Grassbag; Collection Without Grassbag; Heavy Growth; Friction Disc - Hayter Harrier 41 Owner's Handbook Manual

OPERATING THE MOWER

Grassbag

To remove the 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.
(Refer fi g.16)
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.17)

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
Fig. 16
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.18)

Friction Disc

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to
help prevent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and
cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is
encountered.
(Refer fi g.19)
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 Mower Maintenance.
