NOTE: Make sure the cord is located on the front of both handles. If it is not it may result in the cord tangling and the inability to easily store the mower (Figure I).

From the outside

 

I

 

of the upper

 

handle (3), slide

 

the lever bolt

 

through the holes.

 

Slide the washer

 

 

over the bolt of the

 

 

lever and loosely

 

 

assemble the

 

 

entire assembly

 

with the nut.

 

Rotate the upper

 

 

handle into its

 

operating position.

 

Close the lever. If it is too tight or too

 

loose, open the lever and the nut to

 

adjust the clamping. Check the levers

 

by closing them. They should be tight

 

enough so the handles are held firmly,

 

but loose enough so the levers can be

 

fully closed. Adjust by opening the lever

 

and turning the nut until the handles are

 

secured.

 

SECURING THE MOTOR CABLE (FIGURE J)

CAUTION: Attach cable so that it does not become stretched or pinched in the joints of the handles during use or folding. This can cause damage to the cord.

The motor cable (22) has to be fixed to the handles using the cable restraints (23) that are already attached to the handle. To clip the cable to the handle:

• Place the handles in operating position, see “Attaching Lower Handle” section.

• Run the cable up the front of the lower and upper handles.

• Pull back the cable restraint.

• Slide the motor cable under the clip and ensure it is fully held in place by the restraint.

(26) (Figure L) are removed from the mower before bagging.

• Lift the rear door cover (9) and place the grass collection bag (8) onto the mower so the bag hooks (24) rest on the lugs (25) as shown in Figure K.

Then lower the rear door cover.
