HOW TO OPERATE THE LAWN MOWER
TO START THE ENGINE
NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small amount of
smoke may be present during the initial use of the lawn mower. This is
normal.
NOTE: Your engine may be equipped with an automatic choke system.
No priming or choking is required before starting for these models. On
other models, either a choke lever or a priming bulb is provided. Use
this to start a cold engine.
TO START THE ENGINE USING
STARTER ROPE
1. To start the engine using the
starter rope, hold the Operator
Presence Control Bar down to
the upper handle.
2. Pull the Starter Handle (at the
end of the starter rope) quickly.
DO NOT allow the starter rope to
snap back.
TO START THE ENGINE USING THE
KEY START (IF EQUIPPED)
1. To start the engine, hold the
Operator Presence Control
Bar
down to the handle.
2. Turn the Start Key or press the
Start Button.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT
CRANK THE ENGINE MORE THAN
FIVE CONTINUOUS SECONDS EACH
TIME YOU TRY TO START. WAIT FIVE
TO 10 SECONDS BETWEEN EACH ATTEMPT TO START.
TO STOP THE ENGINE AND
BLADE
1. To stop the engine, release the
Operator Presence Control Bar.
TO SET THE MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE ENGINE AND BLADE ARE STOPPED.
Adjust the cutting height to suit your requirements. The “Middle”
position is suitable for most lawns. Raise the wheels for low cut and
lower the wheels for a high cut. See page 1
of this guide for a grass
height cutting guide.
NOTE: For shipping purposes the rear wheels on your lawn mower
may not be adjusted to the same position as the front wheels. Before
operating the mower adjust all wheels to the same cutting height.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT MODELS
1. Remove the wheel, bolt, and
hardware and reassemble in
the desired adjustment hole.
2. Reinstall the wheel components
in the same order in which
they were removed. Tighten all
hardware securely.
3. Make sure all the wheels are at
the same height.
QUICK ADJUSTMENT MODELS
1. To change the cutting height,
squeeze the Height Adjuster
lever toward the wheel.
2. Move the wheel up or down to
the desired position and release
the lever to lock the wheel in
position. Be sure all the wheels
are at the same height.
NOTE: The height adjuster is
properly positioned when the plate
tab inserts into the hole in the lever. 9-position adjusters
(IF EQUIPPED) allow the lever to be positioned between the plate tabs.
QUICK PIN MODELS
1. To change the cutting height,
pull the Height Adjuster lever
up.
2. Move the lever backwards or
forward to the desired position
and release the lever to lock
the wheel in position. Be sure
all the wheels are at the same
height.

single lever.

Height Adjuster toward
wheel.
