SECTION 1: FINDING LAWN MOWER MODEL NUMBER

This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new lawn mower. It will help you assemble, prepare and maintain your mower properly. Please read and understand what it says.

Before you start to prepare your equipment for its first use, please locate the model plate and copy the information from it in the space provided below. The information on the model plate is very important if you need help from your dealer or the MTD customer support department.

Every lawn mower has a model plate. You can locate it by standing behind the unit in the operating position and looking down at the rear of the deck.

The model plate will look like Figure 1.

This is where the model number will be.

XXX-X-XXX-X-XXX XXXXXXXXXXX

This is where the serial number will be.
