Mowing Tips
Before mowing ensure the area to be cut is clear of stones or
other objects, which may damage the mower or cause injury.
Start by mowing around the edges of your lawn, then cut
the center area in stripes. (Fig. 15) Mow twice a week during
growing season, the grass will be weakened if more than a
third of the length is cut away at one time. The mower should
be parked, the operation lever released and the blades allowed
to stop before the grass collector is removed for emptying.
Do Not Overload the Mower
If you hear the motor in the mower change pitch dramatically
while mowing, it may be overloaded.
If the grass is very thick or long, a first cut with the cutting
height set higher will help reduce the load on the motor.
