YARDMAX YG0545, Operator'S Manual

The cutting height can be adjusted to 7 different positions. Raise 
wheels for low cut and lower wheels for high cut. Adjust cutting 
height to suit your requirements. Medium position is best for most 
lawns.

To change cutting height, squeeze height adjustment lever in the 
direction of the wheel. Move the wheel up or down for your cutting 
requirements. (See 

Figure 9

)

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.     Using the primer bulb is important for engine starting. For 

cold starting, press the primer bulb lightly one to three times 
in succession and quickly pull the recoil starter grip. For hot 
starting, simply pull the recoil starter grip.

2.    Grip the starter handle and pull lightly until you feel resistance. 

Then, briskly pull the starter handle up and out at a 30 degree 
angle.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Be sure no one other than 
the operator is standing near 

the lawn mower while starting engine or operating 
mower. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, 
poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains 
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep 
hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any 
moving parts on engine and lawn mower.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for detailed 
instructions on starting and stopping the engine .

Adjusting the cutting height 
may bring you into contact 

with the moving blade, causing serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING

For rough or uneven lawns, 
move the height adjustment 

lever to a higher position. This will prevent you from 
cutting the grass too close to the ground.

Always cut with a sharp blade for the best results. A blade that is 
not sharp cuts unevenly and lets the grass become yellow on the 
surface of the cut.

Do not cut more than 1/3 of the 
length of the grass. This especially  
applies during dry periods. Cut 

first  with  the  cutting  height  set 

high. Then examine the result and 
lower to an applicable height. If the 
grass is too long, operate slowly 
and cut two times if necessary.

For very heavy cutting, decrease the width of the cut by making 
an overlap of the cut path and cutting slowly.

Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the 
lawn.

The side discharging mode of your product is the best cutting 
mode. If you try to cut a large quantity of grass and the product 
does not operate correctly, or has decreased operation time, 
change the product to side discharging mode for better 
performance and operation time.
