SECTION 8:
MOVING INOPERABLE MOWER
8.1 If it is necessary to move mower when the engine is inoperable, the hydraulic drive pumps
are equipped with bypass valves. Refer to service manual section for bypass valve location.

ATTENTION: RETURN BYPASS VALVES TO OPERATING POSITION BEFORE RUNNING
MOWER FOLLOWING REPAIRS.
8.4 Your Bad Boy Mower Weighs:
MZ MAGNUM SERIES:
585—620 lbs
*** Weights fluctuate with the addition of accessories.
8.5 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.
8.6 Hopefully, you’ll never need to use this section of the manual. However, if you do, use
extreme caution when moving machine!
SECTION 9:
MOWER BLADE MAINTENANCE
9.1 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. A dull
blade will also require more power from the engine.
9.2 NEVER attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating. NEVER attempt to weld a cracked
blade. The blades can break and cause serious injury or death.
9.3 NEVER work with blades while engine is running or deck clutch is engaged.
9.4 ALWAYS place deck clutch in DISENGAGE position while performing maintenance.
9.5 Use blocks when you MUST work under mower.
9.6 ALWAYS wear thick gloves when handling blades.
9.7 ALWAYS check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch, or other objects that could
potentially damage the blade. (REMEMBER: NEVER CHECK BLADE WHILE ENGINE IS ON!
NEVER CHECK BLADES WHILE BLADES ARE ENGAGED!)
