DRIVE CONTROL BAR
If you press drive control bar the clutch for the drive will be closed and
the lawn mower will start to move with the engine running. Release the
drive control bar in good time to stop the moving lawn mower.
Practice starting and stopping before you use the mower for the first
time until you are familiar with controlling the mower.
MOWING
The engine throttle on your mower has been preset to provide optimum bagging and mulching
performance for years to come.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from becoming frayed
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in
order to avoid stripes.
It’s import to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by
holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If
necessary, mow a number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary
is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn
off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
USING AS MULCHER
The mulching process recuts grass clipping several times within the
enclosed mower deck. This renders clippings small enough to be
dispersed within the blades of grass and redistributed back onto the
lawn’s ecosystem.
Mulching is best when the grass is not wet or dewy. For best mulching
results only cut the top 1/3 of your grass height. This sometimes
requires more frequent mowing during peak season.
USING AS SIDE DISCHARGE
You should fit the mulching adapter in order to use the side discharge.
1. On the side of the mower, lift the side discharge cover.
2. Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on the
side discharge cover. Lower the side discharge cover.
Caution: Do not remove side discharge cover at any time.
