Blade Control
The blade control is attached to the upper handle of
the mower. Depress and squeeze it against the upper
handle to engage the engine and blade. Release it to
stop engine and blade.
WARNING: This blade control mechanism is
a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its
operations.
Drive Control
The drive control is located on the underside of the
upper handle and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze
it against the upper handle to engage the drive; release
it to slow down or stop mower from propelling.
Mulch Plug
Instead of collecting the grass clippings in the grass
catcher, your mower has the option of recirculating the
clippings back to the lawn. Remove grass catcher (if
applicable) and operate with the mulch plug only for this
purpose.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
One adjustment lever is located at each wheel and is
used to adjust the cutting height. All four wheels must
be moved to the same height to ensure a uniform cut.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle.
Stand behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to
start the unit.
Choke Control
The choke control is located on the left side of the handle
and when activated, closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
