THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE OR OPERATE YOUR MOWER
Do I have a side or rear discharge lawn mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on your mower. If the opening is on the right side
of the mower housing, it isa side discharge mower. If the opening is at the back of the
mower housing, it is a rear discharge mower. Only rear discharge lawn mowers have a
grass catcher included with the mower. Approved grass catchers for side discharge
mowers may be purchased from your nearest authorized dealer.
Do I have a mulching lawn mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on your mower. Raise the discharge guard (rear
door on rear discharge mowers). If the opening is closed off by a plate, then your lawn
mower is muicher ready. To convert to a discharging mower, see the Operation section
of this manual.
What is the right and left side of the
lawn mower?
When right hand (RH) or left hand (LH) is
mentioned in this manual, it means when
you are in the operating position (standing
behind the handle).
