a cutting height adjustment lever and an ergonomic handlebar design. To get the best out of your mower, users are encouraged to adhere to the instructions in the company’s manual.
