MOWING
•
Start the engine
•
Adjust the height of cut as needed.
WARNING
Do not forget that it is better to mow grass regularly. Remember that the machine gets
deteriorated rapidly in the hot and dry weather. When cutting height is low, the blade may hit
the ground and get damaged. The user and bystanders are likely to get injured by the thrown
objects. The thrown objects may cause damage to properties.
•
Increase engine speed to the maximum.
•
Push down the blade clutch lever (1, Figure 8) then
engage the blade tension lever (2, Figure 8) slowly.
•
Then go forward in the grass to mow.
•
The best cutting speed depends on quantity and the
density of the grass. Usually, it is asked to mow
between 1st and 2nd speed. Tall grass should be cut
slowly and short grass can be cut faster.
CAUTION
Clear the mowing path from foreign objects, stones,
woods, cans, bottles and pieces of steel which can be thrown by the mower. They can cause
injury to the operator or the bystanders.
