2.

 

Set the height, using the scale on the back of the roller arms, to the 
same setting on both sides and re-tighten the black knobs. The 
mower is now ready to mow at the desired height setting. 
 

   

 

 

STARTING AND OPERATION 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

NORMAL MOWING 

 
To obtain a clean cut, push the mower in straight lines (passes) at a 
deliberate walking pace. Overlap the passes to even the cut and to 
avoid any uncut strips. 

 

MOWING USING THE GRASS CATCHER (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY) 
 

The grass catcher collects the clippings as it mows. It attaches at the 
grass catcher hooks on the mower and by the strap to the mower 
handle. Mow using the same procedure as for normal mowing (above).  

 

WARNING 

 

Before starting the mower, check within the blade area for any 
foreign objects and remove them.

 

 

Do not operate the mower on areas other than turf surfaces.  
The mower should be sitting on its wheels on a level part of the 
lawn before starting operation.
