THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE OR OPERATE YOUR LAWN
MOWER
Do I have a side or rear discharge tawn
mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on
your mower. If the opening is on the right
side of the mower housing, it is a side
discharge mower. If the opening is at the
back of the mower housing, it is a rear dis-
charge 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 mulcher 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 inthis manual, it means when
you are in the operating position(standing
behind the handle).

mower?
