OPERATING THE MOWER
Height of Cut

Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks firmly into one of the seven notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstruc- tions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remember the loca- tion of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.
