Height Adjustment
For height adjustment proceeds as fol-
lows:
Warning:
Stop, release switch lever and
wait until
the motor stops. The blades continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the machine
is switch off, a rotating blade can cause
injury.
For the first cut of the season, a high cutting
adjustment should be selected.
This machine can be set to five height of cut.
I=25mm II=35mm III=45mm IV=55mm
V=65mm
• Pull Height adjustment lever to the broad
-
side.
•Push the adjustment lever to the front or
back.
• When the adjustment lever is in the front,
it is at the highest setting, when in the back,
the height is the lowest.
Note: For long grass, start mowing with the
highest setting and then gradually reduce the
height of cut.
Warning:
When mowing, do not allow the
motor to labor, particularly in heavy condi-
tions.
When the motor labors the revolutions of the
motor will drop and you will hear a change
in the motor sound. When this occurs stop
mowing, release the switch lever and raise
the height of cut. Failure to
do so could damage the machine.
NOTE:
The motor is protected by a safety
cut–out switch which is activated when
the blade becomes jammed or if the motor
is overloaded. When cut-out occurs, stop
mowing and disconnect the lawn mower
from the power supply. Clear any obstruc-
tion and wait for a few minutes for the safety
cut out switch to reset before continuing to
use the mower. If the mower cuts out again
increase the height of cut to reduce the load
on the motor.
NOTE:
The temperature of the motor will rise
quickly,
if the lawn mower frequently jams. If the
motor overheats, the safety cut out switch
will operate and will cut off the power. If this
occurs, you will need to disconnect the lawn
mower from the power supply and wait for
it to cool down completely. You will need
to wait for approximately 1 hour before you
can start using the mower again.
Blade Replacement
• Switch off the lawnmower and disconnect
from the mains supply.
• Before replacing the blade it is advisable
to thoroughly clean the underside of the
machine.
• Always wear work gloves when replac
-

fitted. Hold the blade firmly with one hand
and using the spanner to remove the blade
securing bolt anticlockwise.
Remove the blade and thoroughly clean the
area around the shaft.
• To attach the new blade (QT3041
400mm), align the blade onto the drive shaft
ensuring that the mark on the blade is on the
outside and the two studs on the back of the
fan are located into the corresponding two
holes in the blade. Tighten blade securing
bolt clockwise, do not over tighten.
Check to ensure the blade is located cor-
rectly before using the lawnmower.
