Grass Height & Cutting Suggestions
¾ Do not attempt to cut wet grass
¾ The average lawn should be cut to 2 ½” during the cool season and to over 3”
during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after
moderate growth.
¾ As a rule , never cut more than 1/3 of the total grass blade length. Correct mowing
height can reduce weeds and lawn disease.
¾ For best performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice. The
first cut should be set relatively high and the second set to the desired height.
NOTE:
If you have never used a Zero
Turn mower before, refer to the
Operation Controls section of
this manual before attempting to
operate one for the first time.
