Read instructions carefully. A WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running or until the engine has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes after running. 9 Before Starting • Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. If equipped with a rubber boot, make certain the metal loop on the end of the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug. To Start Engine And Engage Blade • Move the throttle control lever to all the way to the FAST (rabbit) position. Mower is designed to be operated at full throttle. • Prime engine as instructed in the engine manual. • Standing behind the unit, depress the blade control handle and hold it against the upper handle. • Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. • Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Return it slowly to the rope guide. NOTE: If any problems are encountered, refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide for helpful information. To Stop Engine And Blade • Release the blade control handle to stop the engine and blade. A— • Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended. Using Your Rotary Mower • Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others. • For the best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the mower, preventing proper discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass, thick grass or wet grass may require a narrower cut. • When using the side-discharge mower, the best mowing pattern is one that allows the clippings to discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn. This permits recutting of the clippings to further pulverize them. When cutting high weeds, discharge towards cut portion, then recut at right angles to first direction. • For a healthier lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is growth. • This mower is designed to be operated at full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most effective job of mowing. A WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove 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. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired. 10 SECTION 9: ADJUSTMENTS A WARNING: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawn mower without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire. Cutting Height Adjustment 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 be changed when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to another. Simply depress the lever towards wheel and move wheel and lever assembly to desired position. All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. See Figure 8. For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment handles to positions which will give a higher cutting height. Both front and rear handles must be placed in the same relative position. Handle Height Adjustment Figure 9 Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher height position. To lower the handle height, proceed as follows. • Remove the starter rope from the rope guide. • Remove the upper handle by removing the hand knobs and carriage bolts. Lay the upper handle out of the way, being careful not to bend or kink the cables. 11 • Remove the hairpin clips from the weld pins on the handle brackets. Press inward on the legs of the lower handle. Remove lower handle from the mower. • Turn the lower handle around so the notch on the bottom of the lower handle is facing forward as shown in Figure 9. Reassemble, placing the bottom holes in the handle over the weld pins in the handle mounting bracket. • Reassemble the upper handle. • Place the hairpin clips in the inner holes in the weld pins and attach the starter rope as instructed in the Set-Up Instructions. SECTION 10: LUBRICATION A WARNING: Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work on lawn mower. Blade Control: Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle and the brake cable at least once a season with light oil. See Figure 10. The blade control must operate freely in both directions. Wheels: Lubricate the wheel bearings (if so equipped) at least once a season with light oil (or engine oil). Also, if the wheels are removed for any reason, lubric...
