IMPORTANT !
AFTER FITTING ENSURE NO GAP REMAINS BE­TWEEN THE SAFETY FLAP AND THE GRASSBOX.
Removal is the reverse procedure.
For larger areas of grass where grass collection is
not required you can use your lawnmower without the grassbox. Ensure the Safety Flap is fully closed. The design of the safety flap permits the cut grass to be discharged downward behind the machine.
Grassbox Full Window
As the grassbox fills up, grass will be visible through the window (
When the window/grassbox is full it is time to empty
the grassbox. (Only on VC product).

Cutting Height Adjustment
• Height of cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the wheels using the height adjustment lever (K)
• There are five heights of cut on this product. (20 - 60 mm)
NOTE A medium height of cut is recommended for most lawns. The quality of your lawn will suffer and collection will be poor if you cut too low.
Heights of cut:­1 & 2 - low, 3 - medium, 4 & 5 - high

or starting the lawnmower.
How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
Removing and Fitting the Blade
Switch off, wait until the blade has stopped rotating and disconnect from the mains electricity supply BEFORE at­tempting to remove or refit the blade. Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Removing the Blade
1.
To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly with a gloved hand and with a spanner, loosen the blade bolt by turning it anti-clockwise (
2. Remove the blade bolt, washer and blade.(R)
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
4. In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove, in­sert a screwdriver (S1) into the hole (S2) to lock the drive, then use a spanner (13mm A/F) to loosen the blade bolt by turning the spanner anti-clockwise. En­sure the screwdriver is removed before atempting to turn on the machine.
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one. Fitting the Blade
1. Fit the blade to the shaft with the sharp edges of the blade pointing away from the shaft and you are able to read the text on the blade ‘This side to grass’
2. Re-assemble blade bolt through the washer and the blade.
