Theoperation of any lawn
mower can result in
foreign objects thrown into

in severe eye damage.

shields while operating your lawn mower
or performing any adjustments or repairs.
We recommend a wide vision safety

glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed is controlled by a
throttle located on the side of the upper
handle. Fast position is for starting, normal
cutting, trimming and better grass bag-
ging. Slow position is for light cutting,
trimming and fuel economy.

ENGINE ZONE CONTROL
ACAUTION: Federal regulations require
an engine control to be installed on this
lawn mower in order to minimize the risk
of blade contact injury. Do not under any
cimumstances attempt to defeat the
function of the operator control. The blade
turns when the engine is running.
• Your lawn mower is equipped with an
operator presence control bar which
requires the operator to be positioned
behind the lawn mower handle to start
and operate the lawn mower.
TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
Raise wheels for low cut and lower
wheels for high cut, adjust cutting height
to suit your requirements. Medium
position is best for most lawns.
• To change cutting height, squeeze
adjuster lever toward wheel. Move

ments. Be sure all wheels are in the
same setting.
NOTE: Adjuster is properly positioned when
