HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED
The engine

CONTROL
,_CAUTION:
Federal
regulations
require
an engine

to be installed
on this
lawn mower
in order to minimize
the
risk of blade contact
injury. Do not under

to defeat the
function
of the operator

operator
presence

bar which
requires
the operator
to be positioned
behind

the lawn mower.
DRIVE

• Self-propelling
is controlled
by hold-
ing the operator
presence
