Preparation

WARNING: Before doing any assembly or
maintenance to the mower, remove the wire
from the spark plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right describe the
location of a part with the operator standing behind the

handle.

Unpacking

The mower was fully assembled at the factory. When the
mower was put in the carton, the handle was put in the
storage position. To put the handle in the operating position,
follow the steps below.
Handle
1. Remove the mower from the carton.
2. Remove all packing material from the mower and the
handle.
3. Turn the knobs (A, Figure 1) on either side of the lower
handle (B) to retract the locking pins. Raise the lower
handle, aligning it with one of the three sets of holes in
the handle brackets (C). Turn the knobs to release the
locking pins and secure the lower handle.
4. Put the upper handle (A, Figure 2) in the operating
(upright) position. Tighten the wingnuts (B).
NOTE: The height of the handle can be set for operator
comfort. See "Handle Height".
CAUTION: Be careful when you fold or raise the handle. Do
not damage the cables. A cable that is bent will not work
correctly. Before you use the unit, replace a bent or damaged
cable.
5. Hold the engine stop lever against the handle. (Refer to
section entitled 'Engine Stop Lever'.) Slowly pull the
recoil-start grip (A, Figure 3). To attach the recoil-start
grip to the rope guide (B), twist the rope through the
rope guide mounted on the right side of the handle.
