Operating Tips

•Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other debris that the blade could hit.

•Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.

•If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.

11.Position the leg of the bag hanger (D above) into the hanger clamp groove and secure it with a knob.

12.Repeat steps 9 through 11 for the other side.

•For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.

•Replace the blade when necessary with a Lawn-Boy replacement blade.

Cutting Grass

•Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height on page 7.

•When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall, mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.
