Mulching Plug

To mulch the grass clippings rather than bag them, install the

mulching plug.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Raise the discharge guard.

3. Remove the grass bag.

4. Insert the mulching plug into the discharge chute at the back of the

mower.

Make sure the tab at the bottom rear of the mulching plug fits

snugly into the slot at the back of the discharge chute.

Cutting Height Adjustment

To adjust the cutting height, pull each adjustment lever toward the

wheel and move the lever into another notch. Move all four

adjustment levers to the same height setting.

To set the mower to its maximum height, move the two rear wheel

adjusters all the way to the back, and move the front wheel adjusters

all the way to the front.

To set the mower to its lowest height, move the two rear wheel

adjusters all the way to the front, and move the front wheel adjusters

all the way to the back.

If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high

setting and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small

area. Readjust the cutting height if necessary.

OPERATION

MOWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review LAWN

MOWER SAFETY (page 2). Even if you have operated other mowers,

take time to become familiar with how this mower works and practice

in a safe area until you build up your skills. For your safety, avoid

starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a

garage. Your mower’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide

gas, which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or

death.

STARTING THE ENGINE

The blade turns when you operate the starter. It is easiest to start the

engine in a clear or mowed area where the blade can turn freely.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON

position.

2. Move the throttle lever to the

proper starting position.

COLD ENGINE:

Move the throttle lever to the

CHOKE position.

WARM ENGINE:

Move the throttle lever to the

FAST position.

3. Push forward on the blade

control lever and hold it

against the handlebar.

This lever is connected to the

engine flywheel brake and the

engine switch. The engine will

not start or run unless the

blade control lever is held

against the handlebar.

4. Pull the starter grip lightly until

you feel resistance, then pull

briskly. Return the starter grip

gently.

Keep your hands and feet

away from the mower deck at

all times when starting and

running the engine.

Continue to hold the blade

control lever against the

handlebar; the engine will stop if you release the lever.
