Place unit on a flat level surface. ALWAYS
stop engine. Assure unit is secure and will not
tip over. Strap and clamp onto bench if

A handlebar service position is provided for
tipping the unit for cleaning and service
(Figure 14). See Adjustments.

or unit, use the following service positions for
the brand and type of engine on your mower:
Robin Engines: place handlebar into service
position and tip machine to the rear.
Briggs & Stratton Intek Engines: place
handlebar into handlebar service position and
tip the machine to the left, opposite the
discharge opening.
IMPORTANT: If engine becomes “flooded”
due to tipping, clean air cleaner (See
Maintenance) and remove spark plug, turn
engine over a few times and reinstall spark
plug.
HANDLEBAR
To adjust handlebar height (Figure 15):
1. Place a hole (1-4) at the bottom of the
braces over the pins. On professional
models, use the fasteners to attach one
of the holes at the top (1, 2) and one of
the holes at the bottom (3, 4).
2. For service position, remove braces
from pins, rotate handlebar forward and
place pins into holes of braces.
