Figure 4-2: Starting the mower.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object,
stop the engine. Remove wire from the
spark plug, thoroughly inspect mower
for any damage, and repair damage before restart-
ing and operating. Extensive vibration of mower
during operation is an indication of damage. The
unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
1. Once the engine is running, squeeze the drive
control against the upper handle to propel mower.
• For best results, do not cut wet grass.
• For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than one-
third of the total length of the grass.
Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher from
the mower and install the mulching baffle. The rear
discharge door should be closed.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass.
• New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
Adjust ground speed according to condition of lawn.
• If the grass has been allowed to grow in excess of
4 inches, mulching is not recommended. Use the
grass catcher to bag clippings instead.
Using Grass Catcher
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while
you are operating the mower. Refer to Setup section for
installation instructions.
• Grass clippings will automatically collect in bag as
you run mower. Operate mower till grass bag is full.
• Stop engine completely by releasing the blade
control. Make sure that the unit has come to a
complete stop.
• Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away
from the mower to dispose of the grass clippings.
