ENGLISH
Sliding Door Position
The sliding door [2] can be positioned to produce different mowing
results. If the preferred sliding door position is unknown, install a
grass catcher and begin mowing with the Clip Director knob [1] all the
way to the BAG position. Check the appearance of the lawn. As the
knob is moved towards the MULCH position, more grass will be
recycled back into the lawn. Adjust the Clip Director knob until the
desired result is achieved.
Rear Discharge
To discharge clippings to the
rear, remove the grass catcher
and position the Clip Director
knob [1] in the BAG range.
Maximum rear discharge
will occur when the Clip
Director knob is all the way
to the left (BAG) position.
As the Clip Director knob is
moved toward the right
(MULCH) position, less
grass will be discharged
though the rear
cutting-means enclosure.
OPERATION
MOWING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the mower for the first time, please review
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (
and
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (

Even if you have operated other mowers, take the time to become
familiar with how this mower works, and practice in a safe area until
you build up your skills.
For your safety, do not start or operate the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
