UNPACKING THE MOWER
1. Your mower carton contains the mower, 2 handles (attached),
mulch insert and a grass bag and frame assembly.
2. Your mower has been completely assembled at the factory except
for the grass bag. Remove the grassbag, grassbag frame, mower
and fillers from the carton.
UNFOLDING AND ADJUSTING THE HANDLE (FIGURE 2)
1. UNPLUG TOOL, AND WAIT FOR BLADE TO COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP.
2. Raise the handle section into place and secure by tightening the
two knobs. Take care not to pinch or damage the power cord while
adjusting the handles.
3. There are three holes on the upper handle, this allows the handle
height to be set in three positions. Choose the hole that best suits
your overall height.
Install the bolts to the inside of the handles so that the knobs are
on the outside (to avoid interference with the rear door and
grassbag). Tighten the knobs securely.

MULCHING
The mower is designed to mulch or discharge the grass depending
on whether the mulch insert is installed and the mulch door is
closed (mulching) or the mulch door is up and the discharge chute
is in place (discharging). No further assembly steps are required if
you are mulching. PROCEED TO OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
