[. . . ] IMPORTANT: The following pictorials are located on your unit or on literature supplied with the product. Before you operate the unit, learn and understand the purpose for each pictorial. Briggs & Stratton Corporation will repair or replace, free of charge, any part(s) of the product that is defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on product submitted for repair or replacement under this warranty must be borne by purchaser. [. . . ] Remove your foot from the clutch/brake pedal (2) and then release the parking brake lever (6). To release the parking brake (6), completely push the clutch/brake pedal (2) forward. WARNING: Before you leave the operator's position, move the shift lever to the neutral (N) position. Use the throttle control (7) to increase or decrease the speed of the engine. For normal operation and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and for a cooler running engine, operate the engine in the FAST position. Before you start the engine, make sure the blade rotation control (1) is in the DISENGAGE position. NOTE: If the engine stops when you engage the blade(s), the seat switch or the grass bag switch is not activated. Before you leave the operator's position, make sure the blade(s) has stopped rotating. Before you ride the unit across a sidewalk or a road, move the blade rotation control (1) to the DISENGAGE position. To change the cutting height, raise or lower the lift lever (5) as follows. Move the lift lever (5) forward to lower the mower housing and back to raise the mower housing. When you ride on a sidewalk or road, move the lift lever (5) to the highest position and move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position. WARNING: Do not ride up or down slopes that are too steep to back straight up. Before you ride up or down a hill, move the shift lever to the slowest speed. If you must stop, quickly push the clutch/ brake pedal forward and set the parking brake. If you must stop or start on a hill, always have enough space for the unit to roll when you release the brake and engage the clutch. When on a slope or in a turn on a hill, move the throttle control to the SLOW position to help prevent an accident. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the dipstick. If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease the load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in the highest position and then lower the mower housing for the second cut. Operate the engine with the throttle in FAST position and the shift lever in first or second gear. [. . . ] A correct replacement part or assistance is available from an authorized service center in your area. CAUTION: If the unit is operated in dry areas that have sand, use a dry graphite spray to lubricate the unit. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0, 97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tires 0, 69 BAR (10 PSI). [. . . ]
