ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE (FIGURE 2A)

and 1 plastic parts bag.
2. Fasten the upper and lower handle halves together using the eye
bolts (already installed on the power and flip cords) and the
handle knobs from the plastic bag. Make sure the power cord
and switch are on the same side of the mower as the
discharge area and that the flip locking mechanism is on the
opposite side. There are three holes on the upper handle, this
allows the handle height to be set in three positions. Choose the
hole that best suits your overall height. Install the eye bolts to the
outside of the handles so that the knobs are on the inside. Tighten
the knobs securely.

and the discharge chute is in place (discharging). No further
assembly steps are required if you are mulching. PROCEED TO
