Mowing Tips
• Observe and mark rocks and other fixed
objects in order to avoid collisions.
• The cutting deck should be properly
leveled for best mowing performance.
The blades should be parallel to the
ground or slightly tipped down in the
front.
• Only use sharp blades.
• Check tire pressure. Different pressure
can cause uneven mowing results.
• The left hand side of the deck 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 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"
(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.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and
other objects that can be
thrown out by the blades.
