Mowing advice
1.It is recommended to use the fast throttle setting and keep the engine running at maximum speed. This will deliver the best cut. If the speed of the engine slows this could indicate the mower is being overloaded, by trying to cut to much grass or the catcher may be full. Try mowing a narrower strip, mowing slower or raise the cutting height.
2.Sharp blades cut cleanly and efficiently, if the blade is dull it will tear the grass. This will result in the ends turning brown. When the blades no longer cut cleanly either sharpen them or replace them.
3.To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are on the ground and be careful not to loose your footing or control of the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle bar at all times, always walk, never run with the mower.
