slower walking speed; then mow again at a
lower setting for best lawn appearance. If grass
is too long and leaves clumps on top of lawn,
mower may plug and cause motor to stall.
Alternate mowing direction. This helps disperse
clippings over lawn for even fertilization.
If the finished cut lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try one or more of the following:
Sharpen the blade.
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
Cut grass more frequently.
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
Set height-of-cut on front wheels one notch
lower than rear wheels. (example: set front
wheels at 2 inch setting and rear wheels at 2.5
inch setting)
Cutting Leaves
When cutting is complete, always be sure that
50% of the lawn shows through the cut leaf
cover. This may require one or more passes over
the leaves.
For light leaf coverage, position all wheels at the
same height-of-cut setting.
Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in
the grass.
If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want
to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime
reduces the acidity of oak leaves.

Adjusting Height-of-Cut
The mower has five height-of-cut adjustments: 1 / ",
2", 2 / ", 3" and 3 / ". The rear adjustment lever
adjusts the height-of-cut for both rear wheels, and the
front adjustment lever adjusts both front wheels.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Adjusting height-of-cut levers could bring
hands into contact with moving blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with blade could cause serious
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Stop motor, disconnect extension cord from
mower and wait for all moving parts to
stop before changing the height-of-cut.
Do not put fingers under housing to lift
mower when adjusting height-of-cut levers.
1.
Stop motor and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Disconnect extension cord from mower.
2.
For easier adjustment, lift housing up so wheels
are off ground. Do not place hands under deck
to lift housing. Squeeze adjustment lever toward
wheel and move lever to desired setting
(Fig. 16). Ensure pin on adjustment lever
engages notch in mower housing. Adjust all
wheels to the same setting.
Note:
For easier adjustment of rear wheels,
grasp lower handle with one hand and
lift up mower slightly so wheel is off
ground. Then squeeze adjustment
handle toward wheel.
