3. To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are 

on the ground and be careful not to loose your footing 

or control of the mower. Be very careful when mowing 

uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle 

bar at all times, always walk, never run with the mower. 

4. For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. 

This can cause damage to the grass and allow weeds to 

develop. 

5. Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will 

help to prevent matting and graining of the grass. 

6. Before checking a clogged mower deck stop the engine 

completely and disconnect the spark plug cover and 

then tilt the mower so the air filter side is facing 

upwards. Use a stick the clear any clogged material, 

never use your hands. 

7. Mowing wet grass should be avoided. Wet grass will 

clog the mower deck and if it is slippery you may loose 

your footing. 

8. Always mow across slopes not up and down them. Be 

extra careful if the grass is wet as this could cause you 

to slip and loose control of the mower. 

9. If the ground is to dry, mowing will stir up a lot of 

dust which may clog the air filter. In these conditions 

it is recommended to water your lawn the day before 

mowing. 

10. Use the side of the mower as a guide to cut close to 

large objects such as a fence or a wall. Be careful 

when mowing over obstacles embedded in the lawn 

such as sprinkler systems and paving, avoid anything 

that sticks up above the surface of the lawn. 

11. Avoid mowing over loose stones, gravel and other 

landscaping material as this can be picked up by the 

mower and flung out causing serious personal injury. 

12. If the blades do come into contact with something 

or the mower starts to vibrate stop the engine 

immediately, remove the spark plug cover and inspect 

to see if there is any damage. 

Emptying the grass catcher bag

Note.

 Before making any adjustment or maintenance 

procedures to the mower ensure it is turned off and the 

spark plug cover is removed.
1. To remove the catcher, raise the discharge guard, grab 

the catcher by the handle and lift it off the bar. 

2. Empty the grass from the catcher by holding it vertical, 

shake it if necessary to dislodge the full contents. 

Grass catcher maintenance
Warning.

 Check the catcher bag frequently for damage or 

wear, and replace it if worn. 
The fabric grass catcher requires air to flow through the 

fabric for effective grass collection. 
Wash it if necessary to restore the open mesh in the fabric. 
Do not leave the fabric bag in direct sunlight, prolonged 

sun exposure can cause permanent breakdown of the 

material. 
Do not leave clippings in the catcher for extended periods. 

Replacing the blades 

Note.

 Before making any adjustment or maintenance 

procedures to the mower ensure it is turned off and the 

spark plug cover is removed. 

Note.

 Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands. 

1. Tilt the mower back so the spark plug is facing up. 

2. Remove the blade disc with a spanner to remove the 

central blade bolt first. 

3. Remove all 4 single blades including the washer and nuts.
