Mower Operation - California Trimmer RL2510 Operator's Manual

Operating Controls
4. Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls the engine speed – as well as
the blade and drive roller speed.
Pivot the lever right to increase, to the left to decrease
On some units, the throttle also controls the engine stop
switch as indicated previously.
5. Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height is determined by the position of the
adjustment handle and the front caster axle.
The front caster wheel axle comes standard in the lower
position. It can be removed and placed in the upper
position to achieve additional settings and lower cutting
heights (as shown below)

REEL MOWER OPERATOR'S MANUAL
The height is changed by moving the adjustment handle
into the positions of the bracket.
Note: Positions 7-8 are
not accessible in the unit's present configuration.
Actual cutting height is affected by many factors
including ground hardness and grass conditions.
1. Clothing and Safety Accessories
Always wear safety glasses and appropriate clothing
when operating mower.
2. Starting
The clutch must be disengaged before starting the
engine.
Start the engine carefully and always from behind the
mower. Keep hands and feet well away from blade. If
mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check for the cause. Vibration is generally a
sign of trouble.
.
3. Engaging Clutch
Move the clutch lever forward, starting the reel and roller
rotation. Note: The reel blade has been adjusted at
the factory and there is slight contact with bed-knife.
Moisture in the grass provides lubrication for the
reel blade. Always disengage the clutch (handle) to
stop the reel blade if not cutting grass for an
extended period of time.
4. Mowing
Move the drive roller lift lever forward to lower the roller
and make contact with the ground. Gently pushing the
mower while lowering the roller provides a smooth take
off and helps eliminate any roller marks on grass.
Avoid loss of control or tipping on slopes and sharp
corners by reducing speed. Stop the blade when
crossing gravel drive, walkways or roads.
