5. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is
straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that
all the lawn is cut without missing any spots (Fig. 20).

Mulching
NOTE:
Mulching means cutting and returning the grass clippings to the lawn in
onto the lawn. Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn.
1. Insert the mulching insert (27) into the rear discharge chute (24).
2. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps
which interfere with the mulching action and reduce runtime. The best time to mow
grass is late afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Set the cutting height to about one third of the grass blade length, ideally no more
than 35 mm at one time for best mulching performance. If the lawn is overgrown,
it may be necessary to increase the cutting height to reduce the pushing effort and
prevent the engine overloading. For extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable to
make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
4. Keep the housing free of built-up grass for best performance. From time to time
switch the product off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then
turn the product on its side. Using an object such as a wooden stick, remove any
accumulation of grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade.
Clean often after cutting new grass and after every use.
NOTE:
Sometimes fuel would leak from the fuel cap and carburettor. Keep the
fuel tank at top position to avoid it.
5. Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require an area to be mulched a
second time to fully disperse the grass across the lawn. When cutting a second time,
the cutting pattern in any way that would cause you to mow downhill.
6. Change your cutting pattern from week to week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.
After use
