Operating the Lawnmower
Step 3 - Mowing (continued)
3a
3b
Mowing with mulching
When mulching, remove the collection grass bag(3a), and put the plastic mulching plug into the
rear discharge chute(3b).Then release the flap, it will close back to cover the mulching plug.
NOTE!
To ensure that the cut grass can be mulched efficiently, do not cut high or wet grass.
WARNING!
- Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower.
- Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet.
Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
- Before you remove the grass bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade stops completely.
- Always empty the grass bag when you have finished the mowing, even if it is not full. Stored
grass residues are a fire hazard.
Operating the Lawnmower
Step 2 - Starting the Engine (continued)
Failure to start
If the engine won’t start after you have operated the key several times, the engine may be
flooded with excess fuel.
Use following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine:
A. Release the stop/start bar.
B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it .
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated, tighten
1/8 to 1/4 turn with socket spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.
C. Pull the stop/start bar towards the upper handle.
D. Operate the starter as described above.
Step 3 - Mowing
Mowing with grass bag (Be sure to remove the side discharge chute and take
out the mulching plug)
Start the engine and allow it run. See ”Step-2 Starting the engine”
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with stop/start bar and walk bar closed and walk along with it
self-propelling, 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°.
NOTE!
- The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the
grass collection system.
- 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. Grass grows at different rates at different time
of the year.
- 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.
Step 4 - Emptying the Grass Bag
- Raise the discharge flap with one hand and remove the grass bag using its handle with your other
hand. To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close back to cover the mulching plug, when you
release the flap.
- Empty the grass debris in the grass collection bag and refit grass collection bag. If any grass
residues are caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush.
3c
Mowing with side discharge
When using side discharge to throw grass, remove the grass collection bag(3a) and insert the
mulching plug (3b).
- Raise the side safety flap with one hand, and hook the side discharge chute onto the mower
using the hand. (3c)
- Release the safety flap. (3d)
NOTE!
To ensure that the cut grass can be scattered efficient, do not cut high or wet grass.
