SECTION 5:  KNOW YOUR LAWN MOWER

Figure 9

Read this operator’s manual and safety rules before 
operating your lawn mower. Compare the illustration in 
Figure 9 with your lawn mower to familiarize yourself 
with the location of various controls and adjustments. 
Save this manual for future reference.

WARNING: The operation of any lawn
mower can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can damage
your eyes severely. Always wear safety
glasses while operating the mower, or
while performing any adjustments or
repairs.

Motor/Blade Control Assembly

The motor/blade control is located on the upper handle 
of the mower. See Figure 9. The motor/blade control 
handle engages and disengages the motor and blade.

WARNING: 

The motor/blade control assembly

is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its
operations.

Rear Trailing Shield

The rear trailing shield, attached between the rear 
wheels of your mower, is provided to minimize the 
possibility of objects being thrown at the operator from 
the rear of the mower. See Figure 9.

Circuit Breaker

The mower is equipped with a circuit breaker, located 
on the motor/blade control. Refer to Figure 10. This 
circuit breaker may trip when too much strain is placed 
on the mower. See Making Adjustments Section.
