CHECK THE LEVEL OF CUT

Test the unit in a small area. If the height of cut is not level or if the cut grass is not discharged, the cause can be: (1) the blade is bent or dam- aged, (2) the blade is not sharp, (3) a worn blade, (4) or a broken blade adapter. Before you use the unit, correct the problem.

STORAGE FOR HANDLES THAT FOLD

CAUTION: Be careful when you fold or raise the handle. Do not damage the cables. A cable that is bent will not work correctly. Before you use the unit, replace a bent or damaged cable.

How To Fold The Handle

1.Loosen the fasteners that hold the upper part of the handle to the lower part of the handle. As you fold the handle, make sure the cables are not around the loose fasten- ers and do not become damaged. Rotate the upper part of the handle back (Figure 31).

2.Loosen the knobs on the lower handle. Push in on the ends of the lower handle.

3.Rotate the handle forward over the engine as shown. Make sure the cables are not damaged.
