How to Mow
Your product can be used to cut grass using the
following methods:-
1. Grassbox Fitted:- grass is collected effectively
and compacted into the grassbox. (P1)
2. Mulch Plug Fitted - Powermax 37E/42E only:- only
grass cuttings are finely chopped to return
nutrients to your lawn (V3).
3. Rear Discharge:- Effectively cuts long grass with no
need to empty the grassbox (P2)
How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season,
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its
length is cut at one time.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed
to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If
the motor speed drops you may overload your
lawnmower which may cause damage. When
mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting
height set higher will help reduce the load. See
Cutting Height Adjustment.
