HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
7. The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm.
With one cut, you do not need to re-
move more than a third of the total
height.
If the grass is very tall, it should be cut
twice in a twenty-four hour period - the
first time with the blades at maximum
height, possibly reducing the cutting
width, and the second cut at the desired
height.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve
if you alternate cutting in both direc-
tions.
9. If the collector system tends to get
blocked with grass, you should reduce
the forward speed as it may be too high for the condition of the grass. If the prob-
lem persists, the probable causes are either badly sharpened blades or deformed
wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as these could distort the hori-
zontal position of the cutting deck and damage its edge as well as the blades.
5.3.4 Slopes
Complying with the slope limits already
mentioned, lawns on a slope have to mowed
moving up and down and never across
them, taking great care when changing di-
rection that the first wheels do not hit obsta-
cles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.),
that may cause the machine to slide side-
ways, roll over or otherwise cause loss of
control.
