Without Grass Collection; Heavy Growth; Friction Disc; Non-Grassed Areas - Hayter RANGER 53 PRO 396E Owner's Handbook Manual

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-
pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass-
bag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to
dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting
with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area
again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.
To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third
of grass height in one cut.
The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to help pre-
vent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and cutting mecha-
nism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibra-
tion is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the
cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to
"Maintenance".
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the engine
and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting
mechanism.
