SECTION 3: FINDING MODEL NUMBER

This owner’s guide is an important part of your new Yard-Machine lawn mower. It will help you to assemble, prepare and maintain your mower. Please read and understand what it says.

Before you start assembling the mower for its first use, please locate its model plate and copy the information on to this owner’s guide. The information on the model plate is very important if you contact a service center or the Yard-Machine customer support department.

•The model plate will look like Figure 1.

This is where mower model number will be.
