While holding the grass bag by both the rear handle
and the lower handle, lift the grass bag from the
adapter. The chute door will move the rope out of
the way of the bag.

Continue to hold the lower handle and raise the
rear of the grass bag up toward your chest. The
grass bag will open and the grass clippings will
disperse. See Figure 11.

When replacing the grass bag, be sure the top of
the bag rests on the wire support between the two
lower handles.

performing any adjustments or repairs. DO
NOT attempt any maintenance or service to the

Cutting Height
Your mower is shipped with the cutting height in the

choose a cutting height. Slide it into the new position.
See Figure 12.

NOTE:
For rough or uneven lawns, move the height
adjustment lever to the highest position. This will help
stop scalping.
Handle Height Adjustment
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher
height position. To lower the height, proceed as follows:
•
Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.
•
Remove upper handle by removing the hand knobs

way, being careful not to bed or kink the cables.

Remove the hairpin clips from the weld pins on the
handle brackets. Then remove carriage bolts and
wing nuts. Press out on the legs of the lower
handle. Remove lower handle from the mower.
•
Turn lower handle around so the notch on the
bottom of the lower handle is facing forward. See
Figure 13. Reassemble, placing the bottom holes in
the handle over the weld pins in the handle
mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 3. Replace wing
nuts and carriage bolts.
