Operational Procedures
Using your mower
• Read and observe the Safety instructions on page 3 of this manual. Be alert.
•
Always use the mower with the grass catcher (HRU19RPU, HRU196PU, HRU197PU &
HRU216SU).
• Note HRU19DPU, HRU196DPU, HRU197DPU, HRU216DSU & HRU217DPU
should be used with either grass catcher or discharge plug fitted.
• Adjust the throttle lever to the desired engine speed.
• Stand directly behind the mower and firmly hold the handle with both hands.
• Walk, never run with a mower. Control the direction by using the handle, not by foot
pressure on the mower base.
• Always push, never pull the mower while the engine is running.
• Mow across slopes, NEVER up and down the face of slopes. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.
• It is advisable to start mowing at the high cutter height setting then lower to suit the
desired cut.
• Empty the grass catcher regularly, particularly if the grass is long, as the catcher
will fill more quickly.
• Never bind or strap the clutch lever to the handle (HRU216SU & HRU216DSU).
To empty the grass catcher: 21” MODELS - HRU216SU, HRU216DSU,
HRU217DPU
Stop the engine.
• Lift the discharge guard and
grasp the top handle of the
catcher. Lift and pull back to
remove the catcher. Empty
contents.
• Check and clear the catcher.
Also check the rear housing
chute for blockages,
particularly if grass is damp.
Disconnect the spark plug cap
and clear if necessary.
