Air Cleaner Inspection
Remove cover [1]. Make sure the filter [2] is clean and in good
condition. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. Refer to page 12 for air cleaner
service.
Mulching or Side Discharge
The mower can be used to
mulch or side discharge grass
clippings.
To mulch, make sure the side
discharge chute is not installed,
and the side door on the mower
deck is fully closed.
To discharge the clippings from
the side door [1], stop the
engine, lift the side door up and
install the side discharge chute
[2] as shown.
Cutting Height
Check the mower deck
cutting height settings, and
be sure that all four
adjustment levers [1] are
set to the same cutting
height position.
To adjust cutting height,
pull each adjustment lever
[1] toward the wheel, and
move it into another notch.
If you are not sure what
cutting height to select,
start with a high setting
and check the appearance
of the lawn after mowing a
small area. Then readjust
the cutting height if
necessary.

OPERATION

SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (page 2) and PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (page 5).
Even if you have operated other mowers, take the time to become
familiar with how this mower works, and practice in a safe area until
you build up your skills.

For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed
area such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and
cause illness or death.
FREQUENCY OF USE
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
(more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section
of the STORAGE chapter (page 14) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.

until you feel resistance, then
pull briskly. Return the starter
grip gently.
