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

THROTTLE / ENGINE CONTROL (See Fig. 5)

The engine is controlled by a throttle control located on the side of the upper handle. CHOKE position is for starting a cold engine; FAST position is for starting a warm engine, normal cutting, trimming and better grass bagging; SLOW position is for light cutting, trimming and fuel economy, and STOP position is for stopping the engine.

BLADE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

CAUTION: When the blade control is engaged, the blade turns.

•To start the blade, hold the operator presence control bar down to the handle and push the blade/brake con- trol lever forward until it latches. To stop the blade, release the operator presence control bar. Do not pull the blade/brake lever rearward with the operator presence control bar down against the handle. Allow a cold engine to warm up in high idle position for one minute before engaging the blade.

NOTE: It is normal to hear the belt slip as the blade is engaged and comes up to speed.

•Do not start the blade in uncut grass. Move the mower out of uncut grass before starting the blade.

CAUTION: Federal regulations require this blade/brake control to minimize the risk of blade contact injury. Do not under any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of this control.

DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 7)

•Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pulling the drive control lever rearward to the handle. The farther toward the handle the lever is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.

•Forward motion will stop when either the operator pres- ence control bar or drive control lever are released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the drive control lever only. Hold operator presence control bar down against handle to continue mowing without self-propelling.

NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to disengage drive wheels.

Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”, resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive cable. Proceed as follows:

1.Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

2.Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive speed.

3.Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as re- quired.

4.If condition fails to improve after the above steps (for- ward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn and should be replaced.
