MULCHING MOWING TIPS

When using the mulching plug, your new mower is designed to cut the grass clippings into small pieces and distribute them back into the lawn, using mulching fins located inside the mower deck. Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn. Please review the following recommendations for optimum mulching performance,

1) Avoid mowing when the grass is

wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which interfere with the mulching action and reduce runtime. The best time to mow grass is in the late afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

2) For best mulching performance, set17

3-in-1 Cordless Lawn Mower EN the cutting height to remove about one third of the grass blade length, ideally no more than 1.5” inches at one time. If the lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to reduce the pushing effort and prevent overloading the motor. For extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high cut height setting, and then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly.

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(6) 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 A

5) Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn. MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Stop the mower and

remove the Safety Key before removing the Grass Collection Bag. Note: To ensure long and reliable service, perform the following maintenance procedures regularly. Check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged or a damaged blade, loose fittings, and worn or damaged components. Check that the covers and guards are all undamaged and are correctly attached to mower. Carry out any necessary maintenance or repairs before operating mower. If the mower should happen to fail despite regular maintenance, please call our customer helpline 1-866-354- 9679 for advice. BLADE (18) SHARPENING

CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.

WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE

REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING

BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS

REMOVED. Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.

REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE

IMMEDIATELY. WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE: (See Fig. M)

1. Make sure blade remains balanced.

2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting

3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of

blade to keep it balanced, removing equal amounts of material from both ends. Note:

1. Be sure the mower is turned off and

2. Place the mower in stand up storage

mode. BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. N) Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade N-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank N-2, clamped horizontally in a vise N-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops. BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. O1, O2) Replace your metal Blade (18) after 50 hours mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner- regardless of condition. Follow these procedures to remove and replace the Blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the Blade. Hold the Blade and unscrew the Blade Bolt (17) counter- clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then remove the Blade. To re-assemble, position the Blade with the cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten the Blade Bolt.18 3-in-1 Cordless Lawn Mower EN STORAGE: (See Fig. L1,L2,L3) Stop the mower and always remove the Safety Key. Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots. Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement. Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine. To aid storage, release the handle release knobs (14), and rotate or fold the upper handle. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Solution
