OPERATING THE MOWER
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.
Grassbag
Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag through the handlebar and lower the rear deflector to rest against the rear of the mower.
To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and 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 pre- vent blockages and engine overloading.
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position.
