PREPARATION
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
The mower was fully assembled at the factory. When the mower
was put in the carton, the handle was put in a folded position (see
Figure 1). To put the handle in the operating position, follow the
steps below.
Handle
1. Remove the packing material from the carton.
2. Remove the side discharge attachment, the oil, and the fuel
stabilizer from the carton. Put the fuel stabilizer in a safe
place until needed for storage.
3. Cut down all four corners of the carton.
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 dam-
aged cable.
4. Raise the upper handle and the lower handle to the operat-
ing position (see Figure 2). Tighten the knobs that secure
the upper handle to the lower handle.

mounting holes will raise the height of the handle approxi-
mately four inches. Determine the desired height and mount
the adjuster arms to the lower handle (see Figure 3).
6. Tighten the knobs that secure the lower handle to the han-
dle brackets.
