MOWERTHEOPERATING
1.13
To turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direction required.
To make a tight turn, apply downward pressure on the handlebar to
raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the required
direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces-
sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower
when the engine is running.
Release the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop: If the engine fails to stop, move the throttle lever
to the ‘slow’ position and disconnect the spark plug lead.
To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater
than 20 degrees.
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.
