F G H 1 J How to Mow 1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection. Do Not Overload Your Mower Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. REMEMBER: For best grass collection always mow in a straight line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side. Adjusting the Cutting Height K Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could cause injury. Never use more than 3 Cutting Height Spacers. Spacers must only be fitted between the blade and the fan and NEVER between the blade and the bolt. [. . . ] Bowden of Electrolux Outdoor Products, Aycliffe Industrial Park, NEWTON AYCLIFFE, Co.
