The operation of any
SAFETYGLASSESlawn mower can result
in foreign objects thrown
into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye dam-
age. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields while operating your lawn mower
or performing any adjustments or repairs.
We recommend a standard safety glasses
or wide vision safety mask worn over
spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER
THROTTLE / ENGINE CONTROL
The engine is controlled by a throttle
control located on the side of the upper
handle. START position is for starting a
cold engine; FAST position is for starting
a warm engine, normal cutting, trimming
and better grass bagging; SLOW posi-
tion is for light cutting, trimming and fuel
economy, and STOP position is for stop-
ping the engine.

BLADE CONTROL
_f_CAUTION: When the blade control is
engaged, the blade turns.
• To start the blade, push the blade/brake
control lever forward (1) and hold the
operator presence control bar down
to the handle (2). To stop the blade,
release the operator presence control
bar.
Allow a cold engine to warm up in high idle
position for one minute before engaging
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.
A&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.
BLADE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the blade control system may
become "loose", resulting in decreased
blade speed. There are holes in the
operator presence control bar to increase
tension on the belt. Proceed as follows:
• Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug.
• Move cable end to the next hole (3).
• Operate mower to test blade speed.
If condition fails to improve after the above
steps (blade speed remains the same),
your belt is worn and should be replaced.
