Never use the lowest cutting height for
the first cut of the season or in drought
conditions. Only about one thirds of the
grass height should be cut.
If the lawnmower will not collect the
cuttings efficiently, the grass discharge
chute may be blocked. The grass bag may
be full, or the underside of the mower deck
may be clogged.
10. EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
Important!
Before you remove the
grass collection bag, stop the engine
and wait the blade stops completely.
1). To remove the grass collection bag,
raise the discharge flap with one hand and
remove the grass bag using its handle with
your other hand.
2). To maintain safety, the discharge flap
will close back to cover the rear discharge
chute, when you release the flap.
3). Empty the grass debris in the grass
collection bag, and refit grass collection
bag.
4). If any grass residues are caught in the
discharge chute, clean it using a brush.
5). Do not remove grass debris in the
mower casing or on the blade by hand or
with your feet. Instead use suitable tools
such as a brush or broom.
6). To ensure that the cut grass can be
collected into grass collection bag, the
discharge opening and inside the mower
casing must be cleared of any blockage.
Always empty the grass bag when you
have finished the mowing, even if it is
not full. Stored grass residues are a fire
hazard.
11. REPLACING THE BLADE (SEE FIG. H)
Maintain the sharpness of the blade
when cutting grass. If the blade has worn
excessively and become pitted and blunt,
it should be replaced or sharpened. The
sharpness of the blade will affect the
performance of the lawnmower.
For safety reasons we recommend
that the blade will only be changed by
persons qualified and authorized to do
so.
WARNING!
before replacing the
blade, ensure that the engine is
switched off and the spark plug cap is
disconnected and moved away from the
spark plug.
1) You will need garden gloves (not
provided) and a spanner wrench to
remove the blade.
2) Hold the blade and unscrew the blade
bolt counterclockwise using a spanner
wrench. Remove the washer and the
blade.
3) Fit a new blade or re-sharpen the blade,
locate the blade on the two studs on the
blade flange and then replace the washer
and bolts. Make sure the blade is correctly
located, then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not
over tighten.
The up turn of the blade must project into
the motor compartment.
Always handle the blade with care-sharp
edges could cause injury USE GLOVES.
Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs
mowing or 2yrs which ever is sooner
regardless of condition.
If the blade is cracked or damaged replace
it with a new one.
MAINTENANCE
1. CLEANING
To ensure the best performance of your
lawnmower, it is important to keep it clean.
Always clean your lawnmower immediately
after use. Do not allow grass cuttings and
other debris to become dry and hard on
any of the mower surface. This will directly
affect the cutting and grass collection
performance. Make sure that the underside
of the lawnmower deck is clean and clear.
