3. For best grass collection always mow in a straight line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.

Do Not Overload Your Mower

Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower

which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Adjusting the Cutting Height.

Mow twice a week during the growing season, your

lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Never use more J than 3 Cutting Height Spacers. Spacers must only

be fitted between the blade and the fan and NEVER between the blade and the bolt.

1. Remove the blade bolt, and blade as described in

2.For a Lower Cut - Add spacers to a maximum of 3.
