around your hand.
Tilt the product and release the engine brake handle.
When the engine stops, lower the product.
Set the handle in park position, see

Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an
irregular result and the cut surface of the grass
becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less
energy than a blunt blade.
Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass.
Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the
result and lower the cutting height to an applicable
level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2
times if necessary.
Cut in different directions each time to prevent
stripes in the lawn.
WARNING: To prevent injury and damage to
the product, obey these instructions when it
is necessary to put the product on its side.
