Blade Control
Grass Catcher
The blade control is attached  to the upper handle of the mower.
Depress and squeeze it against the  upper handle to operate the
unit. Release it to stop engine and  blade.
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.
WARNING: This blade control is a safety  device.
Never attempt to bypass its operations.
Side Discharge Chute
Your mower is shipped as a mulcher. To discharge the grass
clippings to the side instead, follow the instructions  in the
Assembly & Set-Up section  to attach the side discharge chute.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
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 a uniform cut.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from  the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer  to warning label
on the unit.
Mulch Plug
Recoil Starter
The mulch plug is used for mulching purposes.  Instead of
collecting the grass clippings in  a grass catcher or using the
side discharge chute, some mower models have the  option
of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn.  This is called
mulching.
The recoil starter is attached  to the right upper handle. Stand
behind the unit and pull the recoil starter  rope to start the unit.
