MOWING TIPS
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially
when cutting high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once
per year, as described in the Maintenance section.
•
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the blades or the motor. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the
mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal injury to the operator and
to others. In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or
wet conditions.
•
Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
•
When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective
cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
•
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” long during cool months, and
between 2" to 3 1/4" long during hot months.
• MULCHING TIPS
NOTE: INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE MOWER IS TO BE USED, AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATING
BLADE.
•
Release the switch to turn the mower OFF when crossing any graveled area (stones
can be thrown by the blade).
•
Set mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall
weeds.
•
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the
underside of the deck, preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. New or
thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted to the
condition of the lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the grass has been allowed
to grow longer than 4" , mow the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a
maximum of 3 1/4” .
•
Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do not let the grass get too tall. If
the grass gets too long, start at the highest cutting position and work down to the
desired cutting height.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating
the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of
damage. Thoroughly inspect the mower and repair any damage before operating the
mower.
