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.
BEFORE OPERATION
Engine Oil
The mower is shipped without oil in the engine.
All engines are run at the factory prior to packaging. Most of the oil is removed prior to shipment;
however, some oil remains in the engine. The amount of oil left in the engine varies.
Add enough oil to bring the oil level between the upper and lower limit marks on the dipstick as shown.
Do not overfill engine with oil.
