WARNING! Make sure the lawn mower’s engine is

side of the cutting deck. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1
2. While holding the discharge chute with your left hand,
remove the shipping brace with your right hand by
grasping it between your thumb and index finger and
rotating it clockwise.
WARNING! The shipping brace is used for
packaging purposes only. Remove and discard the
shipping brace before operating your lawn mower.
WARNING! The mowing deck is capable of
throwing objects. Failure to operate the mower
without the discharge cover in the proper operating
position could result in serious personal injury and/
or property damage.

2. Make certain the hold-down rod is in position over the
battery, securing it in place and make certain that the red
rubber boot covers the positive battery terminal to help
protect it from corrosion.
