Instructions / Assembly

For mulching grass, remove the side discharge chute from the

mower. When you remove the side discharge chute, the mulch cover

will close. 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.

USING AS MULCHER

Rapid retraction of the starter

cord (kickback) will pull your

hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can

let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains

could result.

Wait for the blade to stop

completely before performing

any work on the mower.

WARNING

Open the mulch cover and install the side discharge deector. (See

Figure 11)

Release the engine start/stop control lever to stop the engine and

blade. (See Figure 12)
