OPERATION
TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 9)
Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels for high cut,
adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Me di um
position is best for most lawns.

move wheel up or down to suit your re quire ments and
release adjuster lever. Be sure all wheels are in the
same setting.
NOTE: Adjuster is properly positioned when lever inserts

DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 8)
Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”,
resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on
the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive
cable. Pro ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug.
2. Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive
speed.
3. Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as re-
quired.
4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps (for-
ward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn
and should be re placed.
DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 7)
• Self-propelling is controlled by pulling either drive control
lever rearward to the handle. The further toward the
handle a lever is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.
• To stop forward motion without stop ping blade, re lease
a drive control lever.
NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will
not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to
disengage drive wheels.
