Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-
pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass-
bag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to
dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting
with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area
again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass
height in one cut.
A friction device in the blade brake/clutch helps prevent damage
occurring to the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or over-
load is encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed, the
friction device will automatically reset.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibra-
tion is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the
cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to
"Maintenance".
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the cut-
terblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the
cutting mechanism.
