Assembly

Note: Determine left and right hand sides of
the unit by standing in the normal
operator's position.

Handle

1. The mower is shipped from the factory with
filler between the upper and lower handle joints
to prevent shipping and assembly damage. Align
upper and lower handles and remove the filler
with a pliers.
2. The left handle knob is shipped from the factory
on the outside of the handle (Fig. 2). Remove the
left knob and bolt. Reinstall knob and bolt on
inside of handle (Fig. 3). Both handle knobs
should be positioned on the inside of the
handles. Tighten handle knobs.
3. Move handle latches slightly outward so they
will not be in the way when pivoting the handle
backward into the operating position (Fig. 3).
4. Pivot handle backward. Move handle latches
inward while snapping handle stud into center
hole of handle latch (Fig. 3). If a handle latch
does not fit tightly against the handle tube,
remove latch from handle stud, bend the latch
inward, and reattach to handle stud. Repeat as
necessary to ensure a tight fit between latch and
handle. Make sure handle knobs are securely
tightened.
Note: If handle height is not satisfactory,
adjust by placing handle stud into a
different hole.
5. Ensure control cables are to the rear and inside
of handles. Secure cables to handle with cable
ties (Fig. 3).

Before Starting

Oil

Fill crankcase with SAE 30 or 10W30 oil until oil
level reaches FULL mark on dipstick as shown in
(Fig. 5). The maximum crankcase capacity is 22
ounces (0.65 liters) of oil. Use any high quality
detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute
(API) "service classification" — SF, SG, SH or SJ.
Before each use, ensure oil level is between FULL
and ADD marks on dipstick (Fig. 5). Add oil if level
is low.
1. Position mower on level surface and clean
around oil dipstick (Fig. 5).
2. Remove dipstick by rotating cap
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
3. Wipe dipstick and insert it into filler neck.
Rotate cap clockwise 1/4 turn. Then remove
dipstick and check level of oil on side of dipstick
with FULL and ADD marks (Fig. 5). If level is
low, add only enough oil to raise level to FULL
mark on dipstick. DO NOT FILL ABOVE
FULL MARK BECAUSE ENGINE COULD
BE DAMAGED WHEN STARTED. POUR
OIL SLOWLY.
4. Insert dipstick into filler neck and rotate cap
clockwise 1/4 turn to lock.
Note: Check oil level each time mower is
used or after every 5 operating hours.
Initially, change oil after the first 5
hours of operation; thereafter, change
oil after every 50 hours of operation.
More frequent oil changes are required
in dusty or dirty conditions.
