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 obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety. Remember the location 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 prevent blockages and engine overloading.
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position.
Heavy Growth
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip- pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass- bag 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.
