NOTE: You can vary the ground speed by increasing or decreasing the distance between the ground speed control and the handle. Lower the control bar to decrease the ground speed when you are making a turn or if the lawn mower is moving too fast for you. If you lower the control bar too far the lawn mower stops self-propelling. Squeeze the ground speed control closer to the handle to increase the ground speed. When you hold the ground speed control tight against the handle, the lawn mower self-propels at the maximum ground speed. Move the ground speed control to the Neutral position when you use the lawn mower for trimming or whenever you leave the lawn mower.

3.3.5Operating the Blade Control Lever (Blade Brake Clutch Units Only):

1.Start the engine.

2.Squeeze the blade control bail against the handle (Fig. 1).

3.Move the blade control lever to the full forward Latch position. Blades should engage.

4.Release the blade control bail to disengage the blades.

NOTE: The blade control lever will release rapidly when the blade control bail is released. To avoid minor injury, keep hands clear of the blade control lever when the blade control bail is released.

3.3.6Using the Discharge Tunnel:

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

2.Insert the plug. (Refer to Section 3.4 Installing the Discharge Plug).

3.To remove the plug, move the discharge door handle rearward and lift up the spring clip on the bottom of the plug. When the plug is unlocked, pull it out of the discharge tunnel.
