Operating Tips
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches,
and other debris that the blade could hit.
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire
from the spark plug, and examine the mower for
damage.
•
For best performance, install a new blade before
the cutting season begins.
•
Replace the blade when necessary with a
Lawn-Boy replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
•
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a
time. Do not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting
unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when
grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to
Adjusting the Cutting Height on page 7.
•
When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk
slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the
best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the
mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.
