Tips:
When collecting debris for the optimum performance set the height of cut just
above the grass height.
For best results adjust the height of cut on a flat level surface.
Because of the high vacuum effect created by the blades it may be necessary
to set the height of cut to be greater than normal then gradually reduce to
meet the desired cut height.

Pull back the blade engagement lever so

forward, wait for 3 seconds to allow the
blades to reach full speed.
