• Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn mower or
engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal
injury to the operator and others.
• For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the mower, preventing
proper discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass, thick grass or wet grass
may require a narrower cut. Blade speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn.
• The best mowing pattern is one that allows the clippings to discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn. This
permits recutting of the clippings to further pulverize them. When cutting high weeds, discharge towards cut
portion, then recut at right angles to first direction.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. Lawn should be trimmed in
fall as long as there is growth.
• This mower is designed to run at full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most effective job of bagging
the cut grass.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the
mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should
be promptly inspected and repaired.
Height Adjustment
Refer to height adjustments section of this manual on page 13 for instruction on how to adjust the cutting height and
the handle height.
• For best results in mowing, keep the cutting height position high until it is determined which height is best for
your lawn.
SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any
maintenance or adjustments.
