Blade Control
The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower.
Depress and squeeze it against the upper handle to operate the
unit. Release it to stop engine and blade.
WARNING:
This blade control is a safety device.
Never attempt to bypass its operations.
Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
One adjustment lever is located on the right rear wheel and one
is located on the right front wheel. Both levers have to be at the
same relative position to ensure a uniform cut. To adjust the
cutting height, refer to the “Assembly & Set-Up” Section.
NOTE: On select models, the front height adjuster is located
above the front left wheel.
Grass Catcher (If Equipped)
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, remove it up through the handles using the strap provided
and empty it before any further mowing.
Mulch Plug (If Equipped)
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.
Side Discharge Chute (If Equipped)
Your mower may be 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.
WARNING:
Keep hands and feet away from the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
Deck Wash (If Equipped)
Your mower’s deck may be equipped with a water port on its
surface as part of its deck wash system. Use the deck wash to
rinse grass clippings from the deck’s underside.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand
behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
