OPERATION
NOTE: Your mower is equipped with an advanced internal drive system for ease of
use. When turning or pulling the unit rearward, you may notice higher than normal
resistance in the rear wheels under certain conditions. This is perfectly normal
and can be remedied by allowing the unit to roll forward slightly without the drive
lever(s) engaged before pulling backwards.
Engage the right, the left, or
both the right and left control
levers to propel the mower.

Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher or side discharge chute from the
mower. When you remove the grass catcher from the mower, ensure the rear
mulch plug (if equipped) is installed and allow the rear discharge door to close the
rear opening of mower. When you remove the side discharge chute, the mulching
cover will close. 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)
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the
mower.
1. Attach grass catcher following instructions in the Assembly section. 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. Disconnect the spark plug
wire, 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.
