Adjusting Cutting Height
IMPORTANT:
All wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the
height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will
help stop scalping of the grass.
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel
position provides cutting height adjustment. Each
adjusting plate has nine height positions. Height of cut
will change when you move the thumb lever from one
position to another.
•
Simply depress the lever towards the wheel and
move the lever assembly to desired position. See
Figure 21.

Adjusting Carburetor
WARNING:
If any adjustments are made to
the engine (e.g. carburetor) while the engine is
running, keep clear of all moving parts. Be
careful of heated surfaces like the muffler.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run
rough too. Make sure that the air cleaner is clean and
attached to the carburetor before deciding to adjust the
carburetor.
To adjust carburetor, please follow the engine manual.
SECTION 10: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more. Store the mower in a clean, dry area.
WARNING:
Be sure to disconnect the
spark plug wire and DE-ENERGIZE starter
before performing any repairs or
maintenance. DO NOT attempt any
maintenance or service to the engine and/or
mower equipped with the safety key in the
unlocked and/or energized mode.
WARNING:
NEVER assume starter is de-
energized, even if the key is in the locked
position and/or removed from the engine.
ALWAYS de-energize self starter prior to
performing any maintenance or service to the
engine and/or mower. Follow instructions on
the engine and/or machine to de-energize
starter.
WARNING:
Never store the machine or
fuel continuator indoors where there is an
open flame, spark or pilot light such as on
water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other
gas appliance.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may
cause damage to electric components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will
result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
•
Lubricate the mower as instructed on page 13.
•
You can fold your mower’s handle for convenience
of storage:
Remove the starter rope from the rope guide; loosen
the two hand knobs on the sides of the handle, and let
the upper handle fold down to the rear.
Move the hairpin clips to the outer hole in the weld pins
on the handle mounting brackets. Spread the sides of
the lower handle, and push it forward and down.
•
Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required.
Refer to page 14.
•
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rocksalt.
NOTE: If storing the mower in an unventilated or metal
storage shed, make sure to rustproof the equipment
with a light oil or silicone.
