Note:
If the mower still does not start, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Stopping the Engine

Figure 15
Important:
When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within
3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop
using your mower immediately and contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Using the Self-propel Drive
To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your
hands on the upper handle and your elbows at your
sides, and the mower will automatically keep pace with
you (Figure 16).

Adjusting the Cutting Height
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
•
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
•
Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will
be hot and can severely burn you. Keep away
from the hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels
to the same height.
Note:
To raise the mower, move all 4 cutting height
levers forward; to lower the mower, move them all
rearward (Figure 17).
