G. MOWING TiPS
NOTE: PiJways inspect area where mower

is to he used and remove all stones,
sticks, wire, metal and other debris
which might he thrown hy the rotating

h|ade.

1) Mow across the face of slopes, never
up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution

when changing direction on slopes. Do
not mow excessively steep slopes. Always

maintain good footing.

2) Release switch lever to turn mower "OFF"
when crossing any graveled area (stones

can be thrown by the blade).

3) Set mower at highest cutting height when
mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds.

Removing too much grass at one time can
cause circuit breaker to trip, which stops

mower.

4) If a grass bag is used during the fast
growing season, the grass may tend to

clog up at the discharge opening. Release
switch lever to turn mower "OFF" and

remove the safety key. Remove the grass
bag and shake the grass down to the back

7. MULCHING MOWING TiPS

While mulching, your new mower is designed
to cut the grass clippings into small pieces

and distribute them back into the lawn. Under
normal conditions, the mulched grass will

biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the
lawn.
