Operating the Self-propel Drive and Engaging the Cutting Blades Checking the Blade-stop System Operation Before each use, check that the blades stop within 3 seconds of releasing the control bar. • To operate the self-propel drive without engaging the blades, raise the control bar to the handle (Figure 16). Using the Grass Bag Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the blade-stop system operation.
PAGE 13
Important: If the newspaper is unravelled or shredded, the blades did not stop properly, which could result in an unsafe operating condition. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer. If the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove it and install the side-discharge deflector before bagging the clippings; refer to Removing the Side-discharge Chute (page 14). WARNING Recycling the Clippings The blades are sharp; contacting the blades can result in serious personal injury.

If the problem persists, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. 2. The fuel shutoff valve is closed. 3. The throttle lever is not in the correct position. 4. There is dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system. 5. The wire is not connected to the spark plug. 6.
PAGE 28
Problem There is an uneven cutting pattern. The discharge chute gets plugged up. The machine does not self-propel. The blades do not rotate or they slip. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. All 4 wheels are not at the same height. 1. Place all 4 wheels at the same height. 2. The blades are dull. 3. You are mowing in the same pattern repeatedly. 4.
