Husqvarna 7021CH1 How To Use Your Lawn Mower, Engine Speed, Engine Zone Control, To Convert Mower

OPERATION

The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or per- forming any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum per- formance. Speed is not adjustable.

•To change cutting height, squeeze adjuster lever toward wheel.Move wheel up or down to suit your requirements. Be sure all wheels are in the same setting.

NOTE:Adjuster is properly positioned when plate tab inserts into hole in lever. Also, 9-position adjusters (if so equipped) allow lever to be positioned between the plate tabs.

ENGINE ZONE CONTROL

CAUTION: Federal regulations require an engine control to be installed on this lawn mower in order to minimize the risk of blade contact injury. Do not under any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of the operator control. The blade turns when the engine is running.

•Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator presence control bar which requires the operator to be positioned behind the lawn mower handle to start and operate the lawn mower.

DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)

•Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and push- ing the drive control lever forward until it clicks; then releasing the lever.

•Forward motion will stop when the operator presence control bar is released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the operator presence con- trol bar slightly until the drive control disengages. Hold operator presence control bar down against handle to continue mowing without self-propelling.

•To keep drive control engaged when turning corners, push down on handle and lift front wheels off ground while turning lawn mower.
