OPERATING THE LAWN MOWER
Connecting the Power Cord
The cord restraint is located on the back of the upper handle, and when it is used properly, it
helps to protect the switch assembly and the extension cord.
A single height adjustment lever is used to adjust the cutting height. The lever is located
beside the right rear wheel, and has six height positions. The height of the cut can be changed
by moving the lever from one position to another. Simply pull the lever in order to unlock it,
and then move it to the desired position. Doing so sets all of the wheels to the same position.
The mower is equipped with a mulching plug so that it can cut and re-cut the grass for finer
clippings. Refer to the next section for tips on cutting with the mulching plug in place. The
mower should never be used without the mulching plug in place.
Selecting an Extension Cord
The chart below showns the length of extension cords and the corresponding acceptable cord ratings.
For a 50' (15 m) cord, use 16 AWG
For a 100' (30 m) cord, use 14 AWG
For a 150' (45 m) cord, use 12 AWG
Use only a CSA listed extension cord that is approved for outdoor use.
IMPORTANT: Using any other length or rating of cord will adversly effect the
performance and possibly the life of the electric motor, and may also cause breakers
to trip or fuses to blow in the household fuse box.
Cord Restraint
Attach the extension cord (not provided) to the cord restraint as follows:
1. Form a small loop in the extension cord. Allow enough excess cord to make the connection
to the switch (approximately 20” [50 cm]).
2. Slip the loop through the slot on the bottom of the cord restraint, and then up over the tab.
This will prevent the extension cord from disconnecting from the switch during operation
3. Keep the cord restraint as close to the motor/blade control as possible.
