1. 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.
2. 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.
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.
REMEMBER: For best grass collection always mow in a
straight line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.
