OPERATING THE MOWER
Height Of Cut
To adjust the height of cut:
Hold the lever and pull sideways to disengage it from the
locking notch, then pull backwards to lower or push forwards
to raise the height of cut. Finally release the lever at the
required position and ensure it locks fi rmly into one of the
setting notches.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim
to prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low
cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts
when the grass is long.
(Refer fi g.13)
Grassbag
Raise the rear defl ector, lift the grassbag and lower the rear
defl ector to rest against the rear of the mower.
To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake
the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass
collection depends on good air fl ow through the grassbag.
When collecting grass clippings it is important that the
grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine
overloading.

Collection Without Grassbag
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear
defl ector in the closed position.
(Refer fi g.15)
Heavy Growth
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the
clippings. If collection is required, fi rst mow the area without
the grassbag 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 fi tted.
Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary
until the required fi nish is obtained.
To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one
third of grass height in one cut.
(Refer fi g.16)
Non Grassed Areas
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, release
the engine stop lever and ground drive clutch lever to stop the
engine. Set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect
the cutting mechanism.
