How to Mow, Adjusting the Cutting Height

How to Mow

1.Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.

2.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.

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 cut- ting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Adjusting the Cutting Height.

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