Slopes

To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater
than 20 degrees.

Height of Cut

To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull sideways to dis-
engage 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 eight set-
ting notches.
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.

Before Mowing

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 or result in damage to the mower. Remember the loca-
tion of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.

Grassbag

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower the rear deflec-
tor 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.
