Garland GRASS 100 E Instruction Manual page 35

Do not run whilst working, walk at a constant pace
that allows the machine to cut the grass without too
much effort.
7.2. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
Attention! Stop the machine and wait for the
cutting blade to come to a complete standstill before
adjusting the cutting height. The blades need a few
moments to stop completely after stopping the engine.
To adjust the cutting height of the front wheels:
- Place the machine upside down.
- Pull the axis of the front wheel towards the front
part of the machine.
- Place the axis of the wheel at the height required
for cutting.
Note: Ensure that both front wheels are in the same
cutting position.
To adjust the cutting height of the front wheels:
- Place the machine on its side.
- Pull the axis of the back wheels towards the
lawnmower´s catcher.
- Place the axis of the wheel at the height required
for cutting.
Note: Ensure that both front wheels are in the same
cutting position.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
Place the lawnmower in one corner of the working
area and adjust the cutting height adjustment to the
desired place.
Check that the catcher is correctly placed, check that
the blade is not in contact with any object and start
the lawnmower.
Walk at a pace that allows the grass to be cut
correctly.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the engine
unless it is necessary. In this case, do not tilt the
machine more than it is absolutely necessary and only
tilt the part furthest away from the end user. Only do
this when starting to cut high grass and only to allow
the entry of the lawnmower into the high grass. Stop
the engine when transporting the lawnmower from
one work area to the next.
Note: If the grass is very high, the start up of the
engine will be more difficult. If the grass is very high, it
is convenient to elevate slightly the front wheels of the
lawnmower, pushing the handle slightly downwards
and start up the machine in this position. Once the
engine has achieved its normal revolutions, stop
pressing the handle downwards and allow the front
wheels downwards. Another option is to start the
machine in a clear place and walk into the working
area elevating the front wheels slightly when entering
the working area.
If the engines revolutions fall a lot and the it is
difficult to cut the grass, this is a clear signal that
the machine is being overstretched. This could be
dangerous for the machine. In this case, adjust the
height adjustment to the highest position and then do
a second cutting at the desired height.
We recommend you use the following tips so as to
obtain the best possible results and reduce the risk of
the cable being cut:
- Start cutting at the point nearest to the mains
switch.
- Connect the cable to the mains switch.
