MOWER CONTROLS
The following information identifies and
describes the controls for all mower
models.
Operator Presence Control Bail
The Operator Presence Control Bail
(A, Figure 3-1) must be pulled back
against the handlebar and held there
while starting the engine and operating
the unit. Releasing the bail will shut off
the engine and stop the mower blade.
The engine will not restart unless the bail
is pulled back against the handlebar.
NOTE: This control disengages an engine
brake when pulled back against the
handlebar and engages the engine brake
when released. The mower blade is
bolted directly to the engine shaft,
therefore it stops when the engine stops.
The engine will not restart unless the bail
is pulled back against the handlebar. See
Stopping the Engine and Mower Blade in
Section 4 for more information.
Wheel Drive Bail
The Wheel Drive Bail (C, Figure 3-1)
engages the powered rear wheels when it
is pulled up against the handlebar, and
disengages the wheels when released.
See Mowing and Turning the Mower in
Section 4 for more information.
To move the mower without engine
power, release the controls and push or
pull the mower.
NOTE: The pinion gears inside the rear
wheels may produce an occasional
knocking sound when pushing or pulling
the mower manually. This sound is
harmless. Do not lubricate the drive
wheels. Service the drive assembly only
as instructed in Section 5.
Wheel Speed Control
The Wheel Speed Control (B, Figure 3-1)
provides three different wheel speeds.
Selections are:
1 for low speed
•
2 for medium speed
•
3 for high speed
•
See Mowing in Section 4 for more infor-
mation.
Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
This control (K, Figure 3-1) provides eight
cutting heights, enabling you to choose
the most appropriate height for the lawn
condition. Cutting heights range from
3/4-inches to 4-1/4-inches. See Prepara-
tion for Mowing in Section 4 for more
information.
NOTE: Actual cutting height will vary
according to turf conditions..
Recoil Rope Start
The recoil rope start (D, Figure 3-1) is
used to pull-start the engine. See the
Engine Owner's Manual for starting infor-
mation specific to your engine. Also see
Starting the Engine in Section 4.
Adjustable Handlebar Height
The mower provides three handlebar
height settings (J, Figure 3-1). See Step
5: Adjust Handlebar Height in Section 2.
