Blade Control
Recoil Starter
The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower.
Depress and squeeze it against the upper handle to operate the
unit. Release it to stop engine and blade.
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand
behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
Choke Control
WARNING: This blade control is a safety device.
Never attempt to bypass its operations.
The choke control is located on the left side of the handle and
when activated, closes the choke plate on the carburetor and
aids in starting the engine. Pull the choke control to activate the
choke on the engine. Use of the choke may not be necessary if
the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
Drive Control
The drive control is located on the underside of the upper handle
and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze it against the upper
handle to engage the drive; release it to slow down or stop
mower from propelling. See Fig. 4-1.
Mulching Baffle
The mulching baffle is used for mulching purposes. Instead
of discharging grass to the side, your mower has the option
of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. Remove grass
catcher (if applicable), and operate with the mulching baffle only
for this purpose.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
One adjustment lever is located on each wheel and is used to
adjust the cutting height. All four levers have to be at the same
relative position to ensure a uniform cut.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
