OPERATING THE MOWER
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking
notch, then push forwards to raise or pull backwards to lower 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
engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass
conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all
objects which when contacted by the cutterblade could become
dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden 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.
Lift the grassbag through the handlebar and close the rear door to rest
against the rear of the mower.
To empty the grassbag, 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 engine overloading.
Open the rear door and slide the mulcher plug into the rear dicharge
chute. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted and the door is closed.
Mulching finely cuts the grass so that the grass can be easily recycled.
Due to the nutrients that this returns to the soil the lawn will need less
fertilizer.

T o prevent engine overloading and blockages be prepared to make two
cuts in areas of heavy growth. If collection is required, first 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.
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the cutterblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the
cutting mechanism.

Heavy Growth
There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away
leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.
Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil
organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.
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.
Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of
coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.
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.
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.
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.

To be used as a guide only.
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.
Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the
roots from the winter frost and snow.
Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in
drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.
Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf
free from leaves.
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.
- Mulching finely cuts the grass so that it can be easily recycled. Due to
the nutrients that this returns to the soil the lawn will need less fertilizer.
- The grass must be dry. If the grass is wet, it will be difficult to cut
and cause heavy clumps of grass.
- In long grass, two cuts may be necessary. First cut, set the height
adjust in the highest position. Then lower, for second cut to obtain
the desired finish.
- Clean the underside of the mower housing regularly to ensure efficient operation.
To prevent grass damage do not remove mor e than one third of the
grass height in one cut.

MOWER MAINTENANCE
Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing
immediately after use.
To prevent accidents fertilisers and top dressings are particularly
corrosive. Thoroughly clean the mowerdeck immediately after use
on treated grass and store well away from corrosive materials.
Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace
missing or damaged items immediately.
Move the plastic adjuster as necessary. Then move the drive clutch
lever to the engage position and check the drive.
If the drive system still slips, adjust the cable until correct.
Cable stretch will change the performance of the drive system, resulting in the clutch slipping particularly when operating in thick grass or
on slopes.
To adjust the clutch cable; rotate the plastic adjuster to shorten/lengthen the cable until satisfactory drive performance is obtained.
Check the clutch cable operation every 25 operating hours and adjust
if necessary.

Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove
the bolt securing the cutterblade.
To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the
spark plug lead has been removed. 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 47.5Nm.
Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or
damaged.
To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower

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.

Storage
To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficiently to allow it to pivot forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to
ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point
and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through
contact with the engine spark plug.
Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Briggs &
Stratton fuel additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in
the fuel system or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower
is maintained in good working order it is important that the following
procedure is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.
Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops.
Disconnect the spark plug lead.
Change the engine oil.
Remove the engine spark plug and pour 15ml of engine oil into the
engine cylinder and replace the spark plug. Do not exceed the stated
volume of oil as engine damage may occur on re-starting. Do not
replace the spark plug lead. Slowly pull the engine start - grip once
to crank the engine. This will distribute the oil and help prevent engine
corrosion.
Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling
fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.
Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.
Lubricate the mower.
Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.
Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilated area.
