HW Owner’s Manual

OPERATION

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine.

Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this

equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.

PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING

Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately

and check for damaged or worn blade, loose blade jam nut, loose engine or lodged foreign objects.

Note: See maintenance section for proper blade jam nut torque specifications.

STARTING

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions for

type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must

be level when checking and filling oil and gasoline.

ENGINE SPEED: Set at factory. The engine runs at a

constant speed.

1. Select desired cutting height before starting engine.

2. Place mower on a sidewalk or driveway where the

mower blade is in an unloaded condition. If it must be

started on the lawn, move mower over previously cut

grass.

3. Be sure drive lever (Yellow lever on the right hand side)

is not engaged (fig. 1).

lever on the left hand side - fig. 1.1), then pull back on

starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: DO NOT make cutting height adjustment when engine is running.

Cutting height can be adjusted from 2" to 4" by 1/2" increments by lowering or raising

the deck. For easiest adjustment change the height from one side at a time. To change

cutting height, remove lock pins, raise or lower deck to desired height, and then reinsert

lock pins. Repeat this step on other side NOTE: Be sure that the deck is level. Running

the deck out of level will result in poor cut quality and increased belt wear.

spark plug wire.

Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug wire.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when operating the blade. Inspect the work area for foreign objects that could cause

damage to the unit or injure the operator if struck by the blade. Never operate the blade with bystanders in the work

area
