2. 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.
Adjusting the Cutting Height
L
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges
could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Never use more
than 3 Cutting Height Spacers for the Turbo Lite 330
OR 4 Cutting Height Spacers for the Turbo Lite
350/400. Spacers must only be fitted between the
blade and the fan and NEVER between the blade

Caring for your Lawnmower
P
Cleaning (USE GLOVES) (P)
It is very important that you keep your lawnmower
clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or

wood or similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all
air intakes.
3. Remove the blade, see Figure M, to gain access to
the fan and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.

IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do
not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or sol-
vents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace blade, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter thor-
oughly and carry out any service or repairs required.
4. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
