OPERATION MOWING TiPS • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance . See " TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING " in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual . • The left hand side of mower should be used for trim - ming . • Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut . Have the cut area to the right of the machine . This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting . • When mowing large areas , start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs , fences , driveways , etc . After one or two rounds , mowntil in the opposite direction making left hand turns u finished ( See Fig . 12 ) , f ) f 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . _ . . . . . . . t J J ( J FIG . 12 • If grass is extremely tall , it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip - pings . Make first cut relatively high ; the second to the desired height . • Do not mow grass when it is wet . Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps . Allow grass to dry before mowing . • Always operate engine at full throttle when mow = ing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material . Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired . • When operating attachments , select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used , 13

S . inches 1 inch = 25.4 mm Engine Power Rating information The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE ( Society of Automotive Engi - neers ) code J11940 ( Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure ) , and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 ( Revision 2002 - 5 ) . 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 prod - ucts 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 . 37
