OPERATING THE MOWER
Overloading Protection
Do not let the motor labour or slow down through being overloaded in work. When this situation occurs, raise the front of the mower slightly by bearing down on the handlebar, allow the motor to reach maximum speed and proceed to mow at a slower pace. Alternatively readjust to a higher cut position. If the motor continues to labour, switch off and remove the plug from the mains supply. Remove and empty the grass- bag. Examine the discharge chute and remove any blockage. Turn the machine on its side and clear any obstruction from the cutterblade and the underside of the mower deck. Place the machine upright and replace the grassbag. Readjust to a higher cut position if necessary. Restart the mower and proceed to mow at a pace which does not overload the mower.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - DO NOT continue to operate the motor in an overloaded condition. If this does occur, stop mowing and allow the motor to run at maximum speed for one minute. This will allow the motor to cool down to its normal working temperature.
