Also, the instruction manual isn’t the best. That said, there are instructional videos on YouTube.However, when I got the grass down to a manageable height, the 40-litre collection bag was plenty big enough.

Manual

Setting the mowing height consists of adjusting three levers. There is a lever for the rear wheels and the front wheels need adjusting individually. The mechanism is smooth and it takes seconds. Yes, it's very unlikely that the spring has weakened in such a short time, but that's not to say that a wee link somewhere hasn't failed or loosened. As an example, my own rear garden is about 15 metres long and 7 metres in width. Multiply those 2 numbers together and you get 105 square metres. Then repeat that process for all your gardens and you will get an approximate square metre size.

If you feel you can handle the 20kg weight and you’d prefer to save yourself some money, Mountfield make the same mower without the self-propelling feature. So, if you push your mower down one length of your garden, the cutting width is the width of grass your mower will actually cut. A mower with a 39 cm cutting width for example, will cut 39cm of grass, so to cover a metre will take 3 passes of your mower. This Mountfield mower is powered by a 100cc overhead valve engine which is easy to start and economical to run. Self-PropelledThere are various mechanisms used to control that lever - sometimes the stiff wire link disappears in to the engine casing and is controlled from something internal, and other times it's from a curved 'flap' which sits close to the fan at the top of the engine - the faster the engine spins, the further the paddle (which is in the air flow) moves. It’s small, fairly basic, but well priced while at the same time being good quality. 100cc OHV Engine However, for many people, pushing them up and down the lawn can be tiring work, especially when mowing up and down inclines.
