7.4 To stop engine
CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine
is shut off.
1. Release the brake control handle to stop the engine and blade.
2. Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as instructed in the separate engine manual
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.
7.5 Connection for auto move
Turn the Auto Move handle, the lawnmower will move forward automatically with a speed of
1m/s. (3.6km/h)
CAUTION: your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a
height no more than 250mm. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall
dry grass (e.g, pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the
mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire
hazard.
7.6 For the best results when mulching
Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign
objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and
surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mulching do not cut wet grass
because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mulching of the grass
clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mulching is
1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be
dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary
to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mulched cut. When mulching long
grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length
for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time.
Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on
the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it
to do the most effective job of mulching. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the
underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent
proper mulching. Mulching leaves. The mulching of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn.
When mulching leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not
wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mulch.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of
the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
