• If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the mower away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have dissipated. • Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely. Preparation • • While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary. • Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. • Replace faulty silencers. • If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this out-doors. • Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

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 and blade control lever 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.
Filling the Fuel Tank with Gasoline 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. 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.
Figure 9 Figure 11 1. Fuel tank cap 1. Fuel valve 2. Remove the cap from the tank. 3. Move the throttle control lever to the Choke position (Figure 6). 3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) from the top of the tank. Do not fill into the filler neck. Note: You do not need to use the choke when the engine is warm. Important: Do not fill the tank more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the top of the tank because the gasoline must have room to expand. 4.
Disengaging the Blade Operating the Blade Release the blade control bar. Engaging the Blade Note: When you start your engine, the blade does not turn. You must engage the blade to mow. Important: When you release the blade control bar, the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If it does not stop properly, stop using your mower immediately and contact an Authorized Service Dealer. 1. Pull the blade control bar to the handle and hold it (Figure 12).
Checking the Blade Brake Clutch Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in serious injury. Check the blade control bar and the blade control lever before each use to ensure that the blade brake clutch system is operating properly. • Stop the engine and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting the cutting height.
Removing the Grass Bag To remove the bag, reverse the steps above. The mower can throw grass clippings and other objects through an open discharge tunnel. Objects thrown with enough force could cause serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystander. Do not operate the mower without a grass bag installed. Mowing with the Grass Bag Figure 17 1. Wheel height adjustment lever (at the highest setting) 2.
• For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same cutting height setting. Operating a mower with its engine running at a speed greater than the factory setting can cause the mower to throw a part of the blade or engine into the operator’s or bystander’s area and result in serious personal injury or death. • If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher than the rear cutting height.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • • • • • Check the engine oil level. Ensure that the blade stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade control bar. Check the blade brake cable adjustment and adjust the cable if necessary. Check the mower blade for wear or damage.
