OPERATING THE MOWER

Heavy Growth

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the
clippings. If collection is required, first 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 fitted. Reduce the height of cut and
mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is
obtained.

To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third

of grass height in one cut.

Blade Brake Clutch

A device in the blade brake/clutch helps minimise damage to the
cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is
encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed,
the device will automatically reset.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive
vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and
examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged
cutterblade - refer to "Maintenance".

Non-Grassed Areas

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the
cutterblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to
protect the cutting mechanism.
