ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To raise the mower:
Make sure the cylinder valve is closed by turning the
valve clockwise.
If yes, proceed to insert the handle into the cylinder
handle opening.
Proceed to pump the handle up and down to raise the
lift to the desired height. The cylinder will use pump-
ing action of the handle to raise the lift.
The automatic locking mechanism will engage at
three different lift heights.
The 3 locking positions are: 18" , 21", 26"
As you pump the handle to raise the lift you will
hear a click sound at each of the locking positions
indicating the locking bar is fully secured.
