To turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direction required.
To make a tight turn, apply downward pressure on the handlebar to
raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer 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 engine is running.
Release the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop: If the engine fails to stop, move the throttle lever
to the ‘slow’ position and disconnect the spark plug lead.
To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater
than 20 degrees.
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
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 mower 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.
Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag through the handlebar and
lower the rear deflector 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.
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
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.

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction disc to help prevent damage occurring to the engine crankshaft and cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered.
Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the
cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to
“Maintenance”.
When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the engine
and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting
mechanism.

MOWERTHEOPERATING
1.18
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.

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.
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the
grass height in one cut.

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.

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.
