MULCHING MOWING TIPS

When using the mulching plug, your new mower is designed to cut the grass clippings into small pieces and distribute them back into the lawn, using mulching fins located inside the mower deck.
Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn. Please review the following recommendations for optimum mulching performance.

1. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which interfere with the mulching action and reduce runtime. The best time to mow grass is in the late afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
2. For best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove about one-third of the grass blade length. If the lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to reduce the pushing effort and prevent overloading the motor. For extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high cut height setting and then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
3. For best performance, keep the mower housing free of built-up grass. From time to time turn off the mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then unplug the Safety Key and turn the mower on its side. Using an object such as a stick, wipe out any accumulation of grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade. Clean often in wet, new grass, and always after every use.
4. Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to fully disperse the grass throughout the lawn. If cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular (across) the first cut pattern.
   • DO NOT CHANGE THE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5. Change your cutting pattern from week to week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.

CUTTING AREA

• The cutting area can be affected by many factors including: cutting height, operation practices (ex: starting/stopping), lawn moisture levels, grass length, and thickness.
• The below table provides the potential cutting areas based on specific cutting conditions.

Used with two fully charged battery packs.

TIPS:

1. Mowing the lawn frequently and reducing the amount of starting/stopping procedures will help conserve battery runtime. It is recommended to always use the same two batteries during operation with fully charged levels.
2. For the best cutting performance, it is recommended to only mow up to 1/3 or less of the current grass height at a time.
   • Mow at a slower pace when cutting long/ thick grass to allow the mower to properly discharge the clippings

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING: Stop the mower and remove the safety key before removing the grass bag.
• NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service, perform the following maintenance procedures regularly. Check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged, or damaged blades, loose fittings, and worn or damaged components. Check that the covers and guards are all undamaged and are correctly attached to the mower. Carry out any necessary maintenance or repairs before operating the mower. If the mower should happen to fail despite regular maintenance, please call our customer helpline for advice.

BLADE SHARPENING

• KEEP THE BLADE SHARP FOR THE BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE.
• WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
• Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
• REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:

1. Make sure the blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen the blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.

NOTE:

1. Be sure the mower is turned off and remove the key.
2. Place the mower in stand-up storage mode.

TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See Fig. M)

1. Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped and the safety key removed before removing the blade.
2. Remove the blade from the mower. See instructions for removing and attaching the blade.
3. Secure blade M-1 in a vise M-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine tooth file M-3 or sharpening stone.
6. Check the balance of the blade. See instructions for blade balancing.
7. Replace the blade on the mower and tighten it securely. Refer to the instructions below.

BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. N)

• Check the balance of the blade by placing the center hole in blade N-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank N-2, clamped horizontally in a vise N-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. The blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
• BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. O1, O2) Renew your metal blade after 50 hours of mowing or 2 years, whichever is the regardless of condition.
• Follow these procedures to remove and replace the blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the blade. Hold the blade (19) and unscrew the blade bolt (18) counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then remove the blade.
• To re-assemble, position the blade (19) with the cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten the blade bolt (18).

STORAGE (See Fig. L1, L2)

• Stop the mower and always remove the safety key. Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots.

• Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove them with a wooden or plastic implement.
  Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine.

• To aid storage, release the handle knob, and fold the upper handle as shown in Fig. L1 & L2.
