Assembling the Lawn Mower

WARNING!

Always take care when removing the packaging, to 

prevent damage to you or to the lawn mower.
This item requires a two-person lift to remove it from the 

packaging. Make sure that you have sufficient space to 

put the lawn mower down. Keep your feet apart so that 

you have a stable position; bend at the knees and keep 

your back straight.
Always recycle the packaging in accordance with local 

recycling regulations.

  Assembling the lower handle

  
1.  Remove the packaging from the handle. Set the height 

adjustment to the highest position, and align the lower 

handle with the holes in the deck. Make sure the holes in the 

lower handle are aligned with those in the support frame. 

NOTE:

 Ensure the rope guide is on the right side, when you 

stand behind the mower. 

2.  Fix the lower handle onto the deck firmly, using the handle 

fixing bolts and spanner (supplied).
