STOP SWITCH: Located on the engine. "ON" position.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

This unit requires two people to lift it. With the handle in the folded position, lift holding the lower handle and

belt/shaft guard one on each side of the machine. Secure the machine in place during transport. See page 3 for
weight specifications

Never lift the machine while the engine is running.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

The depth of the blades can be raised or lowered by rotating the knob on the
top of the adjustment lever. The blades are lowered by rotating the knob
clockwise, and raised by rotating the knob counter-clockwise. The relative
depth of the blades can be gauged by using the depth scale located on the
right front corner of the engine base. With new blades installed the depth can
be estimated as follows: 2.5 on the scale is even with the ground, 3 is equal
to 0.25" deep, and 3.5 is equal to 0.5" deep

FOLDING HANDLE

This unit is equipped with a folding upper handle for easier storage and transportation. The handle can be folded by
sliding the handle lock loops (item 28) up. This releases the upper handle, allowing it to be folded over the unit.

BLADE POSITION & DEPTH CONTROL LEVER

The blades can be raised or lowered into the ground by height adjustment lever
on the engine base. The height adjuster lock lever must be pushed back against
the adjustment lever in order to lower the blades into the ground. The resulting
blade depth can be adjusted higher or lower.
See ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH.
