Handlebar folding instructions
The handlebar assembly is supplied in the
storage position for packaging purposes.
The folding handle system allows for
compact storage when not in use.
• Unfold the handle by lifting and
turning it to its ‘mowing’ position.
• Lock the handlebar in this
position by activating the locking
lever before operating the
mower. The locking lever
can be locked in place at
any point throughout its
360-degree movement.
• On models fitted with the ‘zone start’ facility, pull
the engine starter cord out carefully so that there
is sufficient length to extend the handle fully
without stretching the cord.
To change the handlebars back to the storage position,
simply loosen the handle locking lever and rotate the
upper handlebar forward over the mower body.
Assembling the Catcher 480 Model
You will need a #6 Pozi Screwdriver
1 Place the base of the catcher onto a low flat surface.
2 Take the top half of the
catcher and place it on
top of the base, lining
up the screw bosses
at the front of the
catcher.
3 Working from the front, insert
each of the screws into the
openings on the top of the
catcher.
Using one hand,
line the screw
bosses up on
the inside of
the catcher. Tighten the screw, using the
screwdriver.
4 Pushing from the inside, move the grill into place on
both sides.
The grill should snap into place interlocking along
the bottom edge.

Always wait until the engine has
stopped and the blade has stopped
rotating before fitting or removing
the mulcher plug.
The mulching lawnmowers have been provided with a
mulch plug. Removing the mulch plug from the mower
and fitting the catcher converts the mulching mower to
a catching model and vice versa.
Handlebar height adjustment
The height of the handlebar can be adjusted to
various heights. Lift the grass flap and secure it in the
open position, loosen the four bolts two on each side
connecting the handle to the mower.
• The handle can now be adjusted to the correct
height by moving it.
• Hold the handle in place and tighten the bolts to
secure the handle in its new position.
