MOWING TIPS
See Figure 11.
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and
other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades
or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or other metal
posts. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the
mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury
to the operator and others.
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the
total length of the grass.
When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the
deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass
clippings.
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher
cutting height.
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to completely
stop, and remove the fuse key before cleaning unerneath
the mower.

Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide ob-
stacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.,
which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
balance, release the upper bail immediately.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
