Lane Shark LS-3

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Cutting Grass or Vegetation
 

The Lane Shark is designed to cut all types of grass and light 

vegetation around ponds, road sides, and ditches. To cut grass or light 
vegetation place the Lane Shark approximately 1-2 inches above the ground 
and slowly drive forward while keeping attention to the cutting path to 
make sure no foreign objects are obstructing the path of the Lane Shark.
 

Overheating: 

The motor on the Lane Shark is not designed to withstand 

continuous stalling. If the motor is continuously stalled while operating 
you may cause the unit to overheat. Avoid stalling the unit as much as 
possible. If the unit does overheat, allow it to cool fully before 
resuming operation.
