SECTION 3:   ASSEMBLING YOUR LAWN MOWER

IMPORTANT:

 This unit is shipped without gasoline or oil 

in the engine. Be certain to service engine with gasoline 
and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual 
before operating your mower.

NOTE: 

Reference to right or left hand side of the mower

is observed from the operating position.

Removing Unit From Carton

Remove staples, break glue on top flaps, or cut 
tape at carton end and peel along top flap to open 
carton.

Remove loose parts if included with unit (i.e., 
operator’s manual, etc.)

Carefully cut along corners, lay carton down flat, 
and remove packing material.

Roll or slide unit out of carton and check carton 
thoroughly for loose parts.

Disconnecting Spark Plug Wire

Before setting up your lawn mower, disconnect the 
spark plug wire from the spark plug. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

Setting Up Your Lawn Mower

Lift up and pull back on the upper handle to raise 
the handle into the operating position. Make certain 
the lower handle is seated securely into the handle 
bracket assemblies. To secure the upper and lower 
handle, tighten the wing nuts near the top of lower 
handle (carriage bolts must be seated properly into 
the handle).

Tighten the wing nuts at the end of the lower handle 
to secure the handle to handle bracket assemblies. 
See Figure 2.

NOTE: 

Your mower is shipped with the handle in the

higher position. If you wish to lower the height of the
handle, refer to the Adjustment Section.

Figure 2

Fasten the cables to the lower handle with the 
cable tie found on the lower handle. Pull the cable 
tie tight and trim off the excess. See Figure 3.

Figure 3

If not already, move rope guide to the first hole 
above the lower handle on right side. The wing nut 
loosens and secures the rope guide. See Figure 4

Figure 4

With the spark plug wire disconnected and 
grounded, hold the blade control handle against the 
upper handle, and pull the starter rope out of the 
engine. Release the blade control handle. Slip the 
starter rope into the rope guide. Tighten the wing 
nut.
