OPERATION

 

• Drive so that clippings are discharged

 

 

onto the area that has been cut. Have

 

 

the cut area to the right of the mower.

 

 

This will result in more even distribution

 

 

of clippings and a more uniform cut. To

 

 

avoid clippings spraying on roads etc,

 

 

mow the first two patterns in opposite

 

 

direction.

 

 

• 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"

Mowing patterns

 

(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 15 cm (6") 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 will fasten under the cowling.
