MOWING SLOPING AREAS
Important!
Mowing on slopes requires extra care.
Generally speaking, your mower will mow lawns on which you can
reasonably walk. When mowing a sloping area, mow across the
slope wherever possible, with your machine pointing slightly uphill.
This way you will nd it will do a satisfactory job without sliding. If
you nd it necessary to mow up and down the slope and the rear
roller shows a tendency to slip on the upward run, then press down
on the handle to increase traction.
PAUSING BETWEEN MOWING
Whenever the mower is left with the engine running e.g. when emp-
tying the catcher close the throttle to allow the engine to idle. Idling
the engine automatically uncouples the drive to the cutting reel, re-
ducing wear. If your mower is tted with an OPC system, the engine
will stop automatically when you release your grip on the OPC bail.
If the mower is to be left unattended for a longer period, it is advis-
able to stop the engine to prevent possible overheating.
If the mower is to be left unattended for a long period of tme, dis-
engage the reel lever back to the red stop position to stop the reel
blades from spinning.
Adjustments for best performance
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The height of cut ‘C’ can be altered to suit grass and/or ground
conditions by simple rotation of the height adjustment knob situated
immediately forward of the chain cover, see photo pages 6 and 7.
‘C’Cut height
• The height of cut ‘C’ can be altered to suit grass and/or ground
conditons by simply rotating the Height Adjustment Knob. (See
image on pages 5)
• For a shorter cut turn the height adjustment knobl counter-
clockwise.
• For a longer cut turn the height adjustment knob clockwise.
Never set the cutting height so low that the bedknife touches the
ground. For a healthy attractive lawn we do not recommend cutting
at heights below ½”-1”. Very long grass is best tackled with the
rollers set to give the highest possible cut.
GRASS DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENTS
When cutting grass at various lengths, it may be found that the
cuttings tend to be thrown either too high or low in the catcher, in
which case poor loading will result. To eliminate this the deector
should be adjusted. This can be done quite simply by slackening
o the two bolts ‘A’ on the front edge of the main frame and mov-
ing the deector in or out until the desired eect is obtained, then
re-tighten the bolts. If set too far back, grass will be thrown too low
in the catcher, or if too close to the cutting reel, grass will be thrown
over the top of the catcher.
