To raise the handle assembly:
 Pullthehandleadjustmentknobsoutandrotate90de-
grees.
 Raisethehandleassembly.Avoidpinchingortrapping
anycables.
NOTE: Therearetwo stop positions for a higher and
loweradjustmentofthehandle.Thisallowsforamore
comfortableoperatingposition.
 Rotatetheknob90degreesagain tosecurehandlein
place.
EXTENDING THE UPPER HANDLE
See Figure 3.

 Movebothhandlelockleverstotheunlockedposition.
 Fullyextendtheupperhandle.
 Movebothhandlelockleverstothelockedpositionto
securetheupperhandleinplace.
 Toretracttheupperhandle,movebothhandlelocklevers
totheunlockedpositionandpushtheupperhandleinto
thelowerhandle.Movebothhandlelockleverstothe
lockedpositiontosecure.
ASSEMBLING THE GRASS CATCHER
See Figures 4 - 5.

 Placethegrasscatcherframeonaflatsurfacewiththe
handlefacingdown.
 Orientthegrasscatcherbagsothevinylfloorisfacingup,
thenslidethebagontotheframe.Wheninstalling,allow
theframehandletoremainoutsidethebagandmake
surethebagseamsarelocatedattheframeedges.
 Pulltheclipovertheframerailtosecureinplace.
 Liftthebag’svinylfloortothetopoftheframerailand
secureinplace.
 Usingthesamemethod,attachtheremainingclipson
eachsideofthebagtotheframerailtosecure.
INSTALLING THE GRASS CATCHER (FOR
REAR BAGGING OPERATION)
See Figures 6 - 7.
NOTE:
 When using the grass catcher, do not install the
mulchingplug.
 Removethestartkeyandbatterypack.
 Placethegrasscatcherontothemowersotheopening
onthegrasscatchercoversthereardischargeopening
andthegrasscatcher’smetallocksareinsidetheslots
onthemowerhousing.
 Gentlypushdownonthegrasscatcher to ensure the
metallocksarefullyseatedintheslots.Themowerwill
notstartifthemetallocksarenotfullyseated.
 Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are
readytomow.

See Figure 8.
NOTE:
 When using the mulching plug, do not install the
grasscatcher.
 Removethestartkeyandbatterypack.
 Raisethemetallockonthemulchingplug.
 Insertthemulchingplugintothemower’sreardischarge
openingandlowerthemulchingplug’smetallockinto
theslotontherightsideofthemowerhousing.
 Gentlypushdownonthemetallocktoensureitisfully
seatedintheslot.Themowerwillnotstartifthemetal
lockisnotfullyseated.
 Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are
readytomow.
SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT
See Figure 9.
Whenshipped,thebladeonthemowerissettoalow-cutting
position.Beforeusingthemowerforthefirsttime,raisethe
cuttingpositiontotheheightbestsuitedforyourlawn.The
averagelawnshouldbebetween1-1/2in.to2in.duringcool
monthsandbetween2in.and3-1/4in.duringhotmonths.
To adjust the blade height:
 Removethestartkeyandbatterypack.
 Toraisethebladeheight,squeezetheheightadjustment
triggerandliftthemowerdeckup.
NOTE:Usethescaleontopofthemowerdecktoselect
theappropriatebladeheight.
 Tolowerthebladeheight,squeezetheheightadjustment
triggerandpushthemowerdeckdown.
 Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are
