HOWTO
USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE
SPEED
The engine speed was set at the factory
for optimum
performance. Speed 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 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 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 mower forward slightly
to disengage
drive wheels.
• To keep drive control engaged
when
turning
corners,
push down on the
handle to lift the front wheels off the
ground while turning
lawn mower.
DRIVE
CONTROL
ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the drive control system
may
become "loose",
resulting in decreased
speed.
There is a thumbscrew
on the
underside
of the drive control housing
to
increase tension on the drive cable.
Pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect
spark plug
wire from spark plug.
2. Rotate thumbscrew
counter-clockwise
to tighten the drive cable.
3. Operate mower to test drive 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.
NOTE: If mower begins to "creep" forward,
the drive cable is too tight. Rotate thumb-
screw clockwise to loosen drive cable.
