Starting and Stopping

To Start your Lawnmower The Micro Compact uses an advanced belt drive system, between the motor and the blade which improves cutting power and flotation in all conditions. Due to the high turning force (Torque) which this motor develops a light squeak may be heard when the machine is started, this is quite normal and will not effect the performance of the product. 1. Connect female extension cable connector to the back of the switchbox. (F) 2. Form loop in mains cable and push the loop through the slot as illustrated in picture (G) 3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull the cable back through the slot as illustrated in picture (H). 4. Connect plug to mains and switch on. 5. Move handle to the mowing position. See Fig. C3. 6. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear any residual grass in the collection chute, tilt your lawnmower slightly (J). The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button (K1) to prevent accidental starting. 7. Press and hold the lock-off button (K) on the switchbox, then squeeze one of the Start/Stop levers towards the upper handle (L). 8. Continue to squeeze the start/stop lever towards the upper handle and release the lock-off button. 9. When the lawnmower has reached full speed gently lower it onto the lawn. NOTE There are two start/stop levers fitted. Either one can be used for starting the lawnmower. IMPORTANT Do not use the start/stop levers intermittently To Stop your Lawnmower 1. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear any residual grass in the collection chute, tilt your lawnmower slightly (J). 2. Release the pressure on the Start/Stop lever.

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. (M) Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time. 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. See Adjusting the Cutting Height.
