2.

Attach the grass bag to the frame with the quick-

action clips.

To change the product to bagging

mode

Rear bagging mode collects grass clippings in the

grass catcher.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the product

without the rear door closed or the

approved grass catcher in position. Do

not try to operate the product with the

rear door removed or open.

1.

Lift the rear door and put the grass catcher frame

hooks on the rear door pivot.

2.

Release the rear door and put it on top of the

grass bag frame.

3.

Remove the side discharging deflector, if

installed, and let the side discharge guard close.

Make sure that the side discharge door is tightly

closed against the product.

To change the product to mulching

mode

The mulching mode of the product makes grass

clippings smaller. The grass clippings then fall onto

the lawn and across the grass. Mulched grass

biodegrades quickly to give nutrients for the lawn.

1.

Lift the rear door and remove the grass bag, if

installed, and let the back shield close. Make

sure that the rear door is tightly closed against

the product.

2.

Remove the side discharging deflector, if

installed, and let the side discharge guard close.

Make sure that the side discharge door is tightly

closed against the product.

To change the product to side

discharging mode

The side discharging mode of the product is the best

cutting mode for a battery powered electrical mower.

If you try to cut a large quantity of grass and

experience bogging of the motor, or have decreased

operation time, change the product to side

discharging mode to increase performance and

operation time.

1.

Lift the rear door and remove the grass bag, if

installed.

2.

Let the rear door close. Make sure that the rear

door is tightly closed against the product.

3.

Open the side discharge guard and install the

side discharge deflector.

4.

Let the side discharge guard close against the

deflector. Make sure that the deflector is tightly in

position before you operate the product.

To set the cutting height

The cutting height can be adjusted to 5 (1-5)

different positions. Lift the wheels for a lower cut and

lower the wheels for a higher cut. The medium

position is best for most lawns.

Note:

The adjuster lever is spring

loaded.

1.

Squeeze the height adjuster lever in the direction

of the wheel.
