Mowing guide
1. Walk, never run, 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
blades and the grass collection system.
6. Grass grows at different rates at different times 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 remove grass debris from 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 catcher
As soon as grass clippings start to trail behind the lawn mower, empty the grass catcher.
WARNING!
Before removing the grass catcher, switch the engine OFF and wait
until the blades have come to a stop.
WARNING!
If any grass clippings are caught in the discharge chute, on the
blades or under the deck, with the engine stopped clean them using a brush. Do
not remove grass clippings by hand or with your feet.
1. To remove the grass catcher, use one hand to lift up rear flap and the other to grab
onto the carry handle. The rear flap will close fully after removing the grass catcher.
2. Empty the grass clippings in the grass catcher and refit it.
