Operating Tips  
General Mowing Tips  
• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and  
other debris that the blade could hit.  
• Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never  
deliberately mow over any object.  
• If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,  
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the lead  
from the spark plug, and examine the mower for  
damage.  
• For best performance, install a new blade before  
the cutting season begins.  
Figure 18  
• Replace the blade when necessary with a genuine  
replacement blade.  
Cutting Grass  
Removing the Grass Bag  
• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.  
Do not cut below the 51 mm setting unless the grass  
is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to  
slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.  
To remove the bag, reverse the steps above.  
Rear-discharging the  
Clippings  
• When cutting grass over 15 cm tall, mow at the  
highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then  
mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn  
appearance. If the grass is too long, the mower may  
plug and cause the engine to stall.  
Use the rear discharge for cutting very tall grass.  
If the bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to Removing  
the Grass Bag) before rear-discharging the clippings  
(Figure 19). The Recycling/bagging lever should be in  
the bagging mode.  
• Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves  
tend to clump on the yard and can cause the mower  
to plug or the engine to stall.  
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if  
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry  
conditions.  
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse  
the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.  
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try  
one or more of the following:  
Figure 19  
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.  
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
– Raise the cutting height on your mower.  
– Cut the grass more frequently.  
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full  
swath with each pass.  
– Set the cutting height on the front wheels one  
notch lower than the rear wheels. For example,  
set the front wheels at 60 mm and the rear  
wheels at 70 mm.  
Cutting Leaves  
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn  
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to  
make more than one pass over the leaves.  
• If there are more than 13 cm of leaves on the lawn,  
set the front cutting height one or two notches  
higher than the rear cutting height.  
• Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does  
not cut the leaves finely enough.
