MOWING INSTRUCTIONS
The lawn’s appearance will improve if it is always cut at the same height and cut in alternate directions as
shown below.
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort, prevent overloading of the motor and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to reduce ground speed and/or push the lawn mower over the area a second time. For extremely
heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the previously cut path and mow slowly. For cutting
convenience, it may be best to start mowing at a point close to the power supply and to work your way away
from the supply.
1. Walk, never run with the mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
2. Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Mow across the face of slopes, never
down or up.
3. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
4. Best results will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will clog the blade & grass collection system.
5. Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the
first cut of the season or in drought conditions.
6. Do not remove grass debris in the mower deck or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
7. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are well tightened.
8. Before mowing, place the grass collector in its position.
9. Before mowing make sure that the blade and the blade fixing screw are securely fastened. When blade
cutting edges require re-sharpening, this must be done evenly on both sides, to prevent any imbalance.
If you are unsure how to sharpen the blade, please visit your local Approved Service Dealer. If the blade
is damaged, it must be replaced.
10. When mowing, always wear a long trousers and strong footwear.
11. Do not run the engine in an enclosed and/or poorly ventilated area, where gas of the engine contains
carbon monoxide, which are dangerous for your health.
12. Work only when there is enough light.
13. Turn off the engine if you must leave the lawnmower unattended.
14. Never lift the rear of the mower while starting the engine and never place your hands and feet
underneath the deck or into the rear discharge chute while the engine is running.
15. Never change in any way the rated speed of the engine.
16. On self-propelled mowers, disconnect the self-propelled system before starting the engine.
17. Never lift or carry the mower while the engine is running.
18. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cover in these cases:
- Before any operation under the deck or the rear discharge chute.
- Before any maintenance, repairing or checking operations.
- Before carrying, lifting or removing the mower.
- If you leave the mower unattended or changing the cutting height.
- To remove and emptying the grass catcher.
