Operating 
Your Lawn 
Mower
Now that you have set up your lawn mower, it’s 
important to become acquainted with its controls 
and features.
Blade Control
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. 
WARNING: This blade control is a safety 
device. Never attempt to bypass its 
operations.
Drive Control
The drive control is located on the underside of 
the upper handle and is used to engage the drive. 
Squeeze it against the upper handle to engage the 
drive; release it to slow down or stop mower from 
propelling.
Mulching Plug
The mulching plug is used only for mulching 
purposes. Instead of collecting the grass clippings 
in the grass catcher, your mower has the option of 
recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. Make 
sure that the rear discharge door is closed and the 
grass catcher is removed from unit while mulching.
Cutting Height Adjustment Levers
One adjustment lever is located at each wheel and is 
used to adjust the cutting height. All four levers must 
be set to the same position to ensure a uniform cut.
Side Discharge Chute
Instead of collecting grass clippings in the bag, you may 
attach the side discharge chute to expel the clippings.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper 
handle. Stand behind the unit and pull the recoil 
starter rope to start the unit.
Gas and Oil Fill-Up 
Refer to engine manual for details.
1.  Check oil level and add oil if necessary.

handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely 
flammable and the vapors are explosive. 
Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine 
is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, 
pipes and other sources of ignition. 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 
or maintaining the mower.
