Cutting HeightAdjustmentLevers
One adjustment
lever is located
on each wheel and is used to
adjust the cutting
height. All four levers have to be at the same
relative
position
to ensure a uniform
cut.
MulchPlug
The mulch plug is used for mulching
purposes.
Instead of
collecting
the grass clippings
in a grass catcher or using the
side discharge
chute, some mower models
have the option
of recirculating
the clippings
back to the lawn. This is called
mulching.
The grass catcher, located
at the rear of the mower, is used to bag
the grass clippings
for disposal at another
site. Once the bag is
full, it has to be removed
from the mower and emptied
before
any further
mowing.
SideDischargeChute
Your mower
is shipped
as a mulcher. To discharge
the grass
clippings
to the side instead, follow
the instructions
in the
Assembly
& Set-Up section
to attach the side discharge
chute.

chute area on cutting
deck. Refer to warning
label
on the unit.

to the right upper handle. Stand
behind
the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
