Turning

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.
To make a wide turn, steer the mower with the handle
in the direction required.
To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch
lever, apply downward pressure on the handle to raise
the front wheels just above ground level and steer in
the required direction.

Trim Side Cutting

Incorporation of a Trim Side allows you to cut right
to the edge. This is ideal for mowing around borders,
raised fl ower beds and retaining walls.
