Mowing Tips
Observe and mark rocks and other xed objects in •
order to avoid collisions.
Properly level the cutting deck for best mowing •
performance. The blades should be parallel to the
ground or slightly tipped down in the front.
Use only sharp blades.•
Check tire pressure. Different pressure can cause •
uneven mowing results.
Use the left hand side of the deck for trimming.•
Mow so clippings are discharged onto the area •
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the
right of the mower. This will result in more even
distribution of clippings and a more uniform cut.
To avoid clippings spraying on roads etc, mow the
rst two patterns in opposite direction.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until •
the desired mowing result is attained.
Cut the average lawn to 2½" (64 mm) during the •
cool season and to over 3" (76 mm) during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 15 cm •
(6") in height should be mowed twice. Make the
rst cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height.
Use a high engine speed (the blades rotate •
rapidly) and low ground speed (the machine
moves slowly) for the best mowing results. If the
grass is not too long and dense, the ground speed
can be increased without noticeably depreciating
the mowing result.
Mow often to obtain the nest lawn. Mowing •
becomes more even and grass clippings more
evenly distributed over the mown area. The total
time taken is not increased, as a higher driving
speed can be used without inferior mowing results.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is •
inadequate because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn. Clumps build and the grass clippings will
fasten under the cowling.
Hose the mower deck with water after each use. •
Hose especially underneath. Do not spray high
pressure spray directly on top of spindles. Avoid
getting engine too wet.
Do not spray water directly on a hot mower. Allow •
it to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning.
