•
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
•
Set the cutting height on the front wheels a notch lower
than the rear wheels. For example, set the front wheels at
51 mm (2 inches) and the rear wheels at 64 mm (2-1/2
inches).
Cutting Leaves
•
After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows
through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more
than a single pass over the leaves.
•
For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same
cutting height setting.
•
If there are more than 12.7 cm (5 inches) of leaves on the
lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher
than the rear cutting height. This makes it easier to feed
the leaves under the machine deck.
•
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not
cut the leaves finely enough.

After Operation

After Operating Safety

General Safety
•
Clean grass and debris from the machine to help prevent
fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in
any enclosure.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where there is
an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.
Hauling Safety
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or truck.
•
Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into a
trailer or truck. Do not exceed a 15° angle between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps, chains, cable,
or ropes. Both front and rear straps should be directed
down and outward from the machine.

Cleaning under the Machine

For optimal cutting performance, keep the underside of the
machine clean. You may either wash or scape the clippings
away from under the machine.
Washing under the Machine
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Clean under the
machine housing.
1. Position the machine on a flat concrete or asphalt
surface near a garden hose.
2. Start the engine.
3. Hold the running garden hose at handle level and direct
the water to flow on the ground just in front of the
right rear tire (Figure
1. Right rear wheel
Note: The blades will draw in water and wash out
clippings. Let the water run until you no longer see
clippings being washed out from under the housing.
4. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
5. Turn off the water.
6. Start the machine and let it run for a few minutes to dry
out the moisture on the machine and its components.
Scraping under the Machine
If washing does not remove all debris from under the
machine, scrape it clean.
1. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
2. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank; refer to
the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the Filter (page
3. Tip the machine onto its side, with the air filter up in
the air, until the upper handle rests on the ground.
4. Remove the dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood
scraper; avoid burrs and sharp edges.
5. Turn the machine upright.
6. Fill the fuel tank.
7. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
