A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the 
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag 
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging 
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled. 
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.

The grass bag can be left on the mower during mowing, then 
depending on conditions, certain areas may require full mulching 
where as other areas may require bagging. By adjusting the Clip 
Director knob, various mowing conditions can be met.

During normal use, the grass bag material is subject to deterioration 
and wear.

1. Raise the discharge 

guard and hook the 
grass bag onto the 
mower deck as 
shown.

2. Release the 

discharge guard to 
secure the grass 
bag.

1. Raise the discharge 

guard, grasp the 
grass bag handle, 
and remove the 
grass bag.

2. Release the 

discharge guard.

3. When the grass bag 

is clear of the 
discharge guard, you can lift it through the handlebar opening, or 
you can remove it to the rear of the mower below the handlebar.

Each wheel of the mower can be 
adjusted to one of seven settings. 
The cutting height figures are 
approximate. The actual height of 
cut grass will vary with lawn and 
soil conditions.

Move all four adjustment levers to 
the same position.

To adjust cutting height, pull each 
adjustment lever toward the wheel, 
and move it into another notch.

If you are not sure what cutting 
height to select, start with a high 
setting and check the appearance 
of the lawn after mowing a small 
area. Then readjust the cutting 
height if necessary.

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review LAWN 
MOWER SAFETY (page 2). Even if you have operated other mowers, 
take time to become familiar with how this mower works and practice 
in a safe area until you build up your skills. For your safety, avoid 
starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a 
garage. Your mower’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide 
gas, which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or 
death.

Before starting, always release the drive clutch lever, so the mower 
will not move forward when you operate the starter.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON 

position.

2. Move the throttle lever to the 

proper starting position.

COLD ENGINE:

Move the throttle lever to the 
CHOKE position.

WARM ENGINE:

Move the throttle lever to the 
FAST position.

3. Model HRX217HXA:

Pull the starter grip lightly until 
you feel resistance, then pull 
briskly. Return the starter grip 
gently.
