Hayter Mowers Harrier 41 4113G - Manual (Page 10)

10 11
Heavy Growth
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without
collecting the clippings. 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. (Refer fig.17)
Friction Disc
The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction
disc to help prevent damage occurring to the engine
crankshaft and cutting mechanism when a hidden
obstruction or overload is encountered. (Refer fig.18)
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction
or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the
spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism.
ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - Refer to
“Maintenance”.
Non Grassed Areas
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop
the engine and set the mower to the maximum height of
cut to protect the cutting mechanism. (Refer fig.19)
