6. OPERATION
MOWER OPERAUION
To mow, set the throttle lever in the
FAST ( 61) position, press the button
on top of the ROTO-STOP lever, then
move the ROTO-STOP lever forward
and hold it against the handlebar. The
blade will turn while the ROTO-STOP
lever is held forward.
NOTE: For best grass cutting and
bagging performance, and to avoid
stalling the engine, always mow with
the throttle lever in the FAST (@r )
position.
Release the ROTO-STOP lever to stop
the blade before reaching areas with
gravel, loose stones, or landscaping
material. Objects hit by the blade can
be thrown with great force
cause serious injury and property
damage. Stop the blade before
reaching any area with loose objects.
Operate the ROTO-STOP lever with a
quick and complete motion, so the
blade is always either fully engaged or
disengaged. This will help to prevent
stalling the engine, and it will also
extend the service life of the ROTO-
STOP mechanism.
rGi%Eq
If you move the RDID-
STOP lever slowly or partially, the blade
clutch/brake mechanism will wear out
prematurely.
