SECTION 1: FINDING YOUR MODEL NUMBER
This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new walk behind. It will help you assemble, prepare and
maintain your walk behind. Please read and understand what it says.
Before you start to prepare your walk behind for its first use, please locate the model plate and copy the
information from it in this Operator’s Manual. The information on the model plate is very important if you need
help from your dealer or customer support department.
Every walk behind has a model plate. You can locate it by standing behind the unit in the operating
position and looking down at the rear of the deck.
SECTION 2: UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE UNIT FROM CARTON
Remove staples, break glue on top flaps, or
cut tape at carton end and peel along top flap
to open carton.
Remove loose parts if included with unit (i.e.,
owner’s manual, etc.).
Cut along dotted lines and lay carton down
flat.
Remove packing material.
Roll or slide unit out of carton. Check carton
thoroughly for loose parts.
DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE
Before setting up your lawn mower, disconnect the
spark plug wire from the spark plug, and ground it
against the engine by attaching rubber boot to a bolt
or metal clip to the grounding post on the engine.
