IMPORTANT! The mower belts are adjusted to ensure the blades stop
turning within seven (7) seconds of releasing the blade control lever. If
you are making any belt adjustments whatsoever, for your safety and the
safety of others around you, you must ensure the belts are re-adjusted to
achieve this design specification.

mowed, hold the operator presence control down
with one hand.
2. With the other hand, SLOWLY push the blade
control lever forward to the ON position.
