The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower.
Depress and squeeze it against the upper handle to operate the
unit. Release it to stop engine and blade.
_ ARNING: This blade control is a safety device.
Never attempt to bypass its operations.
The mulch plug is used for mulching purposes. Instead of
collecting the grass clippings in a grass catcher or using the
side discharge chute, some mower models have the option
of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. This is called
mulching.

and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze it against the upper

when activated, closes the choke plate on the carburetor and
aids in starting the engine. Pull the choke control to activate the

Assembly & Set-Up section to attach the side discharge chute.

chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
