OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

SIDE DISCHARGE OF THE CLIPPINGS:

In order to achieve optimum performance when side discharging the grass clippings, please read and follow the tips listed below.

Additional information can be found in the troubleshooting guide.

Be sure that deflector is properly installed on the discharge chute.

1.Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.

2.Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog the underside of the deck and discharge area.

3.If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height lever in the top or second notch. Initially overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath with each pass. Some applications may require a second cutting.

4.Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will allow the clippings to discharge correctly.

5.Maintain Sharp Blades Throughout The Cutting Season.

GRASS HEIGHT SUGGESTIONS:

Correct mowing height can reduce weeds and disease by 50 to 80%

The following grass cut heights are based on adequate moisture conditions and normal thatch buildup in a healthy lawn. Some locations and applications may require slightly different cut heights. If in doubt, consult your local lawn professional for assistance.
