Before any inspection, maintenance or cleaning of the mower is
conducted.

adjustment lever, the air filter in the cowl and the underside of the mower
deck.
2. Ensure the grass collection bag is empty, and inspect for signs of
damage.
3. Check the condition of the rear deflector, along with the mower deck.

ATTACHING THE GRASS COLLECTION BOX (Fig.4)
1. Ensure that the grass collection box has been assembled correctly.
2. Lift the rear deflector (8) on the mower deck.
3. Pass the collection box under the handlebar, align the attachment
hooks and place the collection box into position.
4. Lower the rear deflector, so that it now rests on the grass collector box.
OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
NOTE: Stop, release switch lever and wait until the motor stops before
adjusting height. The blades continue to rotate for a few seconds after the
machine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury.
For the first cut of the season, a high cutting adjustment should be
selected.
The cutting height can be selected among 20mm, 40mm, or 60mm by
adjusting the front and rear wheels.
Front wheel adjustment (Fig.5)
Pull the front wheel axle on either side of the mower deck in turn and
relocate it in the required position.
Rear wheel adjustment (Fig.6)
Pull the rear wheel axle along the slot and lift the wheel, then relocate it in
the required position.
OPERATION
MOWING
Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as close to the power point
as possible. Work away from the power point.
Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at the end of each turn.
WARNING: When mowing do not allow the motor to labour
particularly in heavy conditions. When the motor labours the
speed of the motor drops and you will hear a change in the
motor sound, when this occurs stop mowing, release the switch
lever and raise the height of cut.
Failure to do so could damage the machine.
HEAVY GROWTH
1. Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the
clippings.
2. If collection is required, firstly mow the area using the maximum cutting
height setting, without the grass collection bag attached.
3. Allow the clippings to dry out.
4. Attach the grass collection bag and mow the area, again using the
maximum cutting height setting.
5. Progressively lower the cutting height setting and mow the area again
until the required finish is obtained.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the grass, do not remove more than
one third of the grass’s height on any one cut.
NOTE: When the blade becomes jammed or if the motor is
overloaded, remove the plug from the power supply.
Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes before
continuing to use the mower
