MOWING TIPS

NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, WIRE, BONES 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 bail handle to turn mower “OFF” when crossing any gravel 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. Refer to troubleshooting guide.

4. If a grass catcher is used during the fast growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge opening. Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove the safety key. Remove the catcher and shake the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the grass catcher.

5. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail handle to turn mower off and remove safety key. Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service check has been made. Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual.

6. ALWAYS RELEASE BAIL HANDLE TO TURN MOWER OFF AND

REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
