Mowing Tips; Slope Operation; Emptying The Grass Catcher - Scotts 2020-16S Manual Del Operario

MOWING TIPS


Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires
and other objects that could damage the reel mower
blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.

For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less
of the total length of the grass.

When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed
to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.

Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside
of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass
clippings.

New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
Cutting grass in circles has better effect than
cutting back and forth.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to completely
stop, remove the switch key and remove the battery pack
from the battery port before cleaning underneath the
mower.

SLOPE OPERATION

WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to
mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.

Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or
bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as
rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped over or
thrown by the blade.

Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall
can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the switch control bail
wire immediately.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.
