Craftsman 900.370511 - Manual (Page 10)

Remember that the blade always turns
when the motor is running.
The Operator Presence Control Switch is
a lever that you pull back to start and run
the mower. The switch requires you to be
positioned behind the mower handle for
mower operation.
To operate the switch, insert your finger
into the opening (A) and push the lever
out so that you can grab it with your other
hand. Puli the lever back to turn the unit
on and hold it against the mower handle
to keep it running. To turn the mower off,
just release the lever. The spring loaded
“SNAP ACTION” lever will quickly turn the
mower off.
MULCH INSERT & REAR DOOR
The mulch insert is designed to minimize
the throwing of stones or other objects by
the mower blade backward from under the
mower deck. The mulch insert, along with
the rear door, minimizes the possibility of
accidental foot contact with the blade. DO
NOT operate mower without the mulch
insert and rear door In place.
