Note: This unit is shipped without gasoline or
oil in the engine. Fill up gasoline and oil as
instructed in the accompanying engine
manual BEFORE operating your mower.
Handle
1.
Remove any packing material which may
be between upper and lower handles.
a)
Pull up and back on upper handle as
shown in Fig. . Make certain the
lower handle is seated securely into
the handle mounting brackets. Do
not crimp cables while lifting the
handle up.
b)
Tighten star knobs to secure upper
handle to lower handle. Make sure
that each carriage bolt is seated
properly in the handle.
2.
Locate the hairpin clip on the weld pin on
each side of lower handle.
a)
Remove hairpin clip from this hole.
Using a pair of pliers, insert hairpin
clip into the hole on pin closest to
the bracket. See Fig. Repeat on
other side.
b)
Insert a carriage bolt found in the
manual bag into the upper hole on
the handle mounting bracket.
Secure with one plastic wing nut,
also included in the manual bag.
Repeat on other side with
remaining hardware.
Note: Make certain the drive cable
is routed around the outside and
above the lower handle so it does
not interfere with attaching the
grass bag. The chute door has been
designed to move the starter rope
out of the way of the bag when the
chute door is opened.

The rope guide, which is connected to the
support rod, is located on the right side of
the lower handle. See Fig.

the cable ties already on the lower handle.
Insert pegs on cable ties into the holes on
the lower handle. Pull cable ties tight and
cut off the extra.
Grass Catcher

baffle installed on the unit. For bagging
purposes, you will have to attach the grass
bag and its adapter in place of the mulching
baffle.

mulching baffle in place and remove from
unit.
