HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE
SPEED
The engine

performance.

adjustable.
ENGINE
ZONE CONTROL
AI_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.
DRIVE
CONTROL
• Self-propelling
is controlled
by hold-
ing the operator
presence
control
bar
down to the handle
and pulling the drive
control
bar up to the handle.
The closer
to the handle
the bar is pulled,
the faster
the unit will travel.
• Forward
motion
will stop when either
the operator
presence
control
bar or
drive control
bar are released.
To stop
forward
motion without
stopping
engine,
release
the drive control
bar only. Hold
