Series
Thank you for purchasing an Australian made Greenfield FastCut ride-on mower. Please ensure to follow the
manufacturer’s safety, operating, and maintenance instructions for many years of trouble free operation and service.
Before operating the mower, read the owner’s manual carefully. Your Greenfield has been designed to meet stringent
safety standards - but we remind you that a mower is a cutting device - used incorrectly, it may cause personal injury
or death. Remove the key from the machine when not in use. Do not allow children or any person unfamiliar with the
safe operating procedure to operate this mower.
Safety Instructions
1. Testing the seat safety switch.
Action: Park machine safely, sit on seat, apply park brake, set cutter engagement switch to off, start engine, switch
cutter blades on, raise body off seat but do not get off mower.
Result: Engine will begin to stop. Allow engine to fully stop. If the engine does not stop, there is a fault with the
seat safety switch. Do not attempt to use mower until the seat safety switch has been inspected and repaired by
an authorized Greenfield dealer.
2. Do not carry passengers.
3. Know the controls. Read the operating instructions carefully. Learn how to stop the mower and engine quickly in
an emergency.
4. Do not mow whilst bystanders, especially children or pets, are in the mowing area. Children should be kept safely
supervised. Never assume that children will remain outside of the cutting area. Do not reverse before looking
behind.
5. Ensure that the area to be mowed is clear of sticks, stones, bottles, bones, wire, and other debris that could be
thrown by the blades.
6. Do not operate the machine without first inspecting the blades, blade bolts, and blade holder for wear or
damage. Damaged blades or bolts are hazardous. Always replace blades and blade bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
Replace worn or damaged parts with genuine Greenfield replacement parts only. Use of inferior, non-genuine
service parts could result in damage or personal injury. Refer Maintenance Instructions pg. 10 for part numbers and
fitting instructions.
7. Before using, check that the grass catcher (if installed), safety switches, and guards provided by the
manufacturer are operating properly and are fitted securely. Regularly check all components on the mower to
ensure the machine is in a safe operating condition.
8. Never mow while barefoot or wearing sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes. It is also important
to wear suitable hearing and eye protection.
9. A mower operator should be in good physical and mental health and not under the influence of any drug, alcohol,
or any other substance that could impair vision, coordination, or judgment.
10. Replace worn or faulty exhaust mufflers.
11. Do not allow grass, garden debris, or grease to build up on the mower, particularly around the engine. This could
be a fire hazard.
12. Always refuel outdoors away from any flame sources. Do not smoke whilst refueling the engine, or fuel near a
source of ignition, such as electrical switches or a gas hot water heater. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank
or add petrol whilst the engine is running or if the engine is hot, always allow to cool. Remove fuel cap slowly to
relieve any tank pressure. Do not overfill the fuel tank. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, move
the machine away from the spill area and wipe the machine dry with a clean rag. Do not attempt to start the
machine until all petrol and vapours have dissipated.
3
13. Use only an approved container for storing fuel. Never store fuel or the fueled machine in an unventilated area
or near a source of ignition such as electrical switches or a gas hot water heater.
14. Do not run the engine in a confined space where carbon monoxide and poisonous exhaust fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, deadly poisonous gas.
15. Always disengage the cutting blades before starting or stopping the engine.
16. Always mount or dismount the mower from the opposite side to the discharge chute. Always stop the engine
before dismounting. Keep hands and feet clear of the cutter deck.
17. Reduce speed, particularly when making sharp turns, to prevent overturning or loss of control. Do not stop or
start suddenly when mowing up or down hill. The differential action must be locked out when operating on any
slope to improve traction, braking, and safety.
18. Never mow up or down hill on slopes which exceed 10°, or mow across the face of a slope which exceeds
5°. Before attempting to mow on any slope, refer to Mowing on Slopes pg.8.
19. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
20. Before crossing paths, driveways, or any other area foreign to mowers, reduce engine speed, disengage the
cutting blades, and lift the cutting attachment to maximum height. Do not drive over obstacles or gutters, this
machine has a maximum clearance of 3.5” or 9cm.
21. Watch out for traffic when crossing or operating the mower near roadways. Always mow with the safety grass
deflector properly fitted.
22. When mowing, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine while
in operation.
23. Before leaving the operator’s position:
(a) Disengage the cutting blades.
(b) Apply the parking brake.
(c) Stop the engine and remove the starter key.
24. Disengage the drive to the cutting blades and stop engine:
(a) Before refueling.
(b) Before removing the grass catcher or any attachment.
(c) Before making a height adjustment, unless adjustment is being made from the operator’s position.
(d) Before clearing blockages.
(e) Before inspecting, cleaning, or working on the mower.
(f) After striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for damage and make necessary repairs before restarting
and operating the machine).
(g) If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
25. Disengage the drive to the cutting blades when not in use or if transporting.
26. Do not over-speed the engine or alter the governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens engine life.
27. Use care when pulling loads or using attachments:
(a) Use only the approved draw-bar hitch point.
(b) Limit loads to those you can safely control.
(c) Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
28. Replace any unreadable warning or safety decals.
29. Do not lend or sell the mower without the owner’s manual.

Operating Instructions
Before Starting - Please Do Not Proceed Before Reading Safety Instructions.
Fuel
Top with clean, regular unleaded petrol only. Do Not Overfill. Do not fill above the high level mark on the tank. Make
sure that the petrol is free from impurities, particularly water. The petrol tank is located inside the engine
compartment. Raise the bonnet for access. Before removing the filler cap from the fuel tank to refuel the machine,
wipe or brush the area clean to prevent any dirt or debris from accidentally falling into the tank when the cap is
removed. Do not use stale petrol in your mower - add clean, fresh fuel only.
Engine oil
Check oil level by positioning the mower on level ground. Wipe or brush the area clean around the oil filler/ dipstick
cap, remove the dipstick and wipe clean, replace the dipstick - screwing carefully into position. Remove again and sight
the oil level. Fill to the full mark. Do not overfill. The dipstick must be firmly in place when the engine is running. Refer
to Crankcase Lubrication pg.10 for oil recommendations.
Tyres
Inflate to the correct pressure, 20 to 22 psi (140 to 154 KPa) in the front tyres and 12 to 15 psi (84 to 105 KPa) in the
rear tyres. Do not over inflate. Over inflation will change the shape of the tyre, adversely affecting the cutter trim and
tilt, and may also cause permanent tyre damage, resulting in tyre rupture and possible accident.
Cutting Height
The cutting height adjustment lever is located in the rear cover to the front of the operator. To alter the cutting height,
move the lever to the right then shift upward or downward to select the setting, then release to lock in position. An
indicator panel displays the setting. Use the height setting in the green band for maximum belt life.
Blade Clutch
The blade clutch switch is located on the right hand side of the dash panel. To ENGAGE the cutter blades, pull the
switch up. To DISENGAGE the cutter blades, push the switch down.
DANGER:
• When cutter clutch is engaged, high-speed blades are rotating.
• Never use the mower without the safety deflector or grass catcher fitted.
• Never attempt to dismount from the driver’s seat while engine is running.
Seat
The operator’s seat is adjustable front to rear. To adjust, push the lever on the left hand side of the seat to the left and
slide the seat forward or backward until a safe and comfortable seating position is obtained, then release the lever to
the locked position. Oil the slides occasionally. The seat is fitted with a safety switch. See Testing Procedure pg.3.
6
To Stop The Engine
In an emergency situation, turn the key to the STOP position.
For a normal stop, reduce the engine speed to idle on the throttle control, disengage the cutter blades.
Apply the park brake and allow the engine temperature to even out by idling for approximately twenty (20) seconds.
Turn the key to the STOP position.
Note: Some manufacturers require their engines be stopped in a different manner i.e. Briggs & Stratton recommends
that their single cylinder engines be shut down at full revs. Please refer to the engine manufacturers book supplied with
this machine for their recommended engine stopping procedure.
Only after the mower, the engine, and all mechanical functions of the mower have completely stopped should the
driver dismount from the driver’s seat.
Remove the key and store out of reach of children. This will also ensure that the hour meter will not continue to run
and that power to the electric fuel solenoid valve on the carburettor is shut off.
7
Mowing on Slopes
Exercise extreme caution when operating a ride-on mower on a slope. Slopes are a major cause of tip-over and loss of
control accidents involving ride-on mowers. Severe injury or death can occur.
On any slope, the differential action must be locked out for best traction and braking i.e. both rear wheels driving.
Speed should be reduced on slopes, particularly when changing direction.
Do not stop or start on slopes or make sudden speed or directional changes unless entirely necessary.
Never operate a ride-on mower on any slope if it is wet. Any grass in good condition on slopes can cause your
ride-on mower to slide and cause the brakes to have little or no effect.
A ride-on mower should only be operated up and down slopes, not across.
Before operating on a slope, remove all loose matter, branches, rocks, etc. and stay clear of holes, erosion, tree roots,
etc. Such hazards can cause unexpected and instantaneous stability changes.
If a totally safe mowing procedure cannot be planned before entering a sloped area, then an alternative method of
cutting the area which does not risk the safety of the operator should be used.
Never tow or use any optional attachment on ANY slope.
Do not mow close to steep drop offs.
Maximum Slopes
Never mow up or down hill on slopes Never mow across the face of a slope
which exceed 10°. which exceeds 5°.
If the operator of a ride-on mower is not absolutely certain that a slope does not exceed the previous
recommendations, the area should not be entered until such time as a properly qualified person has assessed and
reported on the safety of the area.

Greenfield Differential
Some Greenfield FastCut models feature a unique and patented differential. This differential offers the operator the
option of the full differential action of the rear wheels for improved steering and a tight turning circle, whilst
eliminating rear wheel scuffing on fine lawns. Most people will operate their Greenfield mower with the differential
operating at all times. This is the preferred method of operation and is accomplished by keeping the handle hooked
over the end of the rear axle. See illustration below.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to engage or disengage the differential lock from the operator’s seat while the
engine is running.
In situations such as wet areas, uneven terrain, slippery surfaces, and particularly when working on any slope, you
must lock out the differential action i.e. both rear wheels driving for improved traction and braking. This differential
must also be locked out when using any attachment such as a dozer blade or when towing. Locking the differential is
accomplished by releasing the handle from the end of the rear axle. See B Below. Slight movement of the mower with
the front wheels, other than straight ahead, may be required to engage the locking mechanism.
To return the differential to the operating position, see illustration below, turn the steering wheel either to the left or
right. Rock the mower back and forth while simultaneously pulling out the engagement handle and locating it over the
end of the axle. Lubricate if necessary.
If the left side rear wheel is removed, make sure that the keyed engagement block slides freely into the square section
of the engagement plate before final tightening of the wheel nuts.
Greenfield differentials are fully lubricated and sealed for life at the factory. If in the unlikely event that your differential
needs service, it must be returned to Greenfield intact. Differentials that have been tampered with or dismantled will
NOT be considered for warranty. Normal warranty is twenty four (24) months for private use and three (3) months for
commercial use. Extended warranty is available for up to five (5) years for private use if the servicing conditions are
maintained. See your Greenfield dealer for details. During the warranty period, service and spares for differentials are
only available through the factory.

Maintenance
Warning: Remove the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starting BEFORE attempting any maintenance or
inspection of the mower.
Crankcase Lubrication
Change the engine oil after the first five (5) hours of operation, then every six (6) months or twenty five (25) working
hours, whichever comes first. Change more often in heavy work or dusty conditions. Drain the engine oil whilst the
engine is warm then replace. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s book supplied with this machine for specific grade
required for this engine. Briggs & Stratton recommends Warranty Certified SAE 30 oil, available from Briggs & Stratton
service dealers.
Fill to the full mark indicated on the dipstick. Do not overfill. Check oil level by positioning the mower on level ground.
Wipe or brush the area clean around the oil fill/ dipstick cap, remove the dipstick and wipe clean, replace the dipstick
- screwing carefully into position. Remove again and sight the oil level. Fill to the full mark. Do not overfill. The dipstick
must be firmly in place when the engine is running.
Air Filter
Service the air filter as per the engine manufacturer’s booklet. Clean or replace more often in dusty conditions. Never
operate the engine without the filter correctly and securely fitted - rapid and expensive wear to the engine will occur.
Cooling System
Remove the blower housing and clean out the grass and debris to prevent engine overheating. Refer to the engine
manufacturers booklet.
Battery
A maintenance free battery is fitted to your machine.
Note: If the mower is not used for at least five (5) hours a month, the battery will discharge and could sustain
permanent damage. Do not allow the battery to discharge. Regularly trickle charge the battery with a current not
exceeding three (3) amps per hour for three (3) to four (4) hours to prolong the battery life. Keep the outside of the
battery, especially the terminals, clean and dry and check the battery is held securely.
The maintenance of the battery is the customer’s responsibility, only faulty batteries are covered by the battery
manufacturer’s warranty. Neglect is not covered.
Wheels
The rear wheel nuts should be re-tensioned after the first five (5) hours of operation to 44Nm (33 ft lbs), then regularly
with your preventative maintenance checks. Before re-tensioning the L.H rear nuts on models fitted with differentials,
make sure that the key engagement block slides freely into the engagement plate.
Tyres
Inflate to the correct pressure, 20 to 22 psi (140 to 154 KPa), in the front and 12 to 15 psi (84 to 105 KPa) in the rear.
Do not over inflate.
Cutter Deck
Regularly check the condition of the cutter blades and blade bolts, cutter disc, V belt and pulleys, and cutter brake.
Refer to specific sections of the manual for further details regarding blades, V belts, etc.
10
Cleaning
Never wash your Greenfield mower with a high pressure wash gun. Water and dirt could be blasted past the seals in
the bearings, causing premature bearing failures and rusted pivot points.
• Never wash your Greenfield mower immediately after use. The quenching contraction effect from hosing the
machine while at operating temperature could also draw water and dirt into the bearings and cause premature
bearing failures.
• The best way to clean your Greenfield is to use an air hose to blow loose grass, etc. from around pulleys, belts,
and the top of the cutter deck. Wash the exterior with a sponge and bucket, then rinse off with a hose and wipe it
down the same way as you would a car. For maximum machine life, do not spray water directly on the pulleys and
bearings.
• Allow your Greenfield to cool after use, then clean off all grass and other debris before storing. Sticks, stones, or
an accumulation of grass and other debris will damage belts and fracture pulleys if they go between the pulley and
belt. When operating in these conditions, the cutter deck may require more frequent cleaning.
Chassis Lubrication
Your Greenfield mower has three (3) greasing points. A grease nipple is fitted to each king pin housing in the front axle
beam, the third grease nipple is fitted to the steering idler which is located on the centre of the machine close behind
the front axle beam and accessible from under the chassis. Grease these locations every fifty (50) hours with a quality
No. 2 lithium base grease or equivalent. It is recommended that your grease gun be fitted with a flexible hose for easier
access. All other exposed pivot joints, lever points, and slides are to be lubricated with engine oil.
Belts
V belts on Greenfield mowers are self adjusting, although the cutter belt may occasionally require an extra manual
adjustment within its working life. See pg.20. Inspect the V belt regularly and replace if damaged. Part numbers for V
belts are:
32” and 34” Drive V Belt - GT02369 42” Drive V Belt - GT12004
32” and 34” Cutter V Belt - GT02365 42” Cutter V Belt - GT02627
IMPORTANT: To prolong service life, use only genuine Greenfield branded V belts, refuse substitutes, non genuine V
belts may render the clutch ineffective, even dangerous.
Cutter Blades
Check condition of blades, blade bolts, and blade holder. Replace if damaged or
worn. Damaged or worn blades and bolts are a serious hazard. Always replace
damaged or worn blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. Use only genuine
Greenfield branded replacement parts. Use of inferior non genuine replacement
parts on your Greenfield mower could result in costly damage or personal injury.
Part numbers for blade and bolt sets are: Lightly Oil Here

Greenfield FastCut Braking Systems
This Greenfield ride-on mower is equipped with a multi-purpose Drive/Brake Control Pedal, operated by the driver’s
right foot. It also has an Emergency Brake operated by the left foot and a hand operated Parking Brake. All three
systems are completely independent of one another.
The manufacturer recommends the pivoted Drive/Brake Control Pedal, operated by the driver’s right foot, should be
used as the principle method of braking when operating this mower. The Emergency Brake, operated by the driver’s
left foot, should only be used in an emergency i.e. if the drive/brake pedal ceases to function for any reason. The
Parking Brake should only be engaged after the machine has come to a stop, although this brake can also be used in an
emergency if both other systems have failed.
The recommended Drive/Brake system incorporates two large and very durable low speed clutches that control
forward, reverse, and stopping as selected by the driver. This Drive/Brake system will provide excellent and trouble
free service for all driving and braking requirements for many years under normal conditions.
The Emergency Brake, operated by the driver’s left foot, engages a disc brake on the mower’s rear axle. Disc brakes
require expendable brake pads to slow the rotation of the brake disc. If used only as an emergency brake, as the
manufacturer intends, this brake will not require replacement brake pads for many years, if ever. If however, this brake
receives continual use, the brake pads will quickly wear, requiring regular adjustments and periodic brake pad
replacement.
Under no circumstances should the Emergency Brake be applied whilst the driver is simultaneously activating the
Drive/Brake pedal. As with all Greenfield mowers, the warranty covers faulty workmanship and materials.
Consumable items, such as brake pads, are not included in the warranty.
As with any brakes, they become less effective in wet conditions and can lose grip on well grassed areas, particularly if
the grass is in a lush condition or wet. Therefore, it is very important to read and understand all the Safety Instructions
included throughout this book and particularly the section titled Mowing on Slopes that indicates, amongst other
important information, the maximum degrees of slope that mowers should be operated on.
IMPORTANT: Read and understand all safety and operating instructions in this book. Know the controls. Be sure the
area that you are about to enter has no concealed hazards and does not exceed a 10° incline or decline or 5° across.
Brake Pad Wear Adjustment
Periodically test the Emergency Foot Brake. If adjustment is required, follow the instructions below. The adjusting
screw is located on the brake arm and bears against the sliding brake pad. As the brake pads wear, the brake disc is free
to centralize between the sliding pad and the fixed pad. This adjusting screw compensates for wear on both pads and
can be adjusted as described below.
1. Remove the spark plug lead to prevent accidental starting.
2. The adjusting screw is positioned at the rear of the mower, up and inside of the chassis. Access is easier if the rear
of the mower is elevated slightly e.g. place rear wheels on 30cm blocks. Ensure mower cannot roll.
3. Loosen the locknut and screw in the adjusting screw until the brake pads have minimum clearance on the brake
disc and are not binding.
4. Tighten the locknut while holding the adjusting screw stationary.
5. Check that the brake disc rotates freely between the pads, then replace the mower onto the ground.
6. Replace the spark plug lead.
Brake Pad Replacement
1. Follow steps 1 & 2 of Brake Pad Wear Adjustment.
2. Remove the pad retainer shaft.
3. Remove both brake pads by sliding down from rear of mower.
4. As the new pads will be thicker, it will be necessary to release the locknut and screw out the brake pad adjusting
screw.
5. Fit the new brake pads.
6. Refit the pad retainer shaft.
7. Readjust the adjusting screw following steps 1 to 5 of Brake Pad Wear Adjustment. See Illustration B.
8. Oil all Pivots. Do Not Oil Brake Pads or Disc.

Cutter Deck Adjustment
Before checking TILT, which is the forward slant on the Cutter Deck from front to rear, or TRIM, which holds the Cutter
Deck level side to side, first check the tyres are inflated to correct pressures. Also that the front axle beam is level in
the chassis and all four wheels are on the same level, flat surface.
1. Remove the spark plug lead to prevent accidental starting.
2. Disengage blade clutch, SWITCH OFF.
3. Set the Trim by adjusting the trim adjusting nuts located on the top lifting arms of the cutter deck.
4. Set the Tilt by loosening the tilt adjusting bolts, which connect the bottom lifting arms to the cutter deck side plates.
5. Set the deck to the correct tilt (minimum 6mm lower at the front) then re-tighten both bolts. See illustration C.

Cutter Belt Adjustment
Warning: Remove the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starting BEFORE attempting any maintenance or
inspection of the mower.
The self-adjusting belt tensioner will automatically adjust to compensate for normal wear and stretch of the V belt.
However, as most belt stretch occurs during the early operating hours of the new belt, the first adjustment should be
checked after approximately five (5) hours of operation with further checks at the fifty (50) hour services. Belt tension
can easily be adjusted at the fixed idler pulley.
The fixed idler pulley has seven (7) bolt hole positions available, plus a sliding adjustable base. To adjust the belt using
the fixed pulley bracket, disengage the cutters then loosen the two (2) Nyloc Nuts on the pulley bracket base and slide
the bracket rearward and re-tighten the nuts, or relocate the pulley to the next rearward hole.
