NOTE: When the self-propelled system is turned off, the lawn
mower may lock itself from mowing backwards. In this case,
simply push ahead slightly and then move the mower back
as needed.
During operation, it may be easier to mow around an object
with the self-propelled system turned off.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, never attempt to
override the operation of the switch or self-propelled system.
Use the self-propelled system for its intended
purpose only.
Grass Bag Filling Level Indicator
1. The grass bag is equipped with a filling level indicator
window that is opened by the airflow that the lawn mower
generates during operation (Fig. 18).
2. If the flap closes during mowing, this indicates that the
grass bag is full and must be emptied.

NOTE: To ensure that the filling level indicator functions
properly, keep the holes under the flap clean and permeable.
Mowing Tips
m
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 replace as needed, 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 in. to 2 in.
(3.8 cm 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.
m
WARNING!
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor
and remove the batteries. 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!
