Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, or other objects
which could damage the lawn mower or motor. Such objects
could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and
cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object, stop the
motor, and remove the key. Thoroughly inspect the
mower for any damage, and repair the damage
before restarting and operating the mower.
Excessive vibration of the mower during operation is
an indication of damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
WARNING:
The operation of any lawn mower can
result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear
safety glasses while operating the mower, or while
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
• When using the side discharge, the most effective mowing
pattern is one that allows the clippings to discharge
towards the uncut part of the lawn.
• DO NOT use mower in the rain.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the
total length of the grass.
Using as Mulcher
To set up the mulching attachments see the "Assembly & Set-Up"
section. For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass. If the grass
has been allowed to grow in excess of four inches, mulching is
not recommended.
Using Side Discharge
Attach the side discharge chute following the instructions in the
"Assembly & Set-Up" section. When using the side discharge, the
most effective mowing pattern is one that allows the clippings to
discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn.
