Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or
service with engine and blade running. STOP
engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and
secure away from spark plug. Engine and
components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow
sufficient time for all components to cool. Wear
heavy leather gloves when handling or working
around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp
and can cause severe injury.
2.6 RECYCLING OPERATION - OPTIONAL
ACCESSORY
Recycling operation requires optional accessory.
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum
of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when
grass is dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position
(Notch 6).
2. Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit)
position.
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed
setting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than
the front wheel latches to improve recycling
performance.
