Read this operator’s manual and safety rules before operating your lawn mower. Compare the illustration in Figure 9 with your lawn mower to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

WARNING: The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower, or while performing any adjustments or repairs.

Motor/Blade Control Assembly

The motor/blade control is located on the upper handle of the mower. See Figure 9. The motor/blade control handle engages and disengages the motor and blade.

WARNING: The motor/blade control assembly is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operations.

Rear Trailing Shield

The rear trailing shield, attached between the rear wheels of your mower, is provided to minimize the possibility of objects being thrown at the operator from the rear of the mower. See Figure 9.

Circuit Breaker

The mower is equipped with a circuit breaker, located on the motor/blade control. Refer to Figure 10. This circuit breaker may trip when too much strain is placed

on the mower. See Making Adjustments Section.
