The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating

mask for over the spectacles or standard safety glasses, available at Sears Retail or
Catalog stores.

and hold.

- Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate and the engine cooling air flow.
• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower per-
formance.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See
Fig. 7)
The cutting height is controlled by turning the height ad-
justment knob in desired direction.
, Turn knob clockwise to raise cutting height.
o Turn knob counterclockwise to lower cutting height.
The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/4to 3-3/
4". The heights are measured from the ground to the
blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are
approximate and may vary depending upon soil condi-
tions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.
o The average lawn should be cut approximately 2-1/2
inches during the cool season and over 3 inches
during hot months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
o For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height.
