block (2) . Remove the extension tube (4) .
3. Attach the side discharge attachment or lower
the shredder cover and attach it with the two

Some tips...
1. For best results, checking the cutting level of
the cutting block is essential. See "Levelling the
cutting block" in the Maintenance section.
2. To make the cut even everywhere, ensure that
the tires are inflated as required.
3. At each use, check the blade. If it is bent or
defective, replace it immediately. Similarly,
make sure that the nut is tightened securely.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharp. Worn blades make
the grass blades brown.
5. If the grass is high, mow in half to reduce the
load on the engine. First mow by placing the
cutting block in the highest position, then lower
it for the second mowing.
6. Keep the accelerator in FAST position and the
gearshift lever in the first or second position.
7. To get a beautiful lawn, mow at the slowest
speeds.
8. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the
cutting block. Keeping it clean can also help
you prevent a fire.

nut or bolt. The torsion torque is measured
with a torque wrench.
