If these items cannot be obtained locally, order by part number and size as shown on parts list, f Part of Throttle Control Complete 310-10033. *Part of Blade Adapter Kit Complete 901-10769. FORM NO. 770-2870C ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS s? OPERATION NOTE: For shipping purposes your mower is set with the wheels in a low cutting height position. For best results, raise the cutting position until it is determined which height is best for your lawn. See Adjustments. 1. Service engine with gas and oil. See Engine Manual packed with lawn mower for complete instructions for the care maintenance of engine. READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. 2. When ready to start engine, place throttle control lever in “START” position and start engine in accordance with instructions in Engine Manual. After engine starts, move throttle control lever to desired engine speed. The engine is stopped by placing control lever in the “STOP” position. 3. Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. For best results and to insure more even grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet. 4. Check blade bolts for proper tightness. ADJUSTMENTS CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawn mower without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire. CUTTING HEIGHT - An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel position provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjusting plate has five holes. Height of cut will be changed when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to another. Simply depress thumb lever towards wheel and move wheel and lever assembly to desired position. Cutting height will be raised as lever is moved toward front and lowered as lever is moved toward rear. All wheels must be positioned in relative height of cut positions. THROTTLE — If adjustment becomes necessary, the throttle control wire assembly can be reset as follows: 1. Loosen, but do not remove, screw securing throttle control wire assembly at engine. 2. Move throttle control lever on handle to “FAST” postion. 3. Move lever, to which control wire is fastened at engine, to full open position and retighten screw to secure throttle control wire assembly. LUBRICATION IMPORTANT: Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work on lawn mower. WHEELS: Wheel bearings are of lifetime Fortiflex. They require no lubrication. THROTTLE: Periodically lubricate throttle control lever and throttle wire assembly with a few drops of light oil (S.A.E. No. 10 or 20) for ease of operation. ENGINE: Follow Engine Manual for lubrication instructions. MAINTENANCE CUTTING BLADE — The blade may easily be removed for grinding or replacement as follows: 1. Remove bolt and lock washer holding blade and hub assembly to engine crankshaft. 2. Remove blade and hub assembly from engine crankshaft. 3. Remove two bolts, lock washers and nuts holding blade to blade hub. When sharpening 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 unbalanced blade. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds and may cause damage to the mower. Upon reassembly, make certain all parts are assembled properly and tightened securely. DECK — The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each period of use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and other matter will accumulate. This accumulation of grass clippings, etc. is undersirable as it will invite corrosion and may cause an uneven discharge of grass clippings at the next cutting. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower forward or on its left side and scraping clean with a suitable tool or by washing with a stream of water from a garden hose. CAUTION: Do not direct the stream of water at a hot engine as damage to the engine may result. STORAGE — The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn mower for storage. 1. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the preceding instructions. 2. Refer to Engine Manual for correct engine storage instructions. 3. Coat mower’s blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting. 4. Place blocks under deck to raise tires clear of floor. 5. Store mower in a dry, clean area. USING YOUR MOWER For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to underside of the mower thus preventing proper discharge of grass clippings. If wet grass must be cut, reduce engine speed and walking speed to help distribute the clippings more effectively. New grass should be treated as wet grass, otherwise a normal walking speed is about the right pace for efficient mowing. . . 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 cutting high weeds, discharge towards cut portion, then recut at rig...
