In order to achieve optimum cutting performance, please read and follow the
tips listed below.
Additional information can be found in the troubleshooting guide beginning on
page 35.
Be sure that deflector is properly installed on
the
discharge chute.
1. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.
2. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog the under-
side of the deck and discharge area.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height lever in the top or sec-
ond notch. "Initially" overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath with
each pass. Some applications may require a second cutting.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried
grass and dirt will allow the clippings to discharge correctly.
5. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting Season.
