Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.

2.5CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Pull the height adjusting latch outward and move to desired cutting height. See Figure 2.7.

IMPORTANT: Move rear height adjustment latch for rear wheel adjustment to correspond with raising or lowering the front wheels to maintain the level of the deck.

2.6 RECYCLING OPERATION

NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.

1.Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 6).

2.Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit) position.

3.Move ground speed control to slowest speed setting.

4.Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.
