Assembling Mower
• Remove grass bag from unit and set it aside.
• Lift up and pull back on the upper handle to raise
the handle into the operating position. Make certain
the lower handle is seated securely into the handle
mounting brackets. Tighten the wing nuts on each
side of the handle (carriage bolts must be seated
properly into the handles) See Figure 1.
Figure 1
NOTE: Your mower is shipped with the handle in the
higher height position. If you wish to lower the height of
the handle, refer to the Adjustment Section at this time.
• Remove the hairpin clip from the outer hole in the
weld pin on the handle mounting bracket. Using a
pair of pliers, squeeze one leg of the lower handle
against the handle mounting bracket. Insert the
hairpin clip into the inner hole on the weld pin.
Repeat on the other side. See Figure 2.

• Place each carriage bolt (found in the hardware
pack included with your unit) in the upper hole of
the handle mounting bracket from the inside out.
Secure with the plastic wing nut. See Figure 3.
Repeat on the other side.
Figure 3
NOTE: Make certain the drive cable is routed around
the outside and above the lower handle so that it does
not interfere with attaching the grass bag.
• Fasten the cables to the lower handle with the two
cable ties found on the lower handle. Be sure to
insert the post on the cables ties into the holes
provided on the lower handle. These holes may be
found on either the inside or outside of the handle.
Pull the cable ties tight and trim off the excess. See
