Blade Control
The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower. Depress and
squeeze it against the upper handle to operate the unit. Release it to stop engine
and blade.
This blade control is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation.
Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
One adjustment lever is located on the right rear wheel and one is located on the
right front wheel. Both levers have to be at the same position to ensure a uniform
cut. To adjust the cutting height, refer to the Assembly Section.
Mulch Plug
The mulch plug is used for mulching purposes. Instead of collecting the grass
clippings in a grass catcher or using the side discharge chute, some mower models
have the option of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. This is called
mulching.
Craftsman Lawn Mowers conform to the safety standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
