How to Guide

The cutting height can be adjusted to 7 different positions. Raise
wheels for low cut and lower wheels for high cut. Adjust cutting
height to suit your requirements. Medium position is best for most
lawns.
To change cutting height, squeeze height adjustment lever in the
direction of the wheel. Move the wheel up or down for your cutting
requirements.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When starting the engine for the rst time, push primer ve times.
For all future starts, push the primer three times. Wait about two
seconds between each push. Do not prime to restart a warm engine.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
STARTING THE ENGINE
Be sure no one other than
the operator is standing near
the lawn mower while starting engine or operating
mower. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep
hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any
moving parts on engine and lawn mower.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for detailed
instructions on starting and stopping the engine.
Adjusting the cutting height
may bring you into contact
with the moving blade, causing serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING
For rough or uneven lawns,
move the height adjustment
lever to a higher position. This will prevent you from
cutting the grass too close to the ground.

Always cut with a sharp blade for the best results. A blade that is
not sharp cuts unevenly and lets the grass become yellow on the
surface of the cut.
Do not cut more than 1/3 of the length
of the grass. This especially applies
during dry periods. Cut rst with the
cutting height set high. Then examine
the result and lower to an applicable
height. If the grass is too long, operate
slowly and cut two times if necessary.
For very heavy cutting, decrease the width of the cut by making
an overlap of the cut path and cutting slowly.
Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the
lawn.
Regularly hose the grass catcher with water and let dry before
use. Pores in cloth grass catchers can become lled with dirt and
dust with operation. The grass catcher will then collect less grass.
The side discharging mode of your product is the best cutting
mode. If you try to cut a large quantity of grass and the product
does not operate correctly, or has decreased operation time,
change the product to side discharging mode for better
performance and operation time.
BLADE CONTROL
1. Standing behind the mower, squeeze the engine start/stop
control lever against upper handle.
2. Holding the engine start/stop control lever rmly, grasp recoil
starter handle and pull rope out with a rapid, continuous, full arm
stroke. Keeping a rm grip on the starter handle, let the rope
rewind slowly.
3. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has become
difcult to pull. Let the recoil return to the home position, then
pull quickly to start the engine. Repeat steps as needed. Fully
open the choke and set the throttle to the FAST position before
operating the unit.
