Failure to follow cautious operating practices can result in serious injury to the operator or other persons. The owner must understand these instructions, and must allow only trained persons who understand these instructions to operate the mower. [. . . ] If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively affecting the mowing result. The lawn becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher operating speed can be used without poor mowing results. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling. When cleaning, the mower deck should be raised into the transport position. Avoid flooding water on top surface of deck engine or electrical components. When the mulching kit is used, it is important that the mowing interval is frequent. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. , which could be picked up and thrown by the blades. · 8011-603 Mowing patterns · · · · 32-English OPERATION Stopping the Engine Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it, if it has been worked hard.
