How to Mow

to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If
the motor speed drops you may overload your lawn-
mower which may cause damage. When mowing in
long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set
higher will help reduce the load. See Adjusting the
Cutting Height.
REMEMBER: For best grass collection always mow in a
straight line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.

be fitted between the blade and the fan and NEVER
between the blade and the bolt.
