GENERAL MOWING TIPS
■ When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the underside of
the deck and prevent proper collection or discharge of
grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.
■ If you wish to collect the grass cuttings for disposal,
remove the mulching plug and fit the grass catcher
making sure the top flap is properly closed. Empty the
grass catcher regularly, otherwise the discharge chute
will become blocked with grass cuttings.
■ If you are making a light cut and wish for the grass
cuttings to remain on the lawn, fit the mulching plug and
close the top flap to cover the discharge opening. It is
not necessary to fit the grass catcher in this case.
■ The mower is designed to operate and cut most
effectively when moving forwards.
