Mowing your lawn
Start your mower (see: starting the engine). Keep hold of
the Brake (OPC) Lever (see fig.15) (releasing the Brake
(OPC) Lever will stop the engine to avoid accidents) (fig
16). To power the mower forward, move the Drive Lever
up and forward (fig.17). The Mower can be pushed with
the drive disengaged for more precise handling. After
mowing and emptying the Grass Catcher ensure the
engine it not running and turned off.

Stopping the mower
To stop the mower, release the operator control lever.
The engine and the blade will stop turning automatically.
If there is a build-up of grass beneath the chassis, stop
the engine, remove the spark plug cap and wait until the
engine has cooled before clearing the grass.
When the engine has been switched off, the cutter
continues running for several seconds therefore do
not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter
has come to a standstill!

Mulching insert
The mulching insert prevents grass from being collected
by blocking the collection chute. This allows the grass
clippings to be deposited back on the lawn during cutting.
1. Open the rear deflector guard, hold it in position and
insert the mulching insert into the rear discharge
chute (Fig. 18). Ensure the lower side of the handle
snaps in place.

2. Press the lower side of the handle to release and re-
move the mulching insert (Fig. 19).
