10.2 Stop engine
▪ Release the drive lever (3).
▪ Release the brake lever (2).
WARNING! The blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the
engine has stopped. Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to be
left unattended.
10.3 Self-propelling function (Fig. 10)
▪ Push the drive lever (3) forward and hold it against the push handle (1) to propel the
mower forward.
▪ Release the drive lever (3) to stop the mower’s forward movement.
▪ Always release the drive lever before starting the engine. If the clutch is engaged, the
mower will move forward.
▪ Operate the drive lever with a quick and complete motion, so the clutch is either fully
engaged or fully released. Hold the drive lever against the push handle (1) during self-
propelled mowing. This will help to extend the service life of the clutch mechanism.
WARNING: The lawn mower immediately starts moving. To stop the
movement, release the brake lever (2). The lawn mower will then stop
immediately.
10.4 Height adjustment instructions (Fig. 11)
Caution: before changing mowing height, stop mower and disconnect spark
plug cable.
Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 6 height positions.
▪ Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing mower cutting height.
▪ To change the height of cut, squeeze adjuster lever toward the wheel, moving up or down
to selected height.
▪ All wheels will be in the same height of cut.
Medium position is best for most lawns.
10.5 Mowing tips
▪ Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the cutting
height to reduce resistance (prevent overload of the engine) and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
▪ For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut paths
and mow slowly.
▪ The pores in the cloth grass catcher can become blocked with dirt and dust and will collect
less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose down the grass catcher and let dry before re
using.
▪ Keep the top of the engine (around the starter) clear and clean of grass clippings and
chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
