How to Mow
1. Start mowing from the outside edge of the lawn,
mowing in strips in alternate directions
(U)
.
2. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your
lawn will suffer if more that one third of its length
is cut at one time and this may also result in poor
collection.
Please Note:-
Do not overload your Lawnmower
When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the
cutting height adjusted to its highest setting, see
Cutting Height Adjustment
, will help reduce motor
overload and will help prevent damage to your
lawnmower.
Your battery should be kept on charge
continuously when not in use. The battery
should be fully charged before use.
The area you can cut from one charge depends on
the conditions in which you are mowing.
To increase the area you should:
• Cut the grass more frequently.
• Raise the height of cut.
Note:
To reduce the cutting load the rear wheels
may be raised higher than the front wheels.
Cutting in tough conditions:
An overload Cut out is built into your machine. The
machine will cut out if you are trying to cut too much
grass.
