rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper operating. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the
mower (spark plug up) and scraping clean with suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire
is disconnected).
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawnmower without first
stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.
Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever.
1. Stop mower, wait to stop rotating parts and disconnect spark plug cable before
changing height.
2. To change the height, squeeze adjuster lever toward the wheel, moving up or down to
selected height (fig. 17). All wheels will be in the same height.
FOR THE BEST RESULTS MOWING
CAUTION: your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no
more than 250 mm. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet grass
(e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the mower deck or
contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.
• Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects
which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower or wrapped around the rotating parts.
It may cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property
and surrounding objects.
• Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the
underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings.
• Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass.
• Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn.
For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds
in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn
in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps
cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time.
• Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on
the lawn.
• The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the
most effective job of mowing.
• Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use
to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching.
• The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure
they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off
the trees before you mow.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Disconnect wire from
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage
before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower
during operation is an indication of damage (especially blade and shaft). The
mower should be promptly inspected and repaired. Contact an authorized service
center.
