Jari Monarch Owner's Manual - page 6
2. It is not necessary to use the full throttle setting provided on your Jari. Generally, ¼ to ¾ speeds is adequate to cut
whatever is at hand. Start with ¼ speed and if engine lugs, gradually, increase speed to point where engine does not lug.
Over the years as the engine wears, it will take more throttle setting to accomplish ¼ to ¾ speeds.
3. When mowing in rough terrain, handle bars will gyrate. Do not fight handlebars-allow them to gyrate. Guide the mower
with one hand. Some operators prefer to walk to the rear and one side of the mower instead of directly behind mower.
4. Always take a full cut with your sickle bar. Otherwise, you will plug it material, which has cut and is now laying in a
horizontal attitude. Recognize the same horizontal situation if you decide to make a second pass over an area just cut.
Also, watch shafts and pulleys for wrapping under these conditions. After area grows back, the situation resolves itself as
horizontal material settles to the bottom.
5. When mowing under objects such as branches and fence rails, use outside perimeter of sickle bar. If you use the center,
you may snap the divider rod #104 off. If divider rod should disappear when cutting heavy material, place a rubber washer
or piece of wiper hose on the divider rod between the cotter pin and the bottom of the cylinder on the
Knife head.
6. Sometimes when mowing, the point of a guard #111, 112 or 113 will contact the center of a thick piece of brush and mower
will hesitate. To counteract, jiggle handle bar from side to side and mower will continue.
7. In the interest of your SAFETY and engine requirements, follow this dual-purpose tip when mowing slopes. Be
certain crankcase is filled with oil to assure lubrication as you mow across the face of the slope. Make 2-minute passes
and when turning around, carefully walk above your mower. At the top of your turn, push down on handles bars to level up
crankcase.
8. If you encounter hard wood saplings up to 1 3/8” in size, release self-propelled lever and gradually push mower into
sapling. Knife assembly will saw its way through
9. If sickle bar lodged under a rock or heavy object, do not push down on handlebars. Pull unit straight back. Failure to do
so will force knife head away from drive head and lead to repairs.
