Mowing Tips


WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE
MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL
STONES, STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER
DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE
ROTATING BLADE.

WARNING: Mow across the face of slopes, never
up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively
steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.
1. Release bail handle to turn mower "OFF" when crossing
any gravel area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
2. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing
in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much
grass at one time can cause the motor to be overloaded
and to stop. Refer to Troubleshooting Section.
3. If a grass collection bag
12
growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the
discharge opening. Release bail handle to turn mower
off, remove the safety key and battery packs. Remove
the catcher and shake the grass down to the back end
of the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may
be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the
grass catcher.
4. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail
handle to turn mower off, remove the safety key and
battery packs. Check immediately for cause. Vibration
is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a
service check has been made. Refer to Troubleshooting
section in this manual.
5. For best cutting results, keep blade sharpened
and balanced.
6. Inspect and thoroughly clean mower after each use as a
deck with caked grass will degrade performance.
