Working tips
1. Walk, never run with the mower, and be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
2. Mow across slopes, never up and down.
3. Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.
4. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
5. The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the
grass collection system.
6. Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height
for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions.
7. Only about one third of the grass height should be cut.
8. Do not cut high or wet grass when mulching to ensure that the cut grass can be scattered
effectively. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower and clean
the blade and the deck.
9. Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet.
Instead, use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
Emptying the grass bag
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawnmower, it is time to empty the grass bag.
NOTE: Before taking off the grass bag, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
1. To take off the grass bag, use one hand to lift up ejector flap and the other to grab onto the
carry handle. The ejector flap automatically falls down after removing the grass bag and closes
off the rear chute opening.
2. Empty the grass debris in the grass bag, and refit grass bag.
NOTE: If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not
remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead,
use suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be collected
into grass bag, the discharge opening and inside the mower casing must be cleared of any
blockage.
