Assembly

Handle

Assembly
1. Loosen handle knobs and lift top handle half in
an arc until handle halves are in line and nest
together (Fig. 2).
Note: Use care to prevent pinching or
stretching of cables.
2. Tighten knobs securely.
Note: Rotate handle toward rear of mower
until it snaps into stops in handle
brackets.
Handle Height
The handle has two height positions — high and low
(Fig. 3). Select a handle height position that is most
comfortable for you.
1. To change handle height, squeeze bottom handle
section together and align holes over pins inside
handle brackets.
(Self–propelled Models Only)
1. Slide cable anchor on handle to align hole and
locate over pin inside handle bracket.
Note: Belt cover may need to be loosened
and slightly moved out of the way to
make enough room to place handle in
high height setting.
2. Adjust self–propelled cable. See Maintenance
section.

Cover Plate

(models 10248, 10327 & 10328)
Your mower was shipped with a cover plate (Fig. 5).
For side discharge operation the plate must be
installed into deck opening.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
POTENTIAL HAZARD
An uncovered discharge opening will allow
objects to be thrown in operator's or
bystander's direction. Also, contact with
blade could occur.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects or blade contact can cause
serious injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate mower unless cover plate,
mulch plate or grass chute and catcher are
installed.
1. Stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire
(Fig. 4) before installing or removing cover
plate.
2. Remove wing screw that fastens cover plate to
the housing (Fig. 5).
3. Two shoulder bolts on the housing protrude
through slotted holes in the cover plate and do
not have to be loosened or removed. Cover plate
moves over the shoulder bolt heads (Fig. 6).
4. Slide cover plate clockwise to install or
counterclockwise to remove.
5. Secure with wing screw.
6. Connect spark plug wire (Fig. 4).

Before Starting

Oil

Your Lawn–Boy mower is shipped WITHOUT oil in
the crankcase. However, a 20 oz. bottle of oil is
shipped with your mower. Fill engine crankcase with
a maximum of 21 oz. (0.62 liters) of SAE 30 oil. Use
a high quality detergent oil classified American
Petroleum Institute "API Service SF or SG."
1. Check oil level before each use (Fig. 7).
