OPERATION

Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained.

The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2" (64 mm) during the cool season and to over 3" (76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth.

For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.

The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the machine moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result.

The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. The mowing becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher driving speed can be used without poorer mowing results.

Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling.

Hose the mower deck with water after each use. Hose especially underneath.

Do not spray high pressure spray directly on top of spindles.

Avoid getting engine too wet.

WARNING!

Never drive the machine on terrain that slopes more than 10°.

Mow slopes up and down, never side-to-side. Avoid sudden directional changes.
