MOWING TiPS

•Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

. Mower should be properly leveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

. The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has already been

cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will result in a more

even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting.

•When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished.

f

. If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and pos- sible fire hazard from dried clippings.

Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.

. Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough speed to give

the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the at- tachment being used.
