Note: 

When moving the deck lift lever up and down, the front 

caster wheels must also be adjusted to coordinate with the deck 

lift lever. If the deck lift lever is moved into the lowest cutting 

position, then the front caster wheels must be moved into the 

highest hole adjustment. Follow this guideline when adjusting 

the deck height. See Figure 4-4 for reference. 

Figure 4-4

Mowing

The following information will be helpful when operating your 

mower.

WARNING! 

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid 

discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks, 

bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging 

material against a wall or obstruction which may 

cause discharged material to ricochet back toward 

the operator.

• 

Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed 

growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

• 

For best results, it is recommended that the first two laps 

be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. 

After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the 

discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will 

give a better appearance to the lawn.

• 

Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds or 

extremely tall grass. Your mower is designed to mow lawns, 

NOT clear brush.

• 

Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.

WARNING! 

After striking a foreign object, stop the 

engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground 

against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the mower 

for any damage. Repair the damage before starting 

and operating the mower.

Front Wheel Pivot Lock

The two front wheels of the mowing attachment include both a 

free-pivoting feature used for steering the unit around objects, 

and  a locking feature for mowing in a straight line or across 

slopes (never up and down slopes).

To lock and unlock the front wheels:

1. 

Pull up on the locking rod, as shown in Figure 4-5.

2. 

Move the locking rod outward to and align with the hole 

provided to lock the wheels in a straight ahead position. 

See Figure 4-5.

3. 

Move the locking rod inward to align with the hole 

provided to allow the wheels to free pivot, enabling 

steering around objects.
