How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to
the power point so the cable is laid out on the
lawn you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season,
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its
length is cut at one time
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor
speed to drop, you will hear a change in the
motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may
overload your lawnmower which may cause
damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first
cut with the cutting height set higher will help
reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
