Controls and Features Drive Control Electric Start Ignition Switch Recoil Starter Side Discharge Chute 4 Blade Control Speed Control Cutting Height Adjustment Lever Deck Wash Cutting Height Adjustment Lever Blade Control Figure 4-1 Cutting Height Adjustment Lever The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower. Depress and squeeze it against the upper handle to operate the unit. Release it to stop engine and blade. WARNING: This blade control is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operations. One adjustment lever is located on the left rear wheel and one is located on the left front wheel. Both levers have to be at the same relative position to ensure a uniform cut. To adjust the cutting height, refer to the "Assembly & Set-Up" Section. Deck Wash Drive Control The drive control is located on the underside of the upper handle and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze it against the upper handle to engage the drive; release it to slow down or stop mower from propelling. Speed Control Your mower's deck is equipped with a water port on its surface as part of its deck wash system. Use the deck wash to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside. Side Discharge Chute Your mower is shipped as a mulcher. To discharge the grass clippings to the side instead, follow the instructions in the "Assembly & Set-Up" section to attach the side discharge chute. The speed control is located on the left side of the upper handle. This control is used to select the forward speed of the mower. See Figure 4-1 inset. IMPORTANT: Move the speed control only when the engine is running. Changing the speed control setting with the engine off can damage the mower. WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label on the unit. Electric Start Ignition Switch (If Equipped) The electric start ignition switch is located on the right side of the upper handle. It is used only for the electric starter. 13
