4 How to Mow
1. For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first. (H1) 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. (H2) 3. For best grass collection always mow in a straight line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side. 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.

Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection.

Adjusting the Cutting Height
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Never use more than 3 Cutting Height Spacers. Spacers must only be fitted between the blade and the fan and NEVER between the blade and the bolt. 1. Remove the blade bolt, and blade as described in Removing the Blade and Fan. 2. For a Lower Cut - Add spacers to a maximum of 3. 3. For a Higher Cut - Take spacers away. 4. Refit the blade as described in Fitting the Blade and Fan.
