SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Safety Alert Symbol
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages. When
you see this symbol be alert to the possibility of injury. Carefully r ead
the following and inform others.
Your mower is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the
following precautions may result in serious injury.
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Ensure that you are familiar with the

Handlebar
Unscrew the handlebar securing knobs sufficiently to allow the handlebar to pivot. Unfold the handlebar to the operating position. Tighten all
handlebar knobs to secure the handlebar in position.
Take care to ensure that the power cable does not become snagged at
the pivot points.
1.10
Grassbag Attachment
Once the grassbag is assembled. Raise the rear deflector, pass the
grassbag under the handlebar and hook in position. Lower the deflector to rest on the grassbag.
Supply Cable
Route the supply cable loosely across to the cable cleat on the left side
of the handlebar. Make a loop in the supply cable and secure to the
cable cleat.
Page 11
Electrical Connection
Position the mower on the grass area to be cut. Carefully uncoil the
supply cable clear of the mower. Ensure that the mains socket is
switched 'OFF' before connecting. Switch 'ON'.
Note: We recomend the use of a RCCB unit- Refer to "Safety
Precautions" - Preparation.
Starting
Locate the bail arm lever mounted on the handlebar and ensure that
your feet are clear of the mower deck. Depress the safety button with
the right hand and pull the bail arm towards the handlebar with the left
hand. The motor will now start.
Forward Travel
MOWERTHEOPERATING
Hold and push against the handlebar with both hands to move the
mower forwards.
Turning
To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar whilst travelling forward.
To make a tight turn apply downward pressure on the handlebar to
raise the front wheels of the mower just above ground level and steer
the mower using the handlebar in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower excessively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower
when the motor is running.

OPERATINGTHEMOWER
Stopping
Release the bail arm to stop the motor.
WARNING: AVOID ACCIDENTS - The cutterblade may continue to rotate after the mower is switched off
Height of Cut
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking
notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height
of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks
firmly into one of the seven notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent
motor overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass
conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all
objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could
become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area forhidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health
and safety. Remember the location of these obstructions and
ensure that you mow around them.

Grassbag
To empty the grassbag raise the rear deflector and pass the grassbag
under the handlebar and lower the rear deflector to rest against the rear
of the mower.
Pour out the grass clippings and shake the grassbag vigorously to clean
the airways. Good grass collection depends on good air flow through
the grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important that the
grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent blockages and motor overloading.
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
Heavy Growth
MOWERTHEOPERATING
Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to
dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting
with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area
again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass
height in one cut.
Non-Grassed Areas
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the motor and
set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting
mechanism.

OPERATINGTHEMOWER
Safe Mower Practice
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS -Take extreme care do not
mow across the supply cable. If this should occur, switch off immediately and disconnect the plug from the power supply. Carefully examine the cable for cuts and damage. Adefective cable must be replaced
before the mower is used again. Always be aware of the location of the
supply cable in relationship to the mower and the grass area. Do not
allow the cable to become hidden in uncut grass. Keep the cable over
the cut area at all times. A cable which is out of sight is out of mind
and this could lead to a hazardous situation. Plan a 'cutting scheme'
which works away from the power supply point and ensures that the
cable is trailed out over the cut area. Work up and down the lawn in
rows. Turn the machine round at the end of the row and step across the
cable so that the cable is trailed along in the cut area on the return run.
When working around flower beds, prevent the cable from trailing
across the cultivated area by positioning a stake at the corner of the
bed. Do not allow the cable to be pulled around sharp obstructions.
Stop mowing immediately if cable resistance is felt and remove the
obstruction. Do not allow the cable to become entangled.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Switch off at the mains,
remove the plug before adjusting, cleaning or if the cable is entangled.
1.14
Page 15
Overloading Protection
Do not let the motor labour or slow down through being overloaded in
work. When this situation occurs, raise the front of the mower slightly
by bearing down on the handlebar, allow the motor to reach maximum
speed and proceed to mow at a slower pace. Alternatively readjust to a
higher cut position. If the motor continues to labour, switch off and
remove the plug from the mains supply. Remove and empty the grassbag. Examine the discharge chute and remove any blockage. Turn the
machine on its side and clear any obstruction from the cutterblade and
the underside of the mower deck. Place the machine upright and
replace the grassbag. Readjust to a higher cut position if necessary.
Restart the mower and proceed to mow at a pace which does not overload the mower.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - DO NOT continue to
operate the motor in an overloaded condition. If this does occur,
stop mowing and allow the motor to run at maximum speed for
one minute. This will allow the motor to cool down to its normal
working temperature.

LAWNCARECALENDAR
To be used as a guide only.
January
There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away
leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.
February
Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil
organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.
March
The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as
the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first
cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could
result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally sufficient this month.
April
Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of
coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.
1.16
May
Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selective weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not
feed the lawn in April.
June
Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to
mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this
month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control.
Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.
July
Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed
killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a general rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If
weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the
clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

August
Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks
caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weather conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.
September
Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the
roots from the winter frost and snow.
October
Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in
drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.
November
Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf
free from leaves.
December
CALENDAR
Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy
year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.
Lawn Stripes
The way to achieve a neat striped effect is for the lawn being cut in
parallel stripes, alternate stripes being mown in opposite directions. A
much more important routine is to cut at right angles to the line of the
previous mowing. If the work has been carried in a north-south line,
then the next cutting should be in an east-west direction. The crosscutting keeps down the coarse weed grasses.
T o pr event grass damage do not remove mor e than one third of the
grass height in one cut.
1.17
Page 18
MAINTENANCESCHEDULE
Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More
frequent service will be required if working for prolonged periods
under dusty, dry conditions, or when airborne debris is present or after
extensive operation cutting tall, dry grass.
Daily
Remove grass debris from around the height of cut ratchet, air filter in the
cowl and the underside of the deck housing.
Remove grass debris from the grassbag and check for signs of damage.
Check the condition of guards and safety devices.
Check condition of cutterblade.

MAINTENANCE
Cutterblade Removal
Turn the mower on its side.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade (2) with a gloved hand and
remove bolt (1). When replacing ensure that the new cutterblade is the
correct way up with the turned edges facing towards the motor before
locating onto the two carrier pins. Secure the cutterblade fixing nylon
bolt and tighten to the specified torque of 20Nm.
The cutterblade has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to
protect your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT
rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury
should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement
parts.
The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should
be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cutterblade is not bent or cracked.
A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively
and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.
Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened
to the specified torque of 20Nm.
1.20
Replace the cutterblade every 2 years or sooner if excessively worn or
damaged.
To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower
on its side.
Page 21
30°-45°
MOWERMAINTENANCE
Cutterblade Sharpening
A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges
must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade
every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.
Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and
water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage. Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance.
Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a
round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the
cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will
remain horizontal.
If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.
Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.
Supply Cable
Check the condition of the supply cable for damage or ageing. Replace
immediately if defective.
