control bar slightly until the drive control disengages. Hold operator presence
control bar down against handle to continue mowing without self-propel ling.
ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels for deepcut, adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Medium
position is best for most lawns
MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to re-duce ground speed and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lap ping previously cut path and mow slowly.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will
collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
