heights: low (will cut grass the shortest), medium, and
high (Fig. 15).

The cutting height tolerance is +/- 0.2 in. (5 mm).
5. Move all four wheels to the desired cutting height by
pulling back on the rod axle and setting it to the correct
position. Make sure all four wheels are at the same cutting
height position.

Mowing Tips

WARNING!
Inspect the area prior to mowing and
remove all the stones, sticks, wires and other foreign objects
that could be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade.
Failure to comply not only will damage the mower blade, but
can also lead to serious personal injury.
• Be sure to check the mowing blade periodically for signs
of wear and sharpen it at least once per year, as described
in the maintenance section.
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the
performance of the mower, especially when cutting tall
blades of grass.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed
in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper
discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut
off one-third or less from the total length of the grass. The
average lawn should be approximately 1.5 to 2 in. (3.8 to
5 cm) long during cool months, and more than 2 in. (5 cm)
long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should
be cut in the fall.
• The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
• When crossing any gravelled surfaces, release the switch
bar lever to turn off the mower. The stones can be picked
up and thrown by the rotating blade.
• Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing
on uneven ground or in tall weeds.

WARNING!
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor
and remove the safety key. Thoroughly inspect the mower and
repair any damage before resuming work.
• IMPORTANT! Never open the ejector flap when the grass
collection bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the
motor is still running. A rotating blade can cause serious
injuries!
• Always carefully fasten the ejector flap and grass
collection bag. Switch off the motor before emptying the
grass collection bag. Always ensure that a safe distance
(provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be especially
careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes
and inclines.
• Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear
and long trousers. Always mow across an incline (not up
and down).
• For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to
mow inclines with gradients exceeding 15 degrees.
• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn
mower towards you as such maneuvering of the machine
poses a tripping hazard.
