SECTION 4:  KNOW YOUR LAWN MOWER

Read this owner’s manual and safety rules before 
operating your lawn mower. Compare the illustrations 
in Figure 8  with your lawn mower to familiarize yourself 
with the location of various controls and adjustments. 
Save this manual for future reference. 

Figure 8

Starter Rope

The starter rope is attached to the handle. Stand behind 
the unit and pull the starter rope to start the unit.

Blade Control Handle

The blade control handle is located on the upper handle 
of the mower. The blade control handle must be 
depressed in order to operate the unit. Release the 
blade control handle to stop the engine and the blade. 

Lower Bail Handle

The lower bail handle is located on the upper handle 
and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze the lower bail 
handle against the upper handle to engage the drive; 
release it to slow down or stop the mower from 
propelling. 

Grasscatcher Bag

The grass bag is used for collecting grass clippings. 
Attach it to the mower for this purpose, but remove it 
when the intention is to mulch the grass. 

Mulching Plug

The mulching plug is used only for mulching purposes. 
Instead of collecting the grass clippings in a grass 
catcher, your mower has the option of recirculating the 
clippings back to the lawn.

 

Make sure that the rear 

discharge door is closed and the grass catcher is 
removed from the unit while mulching.

Cutting Height Adjustment Lever

These levers are located on each wheel and they are 
used to adjust the cutting height. All four levers have to 
be at the same relative position to ensure uniform cut. 

WARNING: 

The operation of any lawn 

mower can result in foreign objects being 
thrown into the operator’s eyes thus causing 
severe eye damage. 

Always wear safety 

glasses

 while operating the mower, or while 

performing any adjustments or repairs on it.

operations or alter it in any way.
