• When mowing the lawn, move the mower through the lawn at a sensible rate so as not to strain the machine, thus
maintaining its efficiency and to achieve the best cutting results.
• Mow in slightly overlapping rows. An effective pattern is to mow in straight lines, starting along the longest edge
of the work area, then turning at the end and mowing the next row and so on. Using a regular pattern helps
keep the end result neat and reduces the chance of uncut areas.
• For lawn areas with trees or flowerbeds, for best results it is recommended to cut 1 to 2 rows around the
circumference of trees or flowerbeds.
• Empty the grass catcher regularly. Some models may feature an indicator that shows you when you have to empty
the grass catcher. This is usually a small flap on the top of the catcher that lifts when the catcher becomes full.
• You need to always keep in mind that the longest part of turf consists of a stem and one or two leaves. If you cut
the leaves completely, the grass will be damaged and the new growth will be much more difficult.
• The low level cut used in excess, will cause alteration in the roots and consequently the appearance of the lawn
will be irregular.
• During summer, the grass should be kept moderately high since it helps the soil not drying out.
• The grass will look better if you cut it regularly at the same height alternating cutting directions.
MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive
maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly.
ATTENTION: Make sure the machine is completely turned off before performing any maintenance
or repairs. This will eliminate any potential risk.
The machine is set at the factory. Do not make unnecessary adjustments, adjust only when necessary
due to normal wear.
CLEANING GUIDELINES
ATTENTION: Do not use solvents, chemicals or abrasives when cleaning the machine, as some
surfaces may be damaged.
• Wear gloves or use suitable tools to assist in cleaning, do not use bare hands.
• Clean the machine after every use to ensure best performance and longest service life.
• It is recommended to jack the machine up when inspecting or working on the underside of the deck. Avoid tilting
the machine to avoid potential fuel or oil spills or leaks.
• Use a slightly damp cloth, water and mild detergent for cleaning.
• Use a brush for parts that are difficult to reach.
• Ensure air vents and surfaces designed for heat dissipation are clean and free of obstructions or debris.
