STOPPING THE ENGINE

Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set.

Disengage mower blades.

Reduce engine idle speed, and allow engine to run momentarily for cooling.

Turn key to the “OFF” position.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.

Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.

Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.

Turn key to the “RUN” position.

Pull rope with a single fluid motion.

(12V models only) Turn key to the “RUN” position, then to the “START” position.

Set engine idle at maximum RPM for best performance.

Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

While the engine is running, slowly, engage blade control.

In a safe environment, i.e. no children or pets, allow blades to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes, breaking-in the belt for a longer life.

Stop mower.

CAUTION: SHUT OFF THE MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK

PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT

For best cutting results, the mowing deck should be parallel to the ground. To check parallel adjustment, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the deck in both the front and rear of the deck. This adjustment is best done while the tow vehicle and Trail Mower are connected.

Remove bolts and nuts from the “L” hitch (H1).

Raise or lower hitch section to obtain proper front to back adjustment.

Connect bolts and nuts in “L” hitch securely.
