Operation Manual

- 13 -
Avoid cutting wet grass: For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck
preventing proper mowing of the grass.
General Recommendations: Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass.
Ground speed will need to be adjusted to aid the even distribution of clippings onto the lawn.
For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well
mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length
for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass
will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn.
The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing.
Clean underside of deck: Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which
could prevent proper mulching.
Clean the underside of the deck: Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of
grass, which would prevent proper mulching.

WARNING: If the mower blade strikes a foreign object, stop the engine immediately. Remove the wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive
vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of serious damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired
7.7 GRASS CATCHER
There is a level indicator on the top of the grass catcher that shows whether the catcher is empty or full :
- The level indicator inflates if the catcher is not full during the moving. (Fig. 11B)
- If the catcher is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop moving immediately and empty the catcher, make sure it is
clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated. (Fig. 11A)
IMPORTANT:
If the position of indicator opening is very dirty, the indicator will not inflate-in this case, clean the position of indicator opening
immediately.

7.8 DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other
matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be
cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
7.9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the
spark plug wire.
