Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-
pings. 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 grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass
height in one cut.
The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to help pre-
vent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and cutting mecha-
nism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibra-
tion is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the
cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to
“Maintenance”.
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.
