Remove the hairpin clip from the outer hole of
the weld pin.
• Using a pair of pliers, insert the hairpin clip into
the inner hole in the weld pin. Repeat on other
side. See Figure 3 inset.
• Raise the upper handle in the direction shown in
Figure 3B. Tighten the wing nuts which are
already on the handle.

two cable ties already on the lower handle. Pull
tight the cable ties and cut off the extra.

ATTACHING DISCHARGE CHUTE
Your lawn mower was shipped as a mulcher.
Remove the mulching cover and attach the side
discharge chute for discharging grass clippings.
• Remove three plastic wing nuts holding the
mulching cover to the deck. See Figure 5A.
Keep the cover in a safe place for future use.
Save the wing nuts.
Place the side discharge chute on the deck (in
place of the mulching cover) so that the top
flange on the discharge chute goes under the
deck. See Figure 5B.
Align the three slots on the chute with the
hardware slots on the deck.
Secure with the wing nuts earlier removed.
Tighten the wing nuts.
