the blade .
Tighten down and please check that the blade
is firmly secured.
7. To store the spanner insert it into the rear of
the switchbox (See I). Do not put it in grass.
Warning! Spacers must only be fitted be-
tween the blade and the fan and NEVER be-
tween the blade and the bolt.
HOW TO MOW
NOTE:
•
Cut grass when it is dry.
•
Keep the mower blade sharp and bal-
anced.
•
Do not set the cutting height too low,
especially at the beginning of the mowing
season.
•
For best grass collection always mow
in a straight line, do not swing the lawn-
mower from side to side.
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to
the power point so the cable is laid out on the
lawn you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing sea-
son, you lawn will suffer if more than a
third of its length is cut at one time and this
may also result in poor collection.
Warning: Do not overload your mow-
er. When mowing do not allow the
motor to labour particularly in heavy con-
ditions. When the motor labours the speed
of the motor drops and you will hear a
change in the motor sound, when this oc-
curs stop mowing, release the switch le-
ver and raise the height of cut. Failure to
do so could damage the machine.
