CAUTION:
your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 250mm.
Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the
mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.
6.6 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
Clear lawn of debris
: Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects, which could be accidentally thrown
out by the mower in any direction and cause serious injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and
surrounding objects.
Avoid cutting 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.
General Recommendations:
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 the underside of the deck:
Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck 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 the mower blade strikes a foreign object, then stop the engine. Remove the wire from spark plug, 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 serious damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
6.7 GRASS CATCHER
Empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated to improve airflow and grass collection.

6.8 DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other
matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be
cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
6.9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Do not at any time make any adjustment to the lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting
the spark plug wire.
CAUTION:
before changing the mowing height, stop the mower and disconnect spark plug cable.
Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 10 height positions.
