adjustments or repairs on it.

engine into the ON position, Figure 4-2.
2. Standing behind the mower, squeeze the blade control
against upper handle, Figure 4-2.
3. Holding these two handles together firmly, grasp recoil
starter handle and pull rope out with a rapid, continu-
ous, full arm stroke, Figure 4-2. Keeping a firm grip on

Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher from the
mower and install the mulch baffle, page 7.
• 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
four 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.
1. Attach grass catcher following instructions on page

you run mower. Operate mower till grass bag is full.

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.
