5.7 ADVICE ON HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT

1.

To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance, it should be cut regularly

without damaging the grass.

2.

It is always better to cut the grass when dry.

3.

The blade must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass is cut

straight without any ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.

4.

The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to get the

necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector channel.

5.

The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass, which

should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.

6.

During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the ground

from drying out.

7.

If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty four hour period. The first time

at maximum cutting height, possibly reducing the cutting width and the second cut at
the height desired.

8.

The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cutting in both directions.

9.

If the collector channel tends to get blocked with grass, you should reduce the forward

speed since this may be too high for the condition of the lawn. If the problem persists,
the probable causes are either the badly sharpened blade or deformed wings.

10.

Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs since these could distort the

horizontal position of the cutting deck, and damage its edge as well as the blade.

2

6.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Disconnect the spark plug cap, remove the key (in the

electric start models) or shift the accelerator lever to «OFF» (in the manual start
models) and read the relevant instructions before starting any cleaning,
maintenance or repairs. Wear suitable clothing and strong gloves for dismantling
and refitting the blade and in all other hazardous situations for the hands.
