OPERATING THE MOWER
Electrical Connection
Position the mower on the grass area to be cut. Care-
fully uncoil the supply cable clear of the mower. Ensure
that the mains socket is switch ‘OFF’ before connecting.
Switch ‘ON’.
Note: We recommend the use of a RCCB unit. refer to
the ‘Safety Precautions - Preparation’.
Starting
If you restart the motor after it has been running
but before it has come to a complete stop, you could
damage the motor making the mower unsafe.
Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
starting it.
Locate the bail arm lever mounted on the handlebar
and ensure that your feet are clear of the mower deck.
Depress the safety button with the right hand and pull
the bail arm towards the handlebar with the left hand. he
motor will now start. (Refer g.5)
Forward Travel
Hold and push against the handlebar with both hands to
move the mower forwards. (Refer g.6)
Turning
To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar
in the direction required.
To make a tight turn apply downward pressure on the
handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground
level and steer in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the
mower excessively when making a turn. Never raise
the rear of the mower when the motor is running.
Stopping
Release the bail arm to stop the motor.
WARNING: AVOID ACCIDENTS - The cutterblade
may continue to rotate after the mower is switched
off. (Refer g.7)
Height Of Cut
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it
from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or
pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Release the le-
ver in the required position and ensure that it locks rmly
into one of the seven notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions.
Prevent motor overloading and blockages by avoiding
low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make
two cuts when the grass is long. (Refer g.8)
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area
and remove all objects which when contacted by the
mower cutterblade could become dangerous projec-
tiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which
when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health
and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remem-
ber the location of these obstructions and ensure that
you mow around them. (Refer g.9)
Grassbag
Raise the rear deector and lift the grassbag and lower
the rear deector to rest against the rear of the mower.
To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and
shake the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good
grass collection depends on good air ow through the
grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important
that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent block-
ages and engine overloading. (Refer g.10)
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the
rear deector in the closed position. (Refer g.11)
