3. Select the required cutting height (1–9) with the
cutting height lever.
To obtain a uniform cutting height it is important
that the tyre pressures are equal on both front
wheels (60 kPa).

4.Push in the lock button on the lift lever and lower down the cutting unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The service-life of the drive belts increases considerably if the engine is run at low speed when engaging the blades. For this reason increase the throttle first when the cutting unit has been lowered to the cut- ting position.

Cutting tips

•Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid collision.

•Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the required cutting results are obtained.

•The cutting results are best with a high engine speed (fast rotating blades) and low driving speed (slow moving machine). If the grass is not too high and thick the driving speed can be

increased or the engine speed reduced without noticeably affecting the mowing results.

•The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often. Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings become more evenly distributed over the surface. The total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing results.

•Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.

•Hose down the cutting unit with water under- neath each time it is used.

!WARNING!

Mowing pattern

Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be thrown out by the blades.
