FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could
be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator
and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective
mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing
of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3
the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into
the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in
order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes,
lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than
was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings
left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the
most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck
11
after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The
mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are
not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the motor. Pull out the battery power, thoroughly inspect
the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive
vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected
and repaired.
