SETTING BLADE HEIGHT

See figure 7.

When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low- 

cutting  position.  Before  using  the  mower  for  the  first  time, 

adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your 

lawn. The average lawn should be between 38 mm to 50 

mm during cool months and between 50 mm and 76 mm 

during hot months.

To set the blade height:

■

Stop the product and wait for the blade to come to a 

complete stop.

■

To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment 

lever and move it toward the back of the mower.

■

To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment 

lever and move it toward the front of the mower.

SETTING HANDLE HEIGHT AND ANGLE

See figure 8.

The height of the handle can be easily adjusted for operator 

preference.

To adjust the handle height:

■

Remove the quick-release knob.

■

Slide out the quick-release lever and adjust the height 

to the other opening.

■

Reinstall the quick-release fastener. Tighten the quick-

release knob.

■

Repeat on the other side of the handle.

To adjust the handle angle:

■

Release the lower quick-release fasteners.

adjustment setting.

■

Reinstall the lower quick-release fasteners.

MOWING TIPS

■

Make sure the lawn mower mowing area is clear of 

stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could 

damage the lawn mower blades or engine. Such 

objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in 

any direction and cause serious personal injury to the 

operator and others.

■

For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of 

the total height of the grass.

■

When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow 

for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the 

clippings.

■

Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the 

deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass 

clippings.

■

New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height 

and a narrower cutting path.

■

Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use 

to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other 

accumulated debris. Refer to “Cleaning the underside 

of the mower deck” section.

SLOPE OPERATION TIPS

See figure 10.

■

Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall 

accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on 

slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a 

slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to 

mow slopes greater than 15 degrees. Do not use the 

drive wheels when mowing on slopes.

■

Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. 

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on 

slopes.

■

Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps 

which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide 

obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, 

etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. 

■

Always be sure of your footing. A slip and a fall can 

cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing 

your balance, immediately release the power lever. 

■

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; 

you could lose your footing or balance.

1.  Stop the product and wait for the blade to come to a 

complete stop.

2.  Lift the rear discharge door.

3.  Grasp grass catcher by its handle and lift to remove 

from the product.

4.  Empty grass clippings.

5.  Lift the rear discharge door and reinstall the grass
