note: always inspect area where mower
is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wire, metal and other debris
which might be thrown by the rotating
blade.
1. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-
and-down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes. Always maintain
good footing.
2. Release switch lever to turn mower "OFF"
when crossing any graveled area (stones
can be thrown by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height when
mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds.
Removing too much grass at one time can
cause circuit breaker to trip, which stops
mower.
4. If a grass collection bag is used during the
fast growing season, the grass may tend to
clog up at the discharge opening. Release
switch lever to turn mower "OFF" . Remove

Mulching Mowing tipS
While mulching, your new mower is designed
to cut the grass clippings into small pieces
and distribute them back into the lawn. Under
normal conditions, the mulched grasses will
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the
lawn.
Please review the following recommendations
for optimum mulching performance.
1. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from
rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps
which interfere with the mulching action
and reduce runtime. The best time to mow
grass is in the late afternoon when the
grass is dry and the newly cut area will not
be exposed to direct sunlight.
2. For best mulching performance, set
the cutting height to remove about one
third of the grass blade length, ideally
no more than 1-1/2" at one time. If the
lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary
to increase the cut height to reduce the
pushing effort and prevent overloading the
motor. For extremely heavy mulching, it is
advisable to first cut at a high cut height
setting, and then re-cut to the final cut
height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and
mow slowly. (See I)
3. For best performance, keep the mower
housing free of built-up grass. From time
to time turn off mower and wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop. Using
an object such as a stick, wipe out any
accumulation of grass in the blade area.
Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade.
Clean often in wet, new grass, and always
