DRIVE CONTROL BAR
If you press drive control bar the clutch for the drive will be closed and the lawn
mower will start to move with the engine running, Release the drive control bar in
good time to stop the moving lawn mower. Practice starting and stopping before
you use the mower for the first time until you are familiar with controlling the
mower.
MOWING
The engine throttle on your mower has been preset to provide optimum bagging and mulching performance for
years to come.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from becoming frayed and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in order to
avoid stripes.
It’s important to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding
a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If necessary, mow a
number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn 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 turned 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 turn 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.
