OPERATING THE MOWER
Turning
To make a wide turn, steer the mower with the handlebar in the
direction required.
To make a tight turn, release the ground drive clutch lever, 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 engine is running.
Stopping (617 Only)
Release the engine stop lever.
Stopping (619 Only)
Release the ground drive clutch lever and release the engine stop
lever.
Emergency stop: Release both the ground drive clutch lever
and the engine stop lever together.
If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead.

Slopes
To prevent engine damage, do not use the mower on slopes
greater than 20 degrees.
(Refer fi g.13)
Height of Cut
To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull sideways to
disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower
or pull backwards to increase the height of cut. Finally release
the lever at the required position and ensure it locks fi rmly into
one of the seven setting notches.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim to
prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts
in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the
grass is long.
(Refer fi g.14)
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and
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 fi g.15)
Grassbag
Raise the rear defl ector, lift the grassbag through the handlebar
and hook into position. 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. When
collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is
emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine overloading.
(Refer fi g.16)
Without Grassbag Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear
defl ector in the closed position.
