3 Mowing

WARNING!

Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower. Always fit the grass bag before mowing.

■

Start the engine and allow it run. See ”Step-2 Starting the engine”

■

Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with stop/start bar and push the lawnmower walking along it, never run with the mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground. Mow across slopes, never up and down.

Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.

NOTE!

- The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the grass collection system. Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year.

- Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.

- If the lawnmower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the grass discharge chute may be blocked. The grass bag may be full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
