Murray riding mowers are a great way of cutting your lawn. These mowers are powered by Briggs & Stratton engines, which give them power for all terrains. You want to learn how to use the different Murray riding mower models?
This is a summary from the company’s user manual. It contains vital information about product safety assembly, operation, and maintenance.
1. General Operation
- You must only allow qualified people to operate your Murray riding mower. This will ensure safety for everyone.
- Make sure that nothing is in the way of your blade, such as stones or toys.
- Before you start backing up, disable any attachments such as the blades. If necessary, avoid mowing in reverse. Always keep your eyes on the ground and behind yourself when backing up.
- Do not point your lawnmower’s discharge at anyone. You should never run your lawnmower with the bagger or mower guard off.
- Never leave the engine running on its own without checking for safety. To ensure that the blades do not run, it is important to remove the key before you dismount.
- When not in use, or moving attachments, always turn off power.
2. Guide To Safe Mowing
- Only one person can use the mower at a given time. When a passenger is present, all three are at risk: the operator, the passenger and the equipment. Operator distractions, impaired sight, or difficulty in operating the unit make it more difficult to use.
- Before you get off the lawnmower, stop the engine. The key should be removed from the holder. You should set the parking brake. Do not get out of your seat while the engine is running.
- Only use mower attachments that are approved by the manufacturer. The wrong attachment could cause injury or even death to a mower.
3. Assembly
How To Place The Seat
These are the steps to install your Murray mower chair.
- Take care to remove the plastic bag from the seat.
- The holes for the seat hinges should align with the holes in the seat. To attach the seat to its hinge, you can use fasteners.
- Check the working position of your seat. To modify the seat, you can loosen the two wing bolts. Slide the seat forward or backwards to adjust the holes. Next, adjust the wing nuts.
How To Put Together The Steering Wheel
Fasteners are not required for the steering wheel assembly. This is the correct way to attach the steering wheel:
- The front wheels should point forward.
- Consider the steering wheel’s hub. Check that the clip’s locking mechanism has been installed inside the hub.

- Place the steering wheel on the post. Turn the wheel left or right. To ensure a snug fit, lock the wheel and steering column together. The steering wheel must be properly locked before driving can begin.

Notice: Use fasteners when attaching battery wires.
- Remove the battery terminal covers to see the cables.
- Secure the red wire to +ve terminal using the fasteners
- Secure the black cable to your -ve terminal using the fasteners
4. Operation
How To Use The Throttle
To increase or decrease the engine’s speed using the throttle control, follow the steps below.
- The FAST position is indicated by a detent. For normal operation of a grass bagger, the throttle control must be set to FAST. The FAST setting will allow you to get the most from your battery and maintain a comfortable engine temperature.
- Pre-programmed to maximize efficiency during manufacturing, the governor of an engine is installed. Adjusting the governor of your engine will not affect its speed.
How To Use The Parking Brake

- You should raise the parking brake lever.
- Take your foot off the brake pedals, and then release the parking brake lever.
- The parking brake can be activated by pushing the brake pedal forward. When you release the brake pedal, the parking brake will automatically deactivate.
