Removing, Emptying and Refitting the Grassbox
How to Mow
Adjusting the Cutting Height
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could
cause injury. USE GLOVES. Never use more than 3
Cutting Height Spacers. Spacers must only be fitted
between the blade and the fan and NEVER between the
blade and the bolt.
1. Remove the blade bolt, and blade as described in
Removing the Blade and Fan.
2. For a Lower Cut - Add spacers to a maximum of 3.
3. For a Higher Cut - Take spacers away.
4. Refit the blade as described in Fitting the Blade and
Fan.
5. For a healthy lawn, we recommend that you do not
cut below 25mm (Use more than 2 spacers).
6. Always ensure the text ‘GRASS SIDE’ will be facing
the grass when the product is in the mowing position
(L).

Grassbox Full Indicator (if fitted)
•
Your lawnmower may be fitted with a vision window.
•
IMPORTANT
When the window is full it is time to empty the grass-
box.
Emptying the Grassbox
•
Stop the lawnmower, as described in ‘To Stop your
Lawnmower’ and wait until the blade has stopped ro-
tating, BEFORE lifting the grassbox lid.
1. Lift the grassbox lid and rest it against the motor cover
(J).
2. Remove the grassbox using the moulded handle re-
cesses at the front and rear of the grassbox. (K).
3. Empty grassbox.
4 Replace grassbox and lid carefully.
•
Failure to fit the grassbox and grassbox lid correctly
will cause poor collection of grass clippings.

1. For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first. (G1)
2. Then start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have
already cut. (G2)
3. For best grass collection always mow in a straight line (E), do not swing the lawnmower from side to side (F)
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the
motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass
a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Adjusting the Cutting Height.
Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn
will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one
time and this may also result in poor collection.
