Troy-Bilt B809H Manuel D’Utilisation

Service the pre-cleaner, if so equipped, and cartridge/
air cleaner element as instructed in the Briggs & 
Stratton Operator/Owner Manual packed with your unit.

The spark plugs should be cleaned and the gap reset 
once a season. Spark plug replacement is 
recommended at the start of each mowing season. 
Refer to the Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner Manual 
for correct plug type and gap specifications.

Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped 
off promptly. Do NOT allow debris to accumulate 
around the cooling fins of the engine or on any other 
part of the machine, especially the belts, pulleys and 
other moving parts. Clean the underside of the deck 
with a wisk broom, scraper or forced air after each 
mowing.

 The use of a pressure washer or garden 

hose to clean your tractor is NOT recommended. It may 
cause damage to electrical components, spindles, 
pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will 
result in a shortened life of the tractor and reduce its 
serviceability.

Before lubricating, repairing, or

inspecting, always disengage PTO, move
shift lever into neutral position, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.

Lubricate the engine with motor oil as instructed in the 
Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner Manual packed with 
your unit.

Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, 
parking brake and lift linkage at least once a season 
with light oil.

Each end of the tractor’s front pivot bar is equipped with 
a grease fitting. Lubricate with a grease gun after every 
25 hours of tractor operation.

To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
•

Place the PTO knob in the disengaged (OFF) 
position and engage the parking brake.

•

Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the 
bottom notch on the right fender.

•

Remove the PTO belt from around the electric PTO 
clutch. Refer to Figure 15.

•

Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the 
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left 
side of the deck.

•

Pull the deck support pin outward to release the 
deck from the deck lift arm. See Figure 14.

•

Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor 
and release the pin into the hole provided. 

•

Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.

•

Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the 
right fender to raise the deck lift arms up and out of 
the way.

•

Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the 
tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release 
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.

•

Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) 
out from underneath the tractor.
