MOWlNGTIPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housingisattached to tractor.
• Mower should be propedy leveled for
best mowing performance. See =TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustmentssection of this
manual.
• The left hand side of mower shouldbe
used for trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged
ontothe area that has been cut. Have
the cut area tothe dght ofthe tractor.
Thiswill result in a more even distdbu-
tion of clippingsand more uniform
cutting.
• When mowing large areas, start by
turningto the dghtso that clippingswill
discharge away from shrubs,fences,
driveways, etc. Afterone or two
rounds, mow in the oppositedirection
making left hand turns untilfinished.
• Ifgrass Is extremely tall,it should be
mowed twice to reduce loadand
possible fire hazard from dded dip-
pings. Make firstcat relatively high;the
second to the desired height.
• Do notmow grasswhen it iswet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave
undesirable clumps. Allow grass todry
before mowing.
• Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing toassure bettermowing
performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the
mower cuttingperformance as well as
the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments,select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the
attachment being used.
