1. Self-propel drive bar
Note: The maximum self-propel drive speed is
fixed. To reduce the speed, increase the space
between the self-propel drive bar and the handle.
2. To disengage the self-propel drive, release the
self-propel drive bar.
Note: The mower comes with freewheeling
clutches which make it easier to pull the mower
rearward. To disengage the clutches, you may need
to push the mower forward one inch (2.5 cm) or
more after you release the self-propel drive bar.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

Cutting heights are from 1 inch (25 mm) to 4-1/2
inches (114 mm) in 1/2-inch (13 mm) increments.
WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
Adjust the cutting height as desired (Figure 24). Set all
four wheels to the same height.

Note: To raise the mower, move all 4 cutting height
levers forward; to lower the mower, move them
rearward.

Recycling the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle
the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to
Removing the Grass Bag) before recycling the clippings.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless you
first install the recycle plug securely on the mower
(Figure 25).
Install the recycle plug as illustrated in Figure 25.
