OPERATION (Continued)
GRASS CUTTING AND CATCHING
Refer to and abide to the instructions noted in the safety instructions of this and associated manuals.
WARNING
• Fit the Grass catcher to the mower (refer to the “Setting Up” section).
• Start the engine and set the engine speed to fast ( ) on the throttle control.
• Set the desired cut height (refer to “Setting the Cut Height” above).
• Drive the mower forward through the grass until the catcher fills.
• Stop the engine, remove and empty the catcher.
• Repeat the process.
• To maximise the cutting and catching performance it is important to maintain high engine speed, so adjust the mower ground
speed to suit.
• If the grass length or density is excessive (to maintain high engine speed initially) cut the grass at a higher setting, then at the
desired height.
• Replace blades regularly to maintain a sharp cutting edge.
• Keep the mesh in the grass catcher clean to allow the grass catcher to fill properly.
• Keep the underside of the mower deck clean and free of clipping build-up.
SELF PROPELLED OPTION
Using the Self Propelled Transmission
• Start the engine and set the engine speed to fast.
• Push forward on the clutch engagement lever to engage the self-propelled drive to the rear wheels noting that the drive
speed increases as you move the bale closer to the handle bar (refer figure 9).
• Hold the bale at the required drive speed and slow down or speed up as the conditions dictate.
• To disengage the self-propelled drive release the engagement lever and allow it to return to the disengaged position.
Release the self-propelled drive bale and push the machine when changing direction or mowing
in a confined area for safety.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The majority of mower problems involve the following problems:
- Dirt or contaminants in the fuel
- Incorrect oil level in the engine
- Blocked, damaged or incorrectly fitted air cleaner
- Incorrectly maintained blades
(Refer to the maintenance section of this and the engine manufacturer’s manual for details.)
• Always ensure equipment is in good working order.
• Do not use any equipment with worn or damaged components.
• Always use genuine Rover replacement parts.
• Never attempt maintenance that is not outlined in this manual. Refer to your nearest authorised Rover Service Dealer.
• Always ensure the engine is stopped and remove the spark plug wire before attempting any maintenance on the mower.
• On Powerstart models remove the key from the ignition before attempting any maintenance on the mower.
• All safety guards, blades, grass catchers and safety labelling must be replaced with genuine Rover parts if worn or damaged.
• Always replace blades and blade fixings in complete sets to maintain balance.
• Remove clipping build-up around the muffler area to prevent a fire hazard.
WARNING
• Refer to and abide to engine manufacturer’s manual.
• Do not allow any dirt or contaminants to enter the fuel tank, oil filler tube, air cleaner housing, carburettor or spark plug hole
when maintaining the engine.
• Ensure there is no clipping build-up in the vents adjacent to the recoil starter. The engine may overheat and be damaged if these
vents are not clear.
• Do not use high pressure cleaners to wash the machine and keep water away from the engine and electrical components.
• If tilting the mower, the engine spark plug must remain uppermost to prevent oil seepage into the air cleaner and/or exhaust.
• To prevent fuel leaking from the tank when tilting the mower ensure the fuel level is low or empty.
• Ensure the mower is dry and clean and stored in a well ventilated area.
