Mowing advice (Fig. 1)
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 mower ensure all four wheels are on the ground and be
careful not to lose your footing or control of the mower. Be very careful when
mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle bar at all times,
always walk, never run with 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 (23).
