USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks,
wire, or other objects which could damage
lawn mower or engine. Such objects could
be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction and cause serious personal injury to
the operator and others.
For the best results, do not cut wet grass be
-
cause it tends to stick to the underside of the
mower, preventing proper mulching of grass
clippings. In addition, wet grass could cause
you to slip and fall. New grass, thick grass or
wet grass may require a narrower cut.
For best results, cut off one-third or less of
the total length of the grass. Lawn should be
cut in the fall as long as there is growth.
The mower is designed to be operated at full
throttle to give you the best cut and do the
most effective job of mulching.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign
object, stop the engine. Remove
wire from spark plug, thoroughly in
-
spect the mower for any damage,
and repair the damage before re
-
starting and operating the mower.
Extensive vibration of the mower
during operation is an indication of
damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
