Grass Bag
A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.
You can leave the grass bag on the mower during mowing, even
when full mulching is selected.
Inspection
During use, the grass bag material is subject to normal wear and tear.

An excessively worn grass bag may allow objects to be thrown
toward the operator.
Replace a worn grass bag to prevent possible injury.
Grass bag replacement is explained on

Cutting Height Adjustment

Each wheel of the mower can be adjusted to one of six settings. The
actual height of cut grass will vary with lawn and soil conditions.
Be sure the engine is not running when adjusting the cutting height.
To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment lever toward the wheel,
and move it into another notch.
Move all four adjustment levers to the same position, forward for tall
grass and rearward for short grass.
THE CUTTING HEIGHT FIGURES ARE APPROXIMATE
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust the cutting height if necessary.

Check the Oil Level

1. Unscrew and remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the
dipstick without
screwing it into the
filler neck. Check the oil
level shown on the
dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, add
oil to reach the upper
limit mark on the dipstick.
Do not overfill. If the
engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get
transferred to the air
cleaner housing and air
filter. An indication of
overfilling is white or blue
smoke coming from the
muffler when the engine
is running.
Use 10W-30 API Service
category SJ oil for normal
conditions. For additional
oil recommendations,
see page 12.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
