3) For best performance, keep the mower
housing free of built-up grass. From time to
time turn off mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then unplug
the Safety Key (5) and turn mower on its
side. Using an object such as a stick, wipe
out any accumulation of grass in the blade
area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the
blade. Clean often in wet, new grass, and
always after every use.
4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions
may require that an area be mulched a
second time to fully disperse the grass
throughout the lawn. If cutting a second
time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular
(across) the first cut pattern. DO NOT
CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT
WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN HILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from week to
week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.

BLaDE (15) SharPENiNG

CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.

quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
