er, lovelier
lawn with generally
fewer
weeds.
Mow more frequently
during peri-
ods of fast growth.
Frequent
cutting
ensures
that the lower, less attractive
portion
of the grass will not show.
• If'your
lawn has grown too long, (a vaca-
tion, for example,
may interrupt
your cut-
ting schedule)
mow at a cutting
height
one or two positions
higher than normal.
A second
pass at "normal"
cutting height
a few days later will put your lawn back
on schedule,
Changing
the cutting height
Is a simple matter with the One Touch
Wheel
Height Adjustment,
which simulta-
neously
adjusts
all four wheels at once.
• During the spring and fall, (or after an
interruption
to the cutting
schedule)
the
grass will be longer and thicker. If the
motor continually
slows down while cut-
ting, try setting
the wheels
for a higher
cutting
height. Excessive
motor loading
can result in uneven
cutting,
quicker dis-
charge
of the battery, and can cause the
circuit
breaker
to trip, which stops the
motor.
• Three good ideas to enhance
your
lawn's appearance:
Vary the mowing
direction
frequently;
mow horizontally
on
hillsides;
(this is also a good safety prac-
tice) and do not forget to overlap
the
mowing path on each pass.
• .Always mow grass so that clippings
are
discharged
onto cut lawn. This will keep
your lawn looking fresh by avoiding
"Cut
Grass" build-up
which will eventually
brown and appear
ugly, This method
also preserves
your battery charge,
ensuring
you get the most from your
Craftsman
Cordless
Power Mower.
• During the spring and fall seasons
when
the grass is longer and thicker, you can
use your mower
without it being fully
recharged.
(i.e. green charge indication
light is on). This will enable you to per-
form short cutting
tasks, but we don't
recommend
this be done frequently.
The
battery.and
mower perform much better
if charged
fully.
