10.Immediately push the lawn mower over the newspaper ball.

11.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

12.Walk around the lawn mower to check for the newspaper ball. If the ball did not go under the deck, repeat steps 6 through 11.

13.Pull the lawn mower away from the newspaper. If the newspaper ball unravels or is shredded, the blade has not properly stopped, resulting in an unsafe operating condition. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

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 a 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

You can use the grass bag to perform an additional test to check the blade brake clutch mechanism:

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

2.Start the engine.

3.Push the blade control bail (Fig. 13) down to its lowest position.

4.Move the blade control bail to the right and then lift it to about one inch (2.5 cm) below the handle. The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that the blade is engaged and rotating.

5.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

Each wheel is adjusted individually with a wheel height adjustment lever. Cutting heights are 1 inch (25 mm),

1-1/2 inches (38 mm), 2 inches (51 mm), 2-1/2 inches (64 mm), 3 inches (76 mm), and 3-1/2 inches (89 mm).

Danger

Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in 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.

1.Pull the wheel height adjustment lever toward the wheel (Fig. 16) and move it to the desired setting.
