A high

pitched noise and sparking may occur as the electric motor decelerates. This is
normal.
Mowing Your Lawn
NOTE:
A sharp blade will greatly increase the performance of your mower, especially in
high grass conditions. Be sure to check the blade and sharpen it at least once a year as outlined
in the Maintenance section.
•
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires and other objects that could damage the
blades lawn mower or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
•
To prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or wet conditions.
•
Always
start
from
the point closest to the power
source
where the cord is connected. Never
mow in circles; always travel back and forth across the lawn, starting from the point closest to
the outlet and then moving away from the outlet so the cord lies behind the mower, in the cut
portion of the lawn, out of the way (see Fig. 6).
•
Do not allow the extension cord to wrap around trees, shrubs or other obstacles. When picking
up the extension cord, wind the cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it from tangling.
•
When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length
of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2—2
”
during cool months and over
2
”
during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
Mulching Tips
•
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck,
preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut. The
ground speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the
grass has been allowed to grow in excess of 4", mow twice to reduce the grass height to 3 1/4"
maximum.
WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor
,
and unplug from the power
supply circuit. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage
before restarting and operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower
during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and
repaired.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Cutting Height Adjustment
\
A height adjustment lever provides cutting height adjustment. The adjuster has six (6) height
positions. Height of cut will be changed when the lever is moved from one position to another.
WARNING:
Before adjusting height, ensure that you UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
•
To raise the height, pull the height adjustment lever from the current stop position and pull it
