SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

★Never mow while barefoot or wearing open sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes

★Know your controls. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in any emergency

★Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris. They could be thrown by the blade

★Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before clearing blockages, checking, or working on the mower.

★Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or

damaged blades in sets to preserve balance.

DAMAGED BLADES AND WORN BOLTS ARE MAJOR HAZARDS.

★Check all nuts, bolts and screws often; always be sure the mower is in a safe operating condition. Use only genuine replacement

parts.

★Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke while fuelling engine. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap off the fuel

tank or add fuel while the engine is running or the engine is hot. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the

machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated.

★Do not mow whilst people, especially children or pets are in the mowing area.

★Replace worn or faulty silencers (muffler)

★Mow only in good daylight.

★Never use the mower unless the grass catcher or guards (rear flap) provided by the manufacturer are in position.

★Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blade.

★Do not operate the engine in a confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

★Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.

★Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.

★Store the mower in a well-ventilated room away from naked flames such as may be found in hot water heaters.

★Do not over-speed the engine or alter governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens the mower life.

★It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when operating a mower.

★Turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing and reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out.

★Store fuel in a cool place in a container specifically designed for the purpose. In general, plastic containers are unsuitable.

★Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and inspect the mower if: a) the mower begins to vibrate abnormally; or b) after

striking a foreign object.

★Never cut grass while walking backwards.

★Stop the engine before pushing the mower across gravel drives, walks or roads.

★Walk, never run.

★Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow

excessively steep slopes.

MAINTENANCE -Mulch mowers (only)

Mulching Equipment

For optimum mulching performance

★

The mulch blades are to be kept sharp.

★

Maintain the blade sharpening angle when sharpening.

★

Keep the cutting edge feather free when sharpening.

★

Keep the underside of the mower deck and the mulch plug free of build-up.

★

Refer to the Cleaning section on page 7.

MULCH MOWING INFORMATION

Some models are fitted with an option for mulch mowing.

A mulch plug is supplied with these mowers and it is installed in the rear discharge chute (as

noted in the “OPERATION” section of this manual) to perform mulch mowing.

The following information provides advice on mulch mowing .

MULCH MOWING

The mulch mowing setup reduces the grass clippings into very fine particles.

The design allows for the even distribution of the grass particles at the base of the lawn.

The mulched clippings can then:

★ Break down quickly, releasing nutrients into the soil, saving on fertilizer costs.

★ Reduce evaporation of moisture from the soil which reduces watering costs and effort.

★ Help to control temperature extremes protecting the roots of the grass.

★ Assist in controlling soil erosion.

BENEFITS TO YOUR LAWN

Research has shown that lawns are usually cut too short,

Grass, like any other plant life, relies on photosynthesis to regenerate and survive.

Reduced leaf size (from cutting too low) can seriously effect a lawn by:

★ Making it more susceptible to disease.

★ Encouraging weeds to take hold.

★ Exposing the soil to:

- greater evaporation

- temperature extremes

- erosion

Raising the cut height and using mulch mowing follows the best practice for nurturing a healthier more attractive lawn with less water

usage.

BENEFITS FOR YOU

Because you mulch as you mow the time and cost savings are also significant:

★ Eliminating raking of leaves before mowing (Mulch mowing picks up and converts fallen

leaves into mulch).

★ Eliminating raking of cut grass.

★ Saves time spent emptying the catcher.

★ Automatically disposing of grass clippings.

★ Eliminating the need to dispose of clippings at the refuse tip.

MULCH MOWING INFORMATION (continued)

USEFUL MULCH MOWING TIPS Mulch mowing is an art form and to produce the best results consistently, follow these useful hints:

★ Do not attempt to mulch if the grass is too wet.

Wet grass tends to clump together and does not evenly spread out.

It also clogs up the underside of the base.

★Do not mulch mow on too low a cutting height.

Remember the maximum cut should be

25mm off the top of the grass, or 1/3rd

the grass (blade) height, whichever is the

lesser amount . Refer to figure 20.

★Do not push the mower too fast.

To obtain the best finish it may be

necessary to regulate the ground speed.

Figure 20. Grass

height

★Run the engine at full throttle.

Running the engine at low speed does not allow the blades to

mulch the grass efficiently.

★Keep the mulch blades sharp.

The mulch blades are designed to cut and re-cut the blades of grass.

If the mulch blades are not kept sharp, mulching performance will be reduced.

★Keep the underside of the mower and mulch plug clean.

Build-up of grass under the mower base blocks the airflow created by the mulch blade and

reduces the mulching performance.

★If the conditions for mulch mowing are not ideal and some clipping trails are visible after cutting maybe

necessary to:

1. Fit the grass catcher and catch mow.
