Blade Control Handle
WARNING: This control mechanism is a
safety device. Never attempt to bypass its
operations.
The blade control handle is located on the upper handle
of the mower and must be depressed in order to
operate the unit. Release it to stop engine and blade.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter handle is attached to the handle and
is used to start the engine.
Grass Catcher
The grass catcher, located at the rear of the mower, is
used to bag the grass clippings for disposal at another
site. Once the bag is full, it has to be removed from the
mower and emptied before any further mowing.

This lever, located at each wheel, lets you adjust
cutting height of the grass. Remember to put all four
levers at the same height to avoid uneven cut.
