Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Note. Make sure that two people are used to remove the mower from the box. Have two people at opposite ends lifting from the bottom of the mower.
Assembly
It is necessary to fit the lower handle (2), handle bar (1), and catcher (5) to the mower.
Assembling the catcher
The grass catcher (5) is supplied in two sections. Locate the top half on top of the bottom half and interlock them together by aligning the lugs and slots and pushing the halves together until they click into place.
Attaching the catcher
1.Lift the discharge guard (4) in order to position the catcher.
2.While lifting the discharge guard, slide the catcher into position in a downwards direction (Fig. 1).

3. Push the catcher down until it locks into place (Fig. 2).
4. Release the discharge guard
to secure the catcher in place3 between the 2 ribbed locking
notches (Fig. 3).
Note. Always empty the catcher before it has reached maximum capacity, otherwise it will decrease the performance of the mower.
Attaching the handles
It is necessary to attach both the lower handle and handle bars.
Note. Uncut the cable ties connecting the handle to the mower before you start.
1. To attach the lower handle, first use a spanner to remove the 4 bolts.
2.Place the lower handle in position (inside the bolt brackets) and replace the 4 bolts, from outside in. Use the spanner to retighten the nuts.
3.To attach the handle bar, first remove the two handle bar locking knobs (13).
4.Position the handle bar over the lower handle and insert the two locking knobs, and tighten to secure the handles together.
