MOWING TIPS

•	Tire chains cannot be used when the
	mower housing is attached to tractor.

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and

possible fire hazard from dried

clippings. Make first cut relatively

	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 been cut. Have
	the cut area to the right of the tractor.
	This will result in a more even distribu-
	tion 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,

•	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 gear 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
	attachment being used.
