MOWING TIPS
1. Under certain conditionsit may be necessaryto
raise the height of cut to keep from overloading
the engine and leaving clumps of grass clip-
pings.
2. For extremely heavy cutting, make the width
of your cut 1/2" to 3/4" the normal cut. This
will reduce the load on the engine and give you
cleaner cutting and bagging.
3. The user should note that when cutting moist,
heavy grass with a rear bagging mower,
dumps of cut grass may fail to enter the
grass catcher. To pick up the clumps, if they
occur, run the mower over the area a second
time.
BLOCK OF WOOD_
Your mower is equipped to give you (3) forward
speeds.
CAUTION: DO NOT move speed selector lever to
change speeds unlessengine isrunning.
(1) (SLOW) speed for heavy cutting or trimming.
(2) Speed for normal cutting and walking speeds.
(3) (HIGH) for light cutting and fast walking speed.
Select the de_ired setting which suitsyou best by
pushing speed selector lever slightly to the left,
then to the speed desired (See Fig. 17).
POWER-PROPELLED DRIVE
1. Your power-propelled drive is accomplished
by a belt drive from the engine crankshaft to
drive a worm and pinion gear case.
2. Thedrive belt isspring-loaded at the gear case
to maintain proper belt tension. Keep the area
around the gear case clear of trash by re-
moving drive cover and cleaning (See Fig.
22 and 24).
3. The gear case islubricated with multi-purpose
automotive grease. DO NOT USEANY OTHER
type grease or oil in the gear case. See "GEAR
CASE" under "MAINTENANCE".
4. Check your mower, each time you mow, to be
sure that the front wheels turn freely. If wheels
DO NOT turn freely, remove any trash which
may have gotten into the wheel, pinion, or
bearing areas.
5. If at any time, the drive belt is replaced, use
only factory specified belt to get longer life
and maximum performance.
