Before cutting the grass!
Check the operator has:
a. read and understood
the Instruction manual
b. been made aware of
the Safety Instructions.
Cutting the grass:
We recommend the method of operation as shown in fig. 18 to obtain the maximum cutting performance from your
mower. It is better to cut from the outside border of the lawn and go round the borders in a clockwise direction,
working towards the centre. Always control the mower with two hands and keep it flat on the grass.
Do not PULL the mower to cut grass. It should always be pushed.
It is normally recommended never to cut more than one third of the length of the grass at one time.
Never allow the mower to struggle continuously in difficult conditions. This will only occur in long tough grass with
the blade set too low.
When cutting long tough grass, always have the blade at its highest setting, using a gentle 'pecking' motion and not
forcing the mower through the grass.
If used on undulating ground set the blade at a height so that it does not 'scalp' the grass.
When cutting slopes, DO NOT mow "across" them and DO NOT push machine UP slope. See figs 21,22 & 23.
If cutting wet grass for a prolonged period ensure that there is not a build up of grass on the underside of the deck.
If the build up becomes too great, SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP ROTATING,
disconnect the spark plug lead, then tip the mower on its side, as fig 23, and scrape away the damp grass.
As a general practice, try to avoid using the mower in these conditions, as it can be detrimental to the condition of
your lawn.
The Handles
The handles on your mower automatically lock when placed upright; this is a "stationary" or "parking" position.
The handles must NOT be released from this position when starting the engine.
To release from any limit position, depress the footstop.
WHEN TILTING THIS UNIT, HAVE THE CARBURETTOR UPPERMOST, OTHERWISE OIL WILL DRAIN FROM
THE BREATHER PIPE. THIS WILL MAKE RE-STARTING DIFFICULT, AND LOSS OF OIL WILL DAMAGE THE
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY THREAD-LOCKING MATERIAL BE USED ON FIXINGS HOLDING
ENGINE TO FRAME AND FRAME TO DECK, OR ANY FIXING COMING INTO CONTACT WITH PLASTIC
PARTS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE DRY LOCTITE PATCH APPLIED TO HANDLE TO DECK FIXING BOLTS.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS WEAKENING OF PLASTIC PARTS.
CUTTING THE GRASS
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GRASS IS CLEAR OF STONES, STICKS
AND SIMILAR OBJECTS BEFORE MOWING
PLEASE REMEMBER:
ENGINE.
