HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER

ENGINE SPEED 

Engine speed was set at the factory for 
optimum performance. It is not adjustable.

ENGINE ZONE CONTROL

 

CAUTION:

  Federal regulations re quire 

an engine control to be installed on this 
lawn mower in order to minimize the risk 
of blade contact injury. Do not un der 
any circumstances attempt to de feat the 
func tion of the operator con trol. The blade 
turns when the engine is running.
•  Your lawn mower is equipped with an 

operator pres ence control bar which 
requires the operator to be positioned 
behind the lawn mower handle to start 
and operate the lawn mower.

DRIVE CONTROL 

•  Self-propelling is controlled by hold ing 

the operator presence control bar down 
to the handle and pulling either drive 
control lever rearward to the handle.  
The further toward the handle a lever is 
pulled, the faster the unit will travel.

•  Forward motion will stop when either 

the operator presence control bar or a 
drive control lever are released. To stop 
forward motion without stop ping engine, 
re lease a drive control lever only. Hold 
op er a tor presence control bar down 
against handle to con tin ue mowing 
without self-propelling.

NOTE:

 If after releasing the drive control 

the mower will not roll backwards, push 
the mower forward slightly to disengage 
drive wheels.

TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT

Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels 
for high cut, adjust cutting height to suit 
your requirements. Me di um position is 
best for most lawns.
•  To change cutting height, squeeze adjuster 

lever to ward wheel. Move wheel up or 
down to suit your re quire ments. Be sure 
all wheels are in the same setting.

NOTE: 

Adjuster is properly positioned 

when plate tab inserts into hole in lever. 
Also, 9-position adjusters (if so equipped) 
allow lever to be positioned between the 
plate tabs.

The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects 
thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.  
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your 
lawn mower or performing any adjustments or repairs.  We recom-

mend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask over spectacles.

Use ear

damage to hearing.

DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

Over time, the drive control system may 
become “loose”, resulting in decreased 
speed.  There is a turnbuckle on the drive 
control housing to increase tension on the 
drive cable.  Pro ceed as follows:
1.  Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug 

wire from spark plug.

2.  Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to 

increase drive speed.

3.  Operate mower to test drive speed.  

Readjust as required.

4.

 

If condition fails to improve after the 
above steps (forward speed remains 
the same), your drive belt is worn and 
should be re placed.
