The rear cover can be used in 2 positions:
1
Cutting up and collected in the grass catcher.
2 Cutting up and ejecting backwards.
8.12 Mowing tips
 Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the cutting
height to reduce resistance ( prevent overload of the engine) and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
 For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut paths
and mow slowly.
 The pores in the cloth grass catcher can become blocked with dirt and dust and will collect
less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose down the grass catcher and let dry before re
using.
 Keep the top of the engine (around the starter) clear and clean of grass clippings and
chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
9 MAINTENANCE
