7.6 For the best results when mowing
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 mowing do not cut wet grass because
it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings.
Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing 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 mowed cut. When mowing 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 mowing. 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. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn.
When mowing 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 mow.
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.
7.7 Grass catcher
Fig 12
There is a window on the rear cover. You can see the condition of grass catcher through the
window. If the catcher is full of grass, you will empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean
and ensure its meshwork is ventilated.
7.8 Deck
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a build-up of
grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite
rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching.The deck may be cleaned by tilting the
mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is
disconnected).
