Please read it carefully; information and instructions furnished can help you achieve years of 
dependable performance. It is the 

owner’s responsibility 

to make certain that the operators and 

mechanics read and understand this manual and all decals before operating this machine. It is also the

to make certain that the operators and mechanics are qualified and physically

become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls and safety signs. Never let 
children or untrained people operate or service the equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of

Using this manual 

General operation, adjustment and maintenance guidance is outlined for both the experienced and 
novice Mean Green Mower

 

user. Operating conditions vary considerably and cannot all be addressed 

individually. Through experience, however, operators should find no difficulty in developing good 
operating skills suitable to most conditions. Directions used in this manual, for example RIGHT or 
LEFT, refer to directions when seated on the mower/standing facing forward, unless otherwise stated. 
Photographs and illustrations used were current at the time of printing, but subsequent production 
changes may cause your machine to vary slightly in detail. Mean Green Products reserves the right to 
redesign and change the machine as deemed necessary, without notification. If a change has been made 
to your machine which is not reflected in this owner’s manual, or the parts manual, see your Mean 
Green Products

 

dealer for current information and parts. 

Warranty registration 

The Owner must register the unit by filling out the Warranty Registration Form, provided in the 
owner’s packet, to validate your warranty protection. As the new equipment owner, you are 
expected to see that this is done at the time of delivery. If using the Warranty Registration Form, it 
MUST be completed and signed by the authorized dealer and original purchaser. 
Be sure to register the mower plus each attachment that displays a model and serial identification 
number plate with Mean Green Products. 

IMPORTANT: 

Any unauthorized modification, alteration, or use of non-approved attachments voids the 

warranty and releases Mean Green Products from any liability arising from subsequent use of this 
equipment. 

Model and serial number 

The mower serial number is found on the serial identification plate located on the right inside tower 
below the top control panel. The model is the type of Mean Green Mower purchased i.e. residential, 
estate, commercial, push, walk behind, zero turn or stand on model. The serial numbers and model are 
required on the Warranty Registration form. They will also assure you of the correct service parts when 
replacement becomes necessary. 

Parts and service 

All warranty repair and service must be handled through an 
authorized Mean Green Products
