eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while
operating the mower, or while performing any
adjustments or repairs on it.
SELF-PROPELLED MOWING FUNCTION
(mod.PP1021)
• Once the mower has been started, the self-
propelled feature is engaged by pulling the
lower ball upward to meet the handle.
• To disengage the self-propelled feature, re-
lease the lower ball.
USING AS MULCHER
For mulching grass, remove the side discharge
chute (if equipped) or the grass catcher (if
equipped) and allow the rear discharge door
(if equipped) to close the rear opening of
mower.
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass. If
the grass has been allowed to grow in excess
of four inches, mulching is not recommended.
Use the grass catcher to bag clippings instead.
USING GRASS CATCHER (If Equipped)
You can use the grass catcher to collect clip-
pings while you are operating the mower.
1. Attach grass catcher following instructions
in the "Assembly & Set-Up" section. Grass clip-
pings will automatically collect in bag as you
run mower. Operate mower till grass bag is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the
blade control. Make sure that the unit has
come to a complete stop.
3. Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up
and away from the mower to remove the bag.
Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the
bag when complete.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object,
stop the engine. Remove wire from the spark
plug, thoroughly inspect mower for any dam-
age, and repair damage before restarting
and operating. Extensive vibration of mower
during operation is an indication of damage.
The unit should be promptly inspected and re-
paired.

must operate freely
in both directions.
See Figure 14.
2. Follow the accompanying engine manual

DECK CARE
Clean underside of the mower deck after
