OPERATION TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD The cutting height range is approximately 1 " to 4 " . The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with ( See Fig . 7 ) the engine not running . These heights are approximate and The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the may vary depending upon soil conditions , height of grass forward and reverse drive pedals . and types of grass being mowed . * Start tractor and release parking brake . * The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2 - 1 / 2 * Slowly depress forward ( K ) or reverse ( L ) drive pedal to inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches begin movement . Ground speed increases the further during hot months . For healthier and better looking down the pedal is depressed , lawns , mow often and after moderate growth . * For best cutting performance , grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice . Make the first cut relatively high ; the second to desired height , TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS ( See Fig . 9 ) Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position . Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions , NOTE : Adjustgauge wheels with tractor onaflat level surface . * Adjust mower to desired cutting height ( See " TO AD - JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT " in this section of Fig . 7 manual ) , TO USE CRUISE CONTROL - J ( See Fig . 7 ) * With mower in desired height of cut position , gauge The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground .

Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by , among other things , ambient operating conditions and engine - to - engine variability . Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment , the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment ( actual " on - site " or net horsepower ) . This difference is due to a variety of factors including , but not limited to , accessories ( air cleaner , exhaust , charging , cooling , carburetor , fuel pump , etc . ) , application limitations , ambient operating conditions ( temperature , humid - ity , altitude ) , and engine - to - engine variability . Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations , Briggs & Stratton may sub - stitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine . 35
