HW Owner’s Manual

PROPULSION

This unit is self-propelled, and is controlled by a lever control. To

engage the wheel drive, pull up and squeeze it against operator's

handle. The drive is disengaged by releasing this lever.(See Fig. 3 &

3.1)

GROUND SPEED can be varied by selecting a higher or lower gear using

the gearshift lever on top of the handle (See Fig. 4). Under most conditions

cutting should be done in first or second gear. Third gear should be reserved

for conditions where weeds and brush are thinned out or not as tall. The

quality of the cut produced is directly related to the unit's ground speed

during cutting. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory (i.e. material left

standing) you should shift into a lower gear during cutting. For improved

control in confined areas, this machine can be pushed forward or backward

by releasing the drive lever located at the right side of the handle.

HILLSIDE MOWING

WARNING! Never mow on any slope greater than 15 degrees. Always

mow across the face of slopes; never up and down or diagonally see fig 5).

DO NOT attempt sudden starts or stop when mowing on a slope. Avoid

sudden turns and use extreme caution when changing direction on a slope.

STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in

tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace,

water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and

fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible

malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from

open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the

formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank

or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

CAUTION: Wheels must be chocked or blocked when unit is parked on a slope.
