steps
S1-S3
.
1. Remove the wheel by turning the wheel hub in an
anticlockwise direction
(S1)
and relocate in new hole
(S2)
turning the wheel hub in a clockwise direction to
tighten
(S3)

2. Form loop in mains cable and push the loop through
the slot as illustrated in picture
(M)
3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull the cable
back through the slot as illustrated in picture
(N)
.
4. Connect plug to mains and switch on.

the lawnmower and to reduce the risk of lawn dam-
age whilst starting.
The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button
(P1) to prevent accidental starting.

(P)
on the switch-
box, then squeeze one of the Start/Stop levers

intermittently
To Stop Your Lawnmower.
1. Release the pressure of the Start/Stop lever
How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so that the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut
(R)
.
2. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn
will suffer if more that one third of its length is cut at
one time and this may also result in poor collection.
• Please Note
Do not overload your Lawnmower
When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting
height adjusted to its highest setting,
(see Cutting Height
Adjustment)
, will help reduce motor overload and will help
prevent damage to your lawnmower.
