Cutting Height Adjustment Lever

This lever, located at each wheel, lets you adjust cutting height of the grass. Remember to put all four levers at the same height to avoid uneven cut.

Primer

The primer is used to pump gas into the carburetor. Use it to assist in starting a cold engine, but do not use it when restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown.

Throttle Control

The engine is equipped with a constant speed throttle for maximum engine and cutting performance.

Recoil Starter

The recoil starter is attached to the handle. Stand behind the unit and pull the recoil starter to start engine.

Mulching Plug

The mulching plug is used only for mulching purposes. Instead of collecting the grass clippings in a grass catcher, some mower models have the option of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. This is called mulching.
