(c) Attach upper handle assembly to lower handle with

OPERATION
NOTE:
For shipping purposes your mower is set with the
v/heels in a low cutting height position. For best results
raise the cutting position until it is determined which
height is best for your lawn. See adjustments.
1. Service engine with gas and oil. See Engine Manual pack
ed with lawn mower for complete instructions for the care
and maintenance of engine.
Read Directions Carefully.
2. When ready to start engine, place throttle control lever,
on handle, in “Choke” position and start engine in
accordance with instructions in Engine Manual. After
engine starts, move throttle control lever, on handle, to
desired engine speed. The engine is stopped by placing
control lever on handle in the “Stop” position.
3. Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other
objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. For
best results and to insure more even grass distribution,
do not mow when lawn is excessively wet.
