ENGLISH Removing the grassbox from your mower: Raise the grassflap. Lift the grassbox off the mower and rest it on the lawn. Gently lower the grassflap, then use both hands to lift the full grassbox. Note: To obtain the best results cut your lawn or grass area regularly and do not cut when the grass is wet. If, when grass cutting, loose grass is seen to be scattering from beneath your mower, the grassbox is probably full and should be emptied. How to use your mower (Fig.
Handy hints • On long grass, above 10cm (4 inches), use two cuts to get a close finish. We recommend that the first cut should be taken with the blade set at maximum height of cut and the second taken with it set at medium or close. This will prove to be easier and give a better overall finish to your lawn. Care and maintenance The advice given in this section covers the general care and maintenance of the main body of your mower. Advice relating to the blades is given in “Blade maintenance”.
