EXTENSION CORD TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FIGURE 6)
1. Place most of the extension cord close to the electrical outlet, out of the
path of the lawnmower. Attach extension cord to lawnmower.
2. Start in direction where extension cord side of lawnmower is closest to
the outlet. Begin mowing in the area closest to the outlet and mow in a
back and forth manner. Note the cord is kept on cut portion of lawn
and out of the path of the lawnmower. (Figure 6)
3. Avoid mowing in circles as cord will be harder to manage.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
WARNING: Rotating blade can cause serious injury.
Release switch
lever to turn lawnmower off, wait for the blade to stop
rotating (approx. 5 seconds) and unplug the lawnmower
whenever you leave the lawnmower, before removing and
replacing the grass catcher, or unclogging or cleaning the
lawnmower housing, when making any repairs or
inspections, and when lifting, transporting or storing the
lawnmower.
Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the lawnmower and
inside of guard before storage. Store under cover. See
MAINTENANCE
section.
NOTE:
Do not store the lawnmower on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
Such storage can cause rapid corrosion to metal parts.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you use the lawnmower in areas
where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the lawnmower should be
cleaned immediately afterwards. To reduce the risk of injury, before
cleaning the lawnmower always wear appropriate hand protection.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE LAWNMOWER IS UNPLUGGED AND BLADE HAS
STOPPED.
Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth.
Cleaning out the underside of the lawnmower is done easiest immediately
after mowing. Crumpled newspaper, rag or paper towels, can be used to
wipe out caked clippings.
A clean mowing deck improves the efficiency of the blade and maintains
high performance. When cleaning, DO NOT immerse lawnmower in
water or squirt it with a hose or pressure washer . Use only mild soap and
damp cloth to clean the lawnmower. Never let any liquid get inside the
lawnmower; never immerse any part of the lawnmower into a liquid.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
do not operate
lawnmower unless wheels are mounted in the same wheel
height position on deck.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the wheel spacer, is assembled between the
wheel and deck.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
A lawnmower is a major appliance and should not be operated
simultaneously with other major appliances on the same house
circuit.
WARNING: Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100
feet away.
Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, and other debris which might
be thrown by the rotating blades.
ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO LAWNMOWER (FIGURE 4)
DO NOT
connect the extension cord to power source until you have
finished reading this manual and you are ready to start mowing.
1. The extension cord must be polarized and will only plug in one way,
orient the wide slot with the wide blade in the switch housing.
2. Loop the extension cord and push the loop up through the hole in the
switch housing.
3. Pull the extension cord on the side of the loop that is plugged into the
switch housing and remove all the slack in this section of the extension
cord.
4. Place the loop over the strain relief tab on the switch housing and pull
the extension cord so the loop draws down around the strain relief tab
