power consumption and prolonged life for the cutting edges. Carry out the following procedures
before commencing work and re-check the settings every 2 to 3 hours of mowing or when the
cutting performance is noticeably reduced. During mowing, the blade tips can move relative to
the mower body through normal work or by hitting obstructions. Check that the cutting blade(s)
is correctly set to the mower body by measuring the distance the blades are inside the
lawnmower skirt, this distance should nominally be 3 mm. Disconnect the spark plug cable and
carefully rotate the blade by hand and check that the distance is nominally correct all around the
mower body. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows
Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
Rotate the blade(s) until it is accessible from the rear flap area.
Re-fit the spark plug cable.
If it is impossible to obtain a good clean cut, it may be necessary to take the mower to your local
Service Agent to have a new set of blades fitted.
Grass catcher:
Your rotary lawnmower can be operated with
the grass catcher fitted, or removed as a
utility mower.
Note that if the lawnmower is used with the
catcher removed, the rear flap must be fitted and located in the down / closed position. To fit the
grass catcher, stop the engine and position the catcher on the ground behind the mower. Raise
the rear flap and lift the catcher into position ensuring the catcher tongue is located over the
rear axle. Slide the catcher forward and upward; lower the flap so that the lugs on the flap locate
into the square holes on top of the catcher. Your catcher is now attached.
