MOWING TIPS
•Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
•For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.
•For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions, the engine speed should be set in the fast position.
•When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not enter the grass catcher. Reduce ground speed
(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
•If a trail of clippings is left on the right
side of a rear discharge mower, mow in a clockwise direction with a small
overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass.
•Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with
use and catchers will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before using.
•Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
