Height Of Cut, Before Mowing, Heavy Growth

OPERATING THE MOWER

Height Of Cut

To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull side- ways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position and ensure it locks firmly into one of the eight setting notches.

Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Aim to prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long. (Refer fig.14)

Before Mowing

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could become dangerous projec- tiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remem- ber the location of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them. (Refer fig.15)

shake the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass collection depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent block- ages and engine overloading. (Refer fig.16)

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the

rear deflector in the closed position. (Refer fig.17)

Heavy Growth

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.

To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third of grass height in one cut. (Refer fig.18)

Non Grassed Areas

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the engine and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism. (Refer fig.19 & 20)

Grassbag

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower the rear deflector to rest against the rear of the mower.

To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and

Friction Disc

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to help prevent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered. (Refer fig.19)
