4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Adjusting Cutting Height
The Flymo Visimo 1100 offers 3 cutting height settings, ranging from 20 mm to 60 mm. To adjust the cutting height:
- Ensure the lawnmower is disconnected from the power supply.
- Locate the cutting height adjustment lever/mechanism, typically near the wheels.
- Move the lever to the desired height setting. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height.
4.2. Starting and Stopping
- Before Starting: Connect the lawnmower to a suitable outdoor power outlet. Ensure the power cable is laid out to avoid being cut by the blades.
- Starting: Press and hold the safety button on the handle, then pull the bail arm towards the handle. The motor will start. Release the safety button but keep the bail arm held to continue operation.
- Stopping: Release the bail arm. The motor will stop automatically. Disconnect from the power supply after use.
4.3. Mowing Tips
- Mow in overlapping strips to ensure even coverage.
- For best results, mow when the grass is dry.
- Do not overload the motor by attempting to cut excessively long or wet grass.
- Regularly check the grass collector viewing window and empty the grass box before it becomes completely full to maintain optimal performance and prevent tipping.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Flymo Visimo 1100.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the power and clean the underside of the deck and the grass box. Use a brush or damp cloth; avoid using water jets directly on electrical components.
- Blade Care: Periodically check the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn. If the blade is damaged or excessively worn, replace it with a genuine Flymo replacement blade. Always wear heavy-duty gloves when handling the blade.
- Storage: Store the lawnmower in a dry, secure place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The handle can be folded for compact storage.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cable for any cuts, fraying, or damage. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
