Flymo Chevron 32 - Operation; Safety During Operation; Fitting and Using Grassbox; Adjusting Cutting Height

3. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Cut injury when the blade turns or the
product starts accidentally.
v Wait for the blade to stop, disconnect the
product from the mains and use gloves before
you connect or adjust the product.
To use the lawnmower with the grass box [ Fig. G / H ]:
Fitting fully assembled grassbox to lawnmower:
1. Lift safety flap (G1).
2. Make sure the discharge chute is clean and free from
debris (G2).
3. Locate fully assembled grassbox onto 2 location
points (G3) at the rear of the deck as illustrated
in Fig. H.
4. Locate safety flap onto the top of the grassbox.
Ensure the grassbox is securely located.
• IMPORTANT!
AFTER FITTING ENSURE NO GAP REMAINS
BETWEEN THE SAFETY FLAP AND THE
GRASSBOX.
• Removal is the reverse procedure.
• For larger areas of grass where grass collection is not
required you can use your lawnmower without the
grassbox. Ensure the Safety Flap is fully closed. The
design of the safety flap permits the cut grass to be
discharged downward behind the machine.
To adjust the cutting height [ Fig. J / K ]:
• Height of cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the front
and rear wheels.
• There are five heights of cut on this product.
• NOTE:
A medium height of cut is recommended for most
lawns. The quality of your lawn will suffer and collection
will be poor if you cut too low.
Cutting height Wheel position
Low Front position 2 cm
Rear position 2 cm
Low to Medium Front position 2 cm
Rear position 4 cm
Medium Front position 4 cm
Rear position 4 cm
Medium to High Front position 4 cm
