Be sure no one other than the operator 

is standing near the lawn mower while starting 
engine or operating mower. Never run engine 
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. 
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an 
odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and 
loose clothing away from any moving parts on 
engine and lawn mower.

Refer to engine manual for help with the engine.

Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects 
which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could 
be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause 
serious personal injury to the operator and others.

Once the engine is running, squeeze the drive control

The operation of any lawn mower can 

result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, 
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear 
safety glasses while operating the mower, or while 
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.

For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher and allow the rear 
discharge door  to close the rear opening of mower. For effective 
mulching, do not cut wet grass. If the grass has been allowed to 
grow in excess of four inches, mulching is not recommended. Use 
the grass catcher to bag clippings instead.

You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are 
operating the mower.

Attach grass catcher following instructions in the 

1. 

“Assembly & Set-Up” section. Grass clippings will 
automatically collect in bag as you run mower. Operate 
mower till grass bag is full.
Stop engine completely by releasing the blade control. 

2. 

Make sure that the unit has come to a complete stop.
Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away from 

3. 

the mower to remove the bag. Dispose of the grass 
clippings and reinstall the bag when complete.

If you strike a foreign object, stop the 

engine. Remove wire from the spark plug, 
thoroughly inspect mower for any damage, and 
repair damage before restarting and operating. 
Extensive vibration of mower during operation is an 
indication of damage. The unit should be promptly 
inspected and repaired.
