[. . . ] Move the brackets the amount up or down you wish the bag assembly to move. If necessary, repeat the procedure until proper fit is attained. Make sure that the letter "A" on both the plug and handle are on the same side and that they can both be seen from the top when laying on the ground. The throttle control regulates the engine revs and thus the rotation speed of the blades. = Full speed = Idling speed When the pedal is pushed down the brake is applied and the motor is disengaged. There are four different positions for this lever: N = Neutral (no drive) S = Slow F = Fast R = Reverse The lever can be moved steplessly between S and F to ensure the required speed. Move the lever forward to connect the drive to the cutting unit, whereby the drive belt is tensioned and the blades begin to rotate. If the lever is moved backwards the drive will be disconnected and the rotation of the blades slowed down by the action of the brake shoes on the pulley. Quick lifting/lowering of the cutting unit Pull the lever backwards to quickly lift the cutting unit when passing over irregularities in the lawn, etc. During transportation the cutting unit shall be in the highest position. to lower the unit: Pull the lever backwards (1). Press down the clutch/brake pedal completely and hold down. Pull out the choke control (if engine is cold). Turn the ignition key to "START position". Do not run the start motor more than 5 seconds at once. If the engine will not start, wait about 10 seconds before the next try. Let the ignition key return to the "ON" position when the engine has started and push in the choke control as soon as the engine is running smoothly. Start engine and move throttle control to slow position. Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds. move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Stop tractor by turning ignition key to "OFF" position. [. . . ] Engage the parking brake and work off the belt upwards from the pulley (2), the clutch pulley (3). Push the belt up between two fan blades and rotate the fan clockwise until the belt comes loose (4). Take off the belt from the engine pulley. The motion control lever has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. [. . . ]
