disengage the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to
engage the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts
to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Move the two bypass levers to the inside and
push them in until the washer on the rod
passes through the slot (Figure 22).
4. Push the levers outward to lock them in place

Operating Tips
Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation,
operate the engine at the Fast position. Air is
required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so
do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally
surround the mower by uncut grass. Always try to
have one side of the mower free from uncut grass,
which allows air to be drawn into the mower.
Cutting a Lawn for the First Time
Cut grass slightly longer than normal to ensure
that the cutting height of the mower does not
scalp any uneven ground. However, the cutting
height used in the past is generally the best one to
use. When cutting grass longer than six inches tall,
you may want to cut the lawn twice to ensure an
acceptable quality of cut.
Cut 1/3 of the Grass Blade
It is best to cut only about 1/3 of the grass blade.
Cutting more than that is not recommended unless
grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows
more slowly.
