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 ground drive clutch lever and the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop - If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead.

Height of Cut
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks firmly into one of the nine notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent |
