to provide nutrients to the lawn.
Please review the following recommendations
for optimum mulching performance.
1) Avoid mowing when the grass is
wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may
form clumps which interfere with the
mulching action and reduce runtime.
The best time to mow grass is in
the late afternoon when the grass is
dry and the newly cut area will not
be exposed to direct sunlight.
2) For best mulching performance, set
the cutting height to remove about one
third of the grass blade length, ideally
no more than 1.5 inch at one time.
If the lawn is overgrown, it may be
necessary to increase the cut height to
reduce the pushing effort and prevent
overloading the motor. For extremely
heavy mulching, it is advisable to first
cut at a high cut height setting, and then
re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise,
make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
NoTE:
The motor is protected by a safety
cut out which is activated when the
blade becomes jammed or if the motor
is overloaded
. The safety cut out will
only reset when the safety bail 2 is
released. Clear any obstruction and
wait for a few minutes for the safety
cut out to reset before continuing
to use the mower. at this time do
not operate the safety bail 2 as this
will prolong the reset time of the
safety cut out. if the mower cuts
out again increase the height of cut
to reduce the load on the motor.
3) For best performance, keep the mower
housing free of built-up grass. From time
to time turn off mower and wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop. Then
unplug the safety key and turn mower on
its side. Using an object such as a stick,
wipe out any accumulation of grass in
the blade area. Be careful of the sharp
edges of the blade. Clean often in wet,
new grass, and always after every use.
4) Certain types of grass or grass
conditions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to fully disperse
the grass throughout the lawn.
If cutting a second time, it is advisable
to cut perpendicular (across) the first
cut pattern. DO NOT CHANGE CUT
PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD
CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from
week to week. This will help prevent
matting and graining of the lawn.
MAINTENANCE
warNiNg: Stop the mower
and remove the safety key
before removing the grass bag.
NoTE:
To ensure long and reliable service,
perform the following maintenance
procedures regularly. Check for obvious
defects such as a loose, dislodged or a
damaged blade, loose fittings, and worn
or damaged components. Check that the
covers and guards are all undamaged and
are correctly attached to mower. Carry
out any necessary maintenance or repairs
before operating mower. If the mower
should happen to fail despite regular
maintenance, please call our customer
helpline for advice, 1-866-354-9679.
bladE SharPENiNg
KEEP THE BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT
CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION
WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING,
AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE
THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufficient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED
BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
whEN SharPENiNg ThE bladE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen the blade at the
original cutting angle.
