The operation of any lawn mower can result in
foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear
safety glasses or eye shields while operating
your lawn mower or performing any adjust-
ments or repairs. We recommend a wide
vision safety mask over the spectacles or
standard safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL
The engine speed is controlled by a lever
located on the side of the engine. Fast
position is for starting the engine, normal
cutting, and better grass bagging. Slow
position is for light cutting, trimming and fuel
economy.
ENGINE ZONE CONTROL
CAUTION: Federal regulations require an
engine control to be installed on this lawn
mower in order to minimize the risk of
blade contact injury. Do not under 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.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
OIL
Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the
engine.
• Be sure mower is level and area around oil
fill isclean.
• Remove engine oil capw/dipstickand fillto
the full lineon the dipstick.
• Use 20 ozs. of oil. For type and grade of oil
to use, see "ENGINE" in Customer
Responsibilities section ofthis manual.
• Pour oil slowly. Do notover fill.
• Check oillevel before each use. Add oil if
needed. Fill to fulllineon dipstick.
• To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap
each time.
• Reinstall engine oilcap and tighten.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may need
to change the oil more often under dusty,
dirty conditions.
GAS
• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
WARNING; Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads 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 of 30 days or
longer. Drain the fuel tank, start the engine
and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carbure-
tor cleaner products in fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary
to repeat priming steps. In 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.
MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall
grass; it may be necessary to raise the
heightof cut to reduce pushing effort and to
keep from overloading the engine and
leaving clumps of grass clippings.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width Ofcut and raise the rear of the lawn
mower housing one (1) wheel adjuster
setting higher than the front for better
discharge of grass.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting
conditions, the engine speed should be set
in the fast position.
° When using a rear discharge lawn mower in
moist_heavy grass, clumps of cut grass
may not enterthe grass catcher. Reduce
ground speed (pushing speed) and/or run
the lawn mower over the area a second
time.
• 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 enginearound 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 dustwith use and
catchers will collect less grass. To prevent
this, regularly hose catchers off with water
and let dry before using.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-up grass and trash.
Clean UNDERSIDE OF MOWER HOUSING
after each use. See "Cleaning" in CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITIES section of this manual.
•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 will
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for
the lawn. Always mulch with your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
• 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.
°For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts
off only the top one-third of the grass blades.
tfthe lawn is overgrown it will be necessary
to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving dumps 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.
°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.

FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT: it isimportant to prevent bum
deposits from forminginessential juel system
partssuch as carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose,
or tank duringstorabe.Also,experience
indicatesthat alcoiol blindedfuels (called

gum deposits duringstorage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline infuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mixratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
