Flymo 350 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season,
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its
length is cut at one time and this may also result
in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor
speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor
sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload
your lawnmower which may cause damage. When
mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cut-
ting height set higher will help reduce the load. See
Adjusting the Cutting Height.
REMEMBER: For best grass collection always
mow in a straight line, do not swing the lawnmower
from side to side.
