Operation
Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using
the lawn mower.
Carefully read the safety instructions of this manual before
using the lawn mower.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle (4) and walk, never run with the
lawn mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when changing the
direction of the mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep
slope of more than 20°.
The best results will be achieved if the grass is dry.
Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the catcher (17). Grass grows
at different rates at different times of the year.
Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in
drought conditions. Only about one third of the grass height should be
cut.
If the lawn mower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the grass
discharge chute may be blocked. The grass catcher may be full, or the
underside of the mower deck may be clogged.

Mowing advice

1) Before mowing always check and clear the grassed area for all
foreign objects, especially solid ones semi concealed in the ground
such as rocks, stumps and garden stakes.
2) Sharp blades cut cleanly and efficiently, if the blades are dull it will
tear the grass. This will result in the ends turning brown. When the
blades no longer cut cleanly either sharpen them or replace them.
3) To safely operate the lawn mower ensure all four wheels are on the
ground and be careful not to lose your footing or control of the
lawn mower.
4) For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. The grass will
remain healthier, greener and require less watering.
5) Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will help to
prevent matting and graining of the grass.
6) If using the mulching function, and grass is piling up behind the
lawn mower during the cutting action, lift the lawn mower to the
next cutting height using the height adjustment lever.
