NOTICE:
Using the mower with the grass basket
full prevents smooth blade rotation and places
an extra load on the motor, which may cause
breakdown.
Mowing long lawn
Do not try to cut long lawn all at once. Instead, mow the
lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings
until the lawn becomes evenly short.
Fig.35
NOTE: Mowing long lawn to short length all at once
may cause the lawn to die. The cut lawn may also
block up inside of the mower body.
NOTE: If the unevenness in the length of lawn or poor
finish is found after mowing, or decrease of the motor
speed is found during mowing, decrease the mowing
speed, or raise the mowing height.
