OPERATING THE MOWER
SAFETY NOTICE Continued
WARNING:PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Before mowing,
thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign
objects, which when contacted by the mower cutterbar could
become dangerous projectiles.
Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which when con-
tacted by the cutterbar could risk health and safety. Remem-
ber the location of these obstructions and ensure that you
mow around them.
HEIGHT OF CUT
To adjust the height of cut: Hold the trigger against the handle and
raise or lower the mower using the handle to achieve the desired
cut height. Release the trigger to secure the mower at the required
position.
There are seven height of cut positions. The setting is indicated by
the position of the connecting rod relative to the height of cut
indicator.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim to
prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts
in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the
grass is long.
Auto Drive model only: When changing height of cut it is some-
times necessary to re-adjust the clutch cable, refer - "Mainte-
nance; Clutch cable adjustment."
CAUTION: Prevent engine damage - DO NOT use the mow-
er on a slope greater than 20 degrees.
