Never attempt to operate the tawn mower withthe rear door removed or propped open. ENGINE SPEED (See Fig. 4) The engine speed is controlled by a lever (red knob) located on the side of the engine. "HIGH" (,1_)position is for starting the engine, normal cutting, and better grass bagging. "LOW" (_) position is for light cutting, trimming and fuel economy. ENGINE ZONE FIG, 4 CONTROL CAUTION: Federal regulations require an engine control to b8 instalted on this risk of blade contact injury. Do not unJawn mower in order to minimize the der any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of the operator control° The blade turns when the engine is running. Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator presence control bar which requires the operator to be positioned behind the lawn mower handle to start and operate the lawn mower. TO iNSTALL FORIVIED UP TABS _ ATTACHMENTS (See Figs. 5 & 6) Your lawn mower was shipped ready to be used as a mulcher, To insta!t attachments for bagging or discharging: o Rotate rear door latch clockwise to allow rear door to be opened. , Open rear door, remove mulcher plate and rotate Iatch counterclockwise to _ts original position, o You can now insta!! catcher or optional clipping deflector. , To return to mulching operation reverse the above steps.

Lift up rear door and remove the grass catcher by the handle. Do not drag the bag when emptying; unnecessary wear. DRIVE CONTROL it wilt cause (See Fig. 9) o Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pushing the drive control lever forward until it clicks; then release the lever. • Forward motion will stop when the operator presence control bar is released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the operator presence control bar slightly until the drive control disengages. Hold operator presence controt bar down to handle to continue mowing without self-propelling. To keep drive control engaged when turning corners, push down on handle and lift front wheels off ground while turning lawn mower. - TO ADJUST • • , CUTTING HEIGHT FiG. 8 OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLBAR (See Fig. 10) Raise wheels for tow cut and lower wheels for hig h cut. Wheets are set in low cut for shipping. Adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Medium position is best for most lawns. To change cutting height, squeeze adjuster lever toward wheel. Move wheel up or down to suit your requirements. Be sure at! wheels are in the same setting. LOWER WHEELS FOR HiGH CUT RAtS E WHEELS FOR LOW CUT F_G.

Use 20 ozs. of SAE 30 oil. SAE 10W30 oil can atso be used. All oil must meet API service classification SG. DO NOT use SAE 10W 40 oil. POUR OIL SLOWLY. DO NOT OVERFILL. Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to FULL line on dipstick. To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap each time. Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten. After the first two (2) hours of mowing, change the oil, and every 25 hours thereafter. You may need to change the oil more often under dusty, dirty conditions. PRIMER GASOLINE FILLER CAP FEG. 11 TO START ENGINE " To start a cold engine, push primer three (3) times beforetrying to start. Use afirm push_ This step is not usually necessary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes. , Push engine speed control lever to HIGH (,_) tion. . Hold operator presence control bar down to the handle and pull starter handle quickly. DO NOT allow starter rope to snap back. To "STOP" engine, release operator presence control bar. GAS (See Fig. 11) , AIR CLEANER Fitl gasoline tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE PREMIUM GASOLINE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL TANK. WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (ca!led gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which Ieads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. = posi- NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming Steps. tn warmer weather over priming may cause flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT repeat priming steps. t0 OPE 0 MOWRNG TiPS , Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. o For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut and raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one (1) wheel adjuster setting higher than the front for better discharge of grass. o For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions, the engine speed should be set in the '"HIGH" ('€_) (FAST) position. When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not enter the grass catcher. Reduce ground speed (pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time. o • , , FiG. 12 If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a clockwise direction with a small overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass. Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life. Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catchers off with water and let dry before using. MULCHING MOWING • Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun. o For best resuI[s, adjust the lawn mower cutting height so that the lawn mover cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades (See Fig. t2). If the Iawn is overgrown itwi!l be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut, mow slowly and raise the rear of the lawn mower one wheel adjuster setting higher than the front. Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path. TIPS tMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE. SEE "CLEANING" IN MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. , o The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass wilt biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this wilt provide the best recutting action of the blades. , 11 Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.

To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or walt. Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed. Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail, tf blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position, If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced. 13 CATCHER The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must be dry when used. Check your grass catcher often for damage or deterio_ ration. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher needs replacing, replace only with a manufacturer approved replacement catcher from Sears. Give the lawn mower model number when ordering. MAINTENANCE ENGINE LUBRICATION Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the lawn mower is not used for 25 hours in one year. Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE 30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil plug securely each time you check the oil level. ONTAtNER TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig, 14) . • . o . Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a ciean surface.
