Stopping; Slopes; Height Of Cut; Before Mowing - Hayter Harrier 41 410G Owner's Handbook Manual

OPERATING THE MOWER

Stopping

(Code 413 only)
Release the ground drive clutch lever and release the
engine stop lever.
(Code 410 & 411)
Release the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop: As above. If the engine fails to stop
disconnect the spark plug lead. (Refer fig.11)

Slopes

To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on
slopes greater than 20 degrees. (Refer fig.12)

Height Of Cut

To adjust the height of cut: Hold the lever and pull
sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then
push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the
height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required
position and ensure it locks firmly into one of the setting
notches.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions.
Aim to prevent engine overloading and blockages by
avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared
to make two cuts when the grass is long. (Refer fig.13)

Before Mowing

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area
and remove all objects which when contacted by the
mower cutterblade could become dangerous projec-
tiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which
when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health
and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remem-
ber the location of these obstructions and ensure that
you mow around them. (Refer fig.14)

Grassbag

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower
the rear deflector to rest against the rear of the mower.
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 flow through the
grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important
that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent block-
ages and engine overloading. (Refer fig.15)

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the
rear deflector in the closed position. (Refer fig.16)
