•Certain types ofg rass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a sec- ond time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across

(perpendicular) to the first cut path.

•Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.
