Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Use the cutting height setting that matches the grass condition before starting. Select a forward gear that suits the lawn and mowing pace rather than rushing the cut. Empty the 150 litre grass collector before it becomes overfilled. Use reverse only when needed for positioning and manoeuvring. Keep in mind that petrol engine tools need suitable fuel and sensible routine care.
