How to Mow
E
1. For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first. (G1)
2. Then 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. (
3. For best grass collection always mow in a straight line (E), do not swing the lawnmower from side to side (F)
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 Adjusting the Cutting Height.
