MOWING TIPS

CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher blade attachments on your mower. Such attachments are hazardous, will damage your mower and could void your warranty.

•Under certain conditions, such as when mowing very tall grass, raise the mower height on the fi rst cut to reduce pushing effort, to avoid overheating the motor, and to avoid leaving clumps of grass clippings. Make the second cut to the desired height.

•For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut.

•For side discharge operation, cut in a counterclockwise direction, starting at the outside of the area to be cut, in order to spread grass clippings more evenly and to put less load on the motor. To keep clippings off of walkways, fl ower beds, etc., make the fi rst cuts in a clock- wise direction.

•When using a 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 grass clipping is left on the right side of a rear discharge lawn mow- er, mow in a clockwise direction with a small overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass.

•Pores in cloth grass catchers can become fi lled with dirt and dust with use and the catcher will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before use.
