BEFORE USING YOUR LAWN MOWER, AGAIN REFER TO THE "SAFETY RULES" AS SHOWN ON PAGE 2 OF
THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before
starting power tool operation or while performingany adjustments or repairs.We recom-
mend Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles or standard glasses available at Sears
Retail or Catalog Stores.
HOWTO USEYOURMOWER
TO STOP ENGINE
Release blade control handle to stop engine. Discon-
nect the spark plug wire and move it away from the
spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equip-
ment is unattended.
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL
The engine speed is controlled by a lever (red knob)
located on the left side of the engine.The "HI" position
is for starting engine, normal cutting and best perfor-
mance. The "LOW" position is for light cutting, trim-
ming and fuel economy.
BLADE CONTROL HANDLE
Your mower has a control handle which requires the
operator to be behind the handle to start and run the
mower. When the operator releases the control han-
dle, the engine will stop and an internal brake helps
the blade to stop quickly.
When the operator leaves the operating position to
change the cutting height, pick up sticks or other
objects in the way, the engine will stop automatically
when the controlhandle is released.
DRIVE CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
To engage the wheel drive, squeeze the drive clutch
control lever against the handle. Releasing the drive
clutch control lever stops the wheels from driving.
Release the drive clutch control lever to slow down
when negotiating an obstacle, making a turn or stop-
ping.
SHIFT LEVER
The six speed shift lever is located below the drive
clutch control lever. Position 1 is the slowest speed;
position 6 is the fastest. Release the drive clutchcon-
trol lever when changing speeds.
IMPORTANT: Move the shift lever ONLY when the
engine is running. Shifting the speeds with the
engine off can cause damage to the unit.
ADJUST cu'n'ING HEIGHT
The height adjuster levers for the wheels are located
on the left side of the deck. See figure 6. The levers
may be placed in one of nine cutting height positions.
Both levers should always be set to the same position.
•
Raise wheels for low Cut and lower wheels for high
cut.
• To change cutting height, move adjuster levers
toward wheels. Move wheels up or downto suit your
requirements. Be sure both levers are in the same
setting.
• Adjust cutting height to suit your requirements.
Refer to the =Mulching or Mowing Tips"on page 10.
(The height adjusters may seem hardto move when
new.They will operate easier after some use.)
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
OIL
A 27 ounce bottle of SAE 30 oil is included with your
new lawn mower.
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API ser-
vice classification SF, SG or SH. Select the oil's vis-
cosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature.
Colder
32 °
Warmer
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oil (5W30, 10W30,
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°F. Check your oil level more fre-
quently to avoid possible engine damage from running
low on oil.
