When adjusting the tracking on the mower, 

the length of the pushrods can be changed by 

screwing the pivot joint in or out on the ends 

of the rods.  Shortening the overall length of 

the rod slows the pump down.  Lengthening 

the rod will increase the speed of the pump.

SECTION 2: DRIVE BELT

Shown on the right is the tensioner for your pump 
belt. Adjusting this will either increase or decrease 
tension on the belt. Use a 3/4" wrench to loosen the 
jam nuts and either tighten for more belt tension or 
loosen for less belt tension. 

The belt tension should be set to 70-75 lbs. 

Use a belt tension gauge to ensure the proper 
tension. Your dealer or service center will have a 
belt tension gauge or you can buy one (Part Number 
041-9999-00).

SECTION 3: ENGINE

Kawasaki FX850V

 

This machine has an oil drain hose installed on 
the engine to allow for easier oil changes. Bad 
Boy  recommends that the oil and filter be 
changed after the initial 8 hrs of use, and at 
intervals of 50 usage hours or yearly, whichever 
occurs first after that. The oil capacity is 2 
quarts. Bad Boy 10W-30 synthetic blend engine 
oil is recommended for maximum protection.

3.1 Changing your engine oil and oil filter:

1) Remove oil dipstick and open oil drain

using a 10 mm socket or a flat head
screwdriver until oil begins flowing.
Allow oil to completely drain. (Make
sure to have an oil pan ready to
capture old oil and properly dispose old
oil.)

2) The oil filter is located on the right side

of the engine. Clean area around oil
filter. Place a container under the oil
filter to capture any oil and remove
filter. Wipe off mounting surface and
reinstall drain plug. Torque to 10 ft-lb.

3) Place new filter in shallow pan with

open end up. Fill with new oil until oil
reaches the bottom of the threads.
Allow 2 minutes for oil to be absorbed
by filter material.
