OPERATING THE MOWER
Turning
To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direc- tion required.
To make a tight turn (release the ground drive clutch lever, Autodrive model), apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces- sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower when the engine is running.
Stopping
Release the engine stop lever and ground drive clutch lever on auto drive
models and push the throttle control lever to the ‘slow’ 
position.
Emergency stop - If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead.

Slopes 
To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees.
Height of Cut 
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to raise or pull backwards to lower the height of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks firmly into one of the eight notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.
