THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE OR OPERATE YOUR LAWN MOWER
Do I have a side or rear discharge lawn mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on your mower. If the
opening is on the right side of the mower housing, it is a side
discharge mower. If the opening is at the back of the mower
housing, it is a rear discharge mower. Only rear discharge
lawn mowers have a grass catcher included with the
mower. Approved grass catchers for side discharge mow-
ers may be purchased from your nearest authorized dealer.
Do I have a mulching lawn mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on your mower.
Raise the discharge guard (rear door on rear discharge
mowers). If the opening is closed off by a plate, then your
lawn mower is mulcher ready. To convert to a discharging
mower, see the Operation section of this manual.
What is the right and left side of the lawn mower?
When right hand (RH) or left hand (LH) is mentioned in this
manual, it means when you are in the operating position
(standing behind the handle).
