Engine Speed; Engine Zone Control; To Convert Mower - Husqvarna 7021P Operator's Manual

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 adjustments or repairs. We
recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed was set at the factory for optimum per-
formance. Speed is not adjustable.

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 un der
any cir cum stanc es 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 pres-
ence control bar which requires the operator to be
positioned behind the lawn mower handle to start and
operate the lawn mower.
TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 4)
Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels for high cut,
adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Me di um
position is best for most lawns.
• To change cutting height, squeeze adjuster lever to ward
wheel. Move wheel up or down to suit your re quire-
ments. Be sure all wheels are in the same setting.
NOTE: Adjuster is properly positioned when plate tab inserts

allow lever to be positioned between the plate tabs.
