MOWINGTIPS

•Under certain conditions, suchas 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.

•For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the wtdth of cut and raise the rear of the lawn mower hous-

ing one (1) wheel adjuster setting higher than the

front for better discharge ofgrass. .

oFor better grass bagging andmost cutting con- ditions, the engine speed should be set in the "HIGH" (FAST) position.

•When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist, heavy grass, clumpsof cut grass may not enter the grass catcher_ Reduce ground speed

(pushingspeed) and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time.

•If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a clockwise direction with a small overlap to col-

lect the clippings on the next pass.

oPores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will col-

lect lessgrass. To prevent this, regularly hosecat- cher off with water and let dry before using.

. Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This wdi help engine

air flow and extend engine life_
