Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using product, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this product!
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Keep work area well lit. Do not use the Lawnmower in damp
or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
3. Store idle equipment. When not in use, products must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
damage from moisture and salt air.
4. Check for damaged parts. Before using any product, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for any broken or damaged parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
5. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts will void the warranty.
6. Always check hardware and assembled parts after assembling. All connections should be
tight and hardware tightened.
7. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle the Lawnmower.
8. Rake the lawn clear of all debris before mowing. Solid objects such as rocks and branches
will damage the blade.
9. Keep all body parts clear of the blade at all times.
10. Avoid mowing a wet lawn. Mowing a wet lawn will do damage to both the mower and the
lawn. Mowing when the lawn is dry will provide you with a cleaner, more even cut.

Always wear work type, non-skid footwear when working. Always wear long pants when using
the Lawnmower.
12. Use eye and ear protection. Protect against flying debris, always wear ANSI approved
impact safety goggles.
13. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
14. Protect against flying debris, keep all spectators clear of the grass cutting area.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by
the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Assembly/ Operation
Your Lawnmower will require some assembly prior to use. It is important that you read the entire

and operating the Lawnmower be sure that you have all parts described in the Parts List and
Assembly Diagram located on the last pages of this manual.

shown in Figure 1.
3. There are two hooks located on the bottom corners of the Bag (3). Set these hooks on the
outside of each Wheel (37) as shown in Figure 4.
Adjusting the Blade Height
1. Pull on the Knob (34) while moving it either clockwise or counterclockwise-see Figure 2.
The Blades (11/12) can be set to a range of cutting heights from 1.2” to 2.1”. As you move
the Knob (34), the cutting height will be indicated, make this adjustment one knob at a time.
When completed check to make sure the cutting height on each side of blade is the same -
as shown in Figure 2.
Maintenance
1. Carefully clean debris from blades.
2. Grease all moving parts periodically to maintain clean and smooth movement of parts.
3. Blades should be sharpened and maintained by a qualified technician. Many local
lawnmower shops and hardware stores will sharpen and adjust lawnmower blades.
