Bagging Grass Clippings
FIGURE 14
You can use the grasscatcher bag to collect clippings while you are operating the mower. Attach the grasscatcher
following instructions on page 10 of this manual. Operate the mower till the grass bag is full, or the job is completed
whichever is earlier. Stop the engine completely by releasing the control lever. Make sure that the unit has come to
a complete stop. To empty the grass bag proceed as follows:
Lift discharge door and pull grass bag away from the mower. See Figure 14A.
Lift the bag up and away from the mower and dispose of the grass clippings. See Figure 14B.
Adjusting Cutting Height
Refer to height adjustments section of this manual on page 17 for instruction on how to adjust the cutting height and
the handle height.
For best results in mowing, keep the cutting height position high until it is determined which height is best for
your lawn.
SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any
maintenance work or adjustments on your lawn mower.
Cleaning Mower
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent any build-up of grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, or other debris. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will result in rust and corrosion.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Drain the gasoline from the lawn mower, or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
Tip the mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold the mower
firmly.
Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool.
Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had put plastic under the gas cap, make sure to
remove it now.
