1. The extension cord must be polarized and will only plug in one way, orient the wide slot with the wide blade in the switch housing. 2. Loop the extension cord and push the loop up through the hole in the switch housing. 3. Pull the extension cord on the side of the loop that is plugged into the switch housing and remove all the slack in this section of the extension cord. 4. Place the loop over the strain relief tab on the switch housing and pull the extension cord so the loop draws down around the strain relief tab as shown in the detail. Double check to see that you did not loosen the extension cord. SWITCH USE (FIGURE 6) Your mower is equipped with a special switch. To operate the switch, insert your finger into the opening (Figure 6) and push the lever out so that you can grasp it with your other hand. Pull 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. WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO OVERRIDE THE OPERATION OF THIS SWITCH. EXTENSION CORD TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FIGURE 7) 1. Place most of the extension cord close to the electrical outlet, out of the path of the mower. Attach extension cord to mower. 2. Start in direction where extension cord side of mower is closest to the outlet. Begin mowing in the area closest to the outlet and mow in a back and forth manner. Note the cord is kept on cut portion of lawn and out of the path of the mower. (FIGURE 7) 3. Avoid mowing in circles as cord will be harder to manage. 5 INSPECT CUTTING AREA 5 6 7 RECOMMENDED APPROXIMATE CUTTING HEIGHT The cutting height should be higher in hot weather or shade , and lower for the last mow before winter.

These clippings, which are dispersed as you mow will biodegrade quickly and provide nutrients for the lawn. • Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds. • Do not cut the lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps with the mulching action. The best time to cut your lawn is in the afternoon. • For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that the mower cuts off only the top third of the grass blades. • If your lawn is overgrown it may be necessary to increase the cutting height to reduce the pushing effect and prevent overloading the motor. • For extremely heavy mulching make narrower cuts and mow slowly. • Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week and east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn. CAUTION: Do not attempt to unclog the blade chamber by dropping or tapping the mower on the ground. This can damage the mower. DISCHARGING (AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION AT EXTRA COST) The mower, with optional discharge chute, can be used to discharge grass clippings back to the lawn. 1. Discharging may be necessary if the grass is too long to mulch or the bag fills too quickly. 2. Clippings may be further dispersed, if needed, by blowing them with a yard blower. 3. In heavy grass conditions, a narrower pass may be required BAGGING It is recommended to bag the clippings for the first few spring mowings and the last mowing of the season to discourage diseases. 1. Bagging the clipping is sometimes preferred to reduce tracking of clippings into pools, hot tubs, and homes. 2. Clippings can be added to your compost bin and used later for a natural fertilizer. CLEANING AND STORAGE DANGER: Be sure the mower is unplugged and the blade has stopped. Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the mower and inside of guard before storage. Store under cover. See MAINTENANCE section. Cleaning out the underside of the mower is done easiest immediately after mowing (ENSURE MOWER IS UNPLUGGED AND BLADE HAS STOPPED). A rag, crumpled newspaper or paper towels, can be used to wipe out caked clippings. Be careful of sharp edges of blade. A clean mowing deck improves the efficiency of the blade and maintains high performance. When cleaning, DO NOT immerse mower in water or squirt it with a hose or pressure washe...
