Operating the Lawnmower
Step 3 - Mowing
WARNING!
Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower.
Carefully read the safety instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower.
Start the engine and allow it run .See ”Step-2 Starting the engine”
Before mowing, ensure the throttle lever is in its MAX position (Rabbit).
To stop the engine, release the stop / start bar.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle and walk, never run with the mower, be very careful when
mowing uneven or rough ground. Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more
than 15°.
The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the
grass collection system. Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year.
Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only
about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.
If the lawnmower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the grass discharge chute may be
blocked. The grass bag may be full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
