HOW TO USE YOUR
LAWN MOWER
ENGINE
SPEED
Engine
speed was set at the factory
for
optimum
performance.
It is not adjustable.
ENGINE
ZONE CONTROL
_i, 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.

bar or

lever are released.

the drive control the
mower will not roll backwards,
push the mow-
er forward slightly to disengage
drive wheels.

may be-
come "loose",
resulting

to increase
tension on
the drive cable.
Proceed
as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect
spark plug
wire from spark plug.
2.
Turn nut on underside
of drive control
to increase
drive speed.
3.
Operate
mower to test drive speed.
Readjust

after the
above steps
(forward
speed
remains
the same),
your drive belt is worn and
should
be replaced.
