GROUND DRIVE

MOWING TIPS

Tire chains cannot be used when the

 

mower housing is attached to tractor.

Mower should be properly leveled for

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and

possible fire hazard from dried

clippings. Make first cut relatively

high; the second to the desired height.

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.
