The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
while operating your lawn mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We
recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
THROTTLE/ENGINE CONTROL (See Fig. 4)
The engine is controlled by a throttle control located on the
side of the upper handle. CHOKE position is for starting a
cold engine; FAST position is for starting a warm engine,
normal cutting, trimming and better grass bagging; SLOW
position is for light cutting, trimming and fuel economy,
and STOP position is for stopping the engine.

BLADE CONTROL (See Fig. 5)
CAUTION: When the blade control is
engaged, the blade turns.
• To start the blade, push the blade/brake control lever
forward (1) and hold the operator presence control bar
down to the handle (2). To stop the blade, release the
operator presence control bar.
Allow a cold engine to warm up in high idle position for
one minute before engaging the blade.
NOTE: It is normal to hear the belt slip as the blade is
engaged and comes up to speed.
• Do not start the blade in uncut grass. Move the mower
out of uncut grass before starting the blade.
CAUTION: Federal regulations require
this blade/brake control to minimize
the risk of blade contact injury. Do not
under any circumstances attempt to
defeat the function of this control.
