Powersmart B8621S Manuel D'instructions page 15

Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding
a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If necessary, mow a
number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if
the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or
replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn off the lawn mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
USING AS SIDE DISCHARGE
You should close the rear cover with mulching adapter in order to use the side discharge.
1. On the side of the mower, lift the side discharge cover.
2. Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on the side discharge cover. Lower the side discharge
cover.
Caution: Do not remove side discharge cover at any time.
USING AS A REAR BAGGER
To use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the mower.
1. Attached grass catcher following instruction in the lawn mower preparation. Grass clippings will
automatically collect in bag as you run the mower. Operate mower until grass catcher is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the engine start/stop lever. Make sure that the engine has come to a
complete stop.
3. Lift rear discharge door and pull grass catcher up and away from the mower to remove the grass catcher.
Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the grass catcher when complete.
Warning: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove spark plug wire, thoroughly inspect
mower for any damage, and repair damage before restarting and operating. Excessive vibration of the
mower during operation is an indication of damage. The mower should be promptly inspected and
repaired.
