MOWING TIPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower hous ing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance. See “TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the
Service and Adjustments sec tion of this
manual.
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trim ming.
• Drive so that clippings are dis charged
onto the area that has already been
cut. Have the cut area to the right of
the tractor. This will result in a more
even dis tri bu tion 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 fi nished.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fi re hazard from dried clip pings.
Make fi rst cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet.
Wet grass will plug mower and leave
undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
Always operate engine at full throt tle
when mowing to assure better mow-
ing performance and proper dis charge
of material. Regulate ground speed by
se lect ing a low enough gear to give the
mower cut ting per for mance as well as
the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments, se lect a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tach ment being used.
