OPERATION PROCEDURES
During operation, tightly hold the stop control handle
with both hands.
Note: During operation, when the stop control
handle is released, the engine will stop and
thus stopping the lawn mower from
operating.
TO STOP ENGINE
CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for
a few seconds after the engine is shut off.
1. Release the stop control handle to stop the engine
and blade.
GRASS CATCHER
Empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean and
ensure its meshwork is ventilated.
DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned
after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings,
leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to
accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may
prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by
tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool
(make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not at any time make any
adjustment to lawn mower without
fi rst
stopping the engine and disconnecting the
spark plug wire.
CAUTION: Before changing mowing height,
stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable.
Your mower is equipped with a central height
adjustment lever offering 7 height positions.
1. Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before
changing mower cutting height.
2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 7
different height positions.
3. To change the height of cut, squeeze adjuster lever
toward the wheel, moving up or down to selected
height. All wheels will be in the same height of cut.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SPARK PLUG
Use only original replacement spark plug. For best
results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use.
