Using Your lawn Mower
•
Do not operate the mower without the mulching
cover, the grass catcher bag, or the discharge
chute properly installed.
•
Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects which could damage lawn mower
or engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown
by the mower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
•
For best results, do not cut wet grass because it
tends to stick to the underside of the mower,
preventing proper discharge of grass clippings,
poor mulching conditions, and could cause you to
slip and fall. New grass, thick grass, or wet grass
may require a narrower cut.
•
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less
of the total length of the grass. Lawn should be
trimmed in fall as long as there is growth.
WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object,
stop the engine. Remove spark plug wire from
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for
any damage. Repair the damage before
restarting and operating the mower. Extensive
vibration of the mower during operation is an
indication of damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
Bagging Grass Clippings
You can use the grass catcher bag to collect clippings
while you are operating the mower. Attach the grass
catcher following instructions on page 8 of this manual.
The grass clippings will automatically collect in the bag
as you run the mower. Operate the mower until the
grass bag is full. Do NOT allow the bag to overfill with
grass clippings.
•
Stop the engine completely by releasing the control
handle.
•
Make sure that the unit has come to a complete
stop.
•
Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away
from the mower to dispose of the grass clippings
