Never operate the mower without the proper safety de-
vices in place and working. Never operate the mower with
damaged safety devices. Operating the mower with miss-
ing or damaged parts can result in serious personal injury.
UNFOLDING AND ADJUSTING THE HANDLE
ASSEMBLY
See Figures 2 - 3.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter cable to become pinched or
trapped when raising the handle.
To raise the lower handle:
 Pull the handle adjustment knobs out and rotate
90 degrees.
 Raise the lower handle. Avoid pinching or trapping any
cables.
 Rotate the knob 90 degrees again to secure handle in
place.

ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING THE GRASS
CATCHER (FOR REAR BAGGING OPERATION)
See Figures 4 - 7.
The mower comes with the bagging blade installed. It is de-
signed to propel the clippings deeper into the grass catcher,
preventing build-up at the front of the catcher and resulting in
less frequent emptying. This blade design is more efficient for
bagging, but may slightly reduce the run time of the battery.
NOTE: When using the grass catcher, do not install the
mulching plug.
 Remove start key and battery pack.
 Attach bottom clip of the bag by placing the edge of the
clip over the bottom rail of the frame as shown.
 Attach the three remaining clips on each side of the bag
by using the same procedure.
ASSEMBLY
 Lift the rear discharge door.
 Lift the grass catcher by its handle and place under the
rear discharge door so that the hooks on the grass catcher
are seated onto the slots on the mower housing.
 Release the rear discharge door.
 Reinstall start key and battery pack when you are ready
to mow.
INSTALLING THE MULCHING PLUG
(FOR MULCHING OPERATION)
See Figure 8.
The mower comes with the bagging blade installed. For best
results when mulching, install the included mulching blade.
See Replacing the Cutting Blade in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this manual.
NOTE: When using the mulching plug, do not install the
grass catcher.
 Remove start key and battery pack.
 Lift and hold the rear discharge door.
 Grasp the mulching plug by its handle and insert it at a
slight angle, as shown.
 Push the mulching plug securely into place.
 Lower the rear discharge door.
 Reinstall start key and battery pack when you are ready
to mow.
SETTING BLADE HEIGHT
See Figure 9.
When shipped, the blade on the mower is set to a low- cutting
position. Before using the mower for the first time, raise the
cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The
average lawn should be between 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. during cool
months and between 2 in. and 3-1/4 in. during hot months.
To adjust the blade height:
 Remove start key and battery pack.
 To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever and move it toward the back of the mower.
 To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever and move it toward the front of the mower.
 Reinstall start key and battery pack when you are ready
to mow.
