Mowing Tips
•Observe and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions.
•Properly level the cutting deck for best mowing performance. The blades should be parallel to the ground or slightly tipped down in the front.
•Use only sharp blades.
•Check tire pressure. Different pressure can cause uneven mowing results.
•Use the left hand side of the deck for trimming.
•Mow so 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.
•Cut the average lawn to 2½" (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.
•Use a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low ground speed (the machine moves slowly) for the best mowing results. If the grass is not too long and dense, the ground speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result.
•Mow often to obtain the finest lawn. Mowing becomes more even and 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 inferior mowing results.
•Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is inadequate because the wheels sink into the soft lawn. Clumps build and the grass clippings will 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.
•Do not spray water directly on a hot mower. Allow it to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning.
