8.3 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
Clear the lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects, which
could be accidentally be 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 collection 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. Clean the 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. Always
remove the starter isolator before cleaning. 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 motor. Switch off the isolator key, 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.
9. BLADE
The blade is made of pressed steel. Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade will cause
dangerous vibrations). To check for balance, insert a round rod through the central hole and support the
blade horizontally. A balance blade will remain horizontal. If the blade is not balanced the heavy end will
rotate downwards. Reshape the heavy end until the blade is currently balanced, or replace the blade. To
remove the blade (1), unscrew the blade screw (2) and replace any parts, which are damaged.
When reassembling, make sure that the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation. The blade
screw (2) must be torque to 20N.m.
WARNING: For service, replace the blade with Cobra blade: 263002917 or 263003498

WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord from the power supply.
WARNING: Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades when replacing
the blade.
