Mowing Tips
• Observe and fl ag rocks and other fi xed objects
to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it
until the desired mowing result is attained.
The average lawn should be cut to 2½"
(64 mm) during the cool season and 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 6"
(15 cm) in height should be mowed twice.
Make the fi rst cut relatively high; the second to
the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a high
engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and
low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass
is not too long and dense, the driving speed
can be increased without negatively affecting
the mowing result.
• The fi nest lawns are obtained by mowing
often. The lawn becomes more even and the
grass clippings more evenly distributed over
the mown area. The total time taken is not
increased as a higher operating speed can be
used without poor mowing results.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings
fasten under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water
after each use. When cleaning, the mower
deck shall be raised into the transport position.
Make sure the mower is cooled and the engine
is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface of
the deck. Avoid fl ooding water on top surface,
engine and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important
that the mowing interval is frequent.
