MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from ovedoading the
engine and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to
reduce ground speed and/or run the
lawn mower over the area a second
time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the fast position.
• For side discharge lawn mowers,
cutting in a counter-clockwise direction,
starting at the outside of the area to be
cut, spreads grass clippings more
evenly and puts less load on the
engine. To keep clippings off of
walkways, flower beds, etc., make the
flint cuts in a clockwise direction.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
"become filled with dirt and dust with
use end catchers will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly hose catcher
off with water and let dry before using,
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and
extend engine life.
MULCHING MOWINGTIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See "Cleaning" in
MAINTENANCE section of this manua
• The special mulching blade will reel
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they f
onto the lawn they will disperse into
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade quic
to provide nutdents for the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest eng
(blade) speed as this will provide th,
best recurring action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is w_
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action, "
best time to mow your lawn is the e_
afternoon. At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will no1
exposed to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mo'
cutting height so that the lawn mowq
cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrov
will be necessary to raise the height
cut to reduce pushing effort and to kq
from overloading the engine and
leaving clumps of mulched grass. F¢
extremely heavy mulching, reduce y
width of cut by overlapping previous
cut path and mow slowly.
• Certain types of grass and grass
conditions may require that an area
mulched a second time to completel
hide the clippings. When doing a
second cut, mow across or peq3end;
lar to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattem from w(
to week. Mow north to south one we
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting
and graining of the lawn.
