4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Clip Direction
Clip Director Knob Adjustment
Adjust the clip director knob [1] in any one of the ten positions to achieve the
desired mowing results.
To adjust the clip director knob, pull the knob downward and towards the rear
of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door [2] from the fully open BAG
position to the fully closed MULCH position (see the following page).
If a high resistance is noticed when moving the clip director knob from side-to-
side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the sliding door.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION
Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap before lifting the
discharge guard to view or clean around the sliding door. This will prevent
contact with the rotating blades and prevent objects from being thrown into
the discharge area.
