Assembly
NOTE: This unit is shipped without gasoline or oil in the engine.
Fill up gasoline and oil as instructed in the accompanying engine
manual BEFORE operating your mower.
Handle
1. Remove any packing material which may be between
upper and lower handles.
a. Pull up and back on upper handle as shown in Fig.
3-1. Make certain the lower handle is seated securely
into the handle mounting brackets. Do not crimp
cables while lifting the handle up.
b. Tighten star knobs to secure upper handle to lower
handle. Make sure that each carriage bolt is seated
properly in the handle.
Figure 3-1
2. Locate the hairpin clip on the weld pin on each side of
lower handle.
a. Remove hairpin clip from this hole. Using a pair of
pliers, insert hairpin clip into the hole on pin closest
to the bracket. See Fig. 3-2. Repeat on other side.
b. Insert a carriage bolt found in the manual bag into
the upper hole on the handle mounting bracket.
Secure with one plastic wing nut, also included
in the manual bag. Repeat on other side with
remaining hardware.
NOTE: Make certain the drive cable is routed around the
outside and above the lower handle so it does not interfere
with attaching the grass bag. The chute door has been
designed to move the starter rope out of the way of the
bag when the chute door is opened.
