You must turn off the engine when you are moving
between work areas.
Never leave this machine unattended.
Be careful not to touch the hot parts of the
machine while the engine is running or after
use, such as exhaust, spark plug or high voltage cables.
Do not use other accessories this machine except
those recommended by our company since its use
could cause severe damage to the user, people close
to the machine and the machine itself.
Always follow the safety rules given in this manual.
7.1. HOLDING AND GUIDING THE MACHINE
While working, always hold the
lawnmower with both hands on the
handlebar.
Stand behind the mower and direct
it while walking behind it.
This lawnmower is self-propelled. Do not push the
mower; allow it to continue at its speed and limit
yourself to directing the machine in the work area.
7.2. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
WARNING! Stop the machine and wait until the
blade stops before proceeding to adjust the height.
Blades need a few moments to stop completely after
you turn off the engine.
To regulate the cutting height
adjustment, press the mower level
away from the lawnmower and
move it forward or backward to
the desired height.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
This mower has 3 different cut settings (cutting with
debris collection, with lateral discharge and mulching
cut. Before you begin working, you must configure the
mower to set it one of the three possible ways.
Cutting with debris collection:
In this setting, the mower will cut the grass and send
it to the collector bag. The grass will be cut and
the rest of grass cut within the bag. For the debris
collection setting, place the bag in the back of the
machine and make sure that the lateral outlet cover is
closed and the mulching plug is not installed.
Cutting with lateral discharge:
In this setting, the cut grass exits the side of the
lawnmower and the grass debris remains on the
lawn. In this case the machine must not have the
bag installed, the rear output cover should be closed,
and the mulching plug and lateral deflector must be
installed.
Mulching cut:
In this setting the mowed grass will be on the lawn,
but unlike the lateral discharge cutting setting, the cut
grass is crushed into small particles that are deposited
on the lawn thus generating an organic fertilizer that
