OPERATING THE MOWER
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and
remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cut-
terblade could become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the
area for hidden obstructions which when contacted by the
cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage
to the mower. Remember the location of these obstructions
and ensure that you mow around them.
Grassbag
Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower the rear
deflector 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 collec-
tion depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When
collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is

emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine overloading.
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear
deflector in the closed position.
