Adjusting the Cutting Height
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.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. 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 all
rearward (Figure 14).
Figure 14
Note: The cutting height settings are 1 inch (25 mm);
1-1/2 inches (38 mm); 2 inches (51 mm); 2-1/2 inches
(64 mm); 3 inches (76 mm); 3-1/2 inches (89 mm); 4
inches (102 mm); and 4-1/2 inches (114 mm).
Starting the Engine
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless you
first install the mulch plug or the grass bag securely
on the mower.
1. Install the mulch plug (Figure 15) or the grass bag
(Figure 16) on the mower.
2. If the ignition switch on your mower (Figure 10)
is a toggle switch (with both an "I" and a "Stop"),
push the switch to the ("I") position. Otherwise, go
to step 3.
3. Pull the recoil starter until you feel resistance, then
pull it sharply (Figure 17 ).
