FOLDING HANDLE

This unit is equipped with a folding upper handle for easier storage and transportation. The handle can be folded by sliding the handle lock loops (item 28) up. This releases the upper handle, allowing it to be folded over the unit.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

This unit requires two people to lift it. With the handle in the folded position, lift holding the lower handle and belt/shaft guard one on each side of the machine. Secure the machine in place during transport. See page 3 for weight specifications

Never lift the machine while the engine is running.

BLADE POSITION & DEPTH CONTROL LEVER

The blades can be raised or lowered into the ground by height adjustment lever on the engine base. The resulting blade depth can be adjusted higher or lower. See ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

The depth of the blades can be raised or lowered by rotating the knob on the top of the adjustment lever. The blades are lowered by rotating the knob counter-clockwise, and raised by rotating the knob clockwise. The relative depth of the blades can be gauged by using the depth scale located on the right front corner of the engine base.
