engine may be flooded with excess fuel. Use following procedure to clear and start a
flooded engine.

reinstall it.

Mowing

WARNING:

Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower.

Carefully read the safety instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower.

WARNING:

Never open the ejector flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be

emptied) and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

1. Select your required cutting height.
2. Start the engine and allow it run, and set it to required speed.

See “to start the engine”.

3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and drive lever (clutch

lever) closed and walk along with it self-propelling to start mowing.

Working tips

1. Walk, never run with the mower, and be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
2. Mow across slopes, never up and down.
3. Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.
4. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
5. The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and

the grass collection system.

6. Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting

height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions.

7. Only about one third of the grass height should be cut.
8. Do not cut high or wet grass when mulching to ensure that the cut grass can be scattered

effectively. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower and
clean the blade and the deck.

9. Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet.

Instead, use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

Emptying the grass bag

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawnmower, it is time to empty the grass bag.

NOTE:

Before taking off the grass bag, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has

come to a stop.

1. To take off the grass bag, use one hand to lift up ejector flap and the other to grab onto the

carry handle.The ejector flap automatically falls down after removing the grass bag and
closes off the rear chute opening.

2. Empty the grass debris in the grass bag, and refit grass bag.

NOTE:

If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not

remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet.
Instead, use suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be
collected into grass bag, the discharge opening and inside the mower casing must be
cleared of any blockage.
