HOW TO SET UP YOUR LAWN MOWER
• Remove any packing material which may be between the upper and lower handles for shipping purposes.
• Move the height adjustment lever located near the left rear wheel to the highest position.
• Pull up and back on the upper handle to raise the handle into the operating position. You may have to spread
the handle a little at an intermediate position and then lift the handle all the way up to its final position. Make
certain the lower handle is seated securely into the handle mounting brackets. See Figure 5B.
• Tighten the hand knobs on each side of the handle. Make sure that the carriage bolts are seated properly into
the handle. See Figure 5A.
NOTE: FOR SERIES 230 UNITS ONLY
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher height position. If you wish to lower the height of the handle,
refer to the Adjustment Section at this time.
ALL UNITS
• Remove the hairpin clips from the outer hole in the weld pins on the handle mounting brackets.
• Using a pair of pliers, squeeze one leg of the lower handle against the handle mounting bracket. Insert the
hairpin clip into the inner hole on the weld pin. Repeat on other side. See Figure 5B.
• The rope guide is attached to the right side of the upper handle. Loosen the wing nut which secures the rope
guide. See Figure 5A.
• With the spark plug wire disconnected and grounded, hold the blade control handle against the upper handle,
and pull the starter rope out of the engine.
• Slip the starter rope into the rope guide. Tighten the wing nut. See Figure 5A.
