Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-
pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag
at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry
out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with
the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again
as necessary until the required finish is obtained.
To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third of
grass height in one cut.
A device in the blade brake/clutch helps minimise prevent damage to
the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is
encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed, the device
will automatically reset.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibra-
tion is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the
cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to
“Maintenance”.
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the cut-
terblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the
cutting mechanism.
