Adjust the clip director knob in any one of the ten positions to achieve
the desired mowing results.
To adjust the clip director knob, pull the knob downward and towards
the rear of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door from the fully

SLIDING DOOR
(fully closed)
If a high resistance is noticed when moving the clip director knob from
side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the sliding
door.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION
Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap before
lifting the discharge guard to view or clean around the sliding door.
This will prevent contact with the rotating blades and prevent objects
from being thrown into the discharge area.
