Test Using the Grass Bag, Adjusting the Cutting Height

Operation

DANGER

If the blade brake clutch system is inoperative, the blade will continue to rotate when you release the blade control bail. Contact with the blade could occur, causing serious injury.

•Check the BBC operation before each use.

•Never use the BBC-equipped lawn mower with an inoperative safety system.

•Take your lawn mower to an Authorized Service Dealer for repair if the safety system fails to operate properly.

Test Using the Grass Bag

1.Install the empty grass bag on the discharge tunnel.

2.Start the engine.

3.For units with a Blade Brake Clutch: Push the blade control lock lever forward to release the blade control bail (Figure 4).

4.Squeeze the blade control bail against the handle.

5.The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that the blade is engaged and rotating.

6.Release the blade control bail. If the bag does not immediately deflate, it indicates that the blade is still rotating. The blade brake clutch mechanism may be deteriorating, and, if ignored could result in an unsafe operating condition. Have the lawn mower inspected and serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

The rear wheels are adjusted together with a height adjustment rod located on the mower housing by the left rear wheel. The front wheels are adjusted separately by removing the front wheel shaft assemblies, adjusting the height, and then replacing the shaft assemblies. The cutting height can be adjusted from 1 inch (25 mm) to 4 1/2 inches (114 mm) in 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) increments.

WARNING

Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade. A moving blade can cause serious injury.

•Stop the engine and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting the cutting height.

•Do Not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.

•Rear Wheel Adjustment:

1.Pull the wheel height adjustment rod upward to release the pin from the notch in the adjustment bracket (Figure 16).
