The running speed of the machine should
allow the mower blades to maintain this
maximum speed while mowing across turf.
Use a slower ground speed for cutting tall
grass, grass which is heavy with moisture, or
when mowing uphill. If ground speed is too
fast, or blade speed is too slow, mowing will
be uneven because mower blades will not be
able to lift grass into cutting position as the
mower passes.
Throttle control regulates speed of engine
as measured in RPM. This control SHOULD
NOT be used to control ground speed.
MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE
1. Do not adjust mower or change
attachments unless the engine has been
stopped and the key has been removed.
2. Good maintenance, wiping up gasoline
and oil spills, will reduce potential fire
hazards.
3. To insure that the mower will remain in
safe operating condition, check and
tighten all bolts, nuts and screws.
Especially make certain the blade bolt/
nuts are always tightened properly.
4. Never adjust governor on engine to a
faster speed. The engine manufacturer
adjusts the engine RPM to the proper
setting.
5. Allow time for the engine to cool down
prior to storing mower. Do not store
mower or gasoline near any open flame
or where gasoline fumes may be ignited.
6. Always replace worn or broken parts with
genuine Encore repair parts purchased
from an authorized Encore dealer. Using
anything other than Encore repair parts
may void all Encore factory warranties.
