NOTE To attach to the COLLECTION BASKET to the lawnmower, lift the REAR FLAP (12) and hook into place on the mounting points at the rear of the lawnmower

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When mowing high grass, start with the maximum cutting height and make a second cut with a lower cutting height.
Pull the CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVER (13) towards the rear wheel.

Moving the CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVER (13) towards the front will lower the ride height giving a closer cut.

MULCHING ATTACHMENT
IMPORTANT Disconnect from the mains before opening the REAR FLAP (12)
NOTE If you wish to collect the grass in the COLLECTION BASKET, ensure the MULCHING ATTACHMENT (15) is removed first and re-attach the COLLECTION BASKET.

• 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 (15) into its location as shown, 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

GRASS INDICATOR

When the hatch opens during operation, the grass collector has sufficient volume left to collect grass.
When the hatch closes, the grass collector is full and must be emptied.
