ARNING:
This blade control
is a safety device.
Never attempt
to bypass its operations.
The mulch plug is used for mulching
purposes.
Instead of
collecting
the grass clippings
in a grass catcher or using the
side discharge
chute, some mower models
have the option
of recirculating
the clippings
back to the lawn. This is called
mulching.
SideDischarge Chute
DriveControl
The drive control
is located
on the underside
of the upper handle
and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze it against the upper
handle to engage the drive; release it to slow down or stop
mower from propelling.
Cutting Height AdjustmentLevers
One adjustment
lever is located
on each wheel and is used to
adjust the cutting
height. All four levers have to be at the same
relative
position
to ensure a uniform
cut.
Your mower
is shipped
as a mulcher. To discharge
the grass
clippings
to the side instead, follow
the instructions
in the
Assembly
& Set-Up section
to attach the side discharge
chute.

chute area on cutting
deck. Refer to warning
label
on the unit.
