How to Mow
K
1.
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. (

)
2.
Cut your grass twice a week during the growing
season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of
its length is cut at one time.
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.
