craftsman lawn mower operating basics?




dncer228


ok so my fiance is in canada until Monday on a fishing trip and the grass in our backyard is as tall as my head (and i'm 5"1) lol!! my kids can't even play outside until I clean the yard up.

I want to surprise him and cut the grass myself. now i'm not an idiot so I know that I have to pull start it (gas mower).

it's a craftsman eagle one 6.5 mower. my dad taught me how to mow the grass when I was about 13 so I kind of know what I'm doing.

our mower doesn't have a bag on it so I won't have to worry about emptying it. it has a pull bar and an engine engage switch-what are these used for?

i'm assuming the pull bar is to lift the blades up when going over sidewalks,porches,etc. but not sure. and i'm pretty sure the engage switch is to put the mower into drive.

a little basic instruction would be greatly appreciated!!!
if we had the manual, i wouldn't have to ask the question (but thank you)

and the pull bar isn't loose



Answer
Read the manual.
The pull bar is a safety the mower will not run with it loose.

Answer
don't have exact answer you want but here are some facts

It has been calculated that the average American lawn receives four
times the volume of chemical applications as an average farm field.

25 percent of the air pollution in the state of California is generated by two-cycle engines, primarily lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and other lawn care machinery

Americans now devote about 40,000 square miles to lawns (more than we use for wheat, corn, or even tobacco)

America has 58 million lawn owners

Americans mow 31 million acres of lawn every year. It takes 300 million gallons of gas and 1 billion hours to complete the chore. And for this privilege they will spend $17.4 billion on everything from pesticides (70 million pounds) to lawn tractors.

turf is the largest irrigated crop in America and 5,000 new acres are planted daily.
