ASSEMBLY INSTALLING THE GRASS CATCHER (FOR REAR BAGGING OPERATION) See Figures 6 - 7. NOTE: When using the grass catcher, do not install the mulching plug. Remove the start key and battery pack. Place the grass catcher onto the mower so the opening on the grass catcher covers the rear discharge opening and the grass catcher's metal locks are inside the slots on the mower housing. Gently push down on the grass catcher to ensure the metal locks are fully seated in the slots. The mower will not start if the metal locks are not fully seated. Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are ready to mow. INSTALLING THE MULCHING PLUG (FOR MULCHING OPERATION) See Figure 8. NOTE: When using the mulching plug, do not install the grass catcher. Remove the start key and battery pack. Insert the mulching plug into the mower's rear discharge opening and place the mulching plug's metal lock into the slot on the right side of the mower housing. Gently push down on the mulching plug to ensure the metal lock is fully seated in the slot. The mower will not start if the metal lock is not fully seated. Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are ready to mow. SETTING BLADE HEIGHT See Figure 9. When shipped, the blade on the mower is set to a low-cutting position. Before using the mower for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The average lawn should be between 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. during cool months and between 2 in. and 3-1/4 in. during hot months. To adjust the blade height: Remove start key and battery pack. To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever and move it toward the back of the mower.
