A lower speed should always be selected if you note a reduction in engine speed,
since a forward speed that is too fast will not cut the grass well.
Disengage the blade and put the cutting deck in the highest position whenever

UTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The height is adjusted by moving the lever with 7 height positions.

OW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT
1. The lawn's appearance will be best if
you cut in alternate directions, always at
the same height.
2. If the collector system blocks up you

If this does not solve the problem, it is
probably due to unsharpened cutting
edges or the wings on the blade having
become deformed (see chapter 7).
3. If the grass is very tall it should be mowed twice - once at the maximum cutting
height, and perhaps reducing the cutting width, followed by a second cut at the
required height.
4. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs which could alter the hori-
zontal position of the cutting deck or damage its edge or the blade.

LOPES

changing direction that the first wheels do
not hit obstacles (such as stones, branch-
