MOWING TIPS
•Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor.
•Mower should be propedy leveled for
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 machine. This will result in a more even distribu-
tion of clippings and more uniform cut- ting.
•When mowing large areas_ start by tum- ing to the right so that clippings will dis- charge away from shrubs, fences, drive- ways, etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished
•If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possi- ble fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave unde- sirable clumps. Allow gra,s,_o d_ before mowing.
•Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se- lecting a low enough gear to give the mower the best 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 pe_ormance of the at- tachment being used.
