You can use the mower either as a mulching mower or as a side-
discharge mower. To use the mulching feature, insert  the mulch plug
as described below. Remove the mulch plug to side-discharge  grass
clippings.
Look behind the mower before and during reverse operation. Stop
the mower blades before operating in reverse.
uSinG The  mOWeR
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before changing
speeds. Refer to “Know your Mower” section for mower control  details.
The mulch plug is designed to keep the discharge  chute raised up
while mowing. When the plug is removed, the discharge chute  will
lower itself for side-discharge mowing.
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which
could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could  be accidently
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury
to the operator and others. For best results, do not cut wet grass  and
never cut off more than one-third of the total length  of the grass.
WARninG
Before installing or removing mulch plug, stop engine, wait for parts
to stop moving, and disconnect spark plug wire.

Once the engine is running, slowly squeeze the  drive control
against the upper handle to propel the unit. To activate  the cutting
blades, squeeze the blade control against the upper handle.
To change gears, release the drive control lever and move the
gear shift lever to the desired setting. When first  practicing with
the mower, put the lever in No. 1 position. Select forward speeds
according to mowing conditions and terrain. Use slower speeds
on rough terrain or when grass is heavy or thick. The  forward
speed can be increased on smooth terrain or if the grass  cover is
light. Allow the wheels to stop completely before shifting  from one
speed into another.
