Blade Control Handle

The blade control handle is located on the upper handle of the mower. The blade control handle must be depressed in order to operate the unit. Release the blade control handle to stop the engine and blade.

WARNING: This control mechanism is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operations. The blade will be rotating whenever the engine is running.

Throttle Control

Your engine is equipped with a constant speed throttle, which is set at full throttle for best performance.

Starter Rope

The starter rope is attached to the handle. Stand behind the unit and pull the starter rope to start the unit.

Primer

The primer is used to pump gas into the carburetor. Use it to start a cold engine, but do not use it to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

Cutting Height Adjustment Lever

This lever, located at each wheel, lets you adjust cutting height of the grass. Remember to put all four levers at the same height to avoid uneven cut.
