of the mower. See Figure 9. The blade control handle

the blade control handle to stop the engine and blade.

The mulching plug is used to close the side discharge
chute opening when mulching or bagging grass. Do
not remove the hinged mulching plug at any time, even
when you are not mulching.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
(If so equipped)
One adjustment lever is located on each wheel and is
used to adjust the cutting height. All four levers have to
be at the same relative position to ensure uniform cut.
Before Starting

in the separate engine manual.
2. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. If unit is
equipped with a rubber boot over the end of the spark
plug wire, make certain the metal loop on the end of
the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened
securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.
