COMPONENTS

ASSEMBLY

OPERATION

Allowing the grass cuttings to lay on the surface of the lawn can be beneficial and act as a natural food.

Remove the Collection Basket and fit the mulching attachment into its location as show, this will deflect the clippings downwards.

Set mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.

NOTE: Release the switch to turn the mower off when crossing any gravelled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).

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 the grass is longer than 4″ (10 cm), mow the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a maximum of 3 ¼” (8.3 cm).

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.

Protect your hands.

While wearing gloves, wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck in order to prevent the blade from turning when the nut is being removed.

Using a 12mm wrench or socket, loosen the blade nut and remove the blade.

Turn the nut anticlockwise to loosen it and clockwise to tighten, remove the blade.

To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the ground making sure that the 2 holes locate with the 2 protrusions on the plastic insulator section.

Assemble the blade nut and the insulator section as shown below. Using a 12mm socket or wrench, turn the blade nut clockwise to secure the blade.
