mower. They contain important safety, operating,
and maintenance information.
Unfold the handle
• Turn the knobs (A, Figure 1) on either
side of the lower handle 1/4 turn to
retract the locking pins.
• Raise the lower handle, aligning it with
one of the three sets of holes in the
handle bracket (most users will prefer
the middle position).
• Turn the knobs to release the locking
pins and secure the lower handle.

Set up the recoil rope handle
• Hold the bail control against the handle, and pull the recoil
rope handle out to the rope guide (A, Figure 2) on the
handle. Hook the recoil rope into the rope guide (it might
be a tight fit).
Add oil and fuel

entire contents of the supplied oil container to
the engine. Replace the oil fill cap.
IMPORTANT Mower is shipped without oil in
engine. Failure to add oil will result in engine
damage.
• Remove the fuel fill cap (B). Add clean, fresh,
UNLEADED fuel with a minimum of 87 octane,
leaving one inch of space from the top of the
tank for fuel expansion.
IMPORTANT Fuel tank holds less than 1/2 gallon.
IMPORTANT DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
• Replace the fuel fill cap, and wipe up any spills.
