Product Overview Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Each time before you mow, make sure that the self-propel drive and the blade control bar operate properly. When you release the blade control bar, the blade and self-propel drive should stop. If they do not, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure.
Filling the Fuel Tank with Gasoline Checking the Engine Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the engine oil level. For best results, use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Using unleaded gasoline results in fewer combustion deposits and longer engine life. You may use leaded gasoline if unleaded gasoline is not available.
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling. • Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
Note: Do not shift speeds while squeezing the blade control bar against the handle in the Run/Drive position; this can damage the transmission. Move the blade control bar to the Run/Shift position when you change the ground speed. 5. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply. Allow the rope to return to the handle slowly. 6. When the engine starts, move the throttle control to the Fast position, and set the ground speed control as desired.
Adjusting the Cutting Height Each wheel is adjusted individually with a wheel height adjustment lever. Cutting heights are 3/4 inch (19 mm), 1-1/4 inches (32 mm), 1-3/4 inches (44 mm), 2-1/4 inches (57 mm), 2-3/4 inches (70 mm), and 3-1/4 inches (83 mm). Figure 17 Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in serious injury. 1. Bag frame on retaining post 2.
Removing the Grass Bag • Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season. Periodically file down nicks on the blade. 1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Raise the discharge door handle and move it forward to engage the pin with the catch (Figure 17). 3. Grasp the handles at the front and the rear of the bag and lift the bag off the mower. 4.

the leaves clump on top of the lawn, the mower may plug and cause the engine to stall. • Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization. If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following: • Sharpen the blade. • Walk at a slower pace while mowing. • Raise the cutting height on your mower. • Cut the grass more frequently. • Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.

Note: For the best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins. During the year, file down any small nicks to maintain the cutting edge. Figure 29 A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown into the operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Note: You can also check the balance using a commercially manufactured blade balancer. • Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. 2.
Cleaning Note: The blade will draw in water and wash out clippings. Let the water run until you no longer see clippings being washed out from under the housing. Cleaning under the Mower Housing 4. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. To ensure the best performance, keep the underside of the mower housing clean. Be especially careful to keep the kickers free of debris (Figure 30). 6. Start the mower and let it run for a few minutes to dry out the mower and its components. 5.
