Mowing
WARNING!
Always observe the strictest safety procedures when
using the lawn mower.
Start the engine and allow it to run.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle and stop/start bar; clutch
the propulsion lever, and walk along with it. Never run with the
mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
Maintain a stable footing.
Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°. If
mowing across slopes, never mow up and down. Be careful
when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.
NOTE:
The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet
grass will tend to clog the blade and the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year.
Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the
season or in drought conditions. Only about one third of the
grass height should be cut.
If the lawn mower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the
grass discharge chute may be blocked, the grass bag may be
full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
