OPERATING THE MOWER
Heavy Growth
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without
collecting the clippings. If collection is required, fi rst
mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum
height of cut setting.
Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the
area at the maximum height of cut setting with the
grassbag fi tted.
Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as
necessary until the required fi nish is obtained.
To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more
than one third of grass height in one cut.

crankshaft and cutting mechanism when a hidden
obstruction or overload is encountered.

excessive vibration is encountered.
