NOTE: All wheels must be in the same height of
cut.

Operating Tips
• For best results, do not cut wet grass.
• New grass, thick grass, or wet grass may require a narrower cut.
• For a healthier lawn, never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass.
• Your lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is growth.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass.
• Adjust ground speed according to the condition of the lawn.
• If the grass has been allowed to grow in excess of 4 inches, mulching is not recommended.
Mow using the side discharge to reduce the grass height to 3-1/4 inches or less before
mulching.
