How to Mow
1 Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
2 Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one
time and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower: Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the
motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in
long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
