Blade Control
Mulch Plug
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 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.
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.
Drive Control
The drive control is located on top 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.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
Recoil Starter
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.
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand
behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
