GRASS CATCHER

(REAR BAGGING MODELS ONLY)

TO EMPTY GRASS CATCHER

•Simply open rear door and lift grass catcher up and away from mower.

NOTE: Do not drag the bag when emptying. It will cause unnecessary wear. CAUTION: Under normal usage, the catcher material is subject to deterioration and wear and should, therefore, be checked frequently for replacement. Any replacement catcher should be checked to ensure compliance with original manufacturer's specifi cations.

CAUTION: Do not run lawn mower without the rear door, approved grass catcher or clipping deflector in place.

Never attempt to operate mower with the rear door removed or propped open.

OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROL BAR

Your lawn mower is equipped with an op- erator presence control bar which requires the operator to be positioned behind the lawn mower handle in order to start and operate the lawn mower.

CAUTION: Federal regulations require an engine control to be installed on this lawn mower in order to minimize the risk of blade contact injury. Do not under any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of the operator control. The blade turns when the engine is running.

DRIVE CONTROL

“STANDARD DRIVE” CONTROL

•Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pushing the drive control lever forward until it clicks; then releasing the lever.

•Forward motion will stop when the op- erator presence control bar is released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the operator presence control bar slightly until the drive control disengages. Hold operator presence control bar down against handle to con- tinue mowing without self-propelling.

•To keep drive control engaged when turning corners, push down on handle and lift front wheels off ground while turning lawn mower.
