CUTTERBAR OPERATION
The cutterbar rotates at the same speed as the engine. The cutterbar will stop within three seconds of the engine being stopped.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : DO NOT operate the mower if the cutterbar fails to stop within three seconds. Return the mower to your Hayter dealer for examination and repair.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: ALWAYS stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterbar - refer to “Maintenance”.
MOWING AND GRASS CARE TIPS
The Clipper 46 employs a mulching system. The grass is cut and then finely chopped before being forced down by blown air into the root area. The fine clippings should be left to break down naturally in order to fertilise the lawn. For best results, it is important that the grass is not cut too short.
In dry weather conditions leave the grass long to help retain ground moisture.
Aerate the lawn to stimulate soil organisms and root growth. In spring and late summer remove dead grass and aerate the lawn by raking or similar means.
Keep the cutterbar sharp. A blunt cutterbar will tear the grass and cause the tips to turn brown.
Always keep the underside of the deck clean.
Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. Grass clippings will stick to the underside of the deck and the mulching performance will be affected.
