Cutting HeightAdjustmentLevers

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.

MulchPlug

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.

The grass catcher, located at the rear of the mower, is used to bag

the grass clippings for disposal at another site. Once the bag is

full, it has to be removed from the mower and emptied before

any further mowing.

SideDischargeChute

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.

_lb ARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the

chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label

on the unit.

RecoilStarter

The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand

behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
