- Make sure to press the manual STOP button before performing the following procedure.
CAUTION:
- Avoid cutting too much at once. Mow gradually step by step (from level 5 to 1.)
- Avoid cutting more than 0.2 in (5 mm) of grass at once. If you want to cut more than 0.2 in (5 mm),
it should be done gradually in steps of 0.2 in (5 mm) maximum per week. Example: decreasing from
2.0 in (50 mm) to 1.2 in (30 mm) should require 4 weeks with 0.2 in (5 mm) steps.
