• Attach grass catcher following instructions on page

8 of this manual. Grass clippings will automatically

collect in the bag as you run the mower.

• Operate the mower till the grass bag is full.

• Stop engine completely by releasing the blade

control. Make sure that the unit has come to a

complete stop.

• While holding the grass bag by both the rear handle

and the lower handle, lift the grass bag straight up

off the adapter. The chute door will move the rope

out of the way of the bag.

• Continue to hold the lower handle and raise the

rear of the grass bag up toward your chest. The

grass bag will open and the grass clippings will

disperse. When replacing the grass bag, be sure

the top of the bag rests on the wire support

between the handles.

SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

Cutting Height

Your mower is shipped with the cutting height in the

lowest position. To adjust the rear cutting height,

proceed as follows:

• Pull the rear height adjustment lever out and away

from the mower and then move it forward or

backward to another slot. For rough or uneven

lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a higher

position. This will help stop scalping. See Figure 10.

Figure 10

The front wheel cutting height is determined by

selecting one of six positions on each caster assembly.

To adjust front cutting height, proceed as follows:

• Remove the wing nut from the axle bolt. See Figure

11. Slide the axle bolt and spring washer from the

assembly and select a cutting height.

• With the spring washer on the axle bolt, reinsert

hardware in the square hole desired through the

wheel assembly and secure with the wing nut

previously removed.

IMPORTANT:

All wheels must be placed in the same

relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, raise the

cutting height of your mower.

Figure 11

Caster Lock Adjustment

The casters can be locked in a straight ahead position

or position to swivel freely. See Figure 11.

• Lift and place the lock pins in the larger holes to

lock the wheels for straight ahead operation.

• Place pins in smaller holes to allow casters to rotate

freely for turning.

WARNING: Do not at any time make any

adjustments without first stopping engine and

disconnecting spark plug wire.
