GET THE MOWER READY
Handlebar Height Adjustment
1. Adjust handlebar height for a comfortable operating position.
2. Loosen the handlebar locking knobs. Spread the lower ends of the 
handlebar to release the locating pins.
3. Move the handlebar up or down, so the locating pins engage other 
holes on the handlebar mounting brackets.
4. Tighten the handlebar locking knobs securely.
Mulching Plug
The mulching plug contours the 
mower deck for efficient mulching.
You can quickly remove the plug to 
install the grass bag or an optional 
side-discharge chute.
Raise the discharge guard to remove 
or install the mulching plug. When 
installing, be sure the plug is fully 
inserted, and the discharge guard is 
closed.
