To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater
than 20 degrees.
Hold the trigger against the handle and raise or lower the mower using
the handle to achieve the desired height of cut. Release the trigger to
secure the mower at the required position.
There are seven height of cut positions. The setting is indicated by the
position of the connecting rod relative to the height of cut indicator.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim to pre-
vent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long
grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all
objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could
become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstruc-
tions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health
and safety. Remember the location of these obstructions and
ensure that you mow around them.
Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag through the handlebar 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 pre-
vent blockages and engine overloading.
