USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other ob
jects which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such ob
jects could be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick
to the underside of the mower, preventing proper discharge
of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall. New
grass or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
The best mowing pattern is one that allows the clippings to
discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn. This permits
recutting of the clippings to further pulverize them. When cut
ting high weeds, discharge towards cut portion, then recut
at right angies to first direction.
For best results, cut off one-third or less of the total length
of the grass. Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there
is grovrth.
This mower is designed to be operated at full throttle to give
you the best cut and do the most effective job of bagging the
cut grass.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the
engine. Remove wire from spark plug,
A
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage,
and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the
mower during operation is an indication of
damage. The unit should be promptly inspected
and repaired.
THROmE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
If the throttle control requires adjustment or has been re
placed, adjust the throttle control as follows.
1. Loosen (do not remove) the screw on the cable clamp
so that the cable will move freely under the clamp. See
figure 8.
2. Place the throttle control lever on the handle all the way
forward to START position.
3. Place the control lever on the engine in the full open posi
tion by pushing it as far toward the outside of the engine
as it will go. Tighten the screw on the cable clamp to
secure the cable in this position.

MAINTENANCE
When sharpening the blade, follow the original angle of grind
as a guide. It is extremely important that each cutting edge
receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbal
anced blade. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibra
tion when rotating at high speeds, may cause damage to the
mower and could break, causing personal injury.
It is recommended that the blade always be removed from
the adapter for the best test of balance.
The blade can be tested by balancing it on a round shaft
screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it
balances evenly.
Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to the
unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface
of the blade adapter with light oil. Lubricating the bolt holes,
bolts and inner surface of the nuts with light oil is also recom
mended. A 4 oz. plastic bottle of light oil lubricant is available.
Order part number 737-0170. Engine oil may also be used.
When replacing the blade, be sure to install the blade with
the side of the blade marked “Bottom” (or with part number)
facing the ground when the mower is in the operating position.

To insure safe operation of your unit, all nuts and bolts must
be checked periodically for correct tightness.
DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after
each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt
or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will
invite rust and corrosion, and may cause an uneven discharge
of grass clippings at the next cutting.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping
clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire
is disconnected).
