Tips to use the mower [ Fig. O10 / O11 ]:
Mow twice a week during the growing season.
The lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and
this may also result in poor collection.
For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise
direction first.
Start to mow the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point.
So the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
For best grass collection always mow in a straight line. Do not swing
the lawnmower from side to side.
For the best cutting results mow in straight lines with an overlap of
approximately 8 – 10 cm on each pass with the mower.
Do not overload the mower. To mow long thick grass may cause the
motor speed to drop and you will hear a change in the motor sound.
If the motor speed drops you may overload the mower which may cause
damage. When you mow in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting
height set higher will help reduce the load.
See To adjust the cutting height.
