WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. Avoid
getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.
Remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the
fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill;
there should be no fuel in the filler neck [1].
After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Move the mower at least 3 meters away from the fueling source and
site before starting the engine.
Fuel Storage Container
Store your gasoline in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for
fuel storage. Close the vent (if equipped) when not in use, and store
the container away from direct sunlight. If it will take more than 3
months to use the fuel in the container, we suggest adding a fuel
stabilizer to the fuel when you fill the container.
If you have some fuel left in your storage container at the end of the
season, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends
adding the gasoline to your vehicle's gas tank
(http://epa.gov/reg5oair/mobile/winter.html).
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 14 for air cleaner
service.
Handlebar Height Adjustment
Handlebar height can be adjusted to three positions: high [1], middle
[2], and low [3].
1. Turn the handlebar adjust knobs [5] 90 degrees into the unlock [7]
position.
2. Move the handlebar [4] up or down, so the locating pins align with
either the higher, middle, or lower holes on the handlebar
mounting brackets [6].
3. Turn the adjust knobs 90 degrees into the lock position [8] and the
pins will snap into the holes and lock into position.

Grass Bag
A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.
Inspection
During normal use, the grass bag material is subject to deterioration
and wear.
NOTICE
Frequently inspect the grass bag for tears, holes, and excessive wear.
Check for necessary replacement. Make sure the new bag meets the
original specifications.
If the grass bag needs replacement, you can remove and install a bag
yourself (page 17).
