3. Place the bulk of the extension cord on the lawn closest to
the starting point.
4. Before starting the lawn mower, hold the handle assembly
with both hands and tilt the handle downward to slightly
raise the front of the lawn mower. This will reduce the risk
of lawn damage during start-up (Fig. 11).
5. To start the lawn mower, press and hold the safety lock
button while pulling the switch bar lever toward you. Once
the machine powers on, release the safety lock button
(Fig. 12).
6. Let the motor get up to speed, gently lowering the lawn
mower down into the cutting position and start mowing
(Fig. 13).
7. To stop the lawn mower, release the switch bar lever
(Fig. 12).
Grass Collection Bag Volume Indicator
1. If the grass collection bag is empty or is not completely
full with grass, the grass indicator flap will remain open
(due to the flow of air) or will flutter open and close as the
grass accumulates in the bag (Fig. 14).
2. When the grass bag reaches its maximum capacity,
the grass indicator flap will remain closed (due to the
restricted air flow). This signals that it is time to empty the
bag (Fig. 14).
