UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
The mower was fully assembled at the factory.
When the mower was put in the carton, the
handle was put in the storage position. To put
the handle in the operating position, follow the
steps below.
Handle
1. Remove the mower from the carton.
2. Remove all packing material from the
mower and the handle.
NOTE: The height of the handle can be
set at either a HIGH or LOW position.
See “How To Adjust The Handle
Height”.
3. Raise the lower handle. Make sure the
lower handle is between the locking tabs

4. Put the upper handle in the operating (up-
right) position. Tighten the wingnuts.

raise the handle. Do not damage the

correctly. Before you use the unit, re-
place a bent or damaged cable.

dle. Slowly pull the recoil-start grip. To at-
tach the recoil-start grip to the rope

guide mounted on the right side of the han-
dle (Figure 2).
