the parts bag (see Figure 15). Do not discard
any parts or material until the unit is assembled.
WARNING: Before doing any
assembly or maintenance to the
mower, remove the wire from the
spark plug.
NOTE: Torque is measured in foot pounds
(metric N.m). This measurement describes
how tight a nut or bolt must be. The torque is
measured with a torque wrench.
TOOLS REQUIRED
1
Pliers
2
Adjustable open end wrenches
1
Blade type screwdriver
1
Phillips screwdriver
Handle Assembly
1. (Figure 1) Attach each side of the lower
handle (1) to the mower housing (2)
with bolts (3) and nuts (4).
CAUTION: Rotate blade to remove
sharp edges away from work
areas. Use gloves.

to the lower handle with
b
and nuts (2).
How To Assemble The Controls To The
Handle
NOTE: A cable that is bent or damaged will
not work correctly. Before you use the unit,
replace a damaged cable.
1. (Figure 4) Mount the ends of the engine
stop lever (1) into the bottom set of
holes in the upper handle (2).
WARNING: Do not install the engine
stop lever into the top set of holes.
2. Attach the engine stop cable (5) to the han-
dle (2).
3. Attach the engine stop cable (5) to the en-
gine stop lever (1).
4. (Figure 3) Attach the engine stop cable (1)

freely. If the engine stop cable (1) does not
move freely, repeat the above steps.
6. (Figure 4) Attach the engine stop cable (5)
to the handle with the cable fasteners (6).
CAUTION: If a cable fastener is missing, a
cable can be too near the muffler. Heat
from the muffler can damage the cable.
Before you use the unit, replace a missing
cable fastener.
7. (Figure 5) Attach the recoil- -start grip (1)
and rope to the right or left side of the handle
with the rope guide (2). Fasten with a lock-
nut (3).
NOTE: If you cannot attach the recoil- -start
grip because the rope is too short, hold the
engine stop lever against the handle. Slowly
pull the recoil- -start grip.
WARNING: The blade will rotate
when the engine runs.
How To Assemble The Wheels And Axle
Bolts (Figure 6)
1. To change the height of cut, change the posi-
tion of the axle bolts (1) on the mower
housing (2). Make sure you assemble each
axle bolt (1) in the same hole position so
that the mower will cut level.
2. Assemble the wheel (3) to the mower hous-
ing (2) with an axle bolt (1), washer (4),
and flange nut (5). To tighten, turn the axle
bolt (1). Do not turn the flange nut (5).

wheels and all pivot points with engine oil
every 25 hours.
2. To lubricate the engine, refer to the engine
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Do not lubricate the engine stop
cable. Lubricants will damage the cable and

3. Clean the top and the bottom of the mower
housing.
How To Adjust The Height Of Cut
WARNING: The blade will rotate
when the engine runs. Before you
change the height of cut, discon-
nect the wire to the spark plug.
