Blade Control
The blade control is attached to the upper handle of the mower. Depress and
squeeze it against the drive control to operate the unit. Release it to stop engine
and blade.
This blade control is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation.
Premium Drive Control
The premium drive control is located on the upper handle and is used to engage the
drive. Pushing the control forward will engage the drive. The farther the control is
pushed forward, the faster the mower will propel. Once pressure is released from
the control it will return to the neutral position and the drive will be disengaged.
Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
The cutting height adjustment lever is located above the left rear wheel. To adjust
the cutting height, refer to the Assembly Section.
Deck Wash
Your mower's deck is equipped with a water port on its surface as part of its deck
wash system. Use the deck wash to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside.

Mulching Cover
Figure 12
Mulching Cover
The mulching cover 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.
Side Discharge Cover
Your mower is shipped as a mulcher. To discharge the grass clippings to the side
instead, follow the instructions in the Assembly section to attach the side discharge
cover.
Keep hands and feet away from the chute area on cutting deck. Refer to
warning label on the unit.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand behind the unit and
pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
