Using Your Lawn Mower

Be sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the lawn mower or the engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the opera- tor and others.

WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from the spark plug, thor- oughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

Operating Tips

1.For best results and effective mulching, do not cut wet grass.

2.New grass, thick grass, or wet grass may require a narrower cut.

3.For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass.

4.Your lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there

is growth.

5.Adjust ground speed according to condition of lawn.

6.If the grass has been allowed to grow in excess of 4 inches, mulching is not recom- mended. Mow using the side discharge to reduce the grass height to 3-1/4 inches or less before mulching.
