Operation
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or
other objects which could damage lawn mower
or engine. Such objects could be accidently
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious injury to the operator, others, or the
equipment.
Using as Mulcher (If Equipped)
For mulching grass, remove the side discharge
chute (if equipped) or the grass catcher (if
equipped) and allow the rear discharge door to
close the rear opening of mower. 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. Use the grass
catcher to bag clippings instead.
Using Grass Catcher (If Equipped)
Use the grass catcher to collect clippings while
you are operating the mower.
1. Attach grass catcher following
instructions in the Grass Catcher section
on page 7. Grass clippings will
automatically collect in bag as you run
mower. Operate mower until grass bag
is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the
blade 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.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign
object, stop the engine. Remove
wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect mower for any
damage, and repair damage
before restarting and operating.
Extensive vibration of mower
during operation is an indication
of damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
