HOW TO USE EN 37

4.The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector channel.

5.The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass, which should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.

6.During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.

7.If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour period. The first time with the blades at maximum height, possibly reducing the cutting width, and the second cut at the desired height.

8.The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cutting in both

directions. 1 2

9.If the collector system tends to get blocked with grass, you should reduce the forward speed since this may be too high for the condi- tion of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable causes are either badly sharpened blades or deformed wings.

10.Be very careful when mowing near bushes or low kerbs which could distort the horizontal

position and damage the edge of the cutting deck as well as the blades.
