FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
First clear the lawn of debris
: Be sure that the grass is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects, which could be accidentally
thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and
surrounding objects.
Avoid cutting wet grass:
For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck
preventing proper mowing of the grass.
General Recommendations:
Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass.
Ground speed will need to be adjusted to aid the even distribution of clippings onto the lawn.
For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well
mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length
for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass
will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn.
The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing.
Clean underside of deck:
Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which
could prevent proper mulching.
WARNING:
If the mower blade strikes a foreign object, stop the engine immediately. Remove the wire from the spark
plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive
vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of serious damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
7.7 GRASS CATCHER
Only when the engine is completely stopped and the blades have stopped rotating
There is a transparent window on the rear cover which you can see the grass condition in the grass catcher. (Fig. 11A)
If the grass catcher is full, you will need to empty and clean the grass catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is
ventilated.
