Deck Wash
Your mower's deck is equipped with a water port on its surface as part of its deck
wash system. Use the deck wash to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside.
Mulch Cover
The mulch cover 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.
Keep hands and feet away from the chute area on cutting deck. Refer to
warning label on the unit.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand behind the unit and
pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual packed with your mower for detailed oil
filling, checking and changing instructions.
Electric Starter Push Key
The electric starter push key is located on the right side of the upper handle. It is
both a removable key and push button and is only provided on electric start models.
