To empty the grass catcher
CAUTION:
you move it to prevent wear.
1. Lift the grass catcher with the frame handle.
2. Use the frame handle and the bag handle when you
empty the grass catcher.
To get a good result
• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an
irregular result and the cut surface of the grass
becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less
energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass.
Use the highest cutting height when you start to cut
the grass. Examine the result and lower the cutting
height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long,
operate slowly and cut 2 times if it is necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent
stripes in the lawn.
• Lift the rear cover and remove the grass catcher.
• If a mulch plug and a mulch blade are attached,
remove them.
• Close the rear cover before you operate the product.
When you operate the product, the cut grass
discharges below the rear cover.
