throttle control to the fast position° Engine
warm-up may take from several seconds
to several minutes (the colder the tem-
perature, the longer the warm-up)o
o The attachments can also be used during
the engine warm-up period.
NOTE: tf at a high altitude (above 3000
feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F)
the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be

MOWING TIPS
. Mower should be properly leveled for best
mowing performance See "TO LEVEL
MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming
, Drive so that clippings are discharged onto
the area that has already been cut Have
the cut areato the right of the tractor, This
will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting
• When mowing large areas, start by turning
to the right so that clippings will discharge
away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
etc° After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns
until finished°

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possible
fire hazard from dried clippings. Make
first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesir-
able clumps, Allow grass to dry before
mowing.
• Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing to assure better mow-
ing performance and proper discharge
of material Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the
mower cutting performance as well as the
quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain and
give best performance of the attachment
being used,
