Cutting Tips; Stop The Engine - Husqvarna R 120S Manuel D'utilisation

Cutting tips

WARNING! Clear the lawn of stones and
!
other objects which can be thrown out by
the blades.
• Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid
collision.
• Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the
required mowing results are obtained.
• The mowing result will be best with the highest permitted
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the Mower moves slowly). If the
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing
result.
• The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often.
Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings
become more evenly distributed over the surface. The
total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to
select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing
results.
• Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior
since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.
• Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each
time it is used. The cutting unit should then be put in the
service position.
WARNING! Do not use the machine on
!
ground that slopes more than 10° ° ° ° . . . . Mow
slopes upwards and downwards, never
across. Avoid sudden changes in direction.
Driving

Stop the engine

Preferably allow the engine to idle for a minute to obtain
normal working temperature before stopping it if it has been
working hard. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as
there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark plugs.
1 Lift up the cutting unit by pulling the lever backwards to its
locked position.
2 Pull back the throttle and let the motor idle for at least 30
sec.
3 Turn the ignition key to the "STOP".
4 When the Rider is at a standstill, press down the parking
brake and push in the locking button.
