TO ADJUST HANDLE

The handle on your lawn mower has different

height positions-adjust to height that suits you.

1. 

Loosen the 2 lever A on both sides.

2. 

Rotate upper handle to new catch desired.

3. 

Re-tighten lever A.

REAR DEFLECTOR

The rear deflector, attached between the rear wheels

of your mower, is provided to minimize the possibility

that objects will be thrown out of the rear of the 

mower into the operator’s mowing position. If the 

deflector becomes damaged, it should be replaced.

ENGINE

ENGINE SPEED

Your engine speed has been factory set. Do not

attempt to increase engine speed or it may result 

in personal injury. If you believe that the engine is 

running too fast or too slow, take your lawn mower 

to your local LawnMaster dealer for repair and 

adjustment.

THROTTLE CONTROL

If it becomes necessary to adjust or replace the

throttle control, see the adjustment section of your

engine manual.

CARBURETTOR 

The carburettor has been preset at the factory and 

adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor 

adjustment may be required to compensate for 

differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load.

• 

The air filter must be assembled to the 

carburettor when running engine - never run an 

engine without an air-filter.

• 

Best carburettor adjustment is obtained when 

fuel tank is 1/4 full.
