OPERATION

ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum per-
formance. Speed is not adjustable.
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.
IMPORTANT: This lawn mower is shipped WITHOUT OIL
OR GASOLINE in the engine.
WARNING: The blade turns when the engine is
running.
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 un der any cir cum stanc es attempt to defeat
the function of the operator control. The blade
turns when the engine is running.
NOTE: Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator
presence control bar which requires the operator to be
positioned behind the mower handle to start and operate
the mower.
DRIVE CONTROL
1. Self-propelling is controlled by hold ing the operator
presence control bar down to the handle and pulling
either drive control lever rearward to the handle. The
further toward the handle a lever is pulled, the faster

DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the drive control system may become "loose",
resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on
the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive
cable. Pro ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off; disconnect spark plug wire from plug.
2. Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive
speed (Figure 8).
3. Operate mower to test drive speed. Read just as
required.
4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps
(forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is
worn and should be re placed.
