SETTING BLADE HEIGHT
See fi gure 6.
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-
cutting position. Before using the mower for the fi rst time,
adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your
lawn. The average lawn should be between 3 and 6 cm,
depending on the season.
■
To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever and move it toward the back of the mower.
■
To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever and move it toward the front of the mower.
OPERATION
MOWING TIPS
■
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and
other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades
or engine. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by
the mower in any direction and cause serious personal
injury to the operator and others.
■
For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of
the total height of the grass.
■
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
■
Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the
deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass
clippings.
■
New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.
■
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
SLOPE OPERATION TIPS
See fi gure 8.
■
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to
mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
■
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
■
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
