Operating The Mower; Starting; Forward Travel; Turning - Hayter Envoy 36 Electric Instruction Manual

OPERATING THE MOWER

Starting

If you restart the motor after it has been running but before
it has come to a complete stop, you could damage the motor
making the mower unsafe.
Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before starting
it.
Locate the bail arm lever mounted on the handlebar and ensure
that your feet are clear of the mower deck. Depress the safety
button with the right hand and pull the bail arm towards the
handlebar with the left hand. The motor will now start. (Refer
fig.7)

Forward Travel

Hold and push against the handlebar with both hands to move
the mower forwards. (Refer fig.8)

Turning

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the
direction required.
To make a tight turn apply downward pressure on the handlebar
to raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the
required direction.

To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower
excessively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the
mower when the motor is running.

Stopping

Release the stop lever to stop the motor.
WARNING: AVOID ACCIDENTS - The cutterblade may
continue to rotate after the mower is switched off. (Refer
fig.9)

Height Of Cut

Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the
locking notch, then push forward to lower or pull backward to
raise the height of cut. Release the lever in the required position
and ensure that it locks firmly into one of the seven notch
settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions.
Prevent motor overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts
in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the
grass is long. (Refer fig.10)

Before Mowing

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and
Fig. 9 Fig. 10
remove all objects which when contacted by the mower
cutterblade 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. (Refer fig.11)

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
collection 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 motor overloading.
(Refer fig.12)

Without Grassbag Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear
deflector in the closed position. (Refer fig.13)
