HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed was set at the factory for
optimum performance.
It is not adjustable.
ENGINE ZONE CONTROL
_CAUTION:
Federal regulations require
an engine control to be installed on this
lawn mower in order to minimize the
risk of blade contact injury. Do not under
any circumstances
attempt to defeat the
function of the operator control. The blade
turns when the engine is running.
• Your lawn mower is equipped with an
operator presence control bar which
requires the operator to be positioned
behind the lawn mower handle to start
and operate the lawn mower.
DRIVE CONTROL
• Self-propelling
is controlled by hold-
ing the operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pulling the drive
control lever rearward to the handle.
The farther toward the handle the lever
is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.
• Forward motion will stop when either the
operator
presence
control bar or drive
control lever are released. To stop forward
motion without stopping engine, release
the drive control lever only. Hold operator
presence control bar down against handle
to continue mowing without self-propelling.
NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the
mower will not roll backwards, push the mow-
er forward slightly to disengage drive wheels.
DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the drive control system may be-
come "loose", resulting in decreased speed.
There is a button on the underside of the d rive
control housing to increase tension on the
drive cable. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug.
2. Pull out button on underside of drive
control, then push button back in.
3. Operate
mower to test drive speed.
If condition
becomes
worse after the
above steps (forward speed has become
slower), you r system was not "loose". Re-
peating the above steps will return your
unit to the proper adjustment and speed.
4. If condition fails to improve after the
above steps (forward speed remains
the same), your drive belt is worn and
should be replaced.
