Lower Bail Handle
The lower bail handle is located on the upper handle
and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze the bail
handle against the upper handle to engage the drive;
release it to slow down or stop the mower from
propelling.
Throttle Control
The engine is equipped with a constant speed throttle
which Is set at full throttle for maximum engine and
cutting performance.
Crass Bag/Bag-Fill Indicator
The grass bag is equipped with a bag-fill indicator to
add convenience to your work. While the mower is
running, air will flow through the bag and Into the “sail."
If the grass catcher is empty, air flows through easily
pushing the sail up. If the grass catcher is full, air does
not flow through It allowing the sail to fall. So the
position of the sail acts as a bag-fill indicator signifying
when to empty the grass bag.
