GET THE MOWER READY
Handlebar Height Adjustment
1. Adjust handlebar height for a comfortable operating position.
2. Loosen the handlebar locking knobs. Spread the lower ends of the
handlebar to release the locating pins.
3. Move the handlebar up or down, so the locating pins engage other
holes on the handlebar mounting brackets.
4. Tighten the handlebar locking knobs securely.
Mulching Plug
The mulching plug contours the
mower deck for efficient mulching.
You can quickly remove the plug to
install the grass bag or an optional
side-discharge chute.
Raise the discharge guard to remove
or install the mulching plug. When
installing, be sure the plug is fully
inserted, and the discharge guard is
closed.
