OPERATING THE MOWER
Grassbag
1.
Raise and hold up the rear defl ector (1)
2.
Hook the grassbag into position (2).
3.
Lower the rear defl ector.
To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake
the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass
collection depends on good air fl ow through the grassbag. When
collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is
emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine overloading.
(Refer fi g.15)
Collection Without Grassbag
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear
defl ector in the closed position.
(Refer fi g.16)
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.
(Refer fi g.17)
Friction Disc
The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to
help prevent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and
cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is
encountered.
(Refer fi g.18)
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or
excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark
plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS
replace a damaged cutterblade. Refer to Maintenance.
