Mowing
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades
from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits
not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut
and make it harder for the machine to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not
up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill while mowing will prevent the
mower from sliding out of the straight line. Select the cutting height according to the
length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several times so that
no more than 4 cm of grass are cut at one time.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the
blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched off.
Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is
securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately switch
off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect
the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
