Operation
• Save all instructions
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) supplied before starting. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine before starting.
The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your mower or performing any adjust-
ments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or wide vision safety mask be worn over spectacles.
ENGINE SPEED
Engine speed was set at the factory for optimum perfor-
mance. It is not adjustable.
ENGINE CONTROL
WARNING
Federal regulations require an engine control to be installed
on this mower in order to minimize the risk of blade contact
injury. Do not under any circumstances attempt to defeat
the function of the blade control lever. The blade turns
when the engine is running.
• Your mower is equipped with a blade control lever which
requires the operator to be positioned behind the mower
handle to start and operate the mower.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT (FIG. 5)
IMPORTANT:
Before adjusting the cutting height consider
what is best for the lawn being cut. For best results never
cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass.
The cutting height can be adjusted to any of the seven posi-
tions shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
All four wheels must be adjusted to the same position.
