WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : ALWAYS check the condition of the rear deflector for signs of damage. Replace a damaged rear deflector immediately. Never operate the mower with a damaged rear deflector.

HEAVY GROWTH

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without grass collec- tion. If grass collection is required first mow the area without grass collection 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.

MOVING THE MOWER ACROSS NON-GRASSED AREAS

Set the mower to its maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism when transporting the mower over surfaces other than grass.

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Always stop the engine and push the mower carefully at slow walking speeds.
