Flymo SimpliMow 320 - OPERATION; Connecting the Mower; Starting and Stopping the Mower; Adjusting Cutting Height

• Do not tilt the machine when switching on the motor, except if the
machine has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt it more
than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from
the operator.
• Stop the machine, and remove plug from the socket, and make
sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
– after striking a foreign object, inspect the machine for damage
and make repairs before restarting and operating the machine
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, immediately inspect for
damage, replace or repair any damaged parts and check for and
tighten any loose parts
• Maintain the mower at regular intervals. This will extend the
working life of the mower.
• Only use spare parts recommended by FLYMO. This is the only
way to ensure safe use of the mower.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment
of the fingers between moving cutting means and fixed parts of the
machine.
• When servicing the cutting means be aware that, even though the
power source is switched off, the cutting means can still be moved.
We recommend to wear a hearing protection.

3.5 Tips to use the mower:
• If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull the mower back-
wards about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out downwards.
• To produce a well-maintained lawn, we recommend to cut the lawn
regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes denser if you cut
it frequently.
• After relatively long cutting intervals (holiday lawn), first of all cut in one
direction with the highest cutting height and then cut in the crosswise
direction with the required cutting height.
• If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the
cutting pattern will be uneven.
4. MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Cutting injury due to the blade!
Risk of cut injury due to accidental starting.
v Use gloves.
v Wait for the blade to stop.
Maintenance and servicing instructions
• Stop the cutting means if the machine has to be tilted for trans-
